Dialogue

S-such strength...is irremissible... I think...he has finally fallen... This guy is so simply disgusting... *pant* He just keeps getting up... He's more stubborn than a foot fungus! You people are strong. Blessed. Tell me, does it feel good to trample over the weak? Does it feel right? No, it doesn't. But you're trying to take something precious from us, which means we can't lose. C-can't lose...? CAN'T LOSE?! Aaaah ha ha ha ha! Oh, the arrogance of your words! They are the words of a man who is ABLE to win—the words of a man who CAN envision his own victory! That is the view that births the weak— and the view that will steal all from us! Irremissible... IRREMISSIBLE! ...Awaken, Agito. Wh-what power he has! I don't wanna overstate nothin', boss, but I ain't likin' this at ALL! I know—and just because he's injured doesn't mean we can let our guard down. Elisanne? I have a request. Take the Zethia from this world and get her somewhere safe. Do so right now. Can I count on you in this matter? What? Why?! Because I was once in the situation she finds herself in now, and I know she still has traces of the Other's power within her. If we hope to pursue the one who now wields the Other's power, we must have your Zethia at our side. We cannot allow her to be captured. I see the reason in the matter, but why me? As a Paladyn, it is ever your duty to protect the Ilian Auspex. But to abandon everyone now... She's right. You need to do this. We have to make sure Zethia is safe. ...Very well, Your Highness. If this be your will, then I will see your sister safe. Thank you, Elly. If you leave the castle and head north, you'll come to the gate. Once you're free, get as far away from here as you can. ...Be safe, Euden. Running away, are you? No matter. HE will reclaim her in due time! But for now, you must learn what it means to be weak, and what it means to suffer the disease of weakness!
