Blinky froze in shock.
Ves made a belated realization.
He intended to solve the conflict between Rosa Orfan and the Prophet's Bane. Even if it was far too difficult to find a permanent resolution, he should at least be able to cobble together a compromise that would let them set aside their differences for a short amount of time.
Yet before he could intervene and negotiate a temporary settlement, he was suddenly confronted by a rebellion from the current controller of his true body!
Ves found it ironic that he was confronted by the same kind of problem, only this time it affected him directly.
Now that he thought about it, his issue with the Dark Apostle was far too similar to the ongoing conflict between Saint Orfan and her hostile D-mech.
In both cases, two separate individuals were forced to share the same vessel. No matter whether it was metallic or organic in construction, the fundamental problem was essentially the same.
