Possibilities (before battle)

I see… So this is what that was about.

There's no need to get impatient, Ishmael. As the bus makes its journey, you'll naturally…

You'll naturally start taking on more important tasks than beating the life out of random crooks.

I know you're eager to achieve your goals… but at least try to have some patience.

... Tch.

Since this works by whisking out one of our limitless possibilities from the mirror worlds, it'll have overwritten a part of our memories.

You'll get used to it in no time.

Whoa, hang on… That sounds a bit dangerous, don't it?

What if I'm no longer my old self by the end? Heheh.

……

Don't mistake yourselves for the Ship of Theseus.

While it is true that you borrow the Identities and their memories, the system is designed to ensure that you retain control over your own existence.

Different though your reflection may be, it is bound to vanish once you walk away from the mirror.

... How our capability grows ultimately depends on you, Manager Dante.

It will be up to you to decide which figment of possibility fits each situation best.

I believe that's what you call a metamorphosis.

Yes, I suppose one could say that it is a form of renascence and transformation.

Golly, where'd you learn big words like that?

I picked it up. My prior profession required meeting people from various walks of life.

Transformation, huh…

Done chatting?

First, we make way for the bus. You'll spend more time together than you'd ever ask for, so table that discussion for later.
