Dilemma Of The Strong

"... And that's why I think he's being honest."

Once Ater was done with his analysis, Rey found himself nearly dumbfounded by the intelligence that his Familiar displayed.

From a psychological analysis of Adrien, to the content of the letter, and the materials, age, and a host of other factors utilized in his detailed interrogation of the subject matter, it all led to Ater's fine conclusion.

"I see…"

In the end, it was no different from what [Clairvoyance] showed him.

'Should I have just asked Ater from the start rather than use [Clairvoyance]? No… no, this way is better.' Rey told himself.

He had become too reliant on Ater, and that was not a good thing. Plus, if Ater told him something that reinforced what he already knew to be true, then that meant he could rely on his words.

But what if he never checked? Then how would he know to rely on those words?

… Especially after The Oracle warned him.
