[k]
[charaFace B 0]
＠Kirschtaria
Yes, I know. You hated the gods for their flaws and tyranny, and humans for being weak[line 2]yourself included.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
But even though you were so enraged and despondent as to rend your own body, you still chose to survive instead of taking your life.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
Ultimately, you asked the sea-god who wounded you, and whom you hated more than anyone, for indemnification, and were turned into a Divine Spirit.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
You didn't do it to become a god like Poseidon. You did so to ensure you would never lose all hope for yourself again.

＠Kirschtaria
Oh, this? This happened back in my[sr]hometown, before I came to Chaldea.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
It was a curse designed to damage my magical circuits[sr]directly. My father inflicted it on me when I was a child.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
Afterwards, I was shut away in a basement[sr]for several days. That's how I got this.

[k]
＠Kirschtaria
Anyway, to make a long story short, I made it out of that basement, made my father retire, and successfully assumed leadership of my family.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
That was the point when my objective became clear.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
I swore then and there that I would find a way to overcome betrayal... Oppression... Discrimination... Prejudice... Fear... Jealousy... Anger... Anxiety...
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
All the human weaknesses and defects that[sr]cast a pall over our lives and minds.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
Caenis, your summoning was no accident, nor was it a compromise. You are my first[line 2]indeed, my only choice. As far as I'm concerned, you were the first to show it could be done.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
I haven't told anyone else my true objective.[sr]Not Zeus, and not the Dioscuri.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
I came to you because I believe you're the only one who will understand how I feel, and why I made the oath I did.
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
So, how about it, Caenis?
[k]
＠Kirschtaria
I have enough power to shock you to your core,[sr]but my body is not nearly so tough as yours.
