[lr]After reaching the point where I had eight hours remaining, I opened the Nautilus's hatch and swam out into the Void Sea on my own.
[k]

＠
I can't risk getting closer than this in the Nautilus. Sheba wouldn't miss a submarine emerging in the Antarctic.
[k]

＠
I have to emerge in Chaldea Base alone, with only the bare minimum of equipment.

Because I'm swimming against the flow of time, space swirls around me like a raging river, bearing down on me harder the further into the past I go.

＠
I'm used to swimming in the sea of Void Space, but swimming in it while also traveling through time is something else altogether.

No ordinary Spirit Origin could endure it. Instead of fighting the current, they'd simply stay in place and disappear.

I grit my teeth harder and do my best to restore my shattered senses to normal.

I still have seven hours' worth of distance to cover to reach the target. Will I make it in time?

＠
For that matter, will my Spirit Origin last that long? This operation has zero margin for error.

＠
Sixty seconds is both the longest time my Spirit Origin can hold together, and the shortest time it takes to reach the destination.

＠
I can't make a single mistake. I can't slow down even for a moment.

＠
If I put even one finger out of place as I swim towards 2017, this operation will fail, and my body will scatter like dust.

[&He:She] was recruited on short notice from a group of[sr]ordinary civilians thanks to [&his:her] extremely high[sr]Rayshift aptitude, in spite of [&him:her] having no[sr]knowledge of magecraft.

However, Chaldea already had a full set of Masters for Teams A through D ready to investigate their first Singularity.

I was just working on a really important job. Of course I'm gonna feel some pressure.
[k]

[charaFace G 0]

＠Man in White Coat
Gotcha. Thanks for all the hard work.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
But I don't want you pushing yourself too hard. When that job is done, you should tackle something light and fun next.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
Of course, work being work, it's not always going to be pleasant, but ideally, it should be fun, too.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
So after you're done with this big important job that's meant to help everyone out, I want you to work on something fun that's just for you.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
And if you can work on it with teammates you're close to, that'd be even better, for you and for them.
[k]

＠???
Teammates? What have they got to do with this?
[k]

[charaFace G 4]

＠Man in White Coat
Oh... Nothing, I guess. Sorry again. You just struck me as someone who prefers to be alone.
[k]

[charaFace G 0]

＠Man in White Coat
But even from this brief little chat, I can tell you have a strong sense of personal responsibility.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
I have no doubt that the people around you admire you for that. They know you'll help when times are tough.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
We don't always get as many opportunities to help and laugh with people as we'd like, so we've really gotta treasure what we do get.
[k]

[charaFace G 8]

＠Man in White Coat
If you have time later, stop by the infirmary. Hopefully you're fine, but better safe than sorry.

[k]

＠
[charaTalk P]
My question wasn't about the nature of the worlds themselves.
[k]

＠
[charaTalk P]
It was about an outsider who had been put in a position to witness their struggle, and decide which one would ultimately win.
[k]

＠
[charaTalk P]
I had to know if he thought this outsider's actions were good or evil, and how he would judge someone like that.

Hmm... Is this the plot of a sci-fi movie? I'm not sure I can give an especially well-informed opinion on something complicated like that...
[k]

[charaCrossFade G 98100000 5 0.3]
＠Man in White Coat
Having said that, if we start from the premise that only one side can survive, and conflict is inevitable...
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
...then trying to determine whether the outsider is good or evil is asking the wrong question.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
Since both the opposing sides are human, there will be no avoiding a clash of values[line 2]a battle between right and wrong, as they say.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
As a rule, people tend to believe they're in the right. Or to put it another way, they can ONLY do what they believe is right.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
So no matter how righteous each side's cause may be, once they find themselves at cross-purposes, the other side must be wrong by definition.
[k]

＠???
...So wrongness is inevitable.
[k]

＠???
That goes for the opposition, and it goes for you opposing them in turn.
[k]

＠???
No matter how good a person you may be, when you have to fight for your survival, you simply can't keep your hands clean.
[k]

＠???
Is that what you're saying?
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
That's right. There's no getting around that.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
So no matter what, you can't believe your side is completely correct and the other is completely wrong.
[k]

＠Man in White Coat
Might doesn't make right. The only thing a conflict's victor wins is the right to decide what to do next.
[k]

＠???
So you think battles for survival can only ever be wrong, huh. Does that mean there's no right to be found anywhere?

What he didn't say, at least not in so many words, was that he hoped we would be the kind of people who did that.
[k]

＠
It was a conventional, obvious answer. But his words rang with absolute certainty.
