The Bipartite Mind 038

• Eldor: Thirteen what?
• Lilith: Thirteen, not twelve.

• Eldor: I have no idea what you're talking about!
• Lilith: In Oakdale, Eldor. You calculated the required number of revolutions of the Tear of Gaia. But your result, twelve, was wrong.

• Eldor: What makes you think that?! The solution was thirteen, of course!
• Lilith: Indeed. But I made you write twelve. I manipulated your mind, Eldor. And you didn't notice!

• Lilith: I was sixteen. I was studying for an exam. It was late. I was all alone in the library. I couldn't resist. I took one of the forbidden books on red magic out of the shelf and learned a few of the spells.

• Eldor: Abort! Abort!!!
• Lilith: It's too late, Eldor. Your plan has failed!

• Lilith: This is the past, Eldor. You cannot change it. I've already cast my spell. The explosion that vaporized your tower has already happened!
