[k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman The Singularity was a good deal more difficult this time around. Nobody expected this would turn out to be a battle against an actual military force. [k] @Dr. Roman [%1] could've run away, or hidden.[sr]But [&he didn't:she didn't] give up. [k] @Dr. Roman [&He's:She's] got a long way to go yet as a mage, but as a Master [&he's:she's] doing well. [k] @Dr. Roman At this rate, it won't be long until [&he:she] becomes Chaldea's most famous Master. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Da Vinci You look so proud. It's good to see you putting your trust in others. [k] @Da Vinci But are you sure about this?[sr]Shouldn't we tell them... something, at least? [k] @Da Vinci There are many kinds of secrets, but yours is basically a lie of omission at this point. [k] @Da Vinci If you think about it logically, when the truth about the relationship between you and the previous director comes to light, [%1] might hate you. [k] [charaFace C 10] @Dr. Roman Uh... Well, yeah. Still, I can't tell them. [k] [charaFace C 5] @Dr. Roman If the man claiming to be Solomon really is Solomon, that very secret will be our trump card. [k] @Dr. Roman But if the enemy learns the truth, and has time to prepare... we'll lose our advantage. I won't tell[sr][%1] even to the very end. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Da Vinci I see. Well, I guess that makes sense. It really is only effective if the enemy doesn't know. If that's what you've decided, I suppose I'll play along. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Dr. Roman That would be helpful, thank you. [k] @Dr. Roman It's not that I don't trust [%1].[sr]It's just, considering the circumstances... [k] [messageOff] [charaFace C 10] [wt 1.0] [charaFace C 6] @Dr. Roman I'm an awful person. I'm leaving [%1] in the dark about the most important thing... [k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman But I'm glad [&he:she] came to Chaldea.[sr]A normal person, and not a mage. [k] @Dr. Roman ...Yeah. Da Vinci, instead of a prominent genius like you saving humanity, [k] @Dr. Roman it would be better for an ordinary, purehearted person like [&him:her] to save the world, with the help of those around [&him:her]... [k] @Dr. Roman Wouldn't that be more of a display of mankind's worth and value? [k] @Dr. Roman That's what King Solomon believed.[sr]And I think so, too. [k] [charaFace C 6] @Dr. Roman Though... King Solomon and I are practically different people at this point. After all, he didn't have any human sentiments. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Da Vinci ...? What does that mean? Are you saying he was cold and heartless until the end? [k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman No, it's something far simpler. [k] @Dr. Roman You see, every hero starts off human. [k] @Dr. Roman They might have the blood of a god, or be the subject of a prophecy, but few are ever born heroes. [k] @Dr. Roman First, they live human lives. They live as normal people until something pushes them beyond that, and they become true heroes[line 2]and become inhuman. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Da Vinci That's right. Sure, I was born a genius, but I lived a quiet life until I was old enough to make my own decisions. [k] @Da Vinci It felt natural[line 2]good, even[line 2]to be praised as a genius, but the experiences of my youth were irreplaceable. [k] @Da Vinci Once you become a hero, you're no longer free.[sr]True freedom only lasts for as long as you're human. [k] @Da Vinci That's true for all Heroic Spirits. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Da Vinci ...Wait a minute. Are you saying King Solomon... [k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman Yeah, you got it. There was never a time when Solomon was human. [k] @Dr. Roman From birth, he was treated as a king who could hear the voice of God. The people wanted him to be king, and so he became one. [k] @Dr. Roman He was said to be a king of many loves, but in truth, they were all desired by the people around him, not for his own sake. [k] @Dr. Roman He was not free for a single second of his life. [k] @Dr. Roman He may have had the power to see everything, but he was forbidden to give his own opinions on anything. [k] @Dr. Roman Solomon was more a mechanism than a man, one made by God and mankind to better their great kingdom. [k] @Dr. Roman There's nothing humane about him at all. [k] @Dr. Roman He died without ever really experiencing the world as a man. He was never afforded the freedom that is “humanity.” [k] [charaFace B 0] @Da Vinci So that's why you wished to be human. [k] @Da Vinci You can't interact with the real world as a Heroic Spirit. That's why many Servants wish to be incarnated. [k] @Da Vinci Solomon didn't want to rule again.[sr]He just wanted to be human. [k] @Da Vinci He wanted to know what human freedom was like so badly... He wanted what every other Heroic Spirit experienced in life. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Dr. Roman Yes. And so he was reborn... as me.[sr]King Solomon's wish was granted! [k] @Dr. Roman My time as Romani Archaman has been wonderful. [k] @Dr. Roman My Magical Circuits were gone, my Clairvoyance was gone, and I was able to be truly free and live however I wished! [k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman This time I've had, it's been like a dream.[sr]It was exactly what I wanted. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Da Vinci ... [k] [charaFace B 2] @Da Vinci By the way, how'd you get the nickname “Roman”?[sr]Was it a coincidence? [k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman No way. Of course it meant something. [k] @Dr. Roman People in King Solomon's day didn't have the mental flexibility humans do now. [k] @Dr. Roman They could think as a society, but not really as individuals... There wasn't much individualism. [k] @Dr. Roman Many people could think freely if given the chance, but the basic mentality was that everyone obeyed the laws laid down by God. [k] @Dr. Roman ...So, when I learned the word “romance,” I was surprised, and even delighted. [k] @Dr. Roman The freedom to dream of a future, the ambition to look for a better tomorrow... to know that the people who come after us would be capable of these things... [k] [charaFace C 3] @Dr. Roman I'm not entirely comfortable with the fact that the word “romance” comes from the word “Rome,” but that doesn't really matter. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman Even the mighty Rome that threatened Israel in the days of King Herod is gone now. [k] @Dr. Roman The world of man changes. And if, in the midst of those changes, good things grow, so be it. [k] [charaFace C 01] @Dr. Roman Well, anyway, I liked the idea so much, I wanted people to call me Roman! [k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman When I became human, I wished to live like that from the bottom of my heart! [k] [charaFace B 4] @Da Vinci ...Sheesh. When you say it like that, I don't have the heart to make fun of you for it. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Da Vinci But... are you sure? If you go down this path, you'll lose that freedom of yours.

[%1] is here. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Dr. Roman As long as [&he:she] becomes a good Master, there will have been meaning in my time here. [k] @Dr. Roman I could ask for no greater reason for this human existence. It more than makes up for the freedom I could have had.

[k] [charaFace B 0] @Da Vinci You spent all that time working yourself to the bone, desperately trying to escape from and avert the end of mankind that you saw when you became human. [k] @Da Vinci There was no romance there. Only a nightmarish existence, a hellish freedom. But it was indeed worth it. [k] @Da Vinci ...Yeah. King Solomon never really got his wish to live as a human. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Da Vinci But, congratulations.[sr]Your wish came true, Romani Archaman. [k] @Da Vinci [%1] is a full-fledged Master now, and worthy of the grade “Cause.” [k] [charaFace B 0] @Da Vinci Well, [&he's:she's] maybe still a LITTLE unreliable.[sr]But that's something to work on in the future.
