[k] [charaFace H 0] @Rani-XII The reason there is such a difference between you two and her is that, well... [k] @Rani-XII ...she was already in a state of mind that made her very easy to copy.

[k] [charaFace H 8] @Rani-XII I can only guess, but I believe she may have already been slightly mentally unstable, such that it would be easy for a fragment of her personality to be detached.

[charaFace E 3] @Elron So, there you have it. I was the one who opened the gate and let them in. [k] @Elron As I look back on it, that was our last chance to stop all of this from happening. [k] @Elron I keep dreaming about how things would be different if I'd just realized something was off back then... [k] ?1:Hey, come on. There's no way you could have known. ?2:It's not just you. We were all prepared to let them in. ?! [charaFace E 12] @Elron I know. [k] @Elron We were all writing up documents, getting ready for court hearings... And Director Musik's takeover was completely legal. [k] @Elron Hell, he was tricked just like the rest of us, for that matter. So I know we were basically destined to end up here. [k] [charaFace E 22] @Elron But even so... Even so! [k] @Elron I can't help but think about what would've happened if I hadn't hit that button. [k] @Elron The fact is, I pushed us across that final line between this happening and not happening. [k] @Elron And I just can't get that out of my head. [k] [charaFace E 3] @Elron Maybe I could've noticed something was off with Koyanskaya and told them the gate was acting up or something. [k] @Elron Maybe I could've then talked to one of the higher-ups, and things would've turned out differently. [k] @Elron Maybe, if things had gone differently, he would've made it onto the Border, too... [k] [charaFace E 22] @Elron ...and I wouldn't have broken my promise to have dinner with him! [k] @Elron There's so many possibilities all swirling around my head. I can't just forget what happened. [k] [charaFace E 3] @Elron I mean...I'm a record keeper. I write journals for fun, and my family's lineage of memory magecraft never lets me forget anything. [k] @Elron That's why I can't get rid of this guilt. [k] @Elron All the time, I've got this giant ball of guilt making me wonder how things could've gone differently if I'd just been a little more careful. [k] @Elron I've talked about this in therapy. Maybe everyone else here already knew how guilty I feel. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Elron Hell, maybe even you noticed at some point. [k] @Elron But, right now, for some reason...I got the urge to tell you myself. I...wanted to apologize to your face. [k] @Elron So please, let me say this. [k] @Elron I know it's selfish of me, but, I just have to get these words out. [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.0] [charaFace E 3] @Elron ...I'm sorry. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_95 1.5] [messageOff] [wt 2.0] ?1:...You have nothing to apologize for. ?! ?1:And that guilt you're carrying around... ?! ?1:...we all share it, too. ?!
