Maruki waited patiently as he watched her go over the motions of what her desire posed in the grand scheme of things.

"I had a vague idea you would say that." His smile remains as he leans off the table. "I mean I have a whole...cognitive space dedicated to my ideals. A palace. They say it's a place holding distorted desires."
