Travis:  With an annoyed click of his tongue, he responded, “Outsiders’ artifacts enable what is impossible according to the laws of magic. That doesn’t mean they operate using undiscovered principles—they defy them. And there’s a few of them around. Most of them are objects with legendary characteristics, like Eleterria.”

Oscar:  “They defy the laws of magic, huh?” Oscar repeated quietly.

Oscar:  Tinasha had told him multiple times that it was beyond magic to rewind time.
gpt
Oscar:  He also knew of something else she had spoken of in the same way.

Oscar:  “Does that mean those old ruins full of cocoons were an outsiders’ artifact, too?”
gpt
Travis:  “Huh? Oh, that place that abducts humans and makes copies of them. That’s an interesting one. A long time ago, I saw it swallow up entire villages all at once,” Travis commented.

Tinasha:  “If you saw it happen, you should have done something about it!” Tinasha exclaimed, naturally.
gpt
Travis:  “As if I’d care,” Travis sniffed, naturally.

Tinasha:  She let out a long, resigned sigh.

Tinasha:  “Why are they called outsiders’ artifacts, anyway? This is the first time I’ve heard that name.”
human
Travis:  “Well, because the existence of such things is a problem in and of itself. Any humans who know about them would have a hard time going public with that knowledge. They were all brought in from beyond our world,” Travis said blandly.
gpt
Oscar:  His explanation didn’t surprise Oscar, because he’d suspected the same thing himself and had asked Tinasha about it once.
human
Tinasha:  Undoubtedly, she remembered that conversation, too, because she only seemed a little rattled as she asked, “So there really is something outside of our world?”
gpt
Travis:  “Why did you think there wouldn’t be? You mortals can barely even recognize that there are different planes of existence, but you acknowledge that they’re real because we demons and other negative manifestations exist. So why didn’t an outsiders’ artifact lead you to consider the existence of something foreign to this world?”
human
Tinasha:  “It seemed like a leap too far. We have far more evidence of the different realms and planes of existence,” Tinasha pointed out.
gpt
Travis:  “So rigid in your thinking. Well, you’re free to believe what you like. Go ahead and think that what you know is all that exists, without even considering that there may be those who enjoy watching you from the outside.” Travis smirked, looking as if none of this had anything to do with him.
human
Travis:  Perhaps he truly believed himself uninvolved. After all, he had also spent centuries delighted with spectating humans.
gpt
Tinasha:  Tinasha huffed out a laugh.
human
Tinasha:  “So it’s like how characters in a book remain unaware that a person is observing from outside the story? But if all they want to do is watch us, then isn’t rewriting the past overly intrusive?”
gpt
Travis:  “It’s you mortals who make the choice to alter history. Regardless, it’s futile to understand what the outsiders are thinking. I met one of them a long time ago—a completely incomprehensible woman.”

Tinasha:  Tinasha hopped forward.

Tinasha:  “You’ve met one?! That’s not fair!
