I have something to tell you all, and some of you might not believe me.

[Valdis' voice is hesitant, halting and uncertain]

There are very few of us left, it seems, who remember Malicant's reign or the atrocities committed by his followers. The death, the taint, the drugs and the suffering inflicted upon foreigner and Kedan alike is unknown to all of our newcomers. But this isn't just about that.

[A long pause, followed by an audible breath]

I have recently discovered that Milyn, the Cherrywood Healer, was involved with the Cultists. She reported directly to Daseng and created the drug known as Dust, as well as the base for Lucid.

[Another pause and then a low growl.]

She was our only ally among the Kedan when we first returned from the Dreaming, she aided us in defeating Malicant...but she also helped him wreak his havoc in the first place.

[Another growl]

I don't know about all of you, but I can't trust her anymore.

[There's a muttering of German. It's hard to distinguish because Klaus has pulled away from the radio briefly so as not to offend, but there is a certain universal tone all swearing shares.]

Zanru is another name I've heard but I have no context for. If I may bother you to enlighten me a second time...?

Zanru was the former head of the Metalworkers and also Xuiyu's cousin.

[He knew he'd heard the name before.]

Thank you.

If I may, Valdis, you have been here much longer. I imagine this has affected you quite deeply. If there is any help I can lend you, please, let me know.

Thank you, Klaus.

You're most welcome, Miss Valdis.

I hope things will get better.
