Mortis had already expected something like this, but he still became nervous when he heard the words.
Break up with Joyce.
It sounded like the right decision, but for some reason, Mortis didn't want to.
Mortis had seen Joyce's Emotional Laws.
He knew that she could recover.
He knew that there was a good core inside of her.
He only had to find a way to make that core resurface.
"You saw her Emotional Laws," Mortis said to Gravis and Arc. "You know that there is a good core inside of her. You know that she is actually a good person. The way she acts, this isn't her."
Arc and Gravis nodded. "You're right," Gravis said. "There is a genuinely good core inside of her, but that core is suppressed under an avalanche of murky chaos."
"Yes, so we should search for a method to help her return to her true self," Mortis said.
Gravis sighed.
