Stag raised her hand, huffing three times again, making Zinnia more confused. "You will help us help you," Rhapsody informed, arms folded. "We all want the same. This world will fall once we pluck Alton Brantley and kill him once and for all."

Zinnia's heart skipped a beat as she turned to them, startled with a whisper. "Kill?"

Rhapsody turned to Stag, nodding. "Is there a problem with that? That is why you're here, is it not?"

"I'm not here to kill Alton! I want to save him." Zinnia snapped back.

"What differences does it make?" Tempo questioned, shrugging his shoulders. "Killing or saving, it's all the same thing."

"He's still my friend! I won't just accept this and help you kill anyone who can be saved. I turned my back on Alton once before; I'm never doing that again."
