Hey there, everyone. Nice to talk to you in person - my name is Cipher, welcome to my city. Sorry I took so long to show up in person. No need to get up on my account - how about we talk business?

...I'm sorry, ma'am, but you cannot tell me that there's a circumstance in which I would actually be good for anything like this.

[Brett - who was literally thinking the exact same thing and we can all see it on his face and also he was talking about it like twenty in-universe minutes ago - immediately becomes a hypocrite!]

Forrest, come on. You're incredibly accomplished already, in multiple fields. I'm sure you're only going to get better.

[Brett opens his mouth like he's about to have a long retort - but he's rarely one to just blurt stuff out without consideration, so all he ends up saying is:]

This isn't about me.

I'm not saying I have no skills at all, Brett. I'm saying that in this specific circumstance I can't really see myself bringing much to the table. I'm a cleric from a thousand years ago who likes fashion.

That didn't stop you from figuring out like, half the cases here.

[Probably an exaggeration if we were to stop and look at the numbers, but it sure feels that way. Forrest's got some killer (ha) instincts!]

You're smart and you have good instincts. Adapting to this time period's just a matter of experience.

I'm still not following. As Mafuyu said, it seems like a lot of effort for something that doesn't benefit you in any way.

You don't sound all that enthused about it.

[...]

Why did you bring us here? It seems you were planning for a confrontation even before we went through your things, so what are you hoping to accomplish here?

So things were going to come to an end anyway, and you'd prefer to end it on your own terms.

[...Well, he supposes he can understand that.]

Very well. I appreciate the answers, at least.

The legacy of… what, exactly? A city of the dead malms beneath the ocean? That is far too florid a title for such a thing.
