[k] @ ...Like hell they are. [k] @ There's a part of me that insists this will never be enough to convince them. [k] @ I expect that part looks an awful lot like my younger self. [k] @ I'm under no optimistic delusion that the future is full of hope. [k] @ But, I WAS absolutely certain that my long-standing feuds would one day be settled once and for all. [k] @ It's only now that I'm getting up there in years that I finally understand. [k] @ Sometimes, fate has a way of thoughtlessly disrupting even the most long-standing of feuds. [k] @ One can almost hear it saying so-called destinies like that don't matter one whit compared to the world at large. [k] @ As far as the world is concerned, maybe it was a meaningful death. [k] @ As far as the world is concerned, maybe it was a meaningful battle. [k] @ But even if the world thinks so, that doesn't mean I'll agree. [k] @ I was left behind. He left me behind in service of something greater, more important. [k] @ Normally, that would infuriate me beyond belief. But in reality, I feel nothing. [k] @ The only emotions I can muster are disappointment, dismay, and discouragement. [k] @ I no longer have the passion of youth, but there is one important thing I do have.

[bgm BGM_EVENT_116 0.1] @Moriarty Hm? Oh, that's easy. [k] @Moriarty I don't actually have any great affection for Chaldea itself. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Moriarty Hm, no, I suppose that's not quite right. Perhaps I should say that I don't trust it implicitly. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Moriarty No, the ones I trust and have affection for... [k] @Moriarty ...are you and Mash, [%1]. [k] @Moriarty As for Sherlock Holmes, I may not like him, but I do trust him. [k] [charaFace A 2] @Moriarty Though I'm certainly loath to admit it! Anyway, that covers my remaining twenty percent. Satisfied? [k] ?1:Thanks, Professor! ?! [charaFace A 1] @Moriarty You're quite welcome, my wicked student![sr]Er, I assure you, I'm only joking.

[k] @ Whether those things are good or evil, they only continue to grow in number. [k] @ In regards to these two young people running ahead of me... [k] @ ...I feel emotions that I can only describe as “half-hearted.” Or maybe “gentle”is a better world. [k] @ Either way, it was those emotions that made me hesitate in my showdown with Holmes, right up to the last moment. [k] @ And now, even though I do feel bad about his disappearance, I have no desire to cast everything aside and look for him. [k] @ The concept of myself as a being of pure, unadulterated evil is a thing of the distant past now. [k] @ Just as the great detective disappeared here, my villainous self died with him. [k] @ All that remains is a tired old man, carrying an untold number of burdens, laughing derisively at the various crimes he has committed. [k] @ Still, I've decided that, as long as Chaldea has a use for my skills, I will stay here and offer them. [k] @ I wonder if I'll ever be able to convey[line 2]or if they'll ever realize for themselves... [k] [messageOff] [wt 0.5] @ ...that living is an inherently messy endeavor, devoid of clear lines and easy answers. [k] @ And, even if people lose the purity they once had, that doesn't mean they'll forever be irreparably damaged goods. [k] @ Ahh, what a comforting thought. It's okay to not be pure. It's okay if things are messy and not clear-cut. [k] @ It's enough to make me consider encouraging them to go down the path of impurity and depravity while deriding innocence and sublimation as things nobody needs. [k] @ I suppose that sort of thinking is what makes me a villain. [k] [messageOff] [charaFaceFade D 1 0.5] [wt 1.0] @ But, on the other hand...maybe it's not always bad to be bad.
