| 1 | kizunatalk018_msg0001 | 84 | There's a really great view of the
whole village from here, right? |
| 2 | kizunatalk018_msg0002 | 84 | Indeed! It's quite the vista. |
| 3 | kizunatalk018_msg0003 | 84 | Such a fine village it is, too... |
| 4 | kizunatalk018_msg0004 | 84 | Certainly no one is awash with luxury
down there. But still, the people are
remarkably happy. |
| 5 | kizunatalk018_msg0005 | 84 | Even when life is hard, they keep
smiling, keep looking forward. |
| 6 | kizunatalk018_msg0006 | 84 | I think of it as the continuation of
Vandham's spirit. He may be gone, but
his good deeds outlive him. |
| 7 | kizunatalk018_msg0007 | 84 | Yes, it's a fine thought, knowing
the man who built and protected
this village was once my Driver. |
| 8 | kizunatalk018_msg0008 | 165 | What should I say...? |
| 9 | kizunatalk018_msg0009 | 164 | Do you want to hear about Vandham? |
| 10 | kizunatalk018_msg0010 | 164 | Do you wish you could stay here? |
| 11 | kizunatalk018_msg0101 | 84 | Well... It seems a tad rude to
go on about my old Driver in
front of my current one. |
| 12 | kizunatalk018_msg0102 | 84 | But I've heard he was quite
the remarkable man.
Naturally, I'm curious. |
| 13 | kizunatalk018_msg0103 | 84 | He was one of the good guys, all right. |
| 14 | kizunatalk018_msg0104 | 84 | He had big muscles, a big voice,
and an even bigger heart. |
| 15 | kizunatalk018_msg0105 | 84 | It was Vandham who taught me
the basics of being a Driver. |
| 16 | kizunatalk018_msg0106 | 84 | More than that, in fact... |
| 17 | kizunatalk018_msg0107 | 84 | He taught me all about Blades, how to
fight, the way of the world... |
| 18 | kizunatalk018_msg0108 | 84 | I didn't know him for long, but he
taught me the most important things I
know. |
| 19 | kizunatalk018_msg0109 | 84 | Is that right... |
| 20 | kizunatalk018_msg0110 | 84 | He was the kind of solid, powerful
and dashing sort that is irresistible
to the opposite sex, I'll wager. |
| 21 | kizunatalk018_msg0111 | 84 | Erm, I'm not sure if he was that
much of a hit with the ladies.
But he was a great guy, that's for sure. |
| 22 | kizunatalk018_msg0112 | 84 | Hmmm. I feel the loss of my memories
of him very keenly. |
| 23 | kizunatalk018_msg0113 | 84 | Well, don't worry, Roc. |
| 24 | kizunatalk018_msg0114 | 84 | Like I said before. |
| 25 | kizunatalk018_msg0115 | 84 | The people of this village are carrying
on what he started. And so are we. |
| 26 | kizunatalk018_msg0116 | 84 | I hope I can become as good as him
some day. I may still have a way to go... |
| 27 | kizunatalk018_msg0117 | 84 | But just you stick with me, Roc,
and one day, you'll see! |
| 28 | kizunatalk018_msg0118 | 84 | I don't doubt it. |
| 29 | kizunatalk018_msg0119 | 84 | I promise to hold you to the same high
standards, Rex. |
| 30 | kizunatalk018_msg0201 | 84 | I wouldn't say that. |
| 31 | kizunatalk018_msg0202 | 84 | After all, it's not like I have any
memories of my time in this village. |
| 32 | kizunatalk018_msg0203 | 84 | But I believe something lives on here.
Something of Vandham, and of myself. |
| 33 | kizunatalk018_msg0204 | 84 | When I think about it, I can't help
but get a tad sentimental. |
| 34 | kizunatalk018_msg0205 | 84 | Yeah, I know what you mean. |
| 35 | kizunatalk018_msg0206 | 84 | It's like the village is full of memories...
Memories of you, memories of
Vandham. |
| 36 | kizunatalk018_msg0207 | 84 | I wonder how he and I used to spend
our days... |
| 37 | kizunatalk018_msg0208 | 84 | I think...you probably both lived
pretty normal lives, really. |
| 38 | kizunatalk018_msg0209 | 84 | Normal? |
| 39 | kizunatalk018_msg0210 | 84 | That's right. Vandham was the
everyday sort, you know? |
| 40 | kizunatalk018_msg0211 | 84 | I mean, he'd get up in the morning, see
to the kids, then he'd just eat a big
sausage sandwich. |
| 41 | kizunatalk018_msg0212 | 84 | Evenings, he'd drink a beer and chat
about what he was up to. Then he'd
just get a bit sleepy, and go to bed. |
| 42 | kizunatalk018_msg0213 | 84 | I think that's what he was trying to
build here. A place where people
could just...live normal lives. |
| 43 | kizunatalk018_msg0214 | 84 | I think that's what both of you
were always fighting for. |
| 44 | kizunatalk018_msg0215 | 84 | Fighting for a normal life...? |
| 45 | kizunatalk018_msg0216 | 84 | Then perhaps even now, that
normal life is what the people
of this village hold most dear. |
| 46 | kizunatalk018_msg0217 | 84 | Tell me, Rex... Would you say
Vandham was a kind person? |
| 47 | kizunatalk018_msg0218 | 84 | Kind, huh...? |
| 48 | kizunatalk018_msg0219 | 84 | I mean, he was straight up with
everyone. Maybe even blunt sometimes. |
| 49 | kizunatalk018_msg0220 | 84 | But he was a real gentle giant. |
| 50 | kizunatalk018_msg0221 | 84 | He'd probably get mad at me
for saying it, but I think he was
a lot like a father. |
| 51 | kizunatalk018_msg0222 | 84 | He's someone that I looked up to.
Someone I'd like to be like someday. |
| 52 | kizunatalk018_msg0223 | 84 | I can see you hold him in great
regard, Rex. I only wish I could
have met him myself. |
| 53 | kizunatalk018_msg0224 | 84 | He did everything he could to protect
us. I bet he's still watching over us
from somewhere, even now... |
| 54 | kizunatalk018_msg0225 | 84 | Well. In that case, I'd better make
sure he always sees me at my best! |
| 55 | kizunatalk018_msg0226 | 84 | Yeah... I reckon if we don't live
up to his expectations, we'll be
in for a right rollicking someday! |
