So the fight starts again and Viktor finally makes a move with his fire spears. But...

Then to add a cheery on top of a Sunday of brutal defeat, a whole bunch more units show up to the south.

Apple says it is all her fault. Yeah...

So we lose.

Sounds good to me!

Jowy asks if I'm okay. I tell him I am.

Of course! So we head back through the fort, doing a few fights along the way. We see Flik and Viktor in the basement who tell me to get out and that they have a plan.

We get upstairs to an unfortunate sight.

He kills poor Pohl

Luca says Pilika is ruining his good time with her crying, so he turns his sword on her, too.

We don't hold out for long before he sends us backwards.

Jowy reaches his hand out and yells at Luca to Stop!!!! Luca laughs at him and mocks him and Jowy continuously yells STOP. Luca reassures us that he has sliced so many necks he could do it in his sleep. Well, I feel better now.

But before he can kill us, the room starts shaking and growing a dull red.

We escape and run on through the woods. We turn around to see this.

This is sadness.

Jowy asks Pilika how she's doing and all Pilika can say is eeee..... ooo.... etc.

Jowy is quite distraught over this and begs for Pilika to talk, to call him 'Uncle' again.

Jowy says he's sure I'm right and that she'll be fine. He then tells me we should head to Muse.

That's all for today! No recruits this time, sadly, but some good story.
