This is Isley.

Please leave a message, but only if you have something important to say.

I have never experienced Erebos, Isley. Is it not natural to want to be sure?

Ah...that.

I suppose it's natural, although Erebos isn't. It changes, so whatever you experience...don't expect that to be the be all and end all.

What's most important is that you're adaptable to your surroundings.

...but I would like to visit there again. I'm fond of that city, despite all of its awfulness and unpredictability.

... fond of it?

[He can't say he understands that, much. A strange thing to be fond of...

Never mind. More important things are being discussed.]

I'm certain whatever I experience will be enough.

Yes, fond. That isn't strange, is it? To be fond of something that interrupts the normalcy of everyday life? Or to be fond of something that offers glimpses of places from our worlds? Places we might never see again.

Or in some cases, less might never, and more will never.

[A sigh.]

Well, experience that place you shall. I'm looking forward to how it responds to you, in fact...ah, and how you respond to it.

It is interesting.

[But not something to be fond of.]

Hm. Will never...

[Yes, that's another topic he doesn't want to discuss.]

Responds? Is there something I should know?

Well, it is a working theory, but it would appear as though Erebos is capable of pulling from our memories the shape of places that exist in our world.

For example, when I am present in the city, my home in Alfons tends to appear, but so do the vast fields acquainted with Musha.

[Yes, and that is why he is fond. Those places that were home to him...he can see them again. Not without risk, of course, but he's no stranger to that.]

They are seldom in the same place twice, however. Everything seems to move there. The way out, included.

The exit moves?

[How is that at all a good thing?]

Everything moves there, like I said. There are no exceptions.

It makes things difficult should something occur.

Of course it does. That's where we come in. It is the Order's job to become familiar with that place. I hope you weren't expecting it to be a walk in the park?

I should hope not. I would be quite disappointed in you otherwise.

[That isn't a problem. He likes hard work.]

Just be prepared.

I'm always prepared. It's you who has something to prove, anyway.

I fully intend to prove it, do not worry yourself.

Hm.

[It's like he is trying to get the last word in, Isley notices.]

I'm not the least bit worried, Byakuya. I have confidence in you.

[Yes he is, stop stealing it from him.]

How reassuring.

[Not really.]

Until then, Isley.

[Disconnecting now. LAST WORD WON.]
