Welcome back to the Xenoblade Heart to Hearts series! Today, we start our next location in the game. And this time, we're venturing to Sharla's home, Colony 6! One thing to note before we begin, there will be a prerequisite for every one of these Heart to Hearts, and it's all going to be Reconstruction Progress based. Now, as usual, we start with Spyro and Cynder having their chat at the location. So let's not waste a moment! Here we go!
Heart to Heart 30: Starting Anew
Participants: Spyro and Cynder
Location: Reconstruction HQ
Affinity: Green
Prerequisite: All Reconstruction Categories at Level 1
Introduction
Spyro: Whoa. The Mechon did quite a number on this place.
Cynder: (Sighs) Seems to be a sign of our times.
Spyro: (Having heard that, but not really) Wait what?
Pass/Pass
Cynder: Okay, his hearing's better than I expected. Just an observation.
Spyro: An observation of...?
Cynder: It seems everywhere we go, we find cities shattered by enemy forces, or at least in the process of being.
Spyro: I'm not so sure I can call that a pattern. We've encountered three places like this so far, and only Warfang and Colony 6 were like this. Colony 9 was fine when we arrived.
Cynder: And then the Mechon raided the place shortly after we arrived.
Spyro: You can't honestly think that we're somehow responsible for that. Do you?
Cynder: Can you blame me, honestly? Even before I worked with you, I saw so many cities fall as Terror of the Skies.
Spyro: Cynder, this is different. Warfang was under siege before we even got there, and we couldn't have known about the Mechon attacking Colony 9. What's going on? You're being awfully cynical today.
Cynder: I guess seeing Colony 6 in ruins sparked some primal negativity in me.
Spyro: I'm not sure if this helps, but if it does, this time, we're going to be part of the force rebuilding that which was destroyed.
Cynder: That... does honestly make me feel a little better.

Cynder: And then the Mechon raided the place shortly after we arrived.
Spyro: You can't honestly think that we're somehow responsible for that. Do you?
Cynder: I'm just calling them as I see them, Spyro.
Spyro: I can see that. But the logic behind it is flawed.
Cynder: How so?
Spyro: Us being there when these cities were under siege was a correlation, not a causation. Just because we were there, doesn't mean we caused it.
Cynder: That's a fair point. Guess I was just feeling a little more cynical than usual these days. But, let's hope getting Colony 6 back on its feet will help fix that.
Spyro: I'm with you on that.
(Net Affinity: 0)
Fail/Pass
Cynder: Nothing. I don't want him to deal with this.
Spyro: Cynder... you know you can be honest with me, right?
Cynder: Of course.
Spyro: Then... why aren't you?
Cynder: Damn he's good at reading me. (Sighs) Just calling it like it see it.
Spyro: Wait, you actually think we're responsible for those cities getting sieged?
Cynder: Or at least that we draw some kind of challenge by being there.
Spyro: We weren't even in Warfang when Malefor's forces started sieging it. And the Mechon couldn't possibly have known we were important when Colony 9 was attacked. There's no way we were in any way responsible for those sieges.
Cynder: (Thinks over the logic a bit) You... have a point.
Spyro: Thanks. Now what do you say we start rebuilding Colony 6?
Cynder: Sounds good to me.

Fail/Fail
Cynder: Nothing. I don't want him to deal with this.
Spyro: Cynder... you know you can be honest with me, right?
Cynder: Of course.
Spyro: Then... why aren't you?
Cynder: I am.
Spyro: (Feeling disappointed) I'll... buy that. For now. Let's... focus on the Colony for now. Maybe that'll clear our heads.
Cynder: I can sense the disappointment in his voice. I should've just told him. What was I thinking?!
