And it didn't tell you it was going to possess you? Or - what was the exact promise that it made with you?

The promise was Mari's safety. It meant to assist me if I agreed, but I didn't want its help; that's when it threw the pretense of negotiations out the window and helped itself to my body.

[Who would ever think possession is a good form of assistance?]

...So you didn't even agree to anything. It just offered you that promise and then when you said no, it went for it anyways?

[horrifying!!]

That's what happened.

[Pathetic, really. But heartbreaking when he thinks about the people it'll go for next.]

Sieghart... I'm so sorry.

[first and foremost, though he does have other questions.]

Don't be.

Well, is there anything else?

[he still looks pretty sorry! but.]

Is it still there inside you, or - did it leave once Flayn was dead?

I can't say for certain, but . . . I felt more like myself after the verdict was read.

[he nods.]

...What are you going to do, tomorrow?

What else? I'm going to die.

...How can you be so calm about this?

I'm immortal. I've died more times than I can count by now.

[If anything, he's angrier that his execution will be used to harm the others.]

But more importantly . . . I'm way too stubborn to take no for an answer.

[he pauses for a moment before he nods, certain.]

We'll get you back. And we'll find a way to make sure Mari is safe, too.

If you're offering, how can I refuse?

I'm counting on you. And . . . take care of yourself.

You, too. Hopefully there's going to be a way to send us a message from wherever you go... It'd be nice to hear that you're safe.

Communication is key. I'm not one for writing letters, but I'll send you something if there is.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's better than daycare.

. . . If there's no proper food, I really will die.

If there's a way to send you guys letters, I'll try to shove stuff from the restaurant in there and see if it works.

[helping]

I knew I could count on you. Do you think a piece of chocolate would fit?

You could ask for any kind of food, and you're starting with a singular piece of chocolate?

. . . Come on. How can anyone resist chocolate? The small things are what make a difference.

I'm not saying you shouldn't like chocolate, I'm saying I'm surprised that your first request was for one square of it.

If I ask for too much, don't you think it may not make the travel?

I guess starting small isn't a bad idea... Maybe the week afterwards I'll go wild and put it two pieces.
