Now, as much as I regret having come to such a viciously straightforward conclusion, it does seem that the famed Fatui is quite the cold-blooded and ruthless organization... |
That's impossible. It was fated, right from the start, that this would be my duty alone. |
Hey! That's not what we agreed on! |
Then I should do my best to honor it. |
What! How did you guess that on your first try!? |
No, no, no, this is a completely different situation! Hmph, pearls before swine... |
We'll also need to make some immediate adjustments to the lighting, props, and costumes. |
I prefer how things are now. I can come and go as I please, and get to enjoy the sweet taste of freedom. |
I've long heard of the turmoil and chaos you've left in your wake as you visited other nations, but I welcome you nevertheless... No, I have come to receive you personally. |
Although I've built up a certain following within Fontaine, it is no reflection of strength or wisdom. |
You know what? I'm not going to dwell over them anymore! Let's just get some rest. |
Alright. Deoteria, is it? How is your son's illness? |
That was to be expected, of course. The guilty can never produce proof of their innocence. |
Hmm? What is it, good citizen... |
So what are you all doing here? Do you need something? |
But just now... It all became clear to me. I still don't have the right to come to terms with fate on behalf of everyone else... |
Well, I tried to give you the chance to surrender. If you must persist, then let me ask: If you believe I'm not the Archon, then what manner of being do you think I am? |
I'd really love to take this teapot apart and learn more about it. Although, I'm not too confident that I'd be able to put it back together correctly afterwards... On second thought, forget I said anything. |
Veronique, do we have any other spare ones we can use? |
Centuries of pretending to be a different person changes you completely. I'm not the same person I once was. |
It's quite alright. No need to apologize. What I meant to say is that... This whole experience has shown me that perhaps I'm not as averse to a return to the stage as I'd previously imagined. |
Huh? Ah... Ahem! Why are you looking at me like that? Is something the matter? If there's nothing urgent, then I shall be retiring for now. |
The law only judges criminal behavior, and does not weigh human emotion. The court's verdict can settle the question of criminal liability, but... |
Huh...? |
I think we've all seen enough now, and we have ample witnesses to my flawless reasoning. |
Naturally, people wanted to hear my comments on the emerging art form that is the "masked mime show." |
I mean, I guess you could be trying to pursue your definition of the avant-garde... if that's what you're doing, I suppose you do have to find yourselves a capable director... |
Yoo-hoo~! |
Ah... Wh—Why are you looking at me? I had nothing to do with it... |
Hey! What gives!? The audience is still watching me, you know! Guards! Wait, where are the guards? GUARDS! |
Her final words are... ... ...I'll let you read them for yourselves. |
Shh! |
In that case, my dear audience, let's allow the joy of victory to steep for a little while longer, haha. |
As long as the final moment hasn't come, it's still not too late... |
If there were scales, with all the people of Fontaine on one side, and my pain on the other... Is it not obvious where the scales should tilt? |
(Aw, good thing I made all those preparations. Seems the all-nighter I pulled last night is really paying off!) |
I... I was just ever so slightly concerned about the situation you mentioned. Yes. A teensy bit concerned, that's all. |
Alright, it's about time to head back. Pauleau should have finished the ending by now. |
Oh, so it's basically a tea party! Sounds great! |
Sounds good to me! I support your decision. |
Now that I think about it, that whole speech about magicians making things disappear was nothing more than a provocation, a bald-faced challenge! |
I'd be overjoyed if the people here could find it in their hearts to forgive me. But they're more likely to unleash a tirade of vitriol against me, which of course I completely understand and accept. |
Uh... |
Oh, my darling clapper loader and Kamera operator! You've both worked really hard. |
What was meant to happen did happen after all. Everyone's dead... |
I... Um... |
I don't need any help here, why don't you try asking someone else? |
I want to watch them blossom and wither, see them refined on the page, retold on the stage, and remembered long into the future. |
I'll be sure to ask some people I know to see if they'd be willing to act as extras. |
Eh? But... I thought you would be happier to hear the news...? |
Hah, did you think I would agree just like that? After our performance of "The Little Oceanid", I've begun to make a name for myself again, you know. |
Alright, let's give it another try. Lights, Kamera, action! |
