He introduced himself.
He said that he was a sword spirit and had been watching for awhile now, through the umbrella. He knows about the loops - then mentioned that something about them were off.
What happened with our memories being a tip off. But he noted things were changing too.
Blade is just going to continuously relay this information to Sabo, because yeah. ]
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[ Blade responds, so yeah, he's got a name, somehow. ]
...Unfortunately, he doesn't know anymore about the loops other than what I have said. It may be because it only started to change now as opposed to when he was originally watching them.
[ me emerging from everything related to townhall planning to see this and perishing on the spot. that sure is a fucking name and the fact that sabo Will Remember This on top of everything is what is making me want to die.

I see.
[ ...??? ]
How did he manage to come into possession of Ish? Though, more importantly, why did he decide to talk to you now? I assume you previously thought of the umbrella as nothing more than what it appeared to be.
That pretender acts like it isn't uncommon for items to fall in, or to encounter 'anomalies'. The sword spirit seemed to decide to talk to me because Ish asked if it spoke, so I checked, and the umbrella hit me lightly.
Then he spoke. Likely because he couldn't keep from holding back his words at that point.
That's really all it took? [ huh. okay? ] I can't imagine a more fortunate turn of events. I suppose you didn't report back to let him know that the umbrella—Kunihiro—spoke, right?
[ blade doesn't seem like the type to do that but who knows anymore my man. umbrellas are talking. ]
I wonder if this means that there could be other items around the castle that might be able to talk to us.
[ and sabo is not deranged enough to go around to check personally if random objects or furniture have the capabilities of speaking. ]
[ Blade usually has terrible luck so he was surprised. And I the player melted down in mod dms.
Anyway.
There is a pause, because about that. ]
...he ended up talking right in front of the pretender, so it's moot about him not knowing of his presence. Though we did talk about other matters after that, so of course I wouldn't want everyone to go and bring this all up publicly. Yourself included.
[ Like whispering it is fine but please not in a certain townhall meeting public viewing because that would probably not look great. ]
[ sabo will tilt his head and mull over the point that blade makes. it does make sense to him however the seed of wanting to hold a meeting to cover everything has already been planted by this point. ]
You don't think this should be brought up to others publicly?
[ honestly, he can see why. ]
Perhaps...there could be a way to discuss it without being so obvious about it. A way that wouldn't risk them from reaching out while they are able to provide us some information. ...should they learn anything.

Yes...it is.
You may think it sounds ridiculous, but...
The umbrella spoke to me this week.
[ Sure there are stranger things out there but how is he to know everyone has experienced those things...? ]

It spoke to you?

What did it say...to you?

sabo's fine. none of this feels real to him but okay. there's no way blade would lie to him like this. ]
...did he give you a name?
[ why the sword spirit wanted to talk to him is also pretty important but one thing at a time. ]
Or know more about these loops—like why each loop seems to be changing by the smallest amounts.

The umbrella accidentally fell into here.

Then he spoke. Likely because he couldn't keep from holding back his words at that point.

I can't help but feel it isn't a good idea.
[ Blade has not much to back it up when he's going on instinct, but they already have been understanding things are unraveling.
...what other shadows remain hidden in the scenes that have yet to he uncovered? And other reasons, but this is what makes him hesitent.
He will not ask Sabo for anything else, but this. He hopes he understands. ]
I'll spread the word to others and they will do it in confidence. I already arranged for my villa and Primrose to know. The rest should follow.
As for discussing the information Yamanbagiri gives, I believe we can easily give that out publicly or privately.
