What Do You Mean, Academy City Has Risen?

[Holy crap, so that was why Fire Right Seat personally came to find Index.]

[I knew something didn't add up. So that was it.]

[Star of Bethlehem isn't really about to appear, is it?]

[It's coming, it's coming. It probably really is.]

Laura's words plunged Stiyl
