≋ Choices Made (Attempted Lock from Maleficent)

[salvagedlight]

[When the communicator turns on, it shows Ven - and he doesn't look too good, to put it fairly mildly. There are faint circles under his eyes like he hasn't slept well since the attack on the castle in Never Was, and he's a bit paler than usual. But there's a spark in his eyes that's nothing but awake and focused - he's got a goal, and he won't be turned away from it.]

I'm going back. To the castle. I can't... I won't just leave her there, like that. S... Sailor Moon did everything she could to stop Maleficent, and I won't just give up on her no matter what any evil fairy says.

[He's taken this a little more personally than probably is expected, but he has his reasons.]

I'm looking for anyone willing to come with me. I don't know if it's going to be easy - I'm hoping we can just sneak in and out, but there's no guarantee about that, especially with the crystal she has now. But we all owe her the attempt. She'd do the same for us - and more.

[And he turns off the video function before he can dig himself in any deeper and give away his specific reasons for wanting to do this.]
