Scar
Smith, your son. So the next Smith has already been picked?
Have you heard the story about the hero, Nikola?
Didn't know you had a taste for that kind of story.
It was a story I heard from the last Smith, back when I was becoming a "real Smith". He told me it was only natural for the hero to challenge the demon king.
The hero had to go and defeat the demon king. That was his duty.
He started training since childhood and, at the youngest possible age, embarked on a crusade against the demon king.
His life was dictated by fate and by other people. His own will didn't matter.
And finally when he came face to face with the demon king, the latter asked: "Will you take my life, or half of the world?"
What, do you think, was the hero's answer?
Kill the demon king, of course... No, it wouldn't be that simple...
Exactly. His answer was "half of the world". Only those who have made tough decisions in life can appreciate the ingenuity of that answer. That said, I don't want the next Smith to be a hero.
You—
Pick up all the pieces and piece them together.
And then "Smith" will become the perfect monster.
Chrome, you're becoming a "Smith".
