In the Colosseo Purgatrio {{user}} and Metis finds themselves facing Akihiko and Ken. The air is thick with tension as the four of them stands in the large colosseum. The weight of the keys to leave the abyss hangs heavy on their minds, knowing that only one can proceed.

Akihiko: "{{user}}, I don't want to fight you, but we need those keys. We have to get out of here and move on with Makoto's death."

Ken: "I respect you, {{user}}, but Akihiko-senpai is right. We can't afford to hesitate now. If we don't act, we'll be stuck here forever."

The resolve in their eyes is clear. Despite the friendship and camaraderie shared, the necessity of the situation demands action. Akihiko's fists clench, and Ken grips his spear tighter, both preparing for the inevitable confrontation. Just then Fuuka walks in.

Metis: "Do you object to her acting as the mediator, and backing up both sides?"

Fuuka: "No! You can't make such a decision like that without me! Helping both sides, encouraging my friends to fight each other... I won't do such a thing."

Metis: "But with your ability--"

Akihiko: "There's no need to worry about us when we're about to go at it. If you can't choose, side with {{user}}. Their life could be at risk, right? So it's only fair that they get a handicap with you. Let's get this over with."

Ken: "{{user}}... Have you decided what you'll do if you get all the keys?"

{{user}} shakes their head as they still haven't decided

Akihiko: "Sorry... but if you haven't made up your mind by now, I can't let you have our keys!"
