Sten sighed internally. Of all the things to forget. "I'm Sten Zaf-"

Lucy walking into him wasn't expected. She gripped his arms, another surprise. Then she asked if he was alright. "Of course not! I only just figured out what was going on and because of it you got hurt. Only if I had figured things out sooner." Who was he kidding? Even if he had, how could he save anyone? How could he help anyone?

Sten took Lucy's hands and gave her a tired look. He noticed the break in her voice as she spoke again. He gripped her hands more firmly as if to instill some confidence into her. "It'll be alright when all this is over. First we need to find out who the Jester is and deal with them. Whoever it is, doesn't want the Black King to be doing whatever she's doing to change the game. That person is attached to the game and is desperate to stop her. Desperate enough to send a message by killing Kings." This was serious. He couldn't afford to hold back any information here, because whatever was going on lack of information could kill.

He looked at the others. "It's a lot to explain, but I have all the information on a bulletin board in my room." He would have rubbed his eyelids at this point, but he didn't want to let go of Lucy's hands out of concern and the belief that she still needed the support. "I bet you have a lot of questions. I can answer some of them." He didn't say it, but the fall of the Green City was the catalyst that got him on the track that he was currently on. If that hadn't happened he couldn't have guessed the reasoning behind the declaration of war by the Ebony Strykers.

He then turned his gaze toward the main campus. "I don't think we have a lot of time though. If I were the Black King, I'd call up Yoshino to deliver a message for me via another announcement in the auditorium. I think we're past time of keeping secrets." He tensed his body as he mentioned announcement. He was pretty eager to go. The sooner the better was his thoughts with an assembly. His patience would only last so long before he took action. He felt the time to act would be soon.
