Thanks for the help. Things would've been pretty
[cdb]hairy with just the four of us.
I mean, we've got this guy pulling bounty hunters in
[cdb]from across the continent...
Hey!
And this gal summoning monsters...
Not my fault. Also totally necessary.
And finally, the grand sorceress who rained pain
[cdb]down on friend and foe alike.
Even your condemnation is far too kind. I was of
[cdb]no help whatsoever.
Stick up for them.
Pile on!
Hey, everyone did what they could, and we all had a
[cdb]hand in the victory.

Yeah, it worked out in the end, so buck up!
Yuri's right—this is one battle I hope they scrub from
[cdb]the history books.

It was nice to blow off some steam, at any rate.
And I'm certain my other self was pleased to do more
[cdb]field tests with the new spell.
Though at the expense of my complete and
[cdb]utter mortification...
Well, I've still got my complaints, but I suppose I
[cdb]gained something from this, too.
Oh yeah? What's that?
Oh yeah? What's that?
I went ahead and hired the folks we saved. I made it
[cdb]look like I was doing them a favor, and those in debt
[cdb]never seem to ask questions of their saviors.
I'd been feeling a bit short-handed anyway, so it all
[cdb]worked out! Haha!
You're always looking for an angle, Yuri. That's the
[cdb]one thing about you that never changes.
What do you mean, "the one thing"? What are you
[cdb]trying to say? What else changed?
You know! The...uhhh... Actually, you know what?
Maybe I'm wrong.
Oh, so now I haven't changed? Do you even know
[cdb]what you're saying, or are words just falling out of
[cdb]your mouth faster than your brain can make them?
Pretty much, yeah. Clearly B hasn't changed either.
Well, I have certainly changed. Alas, I have lost all of
[cdb]my hopes and dreams...
Are you kidding? That is a hundred percent you.
Laugh in a friendly way.
Watch silently.
Hahaha! You four really are old friends.
Hahaha! You four really are old friends.
We're quite the quartet, all right. But hey, why don't
[cdb]you make it a quintet?
...
...
Don't act like you're not part of this—you're one of
[cdb]us now, whether you like it or not.
Plus, I could use some help babysitting this lot.
They call us the Abyssal Four, but now that we're
[cdb]five, we'll have to change that name...
Pssst! Constance! Did anyone ever call us that?
It's hard to say. Sadly, my feeble memory has all but
[cdb]wasted away.
We were probably called that? I mean, it's not like
Yuri-bird to just make things up.
Hey, what's with you guys? Do you want to be part of
[cdb]this group or not?
Bah. And here I was thinking we'd all go out and
[cdb]celebrate our victory...
I guess it's just gonna be the two of us, friend.
Uh...sure, I guess?
Uh...sure, I guess?
No fair. It should at least be the three of us.
Hey, if you're paying, you know I'm in.
Also, you're right. I think we were called the Abyssal
Four at...some point.
Wherever you lead, dear Yuri, I shall follow,
[cdb]for I have no desires of my own.
I will happily feast upon whatever meager morsels
[cdb]you see fit to scatter before me.
