＠
[lr]I observed the world's destruction. I calculated a way to avoid it.
[k]

＠
I made a plan... Put it into action... And it still wasn't enough. My calculations were mistaken.
[k]

＠
Where did I go wrong?
[k]

＠
Back when I was still a formless being, my only job was to protect this tiny Paper Moon world.
[k]

＠
I was nothing more than a little program with the duty, ability, and drive to govern that world.
[k]

＠
But then, at some point, a distortion no one noticed appeared nearby.

＠
A distortion in the great summoning system the humans were so intimately familiar with...
[k]

＠
...and in the even greater current to which that system is connected.
[k]

＠
And like a magnet moving iron sand inside a paper box, that distortion had an effect on me, too.
[k]

＠
The next thing I knew, I'd been cut off and found myself here.
[k]

＠
I think this version of me is one who felt she had to save this world.
[k]

＠
Another self, hidden within me as I managed this world.
[k]

＠
A me who wasn't interested in enduring, repairing, negotiating with, or ignoring the impending threat...
[k]

＠
...but who felt she had to take proactive measures to fight, to save the world.
[k]

＠
Then, she[line 2]I, had another thought: Is this world the only one I need to protect?
[k]

＠
I couldn't stop thinking about the question, so I turned my attention to the outside world.
[k]

＠
Its bleak, desolate landscape mirrored that of the Paper Moon.

So I thought I needed to govern that world, too. That I had to fight to save it.

＠
The duty was already mine. I already had the ability and drive to govern this world.

So I ran the numbers, and tried to save it.

I'm asking you because that query is too difficult to answer myself. The equation is incredibly complicated.
[k]

＠Rani-XII
I do understand that you are attempting to use your own body...
[k]

[charaFace A 1]
＠Rani-XII
...to get the energy that is actively destroying my programming under control.
[k]

[charaFace A 11]
＠Rani-XII
But I also understand that you are doing so by directly connecting your body to mine via a specialized filament that is capable of transmitting special kinds of data...
[k]

＠Rani-XII
...even though we each function on fundamentally incompatible standards.
[k]

[charaFace A 10]
＠Rani-XII
If what you are doing fails, you'll be destroyed along with me. In fact, even as we speak, your very life is being drained.

If you're successful at connecting your nervous system to my pseudo one and rewriting my admin privileges...

...Hehe. Yes, but there would be no point in doing that.
[k]

＠Sion
I certainly do not need to be an outsider here as well.
[k]

[charaFace B 8]
＠Sion
Yes, that is right. My real self has no right to call herself [%1]'s friend.
[k]

[charaFace B 1]
＠Sion
By the time I worked up my courage, it was too late. I missed my window, as they say.

[charaFace B 10]
＠Sion
Sion Eltnam is not a member of [&his:her] team. She is a spectator...or at best, a cheerleader.
[k]

＠Sion
So I am sure my real self will continue to maintain walls between her and Chaldea.
[k]

[charaFace B 6]
＠Sion
Because I calculated that, at the very end, there will be something that must be done which will require an outsider to do.
[k]

[charaFace B 8]
＠Sion
But that is not currently the case. There is something else I can do here. Now.
[k]

[charaFace B 9]

＠Sion
Right now, I am a different version of myself.
[k]

＠Sion
An alternate future self created when I was caught up in this accident. A me that cut off the wisdom from my grown-up self.
[k]

＠Sion
My personality here can only exist as part of the dreamworld resting atop the Paper Moon.
[k]

＠Sion
A trick my mind is playing only because of all those disparate elements coming together in one place.
[k]

[charaFace B 10]

＠Sion
Yes... Though I may only be [%1]'s cheerleader in the outside world...
