"Just moving on to the next stage..." The Statue muttered, "You've proven that I can't handle you in my current state... I'm grateful to you... After all, if you hadn't completely filled the bowl, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

"Hey, did we actually do the right thing? Maybe we shouldn't have given away our treasure!" Erza exclaimed.
"Don't be silly. I wasn't going to take the easy way out anyway." Wain muttered as he reversed the action of the fourth form, "We have only one chance to get the key, so we must do what we can."
