So, do you understand what I meant about us conversing here arguably being a small miracle?

Have I... reached my limit? No, perhaps I reached it long ago. Today, I didn't even notice my own tears.
I want to tell someone, anyone, about this... But would that not destroy all I've done so far?

"How do you feel about this, Micaiah? Tell me the truth."
"...I don't want to fight."
"Then why ar--"
"What choice do I have?! I'm the general of this army. It doesn't matter how I feel. Besides, I can't let the king or the soldiers down. My duty ultimately lies with them... I'm sorry."

"Ivy."
"Father. I've not seen you since we were at the Brodian border.
That was our farewell. In this life, at least."

"I joined the army after I came of age. But it was different after you all left. It was as if you took its spirit with you. The only exception was General Zelgius."
"I see. Is that why you're under his command?"
"Yes. He is the last true knight. I will die for him."
"Yes, Levail. You will."

The blue moonlight cuts across our sight
As pure and clear as a ringing bell, reaching for us in the night
As the wind calms my thoughts, I hold strong on this terrace
I feel at peace, carried away by the wind's song

Peruere won the battle and became a Harbinger herself, after which Her Majesty the Tsaritsa bestowed upon her a new name... Arlecchino.

When I hear you speak, I can't help but have faith. Strange, isn't it? Before all this, we were enemies... But since the world fell to ruin, you are the only one whose words mean anything to me. I lost everything. There is only one thing I have since gained... You. Our strange relationship.

I feel it. I feel the desert sun on my face.
Finally, Mom... I'm coming home.

"Don't be nice to me," she said. "I don't deserve it. Nothing...nothing matters anymore."

"Well, things aren't always as they seem. You still feel like your Papa was a good man, right?"
"Yeah, Papa was a really good man. The best in the whole world..."

"Heh heh heh... This false god,
we shall make as if it never was!"
"'Cause this is our world, right?
And you were a part of it, too!"

It's just that, when I remembered... I was afraid you might go somewhere far away, like you did at the last battle...

I cherish those memories. I can't count how many times she made me happy just by smiling.
And she smiled the most...when she was pregnant with you.

I'm going to be entirely honest with you: I hate you.
Your deft handling of your unfortunate circumstances, your uniqueness, your ability to surpass me—all these irritate me.
...You're the one person I refuse to lose to.

Milady Bella…! I have…failed you…!
Pray forgive…! Your unworthy servant…!
You must flee…!
Save yourself…! Milady Bella…!
Find a stronger…! More worthy servant…!
And fight…! Anew…!

I see... You've lost sight of yourself, just like me.
You don't know who you are anymore. You don't even know where you stand, and you feel alone.
I understand. Let's find out, together. Alright?
Let's try and find out... who I am, and why you are here.
Let's look for the answers together, KOS-MOS.

Without you, I'm all alone... No one is here to encourage me...
No one... will stand by me...

Thank you. This is the first time for this, for me.
You're being...kind.

No amount of repentance will bring your wretched soul salvation.
You will be chained to the Valley of Torment... eternally walk the desert until the skin rots from your bones...
I will ensure that you pay for your sins, Professor!
In the name of the Nabateans, I swear it!

Back then... I was jealous of everyone else's happy families... That's why I lied about mine...
