A wise decision. I am obviously more experienced than my younger self. [k] ?1:You're both equally Ptolemaîos to me. @Ptolemaîos Even so, the fact that you made this choice is meaningful. [k] ?2:I just thought this way would work better this time. @Ptolemaîos Whatever you think is best is what you should choose. [k] ?! [charaFace A 10] @Ptolemaîos Remember this: whatever a commander decides always ends up being best. That's the ideal we all need to strive for. [k] @Ptolemaîos How many decisions have you made, and how much responsibility have you borne for them? [k] ?1:A lot, I think. [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos Yes, I imagine so. You've been given far too much for one person to carry alone. [k] ?2:I've been entrusted with lots of very important things. [charaFace A 0] @Ptolemaîos I'm sure you have. You've been given far too much for one person to carry alone. [k] ?!

[k] [charaFace C 9] @Ptolemaîos This was my daily life. Ultimately, I left it all in the hands of a single king. [k] ?1:Did you fight a lot? ?! @Ptolemaîos More times than I can count. I let my dreams drive me and my army impossibly far to the east. [k] [charaFace C 10] @Ptolemaîos I trampled many things in my path to get there. I killed people who were merely sleeping peacefully. [k] @Ptolemaîos If it hadn't been for my dreams, I wouldn't have roused other peaceful people into fighting and killing either. [k] [charaFace C 9] @Ptolemaîos But you know, [%1]... [k] [charaFace C 0] @Ptolemaîos What scares me the most is that, even as I recall these memories, I feel no regret over what I did. [k] @Ptolemaîos Dreams can be infectious. I too became infatuated with my king's dream, and passed it on to many other people. [k] ?1:I see. You want to be fair and impartial. ?2:Sounds like being fair and impartial is important for you. ?! [charaFace C 0] @Ptolemaîos “Fair and impartial”... Yes, you may be right. [k] [charaFace C 9] @Ptolemaîos As long as humans exist, they will pass their dreams and disappointments on to others. I don't want my legacy to be false. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Ptolemaîos Even if some died because of what I passed on, others no doubt fell to their knees in pride because of it. [k] @Ptolemaîos I'm sure that's true for this king as well. [k] ?1:Thēseus? You think he told Asterios things like that? ?2:So, you think Asterios has had those kinds of things passed on to him by Thēseus? ?! @Ptolemaîos No doubt they shared their dreams and their disappointments with each other. It seems this Singularity is something of a magnet for people like that.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 16] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Sugitani Zenjubou Hey, I'm not saying I never babble about stuff, but the only thing I know for sure is that I can count on my matchlock. [k] [messageOff] [cueSe SE_23 23_ade911] [charaMoveReturn B 0,-4 0.6] [wt 1.0] [charaFace B 3] @Sugitani Zenjubou Anyway...something tells me there's more to that castle lord than we think. [k] ?1:There is? ?2:You mean Thēseus? ?! @Sugitani Zenjubou Yeah, something about this just doesn't sit right with me. Then again, it's just a hunch. I could be wrong. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ptolemaîos Hmm... No, something about this is bothering me as well. We shouldn't be too quick to dismiss our hunches. [k] @Ptolemaîos Perhaps we cannot yet draw any conclusions, but we should still keep these thoughts in mind when next we face them. [k] @Ptolemaîos Though this time, you're going to hide somewhere out of sight, Sugitani. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Sugitani Zenjubou So back to my original line of work, huh? Got it. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Sugitani Zenjubou Just don't blame me if I miss again, yeah? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Ptolemaîos Oh, I'm not worried about that. You made a promise to Master, no? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Sugitani Zenjubou Hahaha! Knock it off. You're gonna make me blush.

[k] [charaFace A 9] @Ptolemaîos Even if this battle is ultimately no more than a clash of egos, it may yet hold some chance of salvation. [k] [charaFace A 11] @Ptolemaîos All right, Master. Let us go claim our last castle! [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [bgmStopEnd BGM_EVENT_62 2.0] [wait fade] [soundStopAllEnd] [end]
