I, um... i-if I did anything to hurt anyone during this experiment, I-I'm really sorry. Everyone else is okay, r-right? Some of the things people got turned into were pretty scary.. I'm g-glad this is all over with.

I-I hope we don't have another experiment like that any time soon. I think I liked the ones that didn't involve being changed into anything b-better.

Would it, um... w-would it be okay if I came home now?

Then you probably got into a fight. How strong is he?

P-pretty strong, I think. Richter could probably tell you more than I can.

I don't think he'd be interested in telling all this to a stranger. He doesn't seem like the type.

He doesn't even t-tell me a lot of things.

You'll have to find out everything you can about Ratatosk yourself, though. If he's a part of you and something you can't control, you have to find out more for your own sake, as well as everyone else.

The only people I can r-really ask about it are Tenebrae and Richter, and I don't know how much Tenebrae is willing to tell me just yet. H-he keeps saying it will mess up the timeline.

He should be more concerned about the people here.

Somehow I don't think that's really crossed his mind.

I don't know these people, so I can't really say much. But this is your responsibility, Emil. Do what's best for the people of Luceti.

What's best for the people... right!

...And have a little faith in us. People aren't so easily scared off as you think.

... I guess I'm still getting used t-to that. The people here really are different.

That's fine. You're not the only one. Before I came here I wouldn't have said any of this to you.

Before I came here, I would n-never have had the courage to talk to people like this, or... to t-tell Richter how I felt about him.

People can always change, or surprise you. I--

...Nevermind.

Don't expect everyone to immediately accept you if you reveal yourself. Some people might get angry that you hid it, or they might be scared. Everyone reacts differently. But you can't let that stop you, either.

You're right. I d-didn't say anything because I was scared... I was scared that people would be angry at me, or that they would be afraid of me once they learned t-the truth. But if they don't want to be my friends after that, t-then... then they weren't really my friends to start with.

'Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality.' T-that's what Richter told me when we first met.
