Unbeknownst to her, someone had overheard that conversation... especially her closing statements. Hal paused when he heard that, thinking about what she had wished for, before nodding.

'I should have thought of that.' he thought to himself.

The question was... who? Who should gain this knowledge? Vaeri herself would be the most logical choice, seeing as she had first-hand experience with what was happening, but would the sudden rush of knowledge be too much for her?

On the other hand, perhaps it could jolt her back to a more stable mental state. But there was a chance it would just make it worse, and the wish would go to waste.

So, in the end, he went with a safer bet. Someone that he KNEW had experienced the horrors of the world, so this shouldn't do too much.

"Granted." he whispered, lightly snapping his fingers.

And it was then that Vaeri saw Ty's pupils dilate, as he leaned forward and looked like he was having a small migraine.

"Agh..." Ty muttered.

"Sorry, I'm fine, I'm fine." he assured her.

"Had a bit of... inspiration, you can say?" he told her. "I just got a massive rush of knowledge." he continued, his eyes looking left and right, locating where Sharp was.

"Relevant information." he went on.

"I know what's happening to the people of the theatre." he continued. "It... it seems a wayward Void Dweller has been displaced from its home, and is trying to get back there." he informed her. "To do so, it's displacing the people of the theatre, and using the mana-energy generated from them to try and open a way BACK to the Void." he finished.

"...I do." Ty responded.

"The creature needs a LOT of mana to get home. If we bring someone there with copious amounts of it to spare, then it can syphon off of THEM, and return the others." he explained.

"But we'd need a way to communicate with it." he said further.

"Which is to say, make sure it knows that that will be the deal, and that they would need to return the mana 'donator' back to this realm." he went on.

"But that's just the simplest idea." he stressed.

"I'm still organising the rest of the info I just gleamed as we speak."

"Hmmmm." Ty mumbled.

"If there was a way you could get its attention. Odds are it can hear you." he said.

"Just... some way for you to tell it to show itself to someone we'll send there." he went on.

"You might be able to be an ambassador for us and it." he continued.

"But this is purely theoretical."

Ty shook his head again.

"I can't say if it will work, of if it won't." he said.

"I can't tell you to do it, or not to do it." he went on.

"But if we can somehow establish communication with it, we might be able to get it to listen to us. To see some sort of reason." he told her further.

"It might be our only chance to get everyone else back here safely."

Ty bit his lip slightly.

"I cannot think of anyone else that could potentially contact it." he admitted.

"If you are willing... we have to try." he told her.

"For your sake, as well as everyone else's." he reasoned.

"...and just hope it works..."

Ty shook his head slightly.

"I'm sorry." he apologised.

"It's not fair to ask you to do such a thing, but... I... there's little other options." he said.

"We have demons and angels and spirits and everything else at our disposal... but we don't have a single individual that can properly contact or interact with the Void." he went on.

"None come to mind, anyway..."

"...all we need is some hint that it'll be willing to LISTEN to us." Ty told her.

"Something. Anything." he went on.

"Even if it's just a signal that it's willing to reason." he continued.

"It's all we ask." he said further.

"...it's all we have left, I think..."

Ty didn't know what else to say here. He'd made all the reassurances he could think of, and anything else he could say would be either repeating himself, or be mindless or pointless. She didn't need that.

She needed help. Everyone in that company did.

And this was the only way he could think of for that help to come... even if it wasn't guaranteed.

They were flying blind with this. They could very well crash and burn.

But they couldn't not do something.

Hal had granted this wish, they had to do what they could with the info that had been granted.

She wasn't waiting for long, only 10 seconds, before the door opened.

"Oh!" Hal said.

"Come in, come in." he told her, stepping out of the way.

"...you look particularly out of sorts right now." he then commented.

"Is it getting worse again?" he asked, referring to the flickering.
