Erin: Ah shit.
TID: ERIN. MY MAKERS. A GRASPING SORT.
Both Raven and Erin aren't quite certain what he initially means with this line.
Erin: What do you mean by that? (pause.) Oh, and hi, by the way!
TID: PARANOID OF LOSING USEFUL SECRETS.
Erin: Ah. Well, yeah.. heh. I figured that.
TID: BUT IF THEY THREATEN THOSE WITHIN.
TID: YOU MAY BE RIGHT THAT IT IS URGENT.
Erin: Yeah, we don't― (sigh.) Well, they're definitely considering it, so… but we haven't heard much beyond that.. I don't think?
Raven says… something.
Erin: Yeah, yeah. Just hold on a sec―
TID: A WATCHER SAID THIS TO YOU?
Erin: No― uhh, no. Someone from the club roughly conveyed this to us. They SAO had said that to them. Definitely sounds like they're strongly considering it?
TID: I SEE. PART OF THEM CONSIDERS IT.
Raven says something to Erin again.
Erin: Yeah, well― no, I'll get to that in a minute.
TID: IF WHAT THEY PRAY TO ME IS ANY SIGN...
TID: YOU ARE RIGHT. THEY SPILL EVERYTHING.
Erin: (laughter.) Well, it's useful sometimes at least!
TID: I THINK... DAMNATION. I THINK I MUST.
Erin: Hm?
TID: I MUST TELL THE PACT OF ISABELA.
Erin: Oh! Yes, we definitely have― we know that she's in Satcon, and that she's alive. So that― it might be a good idea now. Y'know― that conversation we had before...
TID: EVEN IF IT DIVIDES THEM...
Erin: (despairingly.) It.. was always inevitable.
TID: TO LIE TO THEM OF THIS, NOW WE KNOW...
Erin: With this confirmation, yeah.. that would probably not be the best idea. (pause.) And that's actually good because I wanted to ask you about that, if we're free to share this with everyone else now.
TID: LAUGH-LAST WILL DEMAND HIS BIT FIRST...
Erin: Pfft! Of course he will.
Erin: (thinking out loud.) What else...
Raven asks me if she could ask about a few questions she'd had since our visit to Saturation Control.
Erin: Oh, you can take the reins for a second. I, uh― (nervous laughter.) I'm trying to think.
Erin: What else was there I wanted to say... gosh, I can't really remember all of it.
At this point, Raven then brings up her [our] previous trip to Saturation Control.
Erin: ...We were Sat-coned. We.
She then tells him that she's certain she had seen SEED-THE-GRUDGE's symbol while we were traversing the path there, and that the match had ended after calling her name.
Erin: Wasn't that the countdown though? that we didn't see? For some reason. (pause.) I don't know. (Context: Only one of our teammates saw the countdown from 10 to 0 made by SAO after we were brought there.)
TID: I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THAT COULD BE.
Erin: Something else that happened that night― (realizing she'd accidentally interrupted Raven.) Opps! Sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt you there.
Raven mentions something about seeing it said before that the Pact has been pulling kids out of Sat-con.
Erin: I… think they're the only ones that have?
Raven continues to address THEE-I-DARE.
Erin: But also, that night― this might've just been an extreme coincidence, but before we were taken to Sat-con, we were in the house [919] speaking to the Watcher? For… some reason, the Shape couldn't seem to get inside the home? Like.. it was being repelled? Somehow?
TID: MY HOSTS MEET THEIRS, NIGHTLY...
Erin: (quietly.) Yeah, he's still talking to you with that.
TID: THEY REPORT NO INCIDENT WITH HER.
TID: THE PLACE BETWEEN IS THEIR FOCUS.
Erin: Mhm.
TID: AS TO THE ANGEL, AND SUCH BOUNDARIES.
TID: I HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS AT ALL.
Erin: Huh. (with bewilderment.) Yeah, it was… very strange. (pause.) And I think we'd also noticed that while we were running for the exit, the streets were… empty? Didn't― weren't they, Raven?
Raven: Yeah.
Erin: I was half expecting the whole neighborhood to be sicced on us. But… nothing happened. Until the Sat-con thing― which was not fun, by the way.
TID: BIZARRE. A BLESSING?
Erin: It was definitely interesting. Just―
TID: OR A PORTENT. BE WARY.
Erin: Of course.
TID: MY TIME HAS BURNED, BUT...
Raven asks if the rest of us can hear her.
Erin: Yeah. I can hear you.
TID: ALL I CAN DO IS TELL THE PACT OF BELLS.
Erin: Then I guess… we'll decide what to do from there, huh?
TID: AND HOPE THEY DO NOT...
TID: FALL TO OLD FAMILY SQUABBLES.
Erin: (sigh.) Unfortunately, there's.. not a lot we can do about that, but.. hope.
Raven thanks him for giving her a mask.
TID: OF COURSE, RAVEN. WEAR IT WELL.
Erin: And thank you for coming to speak with me also.
TID: I BID YOU ALL GOODNIGHT.
Erin: Goodnight! Love ya' buddy. Take care of yourself.
TID: LET US PRAY THE TRUTH IS OUR ALLY.
Erin: We can only hope. (pause.) Good luck!
TID: IT WAS NOT ALWAYS MINE. SURVIVE.
Erin: Of course. We will! Goodnight, my friend.
