1 kizunatalk018_msg0001 84 There's a really great view of the whole village from here, right?
2 kizunatalk018_msg0002 84 Indeed! It's quite the vista.
3 kizunatalk018_msg0003 84 Such a fine village it is, too...
4 kizunatalk018_msg0004 84 Certainly no one is awash with luxury down there. But still, the people are remarkably happy.
5 kizunatalk018_msg0005 84 Even when life is hard, they keep smiling, keep looking forward.
6 kizunatalk018_msg0006 84 I think of it as the continuation of Vandham's spirit. He may be gone, but his good deeds outlive him.
7 kizunatalk018_msg0007 84 Yes, it's a fine thought, knowing the man who built and protected this village was once my Driver.
8 kizunatalk018_msg0008 165 What should I say...?
9 kizunatalk018_msg0009 164 Do you want to hear about Vandham?
10 kizunatalk018_msg0010 164 Do you wish you could stay here?
11 kizunatalk018_msg0101 84 Well... It seems a tad rude to go on about my old Driver in front of my current one.
12 kizunatalk018_msg0102 84 But I've heard he was quite the remarkable man. Naturally, I'm curious.
13 kizunatalk018_msg0103 84 He was one of the good guys, all right.
14 kizunatalk018_msg0104 84 He had big muscles, a big voice, and an even bigger heart.
15 kizunatalk018_msg0105 84 It was Vandham who taught me the basics of being a Driver.
16 kizunatalk018_msg0106 84 More than that, in fact...
17 kizunatalk018_msg0107 84 He taught me all about Blades, how to fight, the way of the world...
18 kizunatalk018_msg0108 84 I didn't know him for long, but he taught me the most important things I know.
19 kizunatalk018_msg0109 84 Is that right...
20 kizunatalk018_msg0110 84 He was the kind of solid, powerful and dashing sort that is irresistible to the opposite sex, I'll wager.
21 kizunatalk018_msg0111 84 Erm, I'm not sure if he was that much of a hit with the ladies. But he was a great guy, that's for sure.
22 kizunatalk018_msg0112 84 Hmmm. I feel the loss of my memories of him very keenly.
23 kizunatalk018_msg0113 84 Well, don't worry, Roc.
24 kizunatalk018_msg0114 84 Like I said before.
25 kizunatalk018_msg0115 84 The people of this village are carrying on what he started. And so are we.
26 kizunatalk018_msg0116 84 I hope I can become as good as him some day. I may still have a way to go...
27 kizunatalk018_msg0117 84 But just you stick with me, Roc, and one day, you'll see!
28 kizunatalk018_msg0118 84 I don't doubt it.
29 kizunatalk018_msg0119 84 I promise to hold you to the same high standards, Rex.
30 kizunatalk018_msg0201 84 I wouldn't say that.
31 kizunatalk018_msg0202 84 After all, it's not like I have any memories of my time in this village.
32 kizunatalk018_msg0203 84 But I believe something lives on here. Something of Vandham, and of myself.
33 kizunatalk018_msg0204 84 When I think about it, I can't help but get a tad sentimental.
34 kizunatalk018_msg0205 84 Yeah, I know what you mean.
35 kizunatalk018_msg0206 84 It's like the village is full of memories... Memories of you, memories of Vandham.
36 kizunatalk018_msg0207 84 I wonder how he and I used to spend our days...
37 kizunatalk018_msg0208 84 I think...you probably both lived pretty normal lives, really.
38 kizunatalk018_msg0209 84 Normal?
39 kizunatalk018_msg0210 84 That's right. Vandham was the everyday sort, you know?
40 kizunatalk018_msg0211 84 I mean, he'd get up in the morning, see to the kids, then he'd just eat a big sausage sandwich.
41 kizunatalk018_msg0212 84 Evenings, he'd drink a beer and chat about what he was up to. Then he'd just get a bit sleepy, and go to bed.
42 kizunatalk018_msg0213 84 I think that's what he was trying to build here. A place where people could just...live normal lives.
43 kizunatalk018_msg0214 84 I think that's what both of you were always fighting for.
44 kizunatalk018_msg0215 84 Fighting for a normal life...?
45 kizunatalk018_msg0216 84 Then perhaps even now, that normal life is what the people of this village hold most dear.
46 kizunatalk018_msg0217 84 Tell me, Rex... Would you say Vandham was a kind person?
47 kizunatalk018_msg0218 84 Kind, huh...?
48 kizunatalk018_msg0219 84 I mean, he was straight up with everyone. Maybe even blunt sometimes.
49 kizunatalk018_msg0220 84 But he was a real gentle giant.
50 kizunatalk018_msg0221 84 He'd probably get mad at me for saying it, but I think he was a lot like a father.
51 kizunatalk018_msg0222 84 He's someone that I looked up to. Someone I'd like to be like someday.
52 kizunatalk018_msg0223 84 I can see you hold him in great regard, Rex. I only wish I could have met him myself.
53 kizunatalk018_msg0224 84 He did everything he could to protect us. I bet he's still watching over us from somewhere, even now...
54 kizunatalk018_msg0225 84 Well. In that case, I'd better make sure he always sees me at my best!
55 kizunatalk018_msg0226 84 Yeah... I reckon if we don't live up to his expectations, we'll be in for a right rollicking someday!
