The Guild Master opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He seemed too speechless to know what to say.
Eventually, his gaze moved towards the man with silver-rimmed glasses, who looked as though he had quite a few things to say. After staring at him for a moment, the Guild Master shook his head and turned back towards the projection.
"As I was saying…"
Oh.
He was actually continuing.
I settled into my chair, rather pleased with how things had turned out.
"The woman inflicts her own pain onto others. She isn't controlling them. The movements you saw were their reactions to what they were experiencing."
He changed the image, bringing up another section of the hall.
"When she hurts herself, someone else suffers the same thing. That's why taking their weapons away didn't help."
I whistled.
"…That's interesting."
No, really.
It was really interesting.
