Arthur's answer to Celestia's question only deepened her frown, since the implication had now become very obvious to her.
At that moment, Lostvayne also manifested her humanoid form, and when Arthur turned toward her with a questioning look, she asked, [You're going along with that 'script,' aren't you?]
That question informed Celestia that Lostvayne had reached the same conclusion she had.
[Why? You seemed completely against going along with it before, so why'd you suddenly decide to follow it now?
Weren't you trying to avoid being manipulated by your future self? Just what did that god of time tell you to let you willingly allow your future self to manipulate you now?]
"I'm not allowing myself to be manipulated by my future self, Lostvayne," Arthur replied with a soft sigh.
