The hero Finn decided to investigate the suspicious activities of "Toybox" Corporation and the masked individuals—alone.

"Your Holiness, I’m going to gather information from the fixers I know. It’s dangerous to come along, so… please stay here. ‘Drunken Mama’ will take care of your meals."

Over two weeks, Finn had wandered through various parts of Omelas, forming loose connections with other fixers. He had managed to place one foot into their rough, tight-knit community.

However, as with any profession dealing in guns and blades, the work was often brutal. Fistfights and power plays were inevitable, and Finn didn’t want Betio to witness such scenes.

This decision was made with that in mind.

Betio didn’t complain, didn’t beg to be allowed to accompany him, nor did she argue about how she’d joined him last time. Instead, she simply nodded and waved her hand softly.

"Alright, Finn! Please come back safe."
