Say, Rex. Do you truly believe
that Elysium exists? |
| 2 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0002 |
84 |
Do you even have to ask? |
| 3 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0003 |
84 |
Don't you, Mòrag? I don't understand
why you'd even be here then! |
| 4 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0004 |
84 |
No...that's not what I mean. |
| 5 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0005 |
84 |
I just wanted to clarify how
everyone truly feels. |
| 6 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0006 |
84 |
After all, don't most people only
know of Elysium from fairy tales? |
| 7 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0007 |
84 |
Well, I guess so, but... |
| 8 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0008 |
84 |
Our chum here's seen the real deal
in his dreams or whatever, right? |
| 9 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0013 |
84 |
There were wide green fields and a
warm breeze, and a beautiful city
like nothing I've ever seen... |
| 10 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0014 |
84 |
Pyra was standing on top of a hill
overlooking it all. |
| 11 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0015 |
84 |
I'm sure it must have been Elysium.
There's no place like it in Alrest. |
| 12 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0009 |
84 |
The place you saw in your dream... |
| 13 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0010 |
84 |
Is it prudent to believe in Elysium
based on that information alone,
I wonder? |
| 14 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0012 |
84 |
Don't you trust me and Pyra, Mòrag? |
| 15 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0201 |
84 |
Oh no, I trust you both. |
| 16 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0202 |
84 |
But just because a place exists in
your dreams, does not necessarily
mean it exists in reality. |
| 17 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0203 |
84 |
Zeke, can you honestly say you have
never doubted Elysium's existence
in the slightest? |
| 18 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0204 |
84 |
Well, I guess I have wondered from
time to time. |
| 19 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0205 |
84 |
At the end of the day, the only way
to be truly sure is to go there, right? |
| 20 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0206 |
84 |
True enough. |
| 21 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0207 |
84 |
As for now, Rex believes it's real,
and that's enough for me. |
| 22 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0208 |
84 |
Aww, Zeke! |
| 23 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0209 |
84 |
I mean, sure, it's best for everyone
if it does exist, but even if it doesn't,
does that really change anything? |
| 24 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0210 |
84 |
Our chum's on a mission to help
Pyra reach her dream. |
| 25 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0211 |
84 |
Whatever the outcome, I want to
see that through to the end. |
| 26 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0212 |
84 |
A mission... |
| 27 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0213 |
84 |
So what if there's no proof?
Chasing after dreams is what real
men are born to do! |
| 28 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0214 |
84 |
Very well. I appreciate your passion. |
| 29 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0215 |
84 |
Though I'm not quite sure I understand
your notion of a "real man". |
| 30 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0216 |
84 |
Hey, no worries.
You'll figure it out eventually. |
| 31 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0217 |
84 |
I mean, you're basically the
manliest one here! |
| 32 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0218 |
84 |
...Zeke. There are some things in this
world you don't joke about. |
| 33 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0223 |
84 |
Even my temper has its limits. |
| 34 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0219 |
84 |
Would you like me to teach you
a lesson you won't ever forget? |
| 35 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0220 |
84 |
Uh, Mòrag?
You're scaring me a little... |
| 36 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0221 |
84 |
Hold it, hold it!
I was just joking around! |
| 37 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0224 |
84 |
Hehehe... |
| 38 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0222 |
84 |
L-listen, nobody needs to
die here, OK? ...OK?! |
| 39 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0301 |
84 |
Say, Rex. Do you really think that
place is Elysium? |
| 40 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0302 |
84 |
It's a tough sell, for sure. That barren
wasteland is nothing like the paradise
in the fairy tales... |
| 41 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0303 |
84 |
To be honest, I'm not even sure myself. |
| 42 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0304 |
84 |
The Elysium I saw first was a warm
place, full of sunlight and greenery. |
| 43 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0305 |
84 |
Do you think that Elysium still
exists somewhere else? |
| 44 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0306 |
84 |
No... We definitely made it
to the right place. |
| 45 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0307 |
84 |
There was no greenery or sunlight,
but it was still the same place as
the Elysium I saw. |
| 46 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0308 |
84 |
Then what, you think the paradise
Elysium was never anything more
than a dream? |
| 47 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0309 |
84 |
I don't think we can say that for sure. |
| 48 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0310 |
84 |
Perhaps what Rex saw was how
Elysium truly was, long ago. |
| 49 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0311 |
84 |
Long ago? |
| 50 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0312 |
84 |
Yes. A vision of an older Elysium, taken
from within someone's memories. |
| 51 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0313 |
84 |
So our chum here was dreaming
about...someone else's memories? |
| 52 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0314 |
84 |
That's pretty freaky stuff. |
| 53 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0315 |
84 |
Yes, it's certainly far from an
ordinary phenomenon. |
| 54 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0316 |
84 |
... |
| 55 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0317 |
84 |
If the passage of time could turn the
Elysium I saw into...that... |
| 56 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0318 |
84 |
Maybe Alrest could end up like that
too someday. |
| 57 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0319 |
84 |
Indeed. It is the same as the Tornan
Titan we saw in Morytha. All things
deteriorate, over time. |
| 58 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0320 |
84 |
But time isn't the threat right now.
Malos could turn Alrest into a
wasteland like that any time... |
| 59 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0321 |
84 |
True enough... |
| 60 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0322 |
84 |
And I daresay neither we humans
nor even the Titans themselves
could survive in such a world. |
| 61 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0323 |
84 |
That's why we have to stop him,
no matter what! |
| 62 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0324 |
84 |
That's the spirit I like to see, chum! |
| 63 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0325 |
84 |
I thought you might be depressed that
Elysium wasn't all you'd hoped, but
I guess I needn't have worried. |
| 64 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0326 |
84 |
Rex is not so weak as to let
something like this set him back. |
| 65 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0327 |
84 |
His strength of will is what has
carried us all this far. |
| 66 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0328 |
84 |
Wh-what's up with you two
all of a sudden? There's no
point flattering me, you know! |
| 67 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0329 |
84 |
Don't fret, chum. You just keep doing
what you always do. |
| 68 |
|
kizunatalk043_msg0330 |
84 |
Yes...keep forging our path ahead.
We're counting on you. |
