I have been informed by my siblings what has occurred in my absence from Hadriel. I am Confusion, and you are our new citizens for the time being.

I would strongly recommend that you do not go into the tunnels. They are there for protection, not recreation. However, since apparently you can't be trusted to listen to warnings, by tomorrow all of your communication devices that Hope has provided you with should be updated to include navigational assistance.

I would appreciate it if you took detailed notes regarding any malfunctions that occur while in the caves should you survive the incident.

[ Oh, wow. She's... very beautiful. ]

What are the tunnels protecting us from? Besides the monsters, that is. Or is that all?

Also, thank you for the GPS!
It'll definitely come in handy.

The monsters are what you should be worrying about. That and getting lost and dying from dehydration, apparently your species is stupidly susceptible to that.

Woah, hold up, MY species is made of tougher stuff than humans. Which I'm sure is what you meant.

But what kind of a monsters we talking about here?

[ Because as someone thought of as a monster by most people, she's... a little touchy to that terminology. ]

Nonsentients.

Wait.
The monsters in the tunnels aren't... sentient?

[ She's pretty sure they're aware of their surroundings, at the very least. ]

Not in the sense that you and those living in the city are. They can't be prompted to feel emotions the way you can. That's why they're pushed out and you get to stay. So all of you in the city are basically the same as far as we're concerned.

[ She's sure they feel pain when they're murdered, but that's... not something Rose is going to get into. It's a touchy subject with even touchier underlying complicated feelings of being labeled as a 'monster' almost her whole life. ]

Well don't I feel fancy.
Okay, well, that's all I really needed to know.

Welcome back, Confusion.

Thanks. It's super awesome already.

[Unlike the other gods, sarcasm comes easy to this one.]
