Cybele’s Master: Cybele . . . Is there any way to make you go . . . somewhere?
Cybele: Sure is, Master! Where do you want me to go?
That’s not what I mean. What I’m saying is, this Contract of yours . . .
Cybele: Ours.
Cybele’s Master: Right, ours . . . is there anything that would break it? Any way to stop you from being so bound to me?
Cybele: Master . . . are you saying that you’re . . .
. . . scared? Afraid I might disapprove of what you’re having me do and run away? It’s okay! I could never do that to you!
Cybele’s Master: Th–That’s not what I– I’m the one who gets to disapprove of you! What does it take to get you to cause a little mayhem, huh?
Cybele: Silly! All you had to do was ask.
Okay, if that’s soccer they’re watching, that proves to me without a doubt that Cybele’s owner isn’t Bennett.
Another possibility is that Cybele’s master is the newscaster we saw interviewing Bennett.
yeah, bennit’s too obvious, it’ll be somebody else who happened to be on screen
Aww, she’s so cute when she’s being manipulated for evil ends.
Manipulated? Bunny, please, that hopper being manipulated like a kid in the candy shop is “forced” to take free samples.
I will second the “cute” part, though/
Having doubts about the propriety of your plan, Mr. Mystery Mayhem?
Nothing like a cute child/rabbit to make you consider how impure you’ve become yourself, over the course of time…
I get serious Colbert vibes from Cybele’s master for some reason…
I interpret this as Cybele’s master being interested in having her free to act on her own, though maybe for the reason of not being accountable/responsible. He’s afraid of responsibility?
I’m seeing a theme in how the masters react to the duties of being such. Bianca and Tim don’t want to impose out of principle. Miranda is the task mistress. Nevada is afraid.
