...Looks like someone up there likes me. Guess I should be thankful that I'm not dead.

This gives me some time to prepare for the battle... Lorelei's power is difficult to control.

I'm afraid I can't answer that precisely...All I can say is that this place brings together people from alternate universes and timeframes, and brings them here.

...Heh. Seems like just my luck for me to end up here now.

Are you not pleased to see me, Gailardia?

O-of course I am, it's just... totally not what I was expecting to happen today. Well, not that I wasn't expecting to be seeing you before the day was up.

I see. I usually tend to surprise versions like you when I approach them...It seems I've perished during their childhood.

Y-yeah, that pretty much covers me too...

[Offers him a smile] It always brings me such joy to see you all grown up...

*smiles back* It's good to see you again too, Mother. ...Haven't been around anyone who's not against me recently.

Against you? What could you have possibly done to gain such disapproval?

It's... complicated, but suffice it to say... a lot.

Well, start explaining yourself then, Gailardia.

...Well... to start it all off, I have to explain Luke to you...

Basically, after Hod's destruction, Van, Pere, and I went to Baticul to get revenge on Kimlasca. Van took made a student of the Duke Fabre's son, and trained him. ...And then he kidnapped him and replicated him.

Kidnapped? Replicated...?

Like I said, it's complicated.

What I do have to wonder is where you've gotten this thirst for revenge. I thought we raised you better than that, Gailardia.

They...

They killed you... and Father and Mary, too. I... I was just a kid, and Vandesdelca convinced me it was what needed to happen.

I am aware of what happened, and I understand if must have been tough for you. Still, you are a grown man now, and I hope you realize that the choice for revenge isn't the way to go.

I know that now.

But back then...

Go on with your story, Child.

...Well, what matters the most...

Van started plotting against the Score, since it foretold the Hod War. He planned to destroy the world and create a fake one in its place that would be free from the Score.

...Until he gave up on it.

...And I took it over.

And why did you make that choice?

It's the only way to free the world.

Do you still believe that right now?

...Yeah.

[Just falls silent for a moment.]
