[k] ＠ That these other personalities that still exist despite being ignored and repressed want nothing more than to come to the forefront. [k] ＠ Maybe the very expression of that desire is what makes Alter Egos what they are.

[k] ＠Sion Now that I have analyzed Rani-XII and determined how she came about... [k] ＠Sion ...it is clear this incident was one of the Ordeal Calls that man told us about. [k] ＠Sion Still, quite a surprise to see so much distortion built up on the Paper Moon, of all places. [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Sion It may not have risen to the level of the Seven Taboos, but if I had been a little more diligent, maybe we would have discovered this distortion before it became a problem. [k] ＠Sion As I am meant to be the Paper Moon's caretaker, this has been a humbling experience. [k] [charaFace B 11] ＠Sion The only positive is that, despite being taken by surprise, we were still able to resolve the situation. [k] ＠Sion Everything else simply demonstrates how much room we have for improvement. [k] ＠Sion And thanks to my frequent use of Memory Partition, I can recall the whole experience clearly. [k] [charaFace B 5] ＠Sion In fact, I wonder if I am the only one who does. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Sion Hmm... Kama is also accustomed to existing as multiple versions of herself. [k] [charaFace B 10] ＠Sion I would not be surprised if she remembers too, but I think I will be merciful and not bring it up. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Sion As for Ms. Elron and [%1], I would[sr]expect their memories are subconscious at best. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.4] [messageOff] [charaCrossFade B 1098158210 14 0.4] [wait charaCrossFade B] ＠Sion Still, an opportunity like this does not come along every day, so I may as well go over it as a thought experiment. [k] [bgm BGM_REQUIEM 0.1] ＠Sion We were brought into the Paper Moon's world during the first spin of the Alter Ego generating centrifuge. [k] [masterBranch _Male _Female] [label _Male] ＠Sion It is therefore extremely likely that[sr][%1] was an Alter Ego, too. [k] [branch _branchEnd] [label _Female] ＠Sion It is therefore extremely likely that[sr][%1] was an Alter Ego, too. [k] [branch _branchEnd] [label _branchEnd] [charaFace B 13] ＠Sion But what kind of Alter Ego was [&he:she]? [k] [charaFace B 11] ＠Sion [&His:Her] poor condition when we first entered that world[sr]may be a hint. [k] ＠Sion [&He:She] was in bad enough shape that [&he:she] could barely[sr]fight without help from my Etherlite. [k] ＠Sion So, [&he:she] was in suboptimal physical condition for[sr]reasons unknown, and there was a discrepancy between[sr][&his:her] mind and body. Put all this together and...[sr]Ah, now I see.

[k] [charaFace C 10] ＠Sion Yes, I like that idea. In fact, I certainly hope[sr][&he:she] has such a side to [&him:her] somewhere. [k] [charaFace C 1] ＠Sion Ideally, no human should ever want to fight more than is necessary. [k] ＠Sion If [&he:she] lacks that trait, then [&he:she] will never be able[sr]to go back to a normal life once the fighting is over. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Sion Let us try the opposite approach. [k] ＠Sion If a given person was excited about fighting a battle for the fate of the world, and was neither hesitant nor concerned about it... [k] ＠Sion If that person did not have the slightest trace of a personality that would push them to avoid fighting where necessary... [k] [charaFace C 13] ＠Sion That person would be a Berserker in human form. Something about them would have to be broken. [k] ＠Sion Such a person would never be able to return to a normal life after the fighting ended. They would continue to seek bloodshed wherever they went. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Sion But fortunately, [%1] has also[sr]demonstrated the strong likelihood that [&he:she] will not go down that path. [k] ＠Sion That is good. That is how [&he:she] should be. [k] [charaFace C 16] ＠Sion Well, when [&he:she] used Medusa's virtual Noble Phantasm[sr]Mystic Code to fight back [&himself:herself]... [k] ＠Sion ...I did also see that [&he:she] was completely unafraid[sr]to stand on the front line...but the one does not cancel out the other. [k] ＠Sion There are times in many people's lives when they end up loving someone despite trying to avoid it... [k] ＠Sion ...and when they fight in hope of not having to fight again. [k] [charaFace C 15] ＠Sion ...Of course, if [&he:she] IS willing to fight despite[sr]being sick of fighting as long as [&he:she] has sufficient[sr]reason... [k] ＠Sion ...that is a worrying possibility unto itself. [k] ＠Sion But there is probably nothing we can do there except encourage [&him:her] to continue seeing a therapist.

[k] ＠Sion Using that as a hint... [k] ＠Sion ...maybe it was a version of [&him:her] which was not the[sr]last Master of humankind, and was not responsible for the world's fate. [k] ＠Sion Maybe that version of [&him:her] was just an ordinary Master. [k] [charaFace D 11] ＠Sion An Alter Ego who was just looking to take it easy for once. [k] ＠Sion Hmm. That one seems unlikely. [k] [charaFace D 6] ＠Sion Of course, ultimately, this is all just conjecture. [k] [charaFace D 12] ＠Sion It could simply be that [&he:she] was pulled into that[sr]world because [&he:she] was a Master with Command Spells... [k] ＠Sion ...and that [&he:she] was the one exception that was never[sr]made into an Alter Ego at all. [k] ＠Sion In that case, [&his:her] poor physical condition could be[sr]chalked up as a simple reconstruction error during the import process. [k] [charaFace D 10] ＠Sion I think I would give that one about fifty-fifty odds.

[k] ＠Sion Right now, I need to reflect on my own mistakes. [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Sion Like the fact that I took advantage of my childhood appearance... [k] ＠Sion ...to use that “thread” I threw away because it was simply too unethical to rely on. [k] ＠Sion Talk about a black mark. [k] [charaFace B 12] ＠Sion Anyway...I suppose I failed to realize I still had these feelings. [k] [charaFace B 16] ＠Sion Even though I had long since come to the conclusion that I should not be their friend... [k] ＠Sion ...it seems there is still a childish part of me who wants to, regardless. [k] [charaFace B 5] ＠Sion That simply will not do. I had better excise this memory permanently.
