Once the village was saved, I decided to set forth to travel the lands beyond the island.
If I am to protect the island, ignorance will only be a burden. So I wish to learn more about the world and its people, so that I can use that knowledge to help build a better future for the mustari.
Although... those plans were cut short mere days after I made landfall.
I met an unfathomably cruel man, and though I usually would not consider such a thing, I resolved to kill him. But I was inexperienced, and I was bested.
... I suppose so. I was raised not to fear death, but... even so, there are people who I wish I had protected. If I return, I may be able to complete my duty properly.
ramiel tends to be on the side of 'just stay in heaven, it's great here.' but that's usually for people who aren't sure about heaven itself. from this conversation, it seems like that's not really even a factor to eupha. she wants to go back to life, and ramiel doesn't think that's a wrong answer either.
before she says anything more: a memory. from 07:26 to 8:43. ]
[ well. she kind of knows what it's like, to be the one person whose very life can be used for an important purpose. she understands a society that would ask a person to make such a sacrifice. ]

That person... he was going to die?
no subject
We needed him to act as a figurehead. But in order to do so, his body would be... overtaxed.

But think of it like he was sick. Making him do what we needed would make the sickness worse and worse until it killed him.

But his identity was our leverage.

... Did he complete that duty?

I'm sorry. It looked like you cared for him.

Oh...
I cannot imagine how painful that must have been.

[ which is actually kind of a fucked up thing to be saying because people keep dying here. which she is also sad about. but. ]
no subject
If he has died, could he be in Heaven? In one of the places we cannot yet reach?
no subject
Well, honestly I'm leaving out a whole confusing bit at the end, so I'm not sure he's still dead.
