A brief commotion had been stirred by Xixu drawing his sword on a main street, but the Midiridos director smoothly put it to rest. After changing locations to a private room in a teahouse, she, Sari, and Xixu began their questioning of the boy. Sari took the lead on asking him for his story, as she was the closest to him in age.

And so, as he sniffled and wiped at his eyes, which were moist with tears, Teté, the apprentice craftsman, told them of everything that had happened.

The copy had appeared before him without warning several days prior. At first, Teté had been surprised and frightened of the shade that had taken his form, but once he realized it didn’t appear to be trying to harm him, he was relieved.

Evidently, the copy had been concerned about Teté, and it had asked him if “anything was troubling him.” Teté had been bewildered, but he had been struggling to keep up with the apprenticeship he was not yet accustomed to, and so he had spoken to it of his troubles. The copy had been a good listener, providing affirmation when necessary, and had even proposed several possible solutions. It had felt to Teté as though he were speaking with a close friend.

“But today,” Teté continued, “out of nowhere, he said, ‘I have to go.’”

“Go?” Sari asked. “Where?”

“Rather than ‘where,’ it felt more like...like he was going to vanish. As if he’d been born weak, so he never would’ve lasted long from the start.”

“Born weak?” Sari repeated. She turned the words over in her mind for a few moments, but the sound of Teté’s sniffling soon brought her back to herself. In a calm voice, she continued, “So then you chased after him?”

“Yes. I thought there might be something I could do... But then we met the shadeslayer, and...”

Teté, desperate but unsure of what to do, had attempted to hide the copy’s red eyes, because he’d thought that Xixu wouldn’t be able to cut it down if he couldn’t confirm that it was a shade.

Upon finishing his story, Teté bowed his head low and apologized. Because of the tremor in his voice, the three subjected him to no further questioning and allowed him to leave.
