"I don't get it." Atari muttered.
"What is it that you don't get?" Zeno asked.
"You didn't leave the living room light on, I saw you turn it off. So, why did you say you left it on?""
"It was gettin kinda heated so it was the best thing ta do."
"Was the silence getting to you?"
"Nah, it was just, eh, forget it."
Gunvolt walked over to Atari as Zeno began to talk with Moniqa.
"He had an arguement with Copen about you." Gunvolt explained.
"I get that Copen's ideal's are wrong and his goal unatainable but there's no reason to start anything about it. Especially since it doesn't involve him." Atari commented.
"He knows that Copen hates Adepts and feels prejudice against them. That's not actually the main reason he hates them. Apparently Asimov killed his father and now he vows revenge against all Adepts. Xiao told him he could take down Asimov especially since he now sees Copen as a threat enough to send some Sumeragi members after him."
"Ya know Geeves, I've been meanin ta ask ya, how are ya takin it?" Zeno questioned.
Both Atari and Gunvolt slightly jumped since they didn't expect Zeno to stop talking with Moniqa.
"It's been hard, but I've been through worse." Gunvolt stated.
"Well it's nice ta know you're doin alright." Zeno smiled.
"Everything should be set to watch the movie by six."
"Awesome, we'll be there."
Zeno returned to conversing with Moniqa since he knew what Atari was going to ask and thought she deserved to know.
"So, what exactly was it about me that made Copen tick?" Atari pondered.
"Since you're half human and half Adept he considers you an abomination. He believes that Adepts are monsters and they all deserve to die. But he says killing a human is against his morals so he doesn't know what to do right now." Gunvolt explained.
"Oh, he wants to kill me? But what's the point if the Muse Septima won't seperate from my body even if something happens to me?"
"He just wants to kill you because you're an Adept. But that's true, since you have the Muse Septima he may want to try and extract it so Mytyl can obtain it and be healed."
Eek! I-is there any way to convince him none of his plans involving him killing me will work?"
"I've fought him before, and trust me; there's no way to get him to stop once he has his mind set on something."
Atari sighed.
"Maybe I should stay away from him. You could tell him I'm dead and the Muse Septima dissipated along with my life force!" Atari theorized.
"I'm not sure that would work..." Gunvolt doubted.
"But we haven't even tried it yet. Who knows? It just might work."
"I guess it's worth a shot. But you'd never be able to return to the sanatorium."
"I'd rather eat a moldy blueberry than go back there."
"Alright, Zeno will let you know if it works tomorrow. Although I'm a hundred percent certain he'll see right through it."
Atari couldn't hear Gunvolt however, as she was mentally cheering while skipping over to Zeno.
"Can we get some blueberries?" Atari hoped.
"I heard your conversation with Geeves. It's best someone stays with you just in case something happens again." Zeno stated.
Atari folded her arms and pouted the rest of the walk.
