[k] @Loving Father Though unfortunately,[sr]I don't know what her intentions were in doing so. [k] [charaFace B 10] @Loving Father When I discovered this,[sr]I was confronted with several options. [k] @Loving Father I knew that freezing them and sealing them away for good would be the safest plan as far as humanity was concerned. [k] @Loving Father But the goddess had made a choice to divide herself, and that had to mean something. So, I felt sealing the halves away would be wrong. [k] @Loving Father That's why I decided to raise one half as my daughter,[sr]and let the other half stay asleep. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Loving Father Part of that was because, practically speaking, it would have been tremendously difficult to raise two children all on my own... [k] @Loving Father ...but it was also because raising two children with such different dispositions would cause a great deal of discord. [k] [charaFace B 10] @Loving Father That just left one question:[sr]Which half do I raise? [k] @Loving Father Obviously, a goddess of good would naturally gravitate towards doing good. [k] @Loving Father The moment she woke up, she would find herself loved and accepted by people everywhere. [k] @Loving Father Conversely, a goddess of evil would,[sr]of course, be a threat to our galactic peace. [k] @Loving Father Her very existence would surely[sr]lead people to fear and reject her. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Loving Father ... [k] @Loving Father I have spent years devoted to my cold, calculated work to bring peace to all humanity. As such, the obvious choice would be to raise the good half. [k] [charaFace B 10] @Loving Father But...I felt like that wouldn't[sr]be the right choice either. [k] @Loving Father I decided that only a more difficult[sr]path would be appropriate. [k] @Loving Father A path that no one would have ever taken. [k] @Loving Father It was a lot like how Jane feels when she gets the urge to visit unexplored planets... [k] @Loving Father ...or how I became genuinely enthralled with archaeology after originally adopting it as a cover. [k] @Loving Father Our very existence as humans leads us to constantly try to learn new things and relearn things that we once lost. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Loving Father It would be easy to expel the evil half just for being evil, but that would also leave us no better off than we were before. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Loving Father So I decided I wanted to extol the virtues of love to the evil goddess, to treat her as a person in her own right, and to have her learn what true happiness is. [k] @Loving Father So my choice was made, and I woke the evil half up. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Loving Father Ever since then, every day has been more joyous and fulfilling than I can adequately put into words. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Loving Father She grew up into a beautiful girl, even more than I had dared hope for. She...is my pride and joy. [k] [messageOff] [scene 10000 1.0] [wt 1.5] [charaFace B 0] @Loving Father All right, that concludes my message. [k] @Loving Father What you do with these facts now is up to you. [k] @Loving Father You could keep them to yourself, or you could forget them all if you decide they're not worth the trouble. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Loving Father Then why bother leaving a message at all, you say? Hahaha, let's just say we doting dads can't help but stick our noses into our children's business. [k] [charaFace B 9] @Loving Father Since I figured you would be traveling with her someday, I thought you should hear her whole story. [k] @Loving Father Anyway, I think I've talked enough now. I hope you and my daughter have a great adventure together. [k] [messageOff] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_1 2.3] [wt 2.0] [fadeout black 2.0] [seStop ade373 2.0] [wait fade] [wt 1.0] [soundStopAll] [end]
