[The whole address is a series of ups and downs, overwhelming to take in all the details. That shadowy figure leaping and taking form, the previously concerned and alarmed Estinien now as quick to attack as several of the others had cautioned... the ease with which the Regent brushes it off, exactly as Undyne hadn't. Alphys bites her lip for at that, biting back tears.
It sounds like the Regent doesn't distinguish between the Aions sworn to the Pleroma, and the entity of stagnation itself, which... She has to, because they really do sound so concerned and well-intentioned in their ignorance, it's hard to see them as enemies. At least Father Paul says it clearly enough that maybe some of them will stop... Except, well.]
D-Do we really have to... invite them to fight us? [She can barely make eye contact, such as it is with the Regent's mask, and wrings her hands together.] I mean, it's already, um, hard enough? If they'd just surrender, we could make things better, so much faster...!
[Not to whine, she's trying to take this announcement of upcoming difficult missions seriously. But she's whining a bit here.]
