002. TEXT.

[ex_texting536]

Does anyone know what Monday is? (。ヘ°)

For me, it is the day that the Apocalypse drifted by. A great tragedy struck and the world shook with it, but the chaos drifted away ... peace was hard-fought but found once more.

I wonder, is this not a better message given our surroundings... the Christmas that will come allows closeness that is felt through a holiday, but surviving tragedy ... that shows the shade of the true soul. I daresay their Void... (￣ω￣;)

But I suppose that being so close to the anniversary has made me nostalgic.

Forgive me. (#／。＼#)

I'm disappointed, Shu. You should narrow down your question or be lead astray.

voice

[kindking]

Fine. What were you doing before you arrived here?

[Shu's lost his patience.]

text;

[ex_texting536]

I was driving a van.

voice

[kindking]

Where were you headed and for what?

voice

[ex_texting536]

I was headed to the other side of a building, because I was testing your mettle.

voice

[kindking]

I don't get you people.


Why would you do all this just to test me? That's messed up.

text;

[ex_texting536]

You are almost there, Ouma.

I am testing you now. I am testing you for you are King. But if you do not know what it is that I am talking about... then, I shall have to assume that time is stopped in a moment when you are not yet seated upon your throne.

voice

[kindking]

No, I don't know what you're talking about. That's why I asked you to explain yourself.

text;

[ex_texting536]

It seems time has stopped far.

Tell me... is Gai still alive?

voice

[kindking]

No, he isn't. It's all my fault too.

text;

[ex_texting536]

Bing-bong!

I have filled in the blank. I figured out what time you are from. What point is frozen for you.

Let me tell you one thing, Shu Ouma... Gai is alive.

voice

[kindking]

But how?

There's no way Gai could be alive. What's going on?

text;

[ex_texting536]

His role was not yet complete, and so he was once more brought onto the stage to fulfill his purpose.

voice

[kindking]

What kind of purpose? I know you have the answer to that.

text;

[ex_texting536]

The answer to that lies in Eve.

voice

[kindking]

You mean, Mana.

Are you trying to tell me it's not over yet?

text;

[ex_texting536]

Yes.

It is far from over.

But for the moment, consider me your comrade.

text;

[kindking]

No, I refuse. What if considering you a comrade is a mistake? Then Inori might get hurt because of you people.

permatext;

[ex_texting536]

Yuzuriha ... is she here?

voice

[kindking]

No, but she isn't. But what if Inori came? What then?

I already told you my answer. I don't want to become friends with you. That's all.

text;

[ex_texting536]

You will protect her, won't you?

It is not that we would be friends, Ouma. We would merely not do anything to get in the way of the other, and if you needed help, you would have it. I am not here to listen to your concerns this time, unfortunately.

voice

[kindking]

Please, just leave us alone. I'm not interested in what you have to offer as help.

text;

[ex_texting536]

Do you believe you can stand all on your own?

Is that not how Gai died before?

voice

[kindking]

[Gai clearly said Shu should do the rest on his own. He still firmly believes in those words. ]

I'll do whatever I can here, so please. Leave Gai out of this now before you make me mad.

text;

[ex_texting536]

You cannot be on your own forever.

But I won't push the subject further since you've yet to fully awaken.
