[Jusis listens to what Jun has to say without interruption, not at all surprised to see that his guess is spot-on. He's heard most of this from Ash already, but it's not as if the teen knows that. After a moment, the blond is quiet as he thinks.]

Ash... told me about what happened to him not all that long ago. He asked me to promise him that I would hold him back if he started to go too far. But you're right that he chose to fight for his survival.

[He sighs softly.]

And I don't think he left it behind, either. However... since coming here, he's changed for the better. The side-effect being that while he's finally starting to lay down his roots and take steps to move forward, he's running up against his contract price.

[The blond reaches into his pocket and turns off his phone completely. Then, he gets up to get a piece of paper and a pen, writing something down before sliding it over to Jun for him to read. It says: I want him out of the Order. If Jun looks at Jusis, he'll see the blond shake his head. He can't speak this out loud and can't go into further detail, but it's the sincerest truth.]

I'll keep looking into possible avenues. However, if it all comes to a head, I only ask that you be ready. We're going to need all the help we can get to save him from that spirit.
