Solis: Just be honest.

Solis: Please forgive me for being so frank in asking this, but...Solis: Your highness, you... Solis: You don't trust me anymore, do you?Solis: Even though, I would still do anything you asked for without hesitation.Solis: I swear that I won't even let Kotori, Corona, or anyone else deter me again.Solis: But somehow... Solis: It looks like I've messed up badly enough to lose years of trust in one night. With rapidly-assembled words, you immediately go for the worst possible case imaginable. You confront the potential reality that there's no trust left between the two of you anymore. Since that's your worst fear, then... It will be much easier if you could just get rid of it first and foremost. Solis: So...Solis: Am I... correct?Suvillan: ...Suvillan: ...Ha! ----> Solis: That is…

Try to be Kaji again.

Oh, god. Such a pathetic sight. Nevermind! Try being someone else. Desperate to run away from that humiliation, are we? Well, since you asked so nicely. You are now this presently un-humiliated person, in a completely different world, ascending the stairways of the Garnet Royal Tower. Solis: Were you called in for an audience with the prince? It's the other way around. This time, you've returned to see his highness of your own accord. Hopefully, you can have a conversation without Corona's interruptions for once. ----> Screw these long spiraling stairs, though! You've just cut quite the distance all the way from your hometown to this tower in the Royal Meadows, and now, you have to go up all these god damned stairs just to see his highness for a…

[I] Lune: Conclude tonight's business.

----> Prince Ruit: Elaborate. Lune: Try to understand...? Such is the unique existence of someone who embodies an entire world. You suppose it's futile to try understanding it. To put all this in simpler terms... Princes and princesses are aware of all their people, and all parts of their world as a whole, at all times. That means they're also aware to some degree when certain anomalies happen somewhere inside their world. For instance, when someone enters or leaves it. This tale of "tides" is the way his highness came to describe his experience. Such a feeling must be something impossible to even imagine for a regular person, much less for a ruler to live with. Some days, it makes his highness pretty cranky, complaining about all the noise in…

[I] Lune: Be honest... but not too blunt.

Prince Ruit: Take pity on this clueless, sheltered lady. Ruit: Here you go.Lune: ?Ruit: You clearly need this more than I do.Lune: Pardon? I do not.Ruit: It breaks my heart how uneducated you are on this vital subject.Lune: Please, your highness,Lune: Do not pity me over not reading this of all things.Lune: I'd rather deploy for war than consume a single word in your Tome.Ruit: Ha, how sad. Ruit: Then, I suppose I will- [I] Lune: You can't let work be ignored any further. Lune: But it would do good to confiscate it.Ruit: Whoa- HEY!Ruit: You cannot do that!Lune: Why not? Ruit: I need it for my learning!Lune: "Learning" looks a lot like reading a book during work hours behind my back.Lune: But surely, surely, Lune: That's just me being…

[I] Lune: Witness TRUE COOLNESS.

O...oh. How... stupendous? Yes, that's the word. It is stupefying how expected this outcome was. Lune: Attempt to tear your eyes away from this gaudy page. You're trying, you're trying so hard... Ruit: Just look, Lune!Ruit: Look at this man amongst men!Ruit: don't you see how he shines despite his mortality!? ...But his highness sure is making this difficult! It's so unbelievably garish that you can't even look away! Lune: Attempt the opposite. Carefully ponder upon shiny shoujo manga male. Lune: ...Lune: He seems disturbing.Ruit: What! No way!Lune: I'm only observing his illustrated conduct.Lune: See, why must he be so pushy towards this... Definitely-not-Selene lady?Lune: She must depart to fight for the world's sake, Lune: Yet all he can think about is himself.Ruit: My god, Lune!Ruit: The Galactic Princess' identity…

[I] Lune: Wake up, sleepyhead! A real-life PRINCE is talking to you!

Lune: ...?Ruit: Hey.Ruit: Are you still dozed off?Ruit: Are you even able to hear me right now...?Lune: Ah.Lune: I can, I can. My apologies. You have just returned from Icicle Bay, and you are very much awake, actually... Because you weren't even asleep in the first place! Therefore, there's no such case of valid sleepyheadness accusations here. Still, does his highness not understand that falling asleep would be an extremely rude thing to dare do in his presence? ----> Ruit: I do not appreciate being forced to watch over your sleeping face.Lune: Mm.Lune: It isn't sleeping.Ruit: So you say, but here you are, acting as if you have just woken up!Ruit: Again, might I add!Lune: That's only a side effect.Lune: If this body must stay immobile for the duration,Lune: Then…

---->

You are now a barely conscious Kaji. You suddenly realize that everything in your life, everything in the universe, all that was, and all that will be, it all inevitably lead to you getting your teeth kicked in by a bunch of kids. This is a fact that losing so embarrassingly after a spooky fake-out was just a thing that was supposed to happen to you all along, at this exact point of your life. Such a defeat was written down, inevitably fated, and brought about by the rotations of the gears of destiny. But at the very least, none of your subordinates saw this humiliating display, right...? Ow, well, at least the ground is nice and cold. Maybe you're just gonna close your eye (singular) for a bit.

Kaji: Be overwhelmed.

He doesn't seem overwhelmed to you, but maybe you can fix that. You're not that weak, and he's not that strong. You can take him on. And even though most of your quote-unquote reinforcements' capabilities are unknown, they're bound to be useful in some way, and quantity's still a great advantage. But before any of that, you have to say something very important. It’s been nagging at you for a while now. Kaji: It seems like everyone's ignoring you. Assert yourself! Nino: Diplomacy. Point out that he's outnumbered if you all really have to fight. Dammit, how can he be so casual about this! You expected a hissy fit, not this confidently nonchalant response. Intimidation tactics seem futile here, but really, you're just buying a little bit of time until…

Aria: Believe in the angel's words.

Aria: You're strong enough to destroy this wall? YES, YES, YES. THAT'S THE FACE YOU WANTED TO SEE. PERFECTLY MATCHED WITH THE EXACT WORDS YOU WANTED TO HEAR. Wait, wait, you gotta play it cool. Mei: Don't let anything show on your face. If you REALLY think about it, nothing you say is a lie if you succeed, so like... You're still a pure angel, retroactively free of sin, as good as a newborn. It's toooootally fine! Meimona: Duh.Meimona: More like strong enough to break a mountain.Five: Woah!Five: But mountain is... so big!Meimona: That doesn't matter when I'm involved, kid.Aria: O-okay then, um...Aria: Your name is...?Meimona: Meimona!Meimona: Or Mei for short, yeah!Aria: Okay, miss Meimona...
