루시아: 심홍수영

You're moving away now that I've come to you willingly?

This power will be used accordingly.

I will no longer be constrained by these meaningless titles.

Even more power. Let's keep it going.

Not a bad idea to review what I've mastered.

Not bad. An adequate weapon.

Don't slow me down, and don't get hurt by my strikes.

Watch my movements and act accordingly.

Mission complete. How much trouble have they gotten you into exactly?

You're keeping an eye on my left hand. Do you want to know what would happen if I untie it? I can show you if you want to level this place to the ground... Never mind. There's always next time.

I started on the path of an Ascendant because of Luna, but now we've both found an answer that could lead us to the future... It's fine if you don't approve of what I think. I'll never approve of what Babylonia does either.

Agents are people who want to turn their dreams into reality and make history... Aren't you the same?

The Ascension-Network is indeed filtering for Ascendants, but before you criticize the filtering process, think about how the specialized frames of Babylonia are also filtering Constructs. There is no difference between what we do.

Project Winter... Too many have been entangled by its tendrils, and we won't find our way out until it's completely eliminated... I see you're ready to face the whole truth.

As I was wandering about, I met a white cat that kept following me. I don't know why... but it reminded me of you. Perhaps because you are just as fragile.

Why do I keep the old Gray Raven symbol on my back... It's a reminder and a warning... To remind me of those forgotten by history but should not be forgotten. To warn me against trusting those who should not be trusted.

The secret of the Ascension-Network? Don't pay it too much mind. You won't find the path you've chosen there. I'll show you the consequence of your choices soon enough. But perhaps we are not so different after all... I meant the two of us—you and me, not Ascendants and Babylonia.

Life is valuable, of course, but to focus solely on that is to dismiss the pain others are suffering—so I freed them, and maybe one day I'll free you, regardless of what you think my actions mean.

Are you still hoping for a future where you and your Gray Ravens will see peace prevail...? Keep it up. I look forward to seeing your wish at the finish line, regardless of whether or not it comes true.

Since we have exposed Project Winter, you should have the name tags of the old Gray Raven. Murol, Xun, Hiro... They deserve to rest in peace. Why are there only three tags? Because the last one is mine. I still have to keep fighting... for the three of them. For the rest of us.

I'm excellent at wielding both short and long blades, but the weapon I've used the longest... is still this dagger. Why don't I use it anymore? There are more things I have to protect now, and its blade is no longer long enough.

If you're tired, give up on everything and go away. Leave it all to me, whether you live, die by my hand, or just wander off... But... never surrender to me.

You see another possibility in me? Then whose possibility excites you more, mine or your Lucia? You'd rather build your future instead of waiting for it to arrive, you say? Naive... but... not a terrible answer. You're indeed a dangerous opponent.

We'll reach the end of this calamity one day. No matter how it ends, whether humans or Ascendants survive—tell me where you are... even if you can only whisper it in the wind.

Futile.

You want to please me with this?

If you still want a future without the Punishing Virus, you should refrain from interacting with an Ascendant.

This thing... My past self would indeed have liked it.

Save your kindness for someone who'd actually reciprocate.

Your Lucia has also received many gifts like this, hasn't she... Look at your face. I knew you'd make a fascinating expression like that.

Our paths are not the same. You would be wise to keep your distance.

You don't need to waste so much time and effort if you just want me to lend you my power.

You refuse to heed my advice... What is it that you hope to find...? Or have you considered the price of being close to me?

Are you hoping to get near an Ascendant, or me?

If this is where we stand, how about you leave behind your commandant title, come with me, and join the Ascendants? ...You're wise to say no. Your will is why I have yet to kill you.

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to trust me? Or to make me trust you?

We both have something we won't give up, and they will put us on opposite sides of the battlefield. When that day comes, I will not show any mercy toward you. You've earned an honest fight. This is how I'll show my respect for you.

I'm tired of this. When will you give me your most valuable possession... Stop getting so close... If you're no longer afraid of me, then let me get closer to you too... Hah, you're running away?

It seems that neither Babylonia nor you have discovered where your true strength lies... When will you leave with me? You don't have to answer me right now like you did last time. Give it some thought.

Put those aside and come with me... You don't get to refuse. After all, I didn't have a choice to refuse it when you sent me all this stuff.

Hiding something from me? I can help if there's anything you can't deal with on your own.

Ugh

Did you just leave an Ascendant in your lounge and walk away?

Should I leave behind an Ascendant memento or two here? The kind that would leave a huge stain on your glorious resume?

If you're falling asleep, let me tell you a bedtime story—you won't be able to sleep after you hear it. Let me think… What story shall I tell you… Stop asking me why, unless you're not sleepy in the first place?

You just fall asleep before me without any concern? Or... have you not even considered it?

If you're gone, then this place has no reason to stay... Hah, you came back just in time. Don't test me next time.

Would you rather die by exhaustion instead of my hand?

You're too tightly bound by your responsibilities. So am I, you say? At least I know when to take a break, unlike you.

You're going to exhaust yourself soon and pass out. Your Gray Ravens will come rushing to you, and the Ascendants will get the chance to take them all down... Is that what you want to see?

I'm tired too. Let's go. Rest with me.

Sleep if you're tired. If you're brave enough to be in a room with an Ascendant, why would you be afraid of being reprimanded for slacking? Relax. No one will know what happens in this room apart from you and me.

I don't have time to chat. What's next?

What troublesome missions do we have today? Leave them to me while I'm here.

Are you ready? We'll watch each other, be aware of each other, and use each other.

Do you enjoy this repetitive routine, or is it involuntary... You dare to ask me my own question?

You're on time today. Good, keep it up. As a reward for not being lazy, maybe I'll stay a little longer.

I never look up at the sky, even when this planet is scarred beyond recognition. I was born here, and my path forward is paved here. If you want to walk with me... then let's go.

Welcome back. Do you want to say that to me as well?

I've been waiting for you. If you didn't come back soon, I'd have gone looking for you... or given you a hard time.

It's been a while. Perhaps I should put you on a leash in case you leave without a word... I'm kidding. No matter where you are, I'll still have my eyes on you. I won't let my most dangerous enemy out of my sight. I hope you're smart enough to do the same.

If you try to pull some trick behind my back, you'll only end up hurting yourself.

You're like a struggling caged bird, smashing and shaking your prison.

Enough with your childish retaliation.

If you want to cut your hand off as a gift for me, you can just say so.

Tch. Do you want to try touching me when I release the Punishing Virus?

Hah, your petty tricks... I'm simply restraining my power right now. Don't think for a moment that you're getting stronger.

You just completed it by the book? What a...

This fight... better not be a boring one.

All things are but transient, so here I am granting you liberation!

Give me all you got.

I won't hold back.

Is that the best you can do?

Give up.

Life and death are but a moment apart…

Hmph. Now you're on the other side of the line.

The sundered shackles shall be my blade!

I will sever this prison of fate!

Tsk.

A worthy opponent.

...Ha... This is... how it ends...

Found you.

What an obvious weakness.

Keep moving. This victory... is not the end yet.

Are you ready to walk this path with me under the might of the roaring thunder?
