Derrick: Tell him that once Emily is stronger she'll have ways of sending him to a better place, then let Mephita chime in. Let him know that together you all can make Lomam better, and that it doesn't have to be a horrible place



Before your eyes and translucent boy in pajamas enters your view.

Derrick: ... I have a friend named Emily, she can help you.
Derrick: At some point Emily will get stronger and will be able to help more monsters that don't want to be here anymore.
Auros: And... What exact does "help" entail...?
Derrick: Uhm... I'm not exactly sure....
Auros: It's suspicious... Too good to be true.
Auros: What of you, miss?
Derrick: Mephita, how about you share your experiences?
Mephita: .... When I first came here, I was surrounded in darkness.
Mephita: Derrick, and some others were surrounded around me.
Mephita: I was a bit scared, honestly. But Derrick allowed me lodging in his own room.
Mephita: I am sick, you see... My coughs create poison that harms others...
Mephita: Derrick's friends knew this, and decided to solve my issue instead of evicting me.
Mephita: The kindness they've shown to a stranger like me really gives me hope that this place isn't as bad as it looks.
Auros: .....
Auros: Kindness, you say?
Auros: I've wandered this realm and have seen none of such things.
Auros: Only death and pain.
Auros: You'd do well to escape this place too.
Mephita: .... My only concern is to find my mother. She's the one who takes care of me.
Mephita: But... I have a feeling she may not be in this strange land...
Mephita: Though as long as I'm able to live here, I feel like it'll be okay.
Mephita: You threaten the life of Derrick, with no intention to learn more of this place.
Mephita: Shame on you.
Auros: ....!!
Auros: I'm... I'm sorry.
Auros: But I can't... I must leave...
Auros: I felt that this place was my way out.
Auros: And when seeing this boy, I knew his life must be traded for my freedom.
Auros: To escape from this place...
Mephita: .... Patience is a virtue.
Mephita: If you really believe this realm is a terrible place, stick around.
Mephita: Enjoy a conversation or two. -Cough-....
Auros: ...... I....
Auros: I haven't had such an experience yet....
Auros: I see no harm... For now.
Wynter: Incoming heals, Bro!

Derrick: Those people in black are reapers. Kids lost in this realm, and others that have banded together.
Derrick: They don't have to cower in fear if the next thing that lurks in the shadows because they're together. They keep each other safe.
Derrick: When you're alone, it's scary.
Derrick: You get desperate...
Derrick: But you'll see this place is not as bad as you think.
Derrick: ..... And if you still don't want to stay, then I'm sure Emily can help with that.
Mephita: Those were... reapers?
Mephita: The one's like me? Who lost their mothers?
Derrick: Yes, Mephita.
Derrick: Together we're like a family, we protect each other.
Derrick: Fear is not something that controls them.
Derrick: What do you think, Auros?
Auros: ......
Auros: Mephita, was it?
Mephita: Yes.
Auros: You're lost, like me.
Auros: But here you've found safety.
Auros: You don't know the horrors that walks the land outside.
Auros: But as he has said, there are more. Creatures like us that have found a calling.
Auros: Life in this dark land.
Auros: Fear exists anywhere... I'm afraid.
Auros: There is no proof that leaving this land will do me any better.
Auros: And with this hope you have shown me, how foolish it would be to ignore it...
Auros: I did mention I wished for another way.
Auros: I believe this could be it.
Derrick: So you'll leave me alone?
Auros: ......
Auros: Yes.
Auros: I only act this way because... I'm scared.
Auros: I'm lonely as well...
Auros: I don't want to die in this place...
Auros: Anything but that...

Auros has calmed down for now... You're extremely anxious as you didn't really think you'd be able to talk him down!
