[He speaks with much wisdom..! Chongyun nods as he listens carefully, his expression remaining serious.]

Pace myself... you're right. If this truly is as big a mystery as it seems, it won't be solved in one day. I will remember to do as you suggest.

[Though, at the mention of his friend, Chongyun's seriousness falters for a moment as a small smile forms on his face.]

Ah, yes. His name is Xingqiu, and he's also been hard at work investigating this city. It's been nice, knowing that he's here; it makes things feel less intimidating.

[Now he wonders; does Shen Yuan have friends here? Was he on his own? He wants to ask, but then he's asked another question, which causes him to pause.]

Oh... the network? I'm not sure if I know what that is... does it relate to those strange devices we were given?
