[the ticketmaster is currently always at her ticketmaster booth near the limelight stage.

Some days she might not be in but it doesn't hurt to check.]

[ticketmaster]

No. Because that means you were fated to be burned and forgotten instead.

But I like to see people try to defy fate anyway. Or maybe it's more like . . . I enjoy watching people choose to go down the path even though they know what's there at the end.

[bondsofsuffering]

[...Oh.]

-Then, what about your own story?

[ticketmaster]

There is no end to it.

[bondsofsuffering]

No end...? What do you mean?

[ticketmaster]

There is no end.

[bondsofsuffering]

...And you want one?

[ticketmaster]

Correct. I want there to be an end.

[bondsofsuffering]

Do you mean it as in you would like to one day be able to die, or that you want to die as soon as possible?

[bondsofsuffering]

[Waits.]

[ticketmaster]

[Just stays there smiling!]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Sighs.]

The info you give out comes so slowlyyyy.

[It's not a very serious whine though.]

[ticketmaster]

That's like final chapter answer~

But maybe I could give you something else.

[bondsofsuffering]

Oh? Such as?

[ticketmaster]

...

I did say Storyteller wasn't really mine, right? Do you know who it is?

[bondsofsuffering]

...I used to think the Showmaster, but now I'm not so certain.

Who is it...?

[ticketmaster]

I'd say there is at least one other key figure.

[bondsofsuffering]

...

The Devourer?

[ticketmaster]

Yes.

[bondsofsuffering]

...Can you tell me anything about him? Or is that the limit?

[ticketmaster]

The Devourer is called that because they believed the ocean eats memories, but obviously they have no problem returning them. The Devourer is alive. The Devourer and I are connected. The Devourer and the Showmaster are also connected.

[bondsofsuffering]

...

How are you connected to the Devourer?

[ticketmaster]

An investment of some sort, I suppose?

[bondsofsuffering]

Did you strike up a deal with each other?

[ticketmaster]

A deal? ...You can say that.

...

Maybe a promise.
