[ VIII ] – Last Blood / FINAL

…What more is there to say? In the face of my defeat, what else can be said? It was my loss, and it was a fair one at that. So what is there to say at the end? There is nothing else for me but to ponder my last moments before I return to the primordial data from which I was spawned.
Don't stop.
That was my one request of you, Victor of the Holy Grail War. My one request to you, who had come to represent my beliefs. You were the living proof that conflict is the key to growth from stagnation, the wheat of progress culled from the chaff of torpor. You overcame a languid existence and survived because you were the fittest.
…Well, you certainly did notstop.
The up-and-coming, infamous boy genius;
The knight struggling with his identity for the sake of a simple wish;
The Cyber Ghost, a kindred spirit to you and me;
The zealous lunatic;
The assassin;
The girl who was once an ally;
…And the King who would inherit the world…
You infallibly claimed victory from each and every one of your opponents by exerting your superiority over them on the field of battle, as it was determined according to my theories.
…You did not stop for anyone…
…You did not even stop for me.
In that sense, at least, my own wish has been granted.
Finally, at the end, an anomalous existence overcomes an anomalous existence.
How ironic, and yet…how fitting it is…
If I am just a ghost of the past then it is now time for Twice H. Peaceman to again fade away into nothingness and into the next life.
Go on now and take your wish. Take what is rightfully yours. Step into Heaven's Cage and seat yourself on a throne of kings wrought by your own hands. Enter the endless maze of the photonic crystal's matrix and impose your will on reality.
You deserve it.
Even if we know what will happen when you enter the core of SERAPH, still…
…You deserve it.
