I have nothing left
to say to you.

You're not going to follow him?

What's the point?
He's not gonna talk to me.

So this was a complete waste of time?

Well, I wouldn't
go that far.

You mean the apatheia?

When the aer krene went berserk,
Regaey -- I mean, Yeager -- was
carrying this box.

This box was what messed
up my magic...

You think the apatheia is what's causing
the aer krene to go out of control?

Judging from the evidence, it
could be a valid hypothesis.

So when the blastia in Heliord
was going out of control...you
think there was apatheia nearby?

And the aer krene
in Keiv Moc, too...

There may have been.

Otherwise, maybe the apatheia's
been damaging the whole world's
aer krene little by little,

and a large distortion just
happened to appear then.

...I see.

It's really nothing more than a
guess, but it could be right.

You don't sound very sure of yourself.

In science, you continually make hypotheses,
then test them, and you get closer and closer
to the truth. That's how it is.

Hmph...

...Well, okay. Maybe I can do
something with this after all.

What are you going to do now?

The next step after a hypothesis is testing it!
