[k] @Moriarty This little dilemma of ours was[sr]a fusion of two separate occasions. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Moriarty The first, a time when a partnership I struck with mages destroyed this city. The second, a time when a Subspecies Holy Grail War took place...somewhere. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 0.7] ?1:Did this turn out the way you hoped? ?! [charaFace A 3] @Moriarty ...A fair question. [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_11 0.1] [charaFace A 0] @Moriarty The man I met with requested my help in protecting a treasure that had been in his family for generations. [k] @Moriarty I offered him several pieces of advice. [k] @Moriarty ...Once you've fanned the flames between the[sr]gangs as much as you can, fake your own death. [k] @Moriarty Convince the gangs that the relic is up for grabs now that you're dead, and that owning it will be their key to riches. [k] @Moriarty After that, all you need to do is take[sr]their thugs out whenever it's convenient. [k] @Moriarty But I didn't know he was a mage when I told him that...and as a result, the city quickly declined and ultimately faded away. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Moriarty ...Of course, as a criminal mastermind, my role[sr]in these events did not trouble my conscience. [k] [charaFace A 2] @Moriarty But now that I'm your Servant,[sr]it's been eating away at me! [k] @Moriarty I swear, young [&man:lady], you have no idea how difficult[sr]it is to be an evil Servant in the service of such a very GOOD Master! [k] [charaFace A 0] @Moriarty ...At any rate, when I looked back on this[sr]outcome...I chalked it up to a careless mistake. [k] @Moriarty An awful turn of events,[sr]brought about by a few miscalculations. [k] @Moriarty Of course, even now that we've changed the past,[sr]this remains firmly in the realm of the hypothetical. [k] @Moriarty History remains the same, as does its outcome. What we partook in here was merely an illusion...purely for my own gratification. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Moriarty I assure you, I'm well aware of that. [k] @Moriarty ...Yet even so, I needed to be certain this[sr]error was affixed permanently in my memory. [k] @Moriarty I needed to remind myself that[sr]a bright future such as this... [k] [charaFace A 0] @Moriarty ...can come to a sudden,[sr]cruel end with but a single mistake. [k] @Moriarty ...Even if I should parse the records upon waking up,[sr]that still won't change what really happened.
