And you shouldn't feel forced to, even if our lives weren't tied together. Maybe more so, now, if that effect would last even after we leave this place.
[ as iwatooshi speaks, the letters of ink settle again to form a single word: nonexistence. ]
...There may not be a good answer for what to do, Laudna-dono. Maybe it will become clearer over time, but for now, perhaps we should focus on something... less uncertain. Finding the path to all of us getting home safely is just as important as finding who we can trust with all that we are.
[ "as far as i can tell." that might not sit well with him, not quite, but iwatooshi decides not to think about it for now. ]
I agree. Being brought here for this purpose against our will... It isn't right, and it's struck fear in many of our hearts. I would like to protect them, until we can find our way home.
...However, I do feel a bit out of my depth. I have my naginata, but I'm not made to fight against magic.
[well, listen. you never know for sure with people.]
A strong arm, steadiness, and a weapon are really all you need to fight against magic. They're very powerful. They've blocked all of the things I can do. But I suspect we'll find a way to break their hold on us eventually.
[ she's so right. unfortunately some of us would rather plug our ears to that and pretend the possibility isn't there until it smacks us in the face.

I see. I've never faced an opponent who wields magic, but I trust your expertise. [ a soft sigh, but he smiles. ] It does sound like a fun challenge, facing someone with magic instead of steel.

Even the closest of friends disagree sometimes, so it may be inevitable. It's... another risk of having a heart. They're troublesome things.
[ gently touching his chest for just a moment, unaware of the ink shifting on his arm. ]
I worry, too. But, with our existences linked as they are, I want to believe that there will always be the chance to try to find understanding.

Maybe it is inevitable. But not all people are worthy of being let in to your heart.

I want to get everyone home. I don't want everyone to be sacrificed or led to a slaughter. No one here deserves that, as far as I can tell.
