I guess so...

[ He knew she'd want to, but hearing it still makes his heart a little fluttery. ]

There has to be a way to. We just need to find it...

But there's no...

[She starts to protest, thinking there's nothing but the City that can transport them. Which...Oh.]

Something like controlling the City...

Like what?

[ He pulls away a little now just so he can look at her. ]

Controlling the City.

[She lifts her head to look up at him.]

It's the only thing we know that can move us between here and our own worlds.

Ah, right...

[ He thinks of it for a second. ]

But there are other ways to move between worlds, too. Using the City would just be the easiest.

[The City's certainly the first that comes to mind for her, though she tilts her head curiously.]

Other ways? What are thinking about?

[ He draws some vague signs into her back. ]

There could be like...a breech between worlds and we could go like that. Like when Yuri and Luke broke through the barrier before.

[ And resting his hands against her again. ] I think that's how it usually goes.

[It feels kind of nice, even as she's mostly focusing on what he's saying.]

Huh? A breech? I'd expect weird stuff like that around here to stop us from going anywhere, but between worlds?

Yeah. How do you think it happens in our own worlds? [ It's an honest questions; he's sure Rita has some idea. ]

You mean how do we get here from the City? [She wishes she had an answer to that. She'd like to know.]

[ He shakes his head. ] I mean in any world, not just the City.

[And now she's actually a little confused!] Huh? Have you seen stuff like that before?

Sort of--I've mostly just heard of it. [ He doesn't think bringing in monsters from other worlds and sending them backs really counts as 'seen'. ] They don't talk about that in your world?

[It does pique her curiosity, and the interest is obvious in her face.] There might be a couple researchers who theorize it--like, just multi-universe theories--but there was no proof. Until I came here.

Then this is all the proof you need. [ He can't help but be a little excited, even if it's only a few people in her world who think about it. ] Maybe we can do something with blastia here--if you can make one strong enough.

Well, yeah--it definitely exists, but... [He sounds so excited, she almost hates to admit that she doesn't know where to begin.]

I've never studied anything like that. I don't even know if the ancients could do it...

[ He huffs a little and...tries to appeal to her competitive side. ] You make it sound like the ancients are the beginning and end of blastia development... If we studied, you could make something they never thought of before.

[Ohh, Tyr, he knows how to rile her up...She bristles and huffs a little indignantly.] I know that! Y-you don't have to tell me.

[ He sort of likes riling her up... ] So why bring up the ancients like that? You're supposed to be a genius.

[Jerk...] I am a genius! F-forget about those ancients, already!

Because you're going to surpass all of them?

Hmph! You're damn right I will.

Then we should start studying as soon as we can. I can tell you what I know.

[ This is a good distraction from the cursed candies! ]

[The best distraction! Rita's completely forgotten about them for the moment.]

Then start. I want to know everything.

[ He pulls himself out of her hug - it's a little hot to cling to each other with the way the City is heating up. ]

All right. Even back home, you need to have a True Rune's power to do it. That or it happens randomly...
