I'm just saying that he's preoccupied with getting off the island.

Ion has helped me piece a few things together, but I can't be certain where Asch fits into everything or whose side he's on.

[For that matter, what side does Tear think she's on, or what sides does she even believe there are?]

Apparently he works for the same organization that I do, serving as one of the God-Generals under the assumed name "Asch the Bloody". Before you ask, I don't know anything about them, and only remembered Asch's name cropping up in a conversation.
