[k] @Semiramis Had you not married her,[sr]she would have died without so much as a name. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Semiramis ...Yes, that's right.[sr]This was the best choice I could make. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Semiramis Allow me to apologize to you on her behalf. [k] @Semiramis Your life would have been a happier[sr]one had you not married her. [k] @Semiramis In exchange for her hand,[sr]you will end your days in desperation. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @??? ...Yes. I know. [k] @???

That was my ex-husband.[sr]In modern terms, we used to...hook up? No, that sounds...wrong. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Semiramis I was all alone at the time, so I didn't care what[sr]he was like as long as he was willing to marry me... [k] @Semiramis ...but he was a far better man than I had ever imagined. I'd been prepared for the worst, so it was shocking how easily we got along. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Semiramis ...Of course, as I alluded to earlier,[sr]our end was not a happy one. [k] @Semiramis There was a man by the name of Ninus who[sr]fell in love with me the moment he saw me. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Semiramis Ninus took me from Onnes, and Onnes ended up taking his own life in despair. [k] ?1:So you wanted to change the past to help him? [charaFace B 0] @Semiramis ...No. I would never be who I am[sr]now if he had not married me. [k] ?2:So you wanted to see what a different future might have been like? [charaFace B 0] @Semiramis There may have been a future where[sr]he did not end up dying in misery. [k] @Semiramis But in that future, I would have been lost to history,[sr]never having had a name. [k] ?! @Semiramis Still...this old man is an indelible part of my memories. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Semiramis I merely thought that,[sr]if it were possible to save him... [k] @Semiramis ...I might even go so far as to entrance a saint. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Semiramis Hmph, I need not have bothered.[sr]People never change. [k] @Semiramis They hold fast to ideals of change,[sr]yet also see beauty in remaining steadfast. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Semiramis In the end, any change is but illusion.[sr]An illusion that it seems I fell prey to, however briefly. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Shakespeare Hmm. [k] @Shakespeare It seems there is a greater story there,[sr]but I doubt it has anything to do with me. [k] @Shakespeare So, if you had chosen differently, you could have lived out your life peacefully, as one of the common folk. [k] [charaFace D 1] @Shakespeare I would have thought that idea would hold great appeal for an empress, and yet you dismissed it out of hand! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Semiramis Of course. [k] [charaFace B 9] @Semiramis I am happy enough as a Servant.[sr]I need not seek my happiness elsewhere. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Semiramis I am sorry for bringing you along on this, Master.[sr]It seems this was a waste of time. [k] ?1:I don't mind. ?! [charaFace B 1] @Semiramis Hehe, you are a simple one, aren't you.[sr]I will see that you receive some sort of reward. [k] @Semiramis Hmm, what should it be...[sr]No doubt you are tired of chocolate by now...
