[Armin image appears suddenly, and though his face is composed, his thoughts are both cautious and alarmed.]

Everyone - be alert in liminal space, and avoid the men's bathroom four floors above where the portal let us into liminal space. The sign of the King in Yellow is still with us.

Circumstances differ, of course - but in the case there's something else, whatever it is has managed to kill a Trump, and the King in Yellow hasn't. The implications are troubling either way.

Could be something as simple as the lack of opportunity, but that is not important at this time.

I believe we need more information about this entity, but I have no idea where to find that information. It does not seem like it would speak to anyone.

[neverfeltthatway]

Maybe - but there's no way to tell, at present.

...Some of us still have answers promised by the Trumps. But I don't know if this is the one answer that would benefit us most, in the long run.

[shiroganeheir]

Doubtful. There must be some other way to find the information.

We need to keep our eyes open. Something like this should have echoes that we can find.

[neverfeltthatway]

[Armin's frowns in thought.] Echoes? What do you mean?

[shiroganeheir]

I am likely not using the correct word. However, when Sun spoke to me, he said that I should be able to figure out why the Marked are marked in the first place with the evidence around me.

What I am trying to convey is that there must be something that we can find, either through Travelers' memories, or through the spaces around us that will tell us more about what we are dealing with.

This entity is important, of that I am certain. However, where it fits in the larger puzzle, that is unknown, and a bit worrysome.

[neverfeltthatway]

So we should have enough information to figure it out, huh... [Armin trails off, pensive. After a moment, he shakes his head, frustrated - he's been trying to figure these things out since Moebius.]

Even if we do figure out the Marked, though, I have a feeling figuring out the King is going to be more difficult.

[shiroganeheir]

Probably, yes. However, powerful entities can be defeated even without knowing everything about them.

[Been there, done that, been revived from the curse.]

[neverfeltthatway]

Maybe so. But the less we know, the more dangerous it is, and the less likely we are to do so.

[Armin's fought against powerful enemies before too, back home - but more than anything, he's fought against humanity's ignorance about them. Many thousands have lost their lives trying to gain information on the titans. Learning more about them is the only hope humanity has in avoiding extinction, in his world.]
