[Wow, those dreams sure were trippy. Let's talk about that.]

[moves in and grabs his hands.

What happen?]

[verypointed]

[I guess we are going from glowing to not... glowing. And he's staring at you.]

What are you doing?

[fulltimeheroine]

Stopping you from using your ability.

The same way I did to Hisoka-dono.

[verypointed]

[Give me a moment to think this through]

[fulltimeheroine]

[Sits back quietly until he can process it]

[verypointed]

This... is an intrinsic ability of yours?

[fulltimeheroine]

Yes. It has greater range if I concentrate, but it still requires touch, and I run the risk of losing power afterwards.

The backlash is a bother.

[verypointed]

Please explain... as much as you can, if possible.

What happened during the fight with Hisoka?

[fulltimeheroine]

Nothing unusual, really.

Hisoka-dono had concealed his presence and approached Yuri-dono, knowing full well that I was there and without giving me much time to react. They were talking... Hisoka-dono said something about things tasting "so good when [Yuri-dono's] lies are destroyed," and then they said things that were too soft for me to hear. Then Hisoka-dono asked Yuri-dono to punish him and also instructed me to come out.

I initiated the attack. Yuri-dono escaped, and Hisoka-dono and I engaged in hand-to-hand combat. I had asked Hisoka-dono how many people he had killed in camp, and he mentioned double digits. Then he... stopped talking. After exchanging more blows, I tried to run to the hospital, and ended up in this state.

[verypointed]

Even with his powers nullified?

[fulltimeheroine]

Mm. He is exceptionally skilled.

[verypointed]

I see. I wouldn't have expected anything less.

[fulltimeheroine]

Do you intend on fighting him yourself?

[verypointed]

... We've fought before.

[fulltimeheroine]

May I ask how that ended?

[verypointed]

Not well.

[makes a face]

I chose to retreat, seeing as I was unaware of the extent of his abilities.

[fulltimeheroine]

But were you able to retreat?

Given his ability, sometimes that is not an option. As I understand it.

[verypointed]

Perhaps he let me go, seeing I wasn't much of a challenge.

[fulltimeheroine]

[Thinking time!]

But if he let you go, then he should have done the same for Yuri-dono... correct?

[verypointed]

Mr. Petrov thinks it involves the red thread events.

[fulltimeheroine]

Which would have made sense if they were still ongoing.

They have been over for a while. With someone like Hisoka-dono, who will not even bother to remember the face or name of someone who is not strong enough to fight him... The scenario does not add up.

[verypointed]

But at the same time, if he is truly Lunatic, Lunatic didn't make his public face known until months after he arrived at camp.

[fulltimeheroine]

Even so, Lunatic would still have to be a person that came from your world.

And while it might be easy enough to copy a costume, voice and mannerisms, to copy an ability and use it in the same fashion would be...

[verypointed]

Impossible.

[fulltimeheroine]

Well, copying a skill is probably not impossible, but the combination of all those factors is highly unlikely.

The last thing I want to do is think ill of another person and cast suspicion on them, but would any other conclusion make sense?
