She even says she's beginning to question. She says Ephirim wanted to find answers, solve the mysteries of this world. She agrees and says that's how things should be, they need to questions things and think for themselves. (Horrible idea for her). Anyway, Ephirim says she's not herself today, and even Foretellers (that's what the 5 are called) have offdays, he then tries to get her to tell him about the Book
Of Prophcies by tricking her (worth a shot) but she figures it out and says he was trying to pull a fast one on her (nothing gets by Ava). He says no, honest, and she just believes him... (god damn it Ava!)

She says it wouod he great if all the Unions could work together and be friends. Speaking of, Ephirim made a friend in another Union today, (wonder who it could be) they are meeting up again tomorrow, and Ava says that sounds like fun. Ephirim leaves and Ava laments if the worst happens she'll be glad to leave the future to kids who see the world like he does.

She then begs the wind to carry her Dandelions far far away. That's important to note.

Invi returns to Ira who asks her if she's learned anything, and she immediately tells Ira that Aced and Gula's Unions allied (again, this is NOT true). Ira reacts to this calm and... fuck it, I'm not even joking about these idiots anymore....

Ira instantly goes full dumb ass and menacingly declares Aced the traitor after all... ok. First off, no, second off, why couldn't Gula be the traitor, why is it auto Aced?

Invi says she doesn't believe he is (THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU ACCUSE HIM OF IT IN THE MEETING!???) and they to Aced Unification is just a way to get stronger to oppose the darkness. And that his heart still belongs to light.

Ira gets up and slams the book and starts yelling that "Forming alliances was strictly forbidden by the Master"

Invi says "yes, and his teachings are absolute." (Getting some real Waco vibes here....) She says she will try to persuade Gula to dissolve the Alliance. Ira says he will do it, and Invi begs him let her do the talking. (She knows he's an idiot), as himself intervention won't do anything except make Aced even angrier. Ira leaves it to her. She continues on.

"Aced has begun to question the two of us" (he knows Ira's hitting it, making it unfair for everyone else) and as a precaution her "reports" will be less frequent. She doesn't want him to get the wrong idea, and she begs Ira to understand. Ira questioning where else he can find some high school chick into mask play that he can nail on the side when Invi is not coming around as much sits down and contemplates life reading his version of the Book of Prophecies.

And we come to our first major time skip.

Forward 3 months and Aced and Gula walk into a building, and Gula just casually says he thinks he's done. Aced is confused by this (as are we) and asks him done with what. To which Gula replies the alliance. Aced asks why. Gula says because he only did it because he thought they were gonna fight some impending darkness, but it hasn't come.
(That's right kids, if the Apocalypse is ever on the way and doesn't arrive in 3 months, it's never happening apparently.), to his credit though, the rest does make sense. He says there haven't been any suspicious incidents recently and Gula hasn't ralied anyone else to his cause. Gula says the Alliance is meaningless, even Invi agrees... (god damn it) he nearly catches himself but it's too late. Aced yells Invi? The Gula says "uhoh, you weren't supposed to find out" (making it seem like he did it on purpose) and Aced wants to know if Invi was the one who told him to break the Alliance. He says maybe, but it wasn't his decision and he gave him the reasons. Aced grabs him and lifts him up and says they don't know who the traitor is yet, and Gula says that's exactly why he's breaking it off.

Things are getting good.
