A day later…
Ashido and crew have boarded Koji’s ship, the Jester X, which is en route to Hekshano. Although the crews of the two ships fight for the same side, they do not know one another.
Ashido is walking down a corridor, and notices Lypha in the med room.
Ashido: So this is where da medic is hidin, huh?
Lypha: Gee, what tipped you off?
Ashido: So this is da mystery Human, huh? Sure looks like he’s been through da ringer a few times. You keepin guard? Let me introduce myself. I’m Ashido Tsukiyo, captain of da Chrisodeo and former rock star sensation. Well, kinda.
Lypha: Hey. I’m Soshika Lypha. And yeah, I’m stuck with him. But you’re … A Mite, right? And an albino one, too? Jeez, this must be good luck or something.
Ashido: Heh, yep. I’m da only one I know. So yer da one with da master plan and da contacts?
Lypha: Pff… yeah, right.
Ashido: It is yer brother, right? So… what’s yer deal with him? I mean, there’s a reason we didn’t head there right away. Did ya fight, or…?
Lypha (thinking): I don’t want to say. There’s a reason I lied to Intel and said I had no brother. I don’t have to tell anyone. I won’t tell I won’t tell I won’t tell I won’t tell…
Solla: Yes, Lypha.
Lypha notices Koji, Solla, and Sartre are standing there.
Solla: All of us are quite curious.
Lypha, to herself: Craika.
