[And on the whole, he really was. If the real Fon Master was there, then... that meant he wouldn't have to die, right? The Score may have dictated his death, but Luceti was different! Even the possibility that he was still ill now from the disease that had been incurable on Auldrant... who's to say it was incurable here? Certainly of all the worlds represented in this little village, there could be someone somewhere who could do something...!]

He had to, otherwise creating replicas would have been a problem... which meant clearly he must have no idea what Van's real intentions were!]
[...what should he say? Would it be wise to warn him here, with Sync only inches away? No. Not here. And certainly not now, when his mind was still feeling foggy from the Malnosso's drugs.]
Oh... so you've already met with Arietta? That's... good. I'm glad she was able to find you.
