I understand these... [what should he say, crap] Entities... from another world wish to destroy the City and possibly this world, but for what reason? Why are they angry?

[avoids looking at the camera directly, continues on]

There must be some pretext for their actions. [senseless destruction? naaah. and now he looks even more uncomfortable, despite his face being void of any emotion. it's almost like he's hiding something]

Hey, Astral... are you afraid?

[soulbonder]

[... Oh. Shoulders slouch and he looks down, avoiding eye-contact with the camera again.]

[soulbondee]

[Hey what is with all this sadness and avoiding eye-contact.]

Astral...

[soulbonder]

[Because he is feeling scared, sad, and awful.]

Other imPorts view them as a threat. If they arrive and there is violence, I will leave immediately. [Very steady, and emotionally detached] I will not come for you. [LIAR]

[Yuma's arm jerks back, his upper body seeming to recoil from the communicator; his expression better fits someone who just found out MY WIFE IS LEAVING ME??!? than evacuation ditch. There's a waver to his eyes and to the camera (where his arms are shaking), but it steadies when his whole body seems to tense up for combat. These short seconds pass quickly.]

Fine! I don't need to borrow your strength anyway!
