Hopeless

[Alva Ren]

The guy said
He can't help me

Ryland Ren

[Ryland Ren]

What? But I thought Susumu pretty much guaranteed it!!

[Alva Ren]

I thought so too
But he said the mark can't be removed

He wouldn't help
Just made us leave

[Ryland Ren]

but there has to be a way!
If susumu doesn't know it then somebody else does!

[Alva Ren]

Who?
This was the guy who knew everything

I thought he'd
Tell me how to get this off

Only the ancients can get it off
That's the only useful thing he told us

What do I do Ry?

[Ryland Ren]

Find an ancient!

[Alva Ren]

I

But

I can't just
Call one up

They're the most powerful people on earth...

[Ryland Ren]

There has to be others! Somebody that'll help!

[Alva Ren]

I don't know Ry

I don't know
If it's worth fighting

It seems like every path leads to a dead end

[Ryland Ren]

So you're just going to
to
DIE?

[Alva Ren]

There's nothing else we can do

Maybe
Whoever made this mark will let me go once they finish
Whatever they're trying to do

[Ryland Ren]

And what's that?
What are they making you do?

[Alva Ren]

I don't know

Probably more of
What I did the first time

hurting people

[Ryland Ren]

And you're okay with that?!
We can find a way!

They must be hiding something from you!

[Alva Ren]

Of course not
I'm not okay with any of this!

I just don't know what else we can do
We followed every lead

Even Susu's contact couldn't do anything
