"I'll contact her then," she responded. "And you're free to use me as an excuse if you need to get away from responsibilities for a day," she added blandly, with no emotion in her face to show that she had any feeling one way or the other on that.
"I'll summarize," Renamon started. "If you want to know any details, I'll expand in depth. We first came up with the theory of the people here with power are used to restrain the powers themselves. The energy from the abilities is what dulls and restrains them.
"The energy from our emotions is what powers the Institute itself. The heightened stress, along with them telling us our lives are a lie... as well as people disappearing day in and day out... monsters, restricted abilities, ones that you care about in danger... Any emotion we feel here powers it. And unless a person has grown up being composed and in control of themselves, there's no possible way to stop the process.
"There's also the face of the people who have died before coming here. Supposedly there's a kind of Death Magic, that needs sacrifices to resurrect the dead. And with this place, I wouldn't doubt there would be a shortage of that."
Renamon paused here. "The last points are the most recent, and they're being looked into currently by myself and another. The first is finding out what the Institute was like before it changed overnight. An Adel-" Had Yukari also mentioned someone with a name similar to that? Renamon wondered if she knew the man. "Told me vaguely of the changes but I haven't had a chance to speak with him more about it yet.
"The second was the belief that if people disappear from here, it's because Landel no longer had use for them. As in, he found out or took what he wanted from them. It's imperative that we learn what that is. So we're trying to conduct interviews with people close to the ones who have vanished so try to gain insight on what he might have gained from them."
And there she stopped, waiting for the girl's response. Renamon liked Yukari, and believed her someone intelligent, someone like her perhaps, and Yukari's response would show her if that was true.
