Dabus let out a deep sigh and shook his head, saying, "Actually, this whole thing is just a misunderstanding. If we could clear it up, things would be much easier. The trouble is that Aliang keeps his friend access turned off; otherwise, this wouldn't have been so complicated."

"Little Night Song already told Ya Ya and me about your situation yesterday."
The Old Mage stroked his beard, his face wrinkling as he smiled. "To be honest, in all my years, I've never heard of the concept of 'Otherworlders.' But you don't have to overthink it.

A few more or fewer of you doesn't make much difference."
"Sorry for keeping it from you all this time."
