And you fixed that by yourself? You're impressive, all right.

[stillnot]

Believe me, I'd love to take the credit.

But it was just because my team came in first in the last place like this.

[ercnerd]

First . . . ? So you're saying that your prize for winning something was a wish?

[stillnot]

Yeah. So I wished away the monsters.

[ercnerd]

At the school, everyone who graduated received a wish while the winning dorm got an additional prize. Doesn't that feel kind of unfair?

[stillnot]

I don't think anyone who gets a wish can complain.

[ercnerd]

That's what I'm saying. Everyone from Wiwaldi received a wish, but only your team got them in the simulation. What did the rest of the teams get?

[stillnot]

The ability to go between worlds, I guess?

Not like I can do anything about it.

[ercnerd]

. . . So the walkers are gone. What's next?

[stillnot]

I don't know.

I wanted to try to make something with what we have. And a little help from the outside, too - no point in wasting it.

[ but that's, uh. past tense. hrm. ]

[ercnerd]

[Past tense.]

It's not a bad want. What changed?

[stillnot]

AJ got taken away from me again, here.

I can't keep doing this. Or - if I'm going to keep doing this, since apparently it can happen over and over, I need to know there's nothing else putting him in danger.

[ercnerd]

[He nods.]

These things get tiresome the first time around. Are you going to seek the others out?

[stillnot]

The others?

[ercnerd]

You know—other places like these.

[stillnot]

Absolutely not. I want as far away from this kind of thing as possible.

[ercnerd]

So you're going to plot for distance? I suppose that's as good a plan as any . . .
