The fight between Phibrizzo and Father Anderson agitated Doce. Anderson was... not a character she'd ever been fond of. Listening to his ramblings made her cringe. But the battle went about as she expected, and Lucile walked away with a new... floating fish gun... Good for her.<br/><br/>The match ended quickly, and JD awkwardly failed at congratulating her little sis. Momentarily, Rukia came to her with a question.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"What did he mean by 'there's more than one way to kill something with kindness?'"</span><br/><br/>Doce stopped to ponder. She half-crossed her arms, with one hand holding her chin. "Hm... I wonder. Father Anderson is insane, but he tends not to drop hints like that with nothing behind them." After thinking in circles for a good minute or so, the owl-like accessory on her arm started to glow gold, and her eyes turned from gray-blue to glowing red.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Two ways to kill something with kindness: kill the wicked with the 'kindness of god.' That's what he usually does. Other than that... to kill the good? Mercy. Kill the good quickly and without pain, before something worse can befall them. Something worse... 'You think there isn't a reason we want this world to die?' ... Something worse... If we save the world now, will we face something much worse soon after? Pieces... I don't have enough pieces... No, wait. In the first place, the worlds colliding like this should have been due to an accident. Rather than trying to amend this, the other party wants to deliberately suffer the consequences of that? Are there worse consequences? ...It would all come down to the method originally used to merge the worlds. Something worse than what we know was dragged in by it.</span><br/><br/>"Hm... So is that it?" Doce muttered. Her voice was cold and monotonous, as one couldn't experience emotions while Orpheus's Armband was active. "My hypothesis is that Father Anderson believes we have a choice right now. A choice between a quick and painless death due to the worlds colliding, or a much more agonizing one if they don't. I have a vague understanding of what we might face, but I'm missing too much information." Her blood-red, endless eyes met with the GM. "I will have to have a serious discussion with you later."<br/><br/>With as much of the puzzle solved as could be managed, gradually, she faded back to her usual self. Immediately, she let out a long, drawn-out sigh, and placed a hand on her forehead. "And as usual, I hope I'm wrong! Why are there never any other clever people here to suffer with me?" She remembered her clone, and walked up to him, leaning forward so her entire body was supported by her forehead leaning on his shoulder.<br/><br/>"I'm suffering~" she moaned.<br/><br/>"Haha, I'm so stupid!" the clone laughed, patting the original on the head.<br/><br/>"Mu~"<br/><br/>Beta and Ditto looked on in confusion. They'd been left behind quite a while ago...
