"The Calamity of this Floor has been here since we have had memory," Ferleen said, sharing drinks with Maria as his party and hers celebrated alongside the Zodiacrons. "It was never truly defeated, and it was always said the machine people of this floor were in a constant war against it."
"We… just took it for granted and never really considered what was actually happening…" Melianna said. "Well! Why would we, anyway? This isn't our world in the end. I just don't understand why you would invest so much time and effort into helping these people."
"Well, I had the power, so I used it," Maria said, shrugging. "I understand that those without power might not act, and I wouldn't have if I didn't have the strength."
"A-Are you calling us weaklings?!" Melianna roared, baring her sharp teeth at Maria.
"As one of our Ancient Heroes once said, you must be strong to be kind," Vyperion commented from the side.
"I agree. It fits them perfectly," Quick Hare nodded.
