[k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_24 1.5 0.5] @Rama You're cursed, aren't you? [k] ?1:Cursed!? ?2:...Did you just say “cursed”? ?! @Rama That's right. Of course, there are many different kinds of curses, but for this, I believe I know what is at work. [k] @Rama Even as we speak, this curse is tormenting Aśvatthāman... [k] @Rama ...or rather, his Servant Spirit Origin, relentlessly. [k] @Rama This curse must be so powerful that not even a great warrior like him can remove it. [k] @Rama I expect it is directly rooted in his destiny... [k] @Rama A curse so deeply tied to his heroics that it is inevitable he would fall prey to it.

[charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 0] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] ?! @Captain ...It's something that happened towards the end of the great war depicted in the Mahabharata. [k] @Captain Aśvatthāman was overcome with anger at his father's murder, and in a cowardly act of retribution, he snuck into the enemy camp and killed them all in their sleep. [k] @Captain Afterwards, he fired an arrow at the stomach of the pregnant mother of what would have been the last child of the Kuru... [k] @Captain ...but Krishna protected the baby and placed a dreadful curse upon Aśvatthāman's head in retaliation. [k] @Captain One interpretation says that the curse would last for three thousand years, during which he would be forced to endure all manner of pain and suffering. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Peperoncino I would definitely have noticed if he'd been cursed like that when I first summoned him. [k] @Peperoncino So Arjuna must have put the curse on him AFTER he stole my Master contract from me. [k] @Peperoncino It would be well within his power,[sr]since he also possesses Krishna's Divinity. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 25] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Aha. Now it all adds up. [k] @Da Vinci Aśvatthāman, your immortality comes from being born with Yama and Shiva's power, and the curse you're dealing with now is too strong for you to remove on your own. [k] @Da Vinci So you're trapped in a prison of endless suffering,[sr]and death offers no escape.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 4] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Ganesha Then...does that mean you have to do what Arjuna says, or he won't undo the curse? [k] @Ganesha That IS pretty rough. [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Aśvatthāman ...Shut up. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Peperoncino At the very least, I can imagine that curse going away once Arjuna finally has his so-called perfect world. [k] @Peperoncino Though either way, I guess that doesn't leave you much choice but to cooperate with him...
