<text>Once again, no dreams today.</text>

<text>That was some good quality sleep.</text>

<text>The early morning air brings with it a briny scent, characteristic of the seaside.</text>

<text>A quilt, soaked in moisture, rigidly covers my body.</text>

<text>Behind the curtains shines the square-shaped light of the windows.</text>
|
|
<text>It is indeed a new day.</text>
|
|
<text>We will pack our luggage, and drive back to London. The results of Ada's deciphering work should be waiting for us.</text>
|
|
<text> … But I have a strange sense of foreboding.</text>
|
|
<text>I keep feeling that the fates of myself and the people around me will soon undergo a great change.</text>
|
|
<text>That is something I had once avoided confronting.</text>
|
|
<text>At one time, under the excuse of “shelving theories”, I had refused to think any further.</text>
|
|
<text> … I'm actually not all that fond of London.</text>
|
|
<text>I just feel that, living under the same roof, we have all gotten used to each other's presence.</text>
|
|
<text>Even Welt seems like he has always been there with us.</text>
|
|
<text>I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that this peace will last forever.</text>

<text>Yet, military organisations such as Schicksal are prone to trampling over everything besides the right to life.</text>
|
|
<text>In life and death situations, this is indeed something that cannot be helped.</text>
|
|
<text>But, unilaterally pursuing a single kind of right will, in many cases, also tarnish that right itself.</text>
|
|
<text>If the fundamental “principles” of a military organization were to suffer such a subversion — </text>
|
|
<text> — Then it will gradually become the same abhorrent existence as the enemies it once destroyed.</text>
|
|
<text>This is regardless of its leader, whether they be a political and military mastermind such as George III or Napoleon I, or a befuddled incompetent fool like Charles I or Louis XVI.</text>

<speak chara="haNoFace">First of all, congratulations on your successful decryption, explorers of the distant future.</speak>
|
|
<speak chara="haNoFace">I do not know what kind of experience it is to travel back and forth across oceans in your era. Maybe it is a trivial thing.</speak>
|
|
<speak chara="haNoFace">But still, I would like you to take your time and think carefully … </speak>
|
|
<speak chara="haNoFace">About what you will do with the information after you have found the last piece of Soulium.</speak>
|

<speak chara="haNoFace">I trust you remember the conclusion I mentioned earlier, yes?</speak>

<speak chara="haNoFace">Schicksal's brute-force methods will never defeat the Honkai.</speak> <!-- "硬桥硬马" = "with hard bridge and hard horse" from a term based in Nanquan ("Southern Fist") fighting style and popularised by Hong Kong martial arts films. It espouses that one can fight steadily by training with martial arts methods that simulate the stance of a horse (with the feet) and the structural integrity of a bridge (with the arms). It also has implications of inflexibility in the face of a new challenge. -->

<speak chara="haNoFace">Here, I will admit … this is merely my personal opinion.</speak>

<speak chara="haNoFace">Although I still believe that this judgement is correct — </speak>

<speak chara="haNoFace">I won't insist that you endorse my point of view. Nobody is perfect.</speak>

<speak chara="haNoFace">In the previous video, you would have seen me in my younger days — </speak>

|
|
<speak chara="haNoFace">But at least, as I continued to live my life incognito, I've learned to observe this world with a broader perspective.</speak>
|

<speak chara="haNoFace">Rather than being blindly hostile to anyone, I've focused instead on improving the ability to make good judgments.</speak>

<speak chara="haNoFace">I want you all to do the same.</speak>

<speak chara="haNoFace">That you can listen intently to the deepest voice in your hearts.</speak>

<speak chara="haNoFace">You must know, in this world, the one thing that you cannot take back is time and effort wasted on misjudgement, acting alone in a way that defeats your own purpose.</speak> <!-- "南辕北辙" = "south-pointing axle, north-pointing wheel tracks"; "虚度光阴" = "Cast day and night (i.e. time) into the void" -->

<speak chara="haNoFace">She was founded by such a group of people — </speak>
