Temporary Deconstruction of Vella

The following interview was conducted via online messaging. All text has been left unmodified.

Interviewer: █████, can you describe what you saw on ██/██/16?

█████: Yeah, I saw Master Vella talking to Grandmaster Marsh. It seemed like a normal conversation.

Interviewer: Then what happened?

█████: The two just stopped talking at one point and it seemed like nothing, but you could sorta feel this... vibe. I don't know really how to describe it. Then I look away to see if █████ felt it too and next thing I know, Master Vella is just.. gone.

Interviewer: Gone? What do you mean, "gone?"

█████: Literally vanished into thin air.

Interviewer: But, I'm sure you are aware, Vella is still alive and well today. Maybe he just walked away and you didn't see?

█████: No, I looked away for about two seconds. It's impossible that he just simply walked away. I'm pretty sure he was deconstructed.

Interviewer: Deconstructed? Master John Vella, deconstructed? Surely you are mistaken.... Why would the Grandmaster deconstruct Vella?

█████: Look I have no clue why. I'm just telling you what I saw. That feeling I got...I've felt it before.

Interviewer: Interesting. In what circumstance?

█████: ████, █ ███ ██████ ████ █████ ████ █ ███ ████ ██████ ████ ████ ████ ██████ ██. ████████, █████ █████ ████████ ██, ███ █ ███████ ████ ███ ████ ███████ ████ █ ███ ████ █ ██████ ████.

Interviewer: Oh, my. We may need a separate statement from you on that incident too. Make sure you contact me at █████████████████ or ███-███-█████ when you get the chance.

█████: Sure, thanks.

END OF INTERVIEW

NB: The prevailing theory is that the level of conversation between Marsh and Vella reached such an Enlightened level that Vella was momentarily deconstructed (as if briefly flickering out of existence). Some speculate, based on the limited evidence, that Vella may have reached Class 5 just for an instant.
