"So, Pandora, how was the hunt?" I ask Pandora, who's already back. She's covered in blood.
"Not bad, I guess, but unfortunately, monsters are more like animals, so their reactions to death are pretty primitive and predictable. Not like the mortal races, who can come up with crazy ideas," Pandora says with a shrug.
"Hmm, why are you back early?"
"I finished modifying my universe. While I was hunting, I put the finishing touches on the... how should I put it..."
"You don't have to be so cautious. I understand what you mean, and it's not your fault, or your little universe's." Obviously, it would be destroyed if I entered it without the proper modifications.
"Do you want to go now? We're already linked anyway. Once we enter, you'll probably have a good chance of being free from your fusion with the Abyss... by the way, what was that trick you were going to teach me?"
