"But you probably didn't know that some virus monster was wiping out the supports in there while you fought," Adam said, "Had you continued, you'd have been flattened. Because the supports were destroyed was why I started searching to see if anyone else was in there, so I could get them out."

"Trying to be noble?" Areni remarked. "Well, however noble that was, it wasn't very smart of you to get involved in my fight." She said, then turned around again and walked further, down the hill, towards Newdam.

"Does it look like I care? So they were strong, big deal. No one is invincible," Adam said, following her, "You certainly proved that with Kuro."

"I needed my father's help for that, as well as one hundred clones of his and Teddy, and even then it took two hours." She replied. "The others took longer, though, five, one of them seven, I believe, and some of them died." She looked back. "So the two of us would certainly haven't beaten them. I was only there to prevent the resurrection of one of them, but I was too late. Got lost in the tunnels." She uttered the last thing in frustration.

"I figured," Adam said dryly, "But I never figured you would say something as incredibly stupid as that."

"Look," Areni said, "if you want to, we can go back and fight them again. Just don't be surprised if I end up saving your ass, or the both of us ending up dead."

"Oh no, that's not what I was talking about," Adam said coldly. "What was stupid you saying that we couldn't have won the battle. It's called a self-fulfilling prophecy, girl. If you think something can't be done, and act like it can't be done, then you're just setting yourself up for the fall. Act like you can accomplish something, and chances are you'll amaze even yourself."
Adam stepped past the girl. "You proved that with Kuro. It might've taken about a hundred and one extras to take him down, but you believed you could win, and you did. So stop spouting this bullshit about how we would've lost. We still might've, but we still had a chance. Act like it's hopeless, and it really would be hopeless."

Areni surprised herself by chuckling a little, then starting to laugh. It lasted for about four seconds, before she stopped and started walking beside Adam. "You know, you're right on the part that without faith, you can't get anywhere." Looking sideways at him, she continued. "But you were wrong on the part that I didn't have faith."

"I'd certainly hope I was," Adam responded.

Areni just smiled. They had now nearly reached the outer borders of the city. She hoped the S.S. Calmwaters was in the city, otherwise they'd have to fly... No, bad thoughts! Mustn't have bad thoughts! She thought to herself.
"So... are you a man of faith?" She asked Adam, meaning if he was religious.

"Perhaps," Adam said noncommitally. He wasn't comfortable with such subjects, it seemed.

"Hmm-hmmm." Areni muttered. "Guess you don't want to talk about it. Alright then, I respect that."

"So what's the deal with this ceremony happening at the Core?" Adam asked.

"Paying respect to those who've died, appointing new Staff members, celebrating victory over five of the Nine Sons of Darkness, etcetera..." Areni said casually, though she clearly found it to be kinda useless.

"So, basically they're doing nothing but wasting time," Adam said.
