You said it yourself, Barghest used that information to it's advantage, not yours.

[justfists]

... But wouldn't it be smart to second guess ever giving me any information?

[swordhandled]

Perhaps, I can assure you if Uncle Frederick were here, he and Gerome would be sure to keep both me and Cynthia away from you. But I still consider you one of my closest friends here.

[justfists]

Your Uncle would be right, Owain.

[she says that immediately.]

All the information I knew, even though I wanted to keep it secret, it got used. Worse, it could happen to me again, if we kill any of the monsters.

[swordhandled]

It took him years for him to trust Robin, there's a reason why Uncle Chrom always teased him by calling him "Frederick the Wary".

[ implied: owain called him the same thing ]

The same could be said about me, about Gerome, about any of us.

[justfists]

It could be, but we know I'm not strong enough to fight them off if they try to possess me.

[swordhandled]

--How strong was the Barghest, if you don't mind me asking?

[justfists]

[she stumbles on that one, actually.]

I... don't actually remember. I don't even remember the execution.

[swordhandled]

That's fine, don't worry yourself with it.

[justfists]

[she nods, and tucks a strand of hair behind her ears.]

R-right. I do remember most of, jut... not that.

[swordhandled]

It did quite a number on you, huh?

[justfists]

[she wouldn't say that, honestly.]

Owain... Listen. The Barghest, at least, wasn't a friend of the resort. If anything, he wanted to capture the Outsider because he was so good at evading it.

[she's not looking at him.]

It was a cruel, petty monster and it made the people it possessed think it was a god. I don't know if that applies to the other monsters, but I would be willing to bet it does.

The game is as much a way to get rid of them as to get rid of us.

[swordhandled]

[ owain is silently taking that in. that's... certainly some information that he was presented with. ]

The Barghest didn't care what happened to the Resort, so long as it got what it wanted?

[justfists]

No.

Can you imagine something that cruel caring about anything?

[she has scars on her cheek, paleness and frailty in her body. she just. doesn't feel like pointing it out.]

[swordhandled]

--No, you're right about that.

[justfists]

... I don't know about the other two. I. Really don't.

[swordhandled]

You've given more than enough, Makoto. Thank you.

[justfists]

[she nods.]

Alright.

[swordhandled]

I still mean, what I said before, Makoto.

I truly consider you one of my closest friends here.