How are things in Poisson now? Any better? |
Hmm...? Is... Is something wrong...? |
Mhm-mmm, if it's on my tea table, it must be of the highest quality. Ah, yes, and we must thank The Knave for bringing these over as well. |
Through her love for her human partner, she was able to find an even greater love — one that extended to all of humanity. Surely the biggest strength of Clio's character. |
I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I got carried away. Please help us out, would you? |
Okay, we don't have time to really look into it right now. Let's strike while the iron is still hot, and wrap this thing up once and for all. |
... |
Ah, so this is what it is. Yes... You deserve praise for the effort you took to raise the dramatic stakes. |
She's a very strong person. Strong people will always manage to keep themselves together no matter what happens, acting like everything is fine. Doing so prevents other people around them from needlessly bearing additional pressure. I saw the duel between Callas and Clorinde... and I can say that in this respect, Navia is becoming more and more like her father. |
Hmm... But doesn't the way she suddenly told you to leave the city suggest that maybe she had some sense of what was about to happen? It almost seems as if she was moving you to safety. |
Yeah... I hope you're right. |
Technically, it counts as a kind of performance — but don't let that get to you, there's no pressure. Just say whatever words come into your mind! |
Hahaha, it's been great talking to you all. I'm really glad I decided to come to Qiaoying Village. |
...I... |
Hey, don't you understand? You're currently the prime suspect for a major case! This isn't the place for you to be looking for fights. |
Okay. Grab the Kamera, and I'll give you a scenario. |
I still don't wish to pretend to be someone else, but I do have a desire to express myself... So maybe the show will go on for me after all. |
If nothing else, we can safely say that we accomplished what we set out to do. |
My dear demoiselles... Uh, ladies... No, uh, I mean... friends! Please take me with you! |
O—Oh, so there's still hope after all? Goodness, you frightened me — you spoke so much, and with so much certainty... |
I've often seen Charlotte busily running back and forth lately. She still seems to be hoping to arrange an exclusive interview with me. No matter how many times I refuse, she still hasn't given up. To be honest, her persistence made me angry at first... but then she told me with a resolute look in her eyes that she wanted to let people understand the real Furina, and that she believed people would understand my troubles. I don't know how to respond to her kind intentions... I suppose she might be right, but I'm just not ready yet... |
Hah. Do not jest. Can you not feel it? |
And aren't human emotions — love, hate, regret, and hope — just the most mesmerizing things in this world? |
...Well come on, don't just stand there! Take some initiative! |
Off we go then... Let's take a look up there. |
Thus did I give up all of my divine power to provide everyone with energy for their daily lives. Have you ever seen a more magnanimous god? |
Fine, fine, I suppose haste is warranted. Lead the way! |
Too ordinary! Hmph, such an uninspired dish will never have my approval! |
Hahaha... I'm afraid that's just an inevitable consequence of my divine charm. |
True, but I have made a decision to retire from the stage. |
A chat, you say... A simple word, but a fascinating idea. |
... |
You may consider this my reward to all of you! I have determined that there will be an epic duel between myself and this traveler from another land, just as you were hoping to see! |
Alright, then... Who will be my opponent in this trial? |
But when there are valid grounds, I will not only judge travelers from abroad... |
Hehe, well, when it comes to things I'm interested in, I don't mind putting in the time to become the most knowledgeable person in the topic. |
My second question has to do with the ensuing duel. If the truth is indeed as you described... |
Ah, yeah, yes, that's exactly right! Please keep it a secret for me. |
*yawn* Coming, coming... Seriously, who's knocking before afternoon tea... |
Let's go. It's time for them to learn Director Aurelie's final thoughts. |
Do you have any proof? |
I will admit that I've been running away for a long time. |
So she didn't regret her decision. Even as she sat in silence, waiting for death to come. |
My dear citizens, my loyal audience, allow me to present my reasoning and bring this performance to a swift close. |
(I never imagined that it would hurt so much...) |
Everyone's really throwing themselves into their roles. I haven't seen such a fine performance in a long time. |
Since that's your testimony, I have no more questions. It appears there really are good grounds to reopen this case... |
So... as expected, he's missed the deadline. |
