Sometimes all it takes is a friend to encourage you along to a brighter path. He sounds like a good friend - I'm not surprised you miss him.

[ a hum. ]

You played Vanguard together? What is that?

[clockpunk]

He was on a solo hiking trip last time we spoke. I guess... he'll come back to some news, huh?

[ tries to say this lightly, and almost succeeds. ]

Ah, Vanguard's the card game we play. The deck I have with me, it's for that. It's part of the connection to Cray, but for most people, it's just a card game.

[ a huff, at the first bit, that's a little sad. yeah... he sure will. ]

A card game that gives you the ability to travel between worlds? Fascinating. [ this is 100% genuine he's like O: ] How did you figure out it could do that?

[ i guess this is one way to distract him from how horrible trial was ]

[clockpunk]

[ we're moving on from that, though chrono dwells on it for a moment longer with a sad, tight-eyed smile. ]

Ah, it's not quite like that. Vanguard kind of is just a card game, but there's like... for some of us, a link between us and one of the people from Cray, who are represented through our cards. And... that's kind of my fault? [ pauses. ] My memory's not great since I was really little when it happened, and I'm not good at explaining it anyway, sorry.

That's a good enough description, don't you worry. [ a head tilt. ] Interesting. So... perhaps a little like a bond more than travel.

I've never heard of anything like that.
