DUST: 'Are you alright, Mori?'
Mori: 'I'm fine...just a little exhausted. Wow. You were amazing.'
DUST: 'And so were you. Great work.'
Mori: 'Thank you.'
Cinderella: 'How? How could we lose like this? Such an unbeautiful outcome. Plus, it did not seem fair of you to transform.'
Siren: 'Aaaaah..'
Grave: 'We had you cornered. You had no way out of this. How did you do it?'
DUST: 'It's simple. Strike when the opportunity presents itself. You are indeed strong, and you thought that you'll easily defeat me. But, you made ONE fatal mistake: you let your guard down.'
Cinderella: 'What? Someone as beautiful as me could never.'
DUST: 'Yet you did, Cinderella. It's a mistake I made as well when I fought Theodore for the first time.'
Siren: 'Ooooh?'
DUST: 'I also thought I won the fight, but Theodore was steps ahead. He emerged from the rubble and defeated me, when I turned my back to him, thinking I had won. It all felt the same now's
Grave: 'I see. So you took that fight as a lesson.'
DUST: 'Exactly. And I made sure to not repeat that same mistake again.'
DUST passed his trial, #Mori her training. #OldTales were upset. Especially #Cinderella & #Siren. #Grave was calm. DUST explained that they let their guard down when they thought they'd won. A mistake he made when fighting Theodore for the first time. A good lesson.
