* Mydei's hope... His steadfast hope... * It's... infectious, isn't it, Phainon? * ... So, until we see fate with our own eyes... * Let's believe, too. * I... I want to. I want to believe again. * I want to believe... the recurrence can change! * That there isn't just one ending! * But... * What would that be...? * If there was something else, what would it be...? * And how do we know * It wouldn't be something even worse? * Hey, Phainon... * Can I tell you * ... a foolish dream I have? * No matter what... * I... want to stay beside you and Hyacine. * When the sun comes up again... * I want tomorrow to be the same as yesterday. * And the next day * To be just the same as that. * That in the end * We can always go back to the way things were before. * Since Polyxia left... * All I've been doing has just been... * Wandering around aimlessly. * Staying distant. Making little handicrafts. * It feels like... I've just been watching myself through glass. * Watching someone else move me through my life. * That's why I want... to do something crazy. To break free. * But, I can't. I couldn't. * Because I'm just Castorice. * A Castorice that has to do Castorice things. * Just like Phainon has to do Phainon things... * But Phainon... you changed. * Phainon, YOU actually changed! * You found out how to stop being Phainon! * Phainon, when I cast "Netherveil..." * I... * I felt stronger than I have in my entire life. * I know... it's horrible. It's horrible to say that, but... * Phainon. * You... if it's you telling me to, I can do anything. * If you tell me to, I can do things that are impossible. * Things no one else can do. * So, why don't we do it? * Why don't we do... * "Something crazy?" * Tell me. * Tell me to call the ferry... * And let's cross the sea of souls! * To somewhere the living have never been before! * I kind of thought you and Castorice were a thing. * ... and I know... that's not true, right? * Because, she likes... me. * ... so why does she have to talk to you alone? * Why can't either of you tell me what it's about? * Why was she excited, and you were... * ... but that's not all, right? * Why was your hair wet? * Why did both of you seem so... far away, after? * ... I don't... understand any of it...
