Everybody fears being forgotten after death, you know.
I am no different, of course.
Oh, the wounds are still so fresh, see?

You, the one person who could mourn my memory, chose to forget me like this!
The only person who was there for my final moments!
Not only that, but the one I GAVE those moments for, too!
Don't you want to make it fair?
It's all you've been thinking ever since, I can tell.
Why am I the only one who has to die so young, not before seeing my dreams through?
It's okay! You can make it fair!
This way, it will all be forgiven, Ari-

Aria: That's enough of using his voice from you.
- Five: A-Aria!!
- Aria: It’s okay now, Five.
- Aria: Stay alert and get back somewhere safe.
- Aria: There is nothing to worry about.
- Aria: I’ll protect us both.

It shall be shed and cast off.

The crafty spirit casts off its illusory image.
Throughout the earlier struggle, one fact became clear to you:
This spirit is absolutely not normal. At least, it's very much unlike what you've encountered before. It seems desperate for triumph, and somewhat more... Bloodthirsty, more than they usually are. You don't know the reasons behind any of it.
But nonetheless, you are as ready as can be for the unexpected.
You don't have much of a choice besides that.
It will all be alright, as long as you're the target, and not--
Aria: !
Oh no.
Aria: Call out to Five
Aaarrgh, Stupid thought-seeing spirits!
At this rate, you're not going to be able to intercept that attack!
At this rate, you're not going to be able to intercept that attack!
Thinking quickly, you shout to Five and warn her to dodge as loudly as you can.
All you can hope for right now is for her to avoid a fatal wound...
At least, long enough for you to close the gap.
At least, long enough for you to close the gap.
Five: Dodge!
And she somehow manages it, with only a few scratches.
...For now.
Aria: Close the gap.

Beat fuck. Make dead.
