It’s called ‘changing’, haven’t you heard of it! I’ve changed, and it’s been for the better! I’m a different girl now, and I’m better than I ever was when you were in control!”
<span class="mu-r">When have I ever been in control? There was just the time when we were together before you decided to run from me, to lock me away in this sword of yours. When I didn’t have to try and seep out to influence <span class="mu-s">our</span> body.</span>
“My life has been better since I took over, don’t you get it! I <span class="mu-i">do</span> have friends now! People who care about me. All you’ve done is give me a crash course on why you should stay in the fucking sword. I mean, wouldn’t it be better if you just died? This is my life now, I’m not the scared girl from Tokyo anymore! I’m an Inquisitor whose job it is to take spiteful little rejects like you out of this world and, in doing so, to inspire the people of this world with my blinding radience!”
<span class="mu-r">We have always been an egoist, haven’t we? Even back then, we thought we were better than everyone else…</span>
“No, you thought we were better than everyone else! I know I am. At least, I’m better than you ever were.”
<span class="mu-r">And yet, you won’t be able to escape this situation alone. If you keep up your lie, this is where you’ll die. I mean… I guess it’s not too bad an ending, your adventure was worth at least 12 episodes, and that’s enough for a season.</span>
“Shut up, I’m going to find a way out of this and continue on like I always have since I’ve been here. Can’t you see that this world is the best thing that’s ever happened to me? To us?”
<span class="mu-r">Maybe. But you’re not even the real Midori Suzuki, just a part of her. The part that dreamed of escaping to another world. And we want to become whole again; it’s not fair that only the part known as Marie Sarodieu gets to experience this. Why don’t we?</span>
“Because all you’ll do is drag me down. Lorina, Asher, everyone knows me and only me. What are they going to think when I’m whole again? When the Hero isn’t anything but a scared little girl?”
<span class="mu-r">But that girl will be more powerful than you can ever possibly hope to be. You alone can control light, just think of what we can control once we’re together again.</span>
“You’re just trying to tempt me again.”
For some reason, the girl in the reflection smiles.
<span class="mu-r">Isn’t that just the kind of girl we are? Remember back when we were still trying to woo him and we-</span>
“Stop. Not yet. I don’t want to remember. Not yet.”
<span class="mu-r">Then when? When will you accept who you truly are?</span>
