Dunban... I don't know[XENO:n ]
how to ask this...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 2 |
|
126 |
What is it, Melia?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 3 |
|
126 |
The man in the metal-faced[XENO:n ]
Mechon... Mumkhar I think?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Were you and he acquainted[XENO:n ]
before he became that...thing?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 4 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・What difference does it make?/・We were comrades-in-arms. ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 5 |
|
126 |
W-well...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 6 |
|
126 |
I apologise. I didn't mean[XENO:n ]
to sound so defensive.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I just don't quite understand[XENO:n ]
the relevance of your question.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 7 |
|
126 |
It's difficult to explain.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I need to know.[XENO:n ]
I must know, Dunban.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He murdered my father, yet I know[XENO:n ]
nothing about him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 8 |
|
126 |
I understand, Melia. I'm sorry.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I should have spoken to you[XENO:n ]
about this sooner.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 9 |
|
126 |
Thank you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I know it's not easy for you[XENO:n ]
to talk about him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 10 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・It will never be easy!/・I'm fine. Ask away. ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 11 |
|
126 |
[XENO:type type=anger ]Not after what he did to[XENO:n ]
our home! And to Fiora![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 12 |
|
126 |
Believe me, I know. He stole[XENO:n ]
my father from me as well.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 13 |
|
126 |
I doubt the day when I forgive him[XENO:n ]
will ever come, Melia.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 14 |
|
126 |
Just as long as you understand[XENO:n ]
the danger of living in the past.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 15 |
|
126 |
I do. I know if I live with hate in[XENO:n ]
my heart, I'm no better than him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He became consumed by his[XENO:n ]
hatred for me. And he died for it...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 16 |
|
126 |
I see...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 17 |
|
126 |
It was Shulk who showed[XENO:n ]
me the light.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd have gone down a dark path[XENO:n ]
otherwise.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd have taken Mumkhar's life.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'm very grateful to Shulk. I hope[XENO:n ]
I can repay the favour one day.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 18 |
|
126 |
I feel much the same way.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Let us work together to live[XENO:n ]
by Shulk's example.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 19 |
|
126 |
I am partly responsible, after all.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 20 |
|
126 |
You? What do you mean?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 21 |
|
126 |
He changed right around the time[XENO:n ]
I started using the Monado.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He coveted it so much that[XENO:n ]
his jealousy consumed him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If I'm honest, I wasn't completely[XENO:n ]
oblivious to this. But I didn't act.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And then it was too late.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 22 |
|
126 |
You should not blame yourself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The darkness that haunted[XENO:n ]
his heart was to blame.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He was lost long ago, it seems.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 23 |
|
126 |
I just wish that fool had realised.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wasn't the true heir to[XENO:n ]
the Monado, Shulk was![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He never should have had[XENO:n ]
a reason to hate either of us...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 24 |
|
126 |
Dunban...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 25 |
|
126 |
I shouldn't get emotional.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You probably didn't want me to[XENO:n ]
go on about the old days like this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 26 |
|
126 |
Actually I found great value in it.[XENO:n ]
Thank you, Dunban.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 27 |
|
126 |
One year ago, he and I risked[XENO:n ]
our lives fighting the Mechon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But when the battle turned,[XENO:n ]
he chose to make a run for it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 28 |
|
126 |
So he was a cowardly man?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 29 |
|
126 |
He was always fairly unreliable.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Deep down I knew that one day[XENO:n ]
he'd fail us in a time of need.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But in the battle a year ago, he[XENO:n ]
still seemed to be on our side.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 30 |
|
126 |
What do you mean, Dunban?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Are you saying he wasn't always[XENO:n ]
the monster he became?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 31 |
|
126 |
Whatever his reasons...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That day, he was fighting off those[XENO:n ]
machines as hard as we were.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 32 |
|
126 |
That is...difficult to believe.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 33 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・You would not understand./・I know the truth. ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 34 |
|
126 |
Hmph. That may well be what[XENO:n ]
you think, Dunban.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 35 |
|
126 |
I apologise, Melia. My words[XENO:n ]
are not meant to hurt.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I knew him, and I can only[XENO:n ]
tell you what I saw.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 36 |
|
126 |
Do you think he had a reason[XENO:n ]
for fighting? Someone to protect?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 37 |
|
126 |
I've often thought about that.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He is originally from another[XENO:n ]
colony. One destroyed long ago.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So in theory, he had nothing to[XENO:n ]
lose. Maybe that's all it was...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 38 |
|
126 |
Perhaps you are right.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Whatever the reasons, his[XENO:n ]
atrocities can never be justified.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 39 |
|
126 |
Of course.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I suppose it would be futile to[XENO:n ]
think too hard about it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 40 |
|
126 |
Dunban... Does it hurt[XENO:n ]
to remember?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 41 |
|
126 |
Hmph. I didn't mean for you[XENO:n ]
to worry over this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]This is one of many tales of battle.[XENO:n ]
A neverending circle of betrayal.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 42 |
|
126 |
If you say so.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I look forward to the day that[XENO:n ]
our world is free of war.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 43 |
|
126 |
That's why I'm so full of regret.[XENO:n ]
Maybe I could have stopped him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 44 |
|
126 |
You mustn't blame yourself.[XENO:n ]
You could not have stopped this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 45 |
|
126 |
Perhaps. But it's complicated.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I can't deny that he was a bit[XENO:n ]
of an...unreliable fellow.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But he saved my life[XENO:n ]
countless times.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]After I took up the Monado there[XENO:n ]
was a definite change in him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 46 |
|
126 |
He was taken by its power.[XENO:n ]
I pity him.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 47 |
|
126 |
I just wish he'd realised.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wasn't the true heir to[XENO:n ]
the Monado, Shulk was![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]He never should have had[XENO:n ]
a reason to hate either of us...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 48 |
|
126 |
Dunban...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 49 |
|
126 |
[XENO:type type=think ][XENO:jaw jaw=off ]Mumkhar, I doubt I'll ever[XENO:n ]
forgive you for what you did...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I'll never forget you and[XENO:n ]
I hope you can find peace...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
