You transmit a great regret. <span class="mu-i">If it is truly what you desire, then I will take your body. But let it be known that I think this is short-sighted. I wished to try to help you the best I could as I can, and I think that would lead to the best outcome, but you have rejected me. You are too mad to think carefully, even if it is understandable.</span>
Kinzou replies. A bit calmer now that you have accepted. 「I've followed everything you've said up until now. But I can't take this lying down. I know my own talent. Or lack of it. If I take things the short way, how long would it take to match Kanekatsu? Five years, if I'm lucky? 10 years or more, if I'm not? I can't wait that long. It has a chance of working out, but too much could change, and too much could put me and mom in danger.」
「I am mad because you gave my dad power, but didn't protect him. But I'm asking you to do this because I trust you. And I'm twisting your arm because I trust my own judgement.」
「...Anyways, that's that. I need you to do the things I don't have the strength to do, and you need a body. Works out for both of us, right, Grandpa Hops?」
<span class="mu-i">...I'm not going to change your mind, am I?</span>
The determination floods back in. His choice has been made.
<span class="mu-i">Let it commence then. Any last words to pass on, or final notes? Some of you will be integrated with me, but if there's anything at all I may not think of...</span>
「...Tell mom I love her. Give something back to Brynn in return for that brush. See a volcano. Go to the capital. I think you know the rest.」
A pause of several minutes. <span class="mu-i">I will begin then.</span>
「Go for it. Live a life that's great for the both of us.」
<span class="mu-b">POSSESSION BEGINNING. MOBILIZING SPIRITUAL ENERGY... PREPARING... 3... 2... 1...</span>
