[k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Tristan By all means, go right ahead. [k] [charaFace F 6] ＠Tristan (I'll be the one who decides the real[sr]ending no matter who else goes before me.) [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] ＠Ryouma Thanks. Okay, here's what I've got. [k] [messageOff] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.0] [wt 1.5] [charaFace G 6] [bgm BGM_MAP_6 0.1] ＠Ryouma I've been thinking about why Roma Kureishi came here,[sr]and what he hoped to accomplish. [k] ＠Ryouma Roma used to serve the nation's military, and reported directly to Miguel himself. He surely had plenty of official avenues for success if he had chosen to pursue them. [k] ＠Ryouma But instead, he chose to leave and practice medicine in a small town, even though the work of creating a new country had to have been much more interesting. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Arash Good point... It sounds like he must've[sr]been sick and tired of war by then. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] ＠Ryouma Exactly. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Arash So that probably means Roma wouldn't ever want[sr]to see Miguel again if he could help it... [k] ＠Arash ...'cause that would only bring[sr]back painful memories for him. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] ＠Ryouma That's my guess too. But despite all that,[sr]he still chose to attend Miguel's funeral. [k] [charaFace G 6] ＠Ryouma He must've had some reason for that...and I don't think it had anything to do with money. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 6] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] ＠Salieri Given how close he was to Miguel, Roma would know more about Cortés's legacy than anyone other than Miguel himself. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 6] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] ＠Ryouma Right. And there's more to the legacy than just treasure. It's also packed with all kinds of sensitive documents. [k] ＠Ryouma I think Roma wanted to find it because he believed it contained the truth about his friend's disappearance. [k] [charaFace G 4] ＠Ryouma If it turned out his friend was actually living a happy life somewhere else, great. [k] ＠Ryouma And in the more likely event that he wasn't...at least he would have some closure. [k] [charaFace G 6] ＠Ryouma He couldn't turn to the police, since the unstable government still had its hands full maintaining order and developing the new nation. [k] ＠Ryouma So he decided to slip Gabriela a drug... [k] ＠Ryouma ...and take advantage of the ensuing investigation to explore the Meihousou and look for Cortés's legacy. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 5] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] ＠Tristan So then, how did he get the drug into her drink?

Of course it would be impossible to make sure she chose just the right glass. [k] ＠Ryouma Especially since, as the host, she would[sr]inevitably end up with the last one. [k] ＠Ryouma So here's what I'm thinking: Gabriela was already at peak exhaustion thanks to being far outside her comfort zone for so long.

The wine she drank was just the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. [k] ＠Ryouma Roma figured this out after a quick examination, and thought up a way to take advantage of her unconsciousness. [k] ＠Ryouma He pretended to give her an antidote, while actually giving her a powerful sedative. [k] [charaFace G 0] ＠Ryouma As a doctor, that's something only I could[sr]have pulled off, don't you think?

Izo lived and died by the sword.[sr]It was everything to him. [k] ＠Ryouma There's no way he wouldn't keep up his training,[sr]even if he lost all of his memories. [k] [charaFace E 8] ＠Mash (I don't have the heart to remind Ryouma that Izo and Daizou aren't actually the same person...)

[k] [charaScale A 1.5] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.4 1] ＠Ryouma When Murasaki first explained my character to me, she said that Roma Kureishi was a sansei, a third-generation Japanese immigrant. [k] ＠Ryouma And I'm not alone. This country is home to a relatively large number of people with similar backgrounds. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.4] [wt 0.5] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.4 1] ＠Ryouma Izo's character's full name is Daizou Oka.[sr]Needless to say, it's also a Japanese name. [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout F 0.4] [wt 0.4] [charaScale B 1.5] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.4 1] ＠Ryouma Munenori's character was named Ryu Tan. His last name might be Chinese, or it might have originally been the Japanese name “Tani” changed during immigration. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.4] ＠Ryouma These names might be simple,[sr]but they still follow definite rules. [k] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.4 1] ＠Ryouma Even my character's family name, Kureishi,[sr]has precedent in real life. [k] ？1：I think it means “nightfall stone” or something...? ？！ [charaFace G 7] ＠Ryouma Pretty much, yes.

[k] ＠Ryouma So my theory is that Gabriela is actually Daizou's younger sister, and Miguel changed her name when he took her in. [k] ＠Ryouma Though I admit that might be a bit of a stretch. [k] ＠Jeanne Alter Eh, the audience would just have to use their imagination to fill in the gaps, I guess.

We know from the earlier scenes that Roma got his hands on some top-secret documents. [k] ＠Ryouma I didn't give them much thought during that scene,[sr]but I think I've got a good idea for them now. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaDepth B 10] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Moriarty Oh? It looks like someone's getting[sr]quite accustomed to improvisation.

[k] ＠Ryouma I think Daizou's the kind of guy who would go down swinging, making sure to take as many enemies with him as he could. [k] ＠Ryouma But if he'd died in a blaze of glory like that,[sr]Roma would have long since heard about it, right? [k] [charaScale A 0.8] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 350,-150] ＠Arash And if he'd already heard about it, he wouldn't have come all this way looking for answers. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.4] ＠Ryouma So if he died quietly, that would inevitably mean an incredibly skilled swordsman must have killed him in secret. [k] ＠Ryouma ...And I can only think of one[sr]character who fits that bill. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaScale D 0.8] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 7] [charaFadein D 0.1 350,-150] [charaFace C 0] [charaScale C 1.5] ＠Jeanne Alter ...Oh![wt 0.3][charaFadein C 0.4 1][sr]You mean General Tan? [k] ＠Ryouma From Miguel's perspective, both Tan and Daizou were forces to be reckoned with who could turn on him at any time. [k] ＠Ryouma So naturally, he'd want them to take each other out. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaFace E 12] [charaFadein E 0.1 350,-150] ＠Mash That seems like it would be much easier said than done. [k] ＠Ryouma True, General Tan didn't seem like anyone's fool,[sr]and I doubt he would fight without good cause. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaScale B 0.8] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 350,-150] ＠Moriarty Yes, well, considering who was playing him, I'm not surprised you came away with that impression... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.4] ＠Ryouma So if one of them were going to challenge the other, it would be Daizou. And he seems like he'd be a lot easier to manipulate, don't you think? [k] ＠Ryouma If we'd filmed it, I imagine that[sr]scene could go something like: [k] [charaScale H 1.5] [charaFace H 5] [charaFadein H 0.4 0,0] ＠Ryouma “Kill General Tan, and I swear on my life that I will see your sister cared for and protected.” [k] ＠Ryouma Then they fight, and end up killing each other.
