[When Manon finally resumes his tale, Liem slides his gaze back to him, leaving Hayame to keep an eye on the strangers who had followed them down into the cavern. He is ill inclined to leave them entirely unwatched, but Manon deserves his full attention.

As before, during the main body of the questioning, Manon clearly struggles to recount some aspects of his experience. Liem does not dare to speak, concerned that if he is interrupted he may not be able to delve back into his memories again. Instead, he watches and listens, taking note of some things he hadn't known before: the possibility of Meridian involvement without the Tribune's participation; Manon's low opinion of Cyrus; some details about Discord that he hadn't previously heard.

The information about the monsters in Alenroux is not entirely unsurprising, given Aetós's use of similar creatures above, where the others presumably remain.

But although the man is clearly on edge, Liem senses no description from him. He seems simply like he's been under pressure for far too long, and how he just wants to escape. There is one thing, however, that Liem does not understand.]

Why is it that you were willing to go to the Tribune with your information, even though you thought Meridian may also be involved in this matter?
