Lucidstuck II

>Lucia: there's no need for a rash decision. It's possible Narren is telling the truth as far as she knows it. It's not impossible for her herself to have been misled by the Unknown Entity or anyone else, and your goals remain the same no matter what. Keep a cool head, there's no need for you to make a decision right now, just be on guard

Lucia: ... Narren.
Narren: Y-yes, Maid??
Lucia: I was going to banish you.
Narren: !!!
Lucia: But, that seems a bit harsh don't you think?
Reggie: Banish? Dude, you can't just do that all on your own. We should hold council.
Lucia: I WAS going to, but I'm not...
Lucia: See, my problem is that if I have a bad feeling about something or someone, it doesn't go away until I act directly on it.
Lucia: But you guys have been the exception...
Lucia: And when Reggie comes in here and tells me he doesn't know what you're talking about, I just...
Lucia: It's a loose end, y'know? What if something bad comes of this because I let it slide.
Narren: ........
Lucia: No, I'm not calling you a liar. You seem to believe what it is you're telling me.
Lucia: But I know Reggie knows best.
Narren: Reggie is a liar! He knows what I know because the leader told us!!
Narren: He was there!
Reggie: Tread lightly, kiddo. I don't appreciate your accusations.
Lucia: Reggie, is this true?
Reggie: .....
Lucia: Are there really two constructs?
Reggie: -sigh- Fuck it.
Reggie: Yeah there's two.
Narren: HA! I TOLD YOU!
Lucia: Reggie, what the fuck...
Reggie: You said it yourself, I know best.
Reggie: Thing is, I can't lie to my girl twice in a row like that, so... There you have it.
Lucia: What is really going on here?
Narren: Reggie... Don't.
Lucia: Narren!
Reggie: She's right, Goth chick. I really can't tell you for everyone's sake.
Reggie: All you need to know is what you already know.
Reggie: It's bad enough you know the construct exists at all. But as the saying goes, "The truth will set you free".
Reggie: In this case, quite literally.
Reggie: The construct banks on the fact that you don't know it's not reality.
Reggie: It's like knowing the punchline to a really funny joke. It's just not funny anymore, right?
Reggie: Same thing here. If you know the truth, the only one left to hold it together is Derrick.
Reggie: And he is so lost in denial that he will fight to protect that this is his reality as long as he's his dumb old self...
Reggie: But there has been a development.
Lucia: What?
Reggie: He's able to interact with his inner self. The part that knows the truth.
Reggie: If left to that alone, this place is as good as doomed.
Reggie: So do you see why you're our last line of defense? You're the only one who doesn't really know the whole picture.
Reggie: So just... Hold on a little longer, kay?
Lucia: .......

It seems Narren was telling you the truth after all and Reggie lied to you to protect you. You feel sick ever thinking that Narren would maliciously try to deceive you.
