I've been talking to Usagi and— yes. He cheated his way out of it, essentially. [ And immediately took straight to the network to start making threats. Wonderful. She's still trying to get her head around what Usagi's told her, but he's done something, some other kind of magic to split himself apart and then... for some reason the curse had been fulfilled to grant him its end. ]
I'm sorry, Fern. I know this must be a lot harder on you. [ They get on, don't they? Even with Maul hurting them, he'd made progress from that. It's just... really kind of awful for him, along with Varian and Usagi. ]
I honestly thought it was a step in the right direction, even if I didn't completely trust him. It was honestly better than him terrorizing Peter every chance he got. But then with Varian and Usagi putting themselves on the line — [ There's a soft sigh, she shakes her head. ] I thought he might have been getting better, too.
I don't really know. I'm worried that he's just... going to try and use Paimon, somehow. But I know I can't just... ban Paimon from interacting with him. [ It wouldn't be right to. She respects Paimon, and she can only leave the decision with him. ]
That would be quite ideal, wouldn't it? [ She sounds despondent. She honestly doesn't know what she's going to do about Maul. She's quiet for a long time, and then: ] If something does happen to me. Look out for Peter and Paimon for me, alright?
[He makes a noise of frustration at that. Cool, so not only did he not learn anything, he actively worked against learning anything, then turned around and made things worse. Fern isn't the most moral person but even he can see the ridiculousness of the situation.]
It's - I dunno. It's not as hard on me as Usagi and V. They're the ones who've tried so hard to help him. They're not as good at recognizing when some people just suck and aren't worth it.
[So that's who he's really worried about, here, on top of Luna and Peter and Savage and Reaper.
He makes a noise like a sigh, wishing the ocean dump was a viable option.]

I will, Luna. I promise.
