[charaFace B 15]

I could never be one myself. Not when I'm no more than poison in human form, forced to always remain at arm's length from...everyone.

Then why were you singing?
[k]

[charaFace B 0]

I was just dabbling really. I thought, if I'd been born a different person, in a brighter, sunnier place...maybe this is what I would have liked to do.

And then, you came along... And you listened to me without any fear at all.

I received a message from that expert storyteller woman.

[charaFace A 6]
＠Nitocris
O-oh, I see! So Scheherazade sent you here!
[k]

[charaFace D 1]
＠Ozymandias
You performed magnificently during the Grail Concert! I therefore decided to come see your next show.
[k]

[charaFace D 5]
＠Ozymandias
But now, you say you wish to cancel?[sr]What is the meaning of this, Nitocris!?
[k]

[charaFace A 4]
＠Nitocris
Y-yes, you have every right to be angry[line 2][wt 0.9][charaFace A 3]Huh?[sr]Y-you were watching the Grail Concert?
[k]

[charaFace D 0]
＠Ozymandias
Of course. While I have no interest in idols,[sr]you are not just any idol. You are a pharaoh.
[k]

[charaFace D 9]
＠Ozymandias
A pharaoh should never make a spectacle of themselves by singing and dancing in front of an audience! I intended to reduce this city to ashes if what I saw displeased me!
[k]

＠Nitocris
Oh gosh, oh gosh...!
[k]

[charaFace D 6]
＠Ozymandias
However.
[k]

＠Ozymandias
Once I saw you and your partner on that stage adored by countless throngs, I understood.
[k]

[charaFace A 4]
＠Nitocris
Huh?
[k]

[charaFace D 0]
＠Ozymandias
I see now that your performance is but another way of revealing your glory to the masses. That much was clear from the looks on their faces.
[k]

[charaFace D 1]
＠Ozymandias
Every pharaoh rules in the way they see fit. I am most impressed with the way you chose to rule, Pharaoh Nitocris.
[k]

[charaFace A 3]
＠Nitocris
Y-you're far too kind, Pharaoh Ozymandias!
[k]

[charaFace D 0]
＠Ozymandias
Now, why are you canceling today's performance? Explain.
[k]

[charaFace A 4]

Oh, yes. Well...

You're right. I have no excuse...
[k]

＠Nitocris
But you see, great Pharaoh,[sr]I just don't know what I should say to her.
[k]

＠Nitocris
Maybe she's right. Maybe it would be for the best if Dreams Gone Girls's own dream were to die out now...
[k]

[charaFace D 9]
＠Ozymandias
Absolutely not! Giving up after a single defeat? Disgraceful! I won't stand for it!
[k]

[charaFace D 5]

However, if you truly wish to retire your group, that is a different story.
[k]

＠Nitocris
I...
[k]

[charaFace D 0]
＠Ozymandias
Go on.
[k]

＠Nitocris
I... I still want to perform. I want to console people by showing them that endings can be kind and gentle.
[k]

＠Ozymandias
Then go find the poison girl. Quickly!

[charaFace D 4]

When you find her, stay with her.[sr]That is all there is to it.

[charaFace D 6]

Personally, I would have her pay for such a treasonous transgression against me with her life...
[k]

[charaFace D 7]
＠Ozymandias
But I suspect you have your own manner of doing things.
[k]

＠Nitocris
But, what do I do if she runs away from me again?
[k]

[charaFace A 6]
＠Nitocris
...No, you're right![wt 0.5][charaFace A 2] If she tries, it'll just be[sr]up to me to stop her!

[charaFace D 1]
＠Ozymandias
Well said! However, do not forget that you are dealing with a first-rate assassin. So to save you the trouble of looking for her...
