*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Me forgiving my brother... I don't think it's my place when there are so many people who were sacrificed.'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''If I cannot, or... if Aren still has hatred in his heart, it's my responsibility to end this with my own hands.'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Humans always think the world revolves around them. You're no different, Ara.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''What happened to your brother is not your responsibility, nor was it something you could prevent. Know that demons had a clear goal.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Even if it weren't your brother, somebody would have given up their body for the demon, and your home would have still been destroyed as the keeper of the El.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Ara, I have witnessed many lives and deaths, and the flow of the world in my long life.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Sometimes, tragedies happen without reason. It had almost, no, absolutely nothing to do with what good or bad deeds they have done.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But in this case, there was a clear cause.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''You may feel some liability. I will give you that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''You can only think for yourself. Remember you have no right to represent someone else.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''It's delusional to think your decision will betray the wishes of many others. Do you think your forgiveness or punishment hold that much worth?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''... If you think I am wrong... then what should I do?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''You make your own choice. Choosing with your illogical, caring, overly optimistic human heart.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''And if anyone disagrees, persuade them. If you can't, make them see reason with force.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''What you believe as justice was once established by someone with power. So let others see. Write your own justice with your hands.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''That is the human way I know.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But... that's not right.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''How do you know what's right? What's not right? The world has no such standards.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''There's only what can and cannot be done.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But it doesn't seem right to make others surrender with force. How is that different from plain refusal to accept?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Life is full of refusals.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Sigh... I understand what you are trying to say... But it seems too inconsiderate.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Though, I suppose you've always looked at the bigger picture, with no regard to the small things that come with it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Hmph, why should I consider every insignificant detail?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''It's not insignificant to me!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''Then why don't you carry it aaaalll on your shoulder. You're stubborn like a mule... I've said my piece, so I'll leave you be.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''You too, Eun. Everyone's going to think you're a mule spirit from how stubborn you are.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''... But thank you, Eun. I know you would think I'm foolish... But I'll keep thinking about it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Huhu... It seems I'm hearing about choice a lot these days.'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''We've come quite far. This long corridor... Looks like the meeting hall is down that way.'' | |||

|EXP=5,154,470 | *{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Ran:''' ''Congratulations. This is the second time you've won against me.'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''... I want to ask you so many things.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Like what happened to Ran, and... why you are here acting in his place.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But I must ask this first. ... Why did you avoid me?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''The moment I realized Ran is nearby, I couldn't stay calm with the thought of seeing you again.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''I was worried he might not be here, and when I faced him, I was afraid... but when I thought this might be it, I felt my will to fight grow within me.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But when our weapons clashed, and I got the hunch that I'm fighting against you, not Ran, I was surprised, yet happy, but also scared.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''However, it seems I was the only one who felt like that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''I understand your hatred. You probably don't even want to talk to me... But please, give me a chance to persuade you. I've come all this way for this.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''... It's not hatred.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''It's not?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''Sigh... It seems the image you have of me is that of a steadfast man.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''If only... I faced head-on like the man in your image, we wouldn't have ended up like this.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''What do you mean?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''Ara... I did not acquire the power of demons to revenge. I merely... wanted.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''... wanted to go back home...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''I understand! How the only option left for you was to fight...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''No. Please, Ara... That's not me.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''I... I never had the will to fight. I merely hoped for the situation to change as I sent a couple of words along the wind.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''I'm sorry. I used you... like a sanctuary. As long as I was with you, I could escape from the expectation and attention from others.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''A man who didn't even have the courage to fail, to fight back, or to refuse... A man who's given up, always living like he's running away.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''... Ran granted my wish. I was able to return home along with its destruction.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren}} '''Aren:''' ''Though it was a twisted realization of my dream, I think it's a fitting ending for a man full of deception and lies.'' | |||
*''(LIFTS...)'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Ara. This is the face I've hidden behind my mask. I am not flawless like you think I am.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Can't you let me live the rest of my life as a sinner banished to this cursed land? To lead a wretched, lonely life?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''I cannot.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''I do not have the confidence to face what I have done...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''It doesn't matter.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Don't you think it's already too late?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Huhu, I know you're trying to picture yourself as the irredeemable scoundrel, but you're doing it all wrong. It must be because you're a hard-working model student to the core.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''... A model student?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Yes. You always seemed so sure of yourself. But now that I see this other side of you, I'm sorry, but it's kind of... adorable.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Interacting with others and gaining something out of it... That's normal in life, isn't it?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Ara, I'm not talking about those. There's intention and thought behind people's action.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''I understand you feel some kind of guilt towards me, though I would have preferred if you admitted your joy when you spend time together with me.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Sigh... I thought for a very long time on how I was going to persuade you, (smiling) but I don't remember what I was going to say.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But since you've told me your feelings, let me tell you mine.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''While I was on this journey... I've encountered many enjoyable, exciting things.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''I've met many good people and learned many new things. I'll always be grateful for this opportunity. However...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''If I had the choice, I would have never gone on an adventure over staying with my family.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Aren, that's how I feel. Even if it's not easy, even if we have no where to go back, I want to be together with my only family.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Your only...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''While on our way here, we've met the Dream Demons.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''They say they were enjoying the freedom given to them by their second life because they have lost their purpose, their mission, and something precious to them in their first.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''But I don't want that... Even if everything comes to an end, I do not want to lose any more.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''In fact! I'm sick of losing! I'm also going to stop running away. If I can gain back what I've lost with my own hands, I'm going to do so!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''That's why, if you take away my family, I'm never going to forgive you. Even if it's you, Aren.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Come. Let's go back together.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Because we only have this one life.'' | |||
