[ Lucy's definitely getting that paper mache lion from him later. She can display it in her apartment somewhere. It'd be cute. Maybe she can start... having things again. Personal items. Making her apartment into a home rather than just the place she sleeps.

She eyes Gilgamesh's map, nods, and starts making her way toward where the Gridmaster is. He'd said something about digital Echoes being vital for fighting the Phantom Cipher, and Lucy was intrigued enough by the concept that she's willing to give it a go. ]

Yeah. There's a lot we're not being told. I'm sure there's conflicts all over the fucking place; ideals of cooperation only go so far. Some people just aren't built to work with others.

[ Like the Phantom Cipher, maybe. Lucy can't say she disagrees with some of his stated missions. The shit about stealing that AI away from corpos? Shit, she'd let him have it if it were up to her. But these disruptions, letting the Fractured loose on the streets to possibly hurt innocent people... ]

If you defied the gods and brought about an end to their reign, you shouldn't have too much trouble with any corrupt elements here, right?

[ Lucy shoots him a smirk. ]
