[Rin, of all people aside from the Nesters, should have the full story - this means Stocke doesn't talk for a few moments, rounding everything up in his head. It'd be faster, only... well, he's already starting to run down. Nowhere near as bad as it'll get, but he's feeling the edges of it.]

I couldn't get to the Arcade without someone to let him in, no. But there's the tunnels he made. And the network is still part of him.

I had the thought - the priests have to do something for them, to be priests. An expression of worship. So if I did the opposite - something meant to desecrate...

Don't know if it was that or stealing part of the network that he didn't like. Both, maybe. But it did something - the old Nest in Vandare. It's not his anymore.
