So I thought I'd stop by to see if there were any fun changes in you...

[charaFace A 14]

...but you look the same as ever. Ugh, you're so boring.
[k]

＠Kama
Why couldn't you be drowning your woes in booze or whining about not wanting to work anymore or something?

All I wanted was a golden opportunity to drag you into depravity, and you couldn't even give me that.

You really don't need to tell me not to work too hard. Waaay ahead of you there.

Are you still half asleep or something? Why would you be glad to see the Demon King of Depravity?

Teehee. Maybe you really did experience some kind of degenerative, self-destructive change, the kind just begging to be corrupted.

...But for now, why don't you just treat yourself a bit? Go on back to sleep if you're still drowsy?

[lr]It could be that the Alter Egos wanted to materialize.
[k]

＠
That these other personalities that still exist despite being ignored and repressed want nothing more than to come to the forefront.
[k]

＠
Maybe the very expression of that desire is what makes Alter Egos what they are.
[k]

＠
Which would mean that the Alter Ego who longs[sr]for love[line 2]no matter how minute[line 2]is still somewhere inside the Servant that created her...

＠Sion
Well, that was certainly embarrassing.
[k]

＠Sion
Now that I have analyzed Rani-XII and determined how she came about...
[k]

＠Sion
...it is clear this incident was one of the Ordeal Calls that man told us about.
[k]

＠Sion
Still, quite a surprise to see so much distortion built up on the Paper Moon, of all places.
[k]

[charaFace B 4]

＠Sion
It may not have risen to the level of the Seven Taboos, but if I had been a little more diligent, maybe we would have discovered this distortion before it became a problem.
[k]

＠Sion
As I am meant to be the Paper Moon's caretaker, this has been a humbling experience.
[k]

[charaFace B 11]

＠Sion
The only positive is that, despite being taken by surprise, we were still able to resolve the situation.
[k]

＠Sion
Everything else simply demonstrates how much room we have for improvement.
[k]

＠Sion
And thanks to my frequent use of Memory Partition, I can recall the whole experience clearly.
[k]

[charaFace B 5]

＠Sion
In fact, I wonder if I am the only one who does.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]

＠Sion
Hmm... Kama is also accustomed to existing as multiple versions of herself.
[k]

[charaFace B 10]

＠Sion
I would not be surprised if she remembers too, but I think I will be merciful and not bring it up.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]

＠Sion
As for Ms. Elron and [%1], I would[sr]expect their memories are subconscious at best.

＠Sion
We were brought into the Paper Moon's world during the first spin of the Alter Ego generating centrifuge.
[k]

[masterBranch _Male _Female]
[label _Male]

＠Sion
It is therefore extremely likely that[sr][%1] was an Alter Ego, too.

[charaFace B 13]

＠Sion
But what kind of Alter Ego was [&he:she]?
[k]

[charaFace B 11]

＠Sion
[&His:Her] poor condition when we first entered that world[sr]may be a hint.
[k]

＠Sion
[&He:She] was in bad enough shape that [&he:she] could barely[sr]fight without help from my Etherlite.
[k]

＠Sion
So, [&he:she] was in suboptimal physical condition for[sr]reasons unknown, and there was a discrepancy between[sr][&his:her] mind and body. Put all this together and...[sr]Ah, now I see.

＠Sion
Hypothesis One: [&he:she] was an Alter Ego who was fed up[sr]with fighting.
[k]

[charaFace C 10]

＠Sion
Yes, I like that idea. In fact, I certainly hope[sr][&he:she] has such a side to [&him:her] somewhere.
[k]

[charaFace C 1]

＠Sion
Ideally, no human should ever want to fight more than is necessary.
[k]

＠Sion
If [&he:she] lacks that trait, then [&he:she] will never be able[sr]to go back to a normal life once the fighting is over.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]

＠Sion
Let us try the opposite approach.
[k]

＠Sion
If a given person was excited about fighting a battle for the fate of the world, and was neither hesitant nor concerned about it...
[k]

＠Sion
If that person did not have the slightest trace of a personality that would push them to avoid fighting where necessary...
[k]

[charaFace C 13]

＠Sion
That person would be a Berserker in human form. Something about them would have to be broken.
[k]

＠Sion
Such a person would never be able to return to a normal life after the fighting ended. They would continue to seek bloodshed wherever they went.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]

＠Sion
But fortunately, [%1] has also[sr]demonstrated the strong likelihood that [&he:she] will not go down that path.
[k]

＠Sion
That is good. That is how [&he:she] should be.
[k]

[charaFace C 16]

＠Sion
Well, when [&he:she] used Medusa's virtual Noble Phantasm[sr]Mystic Code to fight back [&himself:herself]...
[k]

＠Sion
...I did also see that [&he:she] was completely unafraid[sr]to stand on the front line...but the one does not cancel out the other.
[k]

＠Sion
There are times in many people's lives when they end up loving someone despite trying to avoid it...
[k]

＠Sion
...and when they fight in hope of not having to fight again.
[k]

[charaFace C 15]

＠Sion
...Of course, if [&he:she] IS willing to fight despite[sr]being sick of fighting as long as [&he:she] has sufficient[sr]reason...
[k]

＠Sion
...that is a worrying possibility unto itself.
[k]

＠Sion
But there is probably nothing we can do there except encourage [&him:her] to continue seeing a therapist.

＠Sion
Another possibility[line 2]made, perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight[line 2]is that [&he:she] did not win[sr]the Holy Grail War.
[k]

＠Sion
Using that as a hint...
[k]

＠Sion
...maybe it was a version of [&him:her] which was not the[sr]last Master of humankind, and was not responsible for the world's fate.
[k]

＠Sion
Maybe that version of [&him:her] was just an ordinary Master.
[k]

[charaFace D 11]

＠Sion
An Alter Ego who was just looking to take it easy for once.
[k]

＠Sion
Hmm. That one seems unlikely.
[k]

[charaFace D 6]

＠Sion
Of course, ultimately, this is all just conjecture.
[k]

[charaFace D 12]

＠Sion
It could simply be that [&he:she] was pulled into that[sr]world because [&he:she] was a Master with Command Spells...
[k]

＠Sion
...and that [&he:she] was the one exception that was never[sr]made into an Alter Ego at all.
[k]

＠Sion
In that case, [&his:her] poor physical condition could be[sr]chalked up as a simple reconstruction error during the import process.
[k]

[charaFace D 10]

＠Sion
I think I would give that one about fifty-fifty odds.

[charaFace B 4]

＠Sion
Like the fact that I took advantage of my childhood appearance...
[k]

＠Sion
...to use that “thread” I threw away because it was simply too unethical to rely on.
[k]

＠Sion
Talk about a black mark.
