| 1 | kizunatalk023_msg0001 | 84 | When I look at it now, this capital of
yours is pretty prosperous. |
| 2 | kizunatalk023_msg0002 | 84 | Far cry from Gormott. |
| 3 | kizunatalk023_msg0003 | 84 | ...Is that how you see it, Nia? |
| 4 | kizunatalk023_msg0004 | 84 | Well, am I wrong? |
| 5 | kizunatalk023_msg0005 | 84 | Your technology is so much more
advanced than Gormott's, and you've
got army facilities, hot springs... |
| 6 | kizunatalk023_msg0006 | 84 | Looks to me like you've got all you
need right here. I guess I don't get why
you had to go and annex Gormott... |
| 7 | kizunatalk023_msg0007 | 84 | ...Mor Ardain generally has a rather
hot climate, you see. |
| 8 | kizunatalk023_msg0008 | 84 | We developed by actively exploiting
technology which uses the heat, as well
as that we obtained through salvage. |
| 9 | kizunatalk023_msg0009 | 84 | But as the Titan nears the end of its
lifetime, the temperature has started
rising steadily. |
| 10 | kizunatalk023_msg0010 | 84 | Ironically, while this has made our
heat-powered technologies even more
efficient... |
| 11 | kizunatalk023_msg0011 | 84 | Our farmland has done very much
the opposite of flourish. |
| 12 | kizunatalk023_msg0012 | 84 | The Titan's lifetime, huh... |
| 13 | kizunatalk023_msg0013 | 84 | Yes, it shouldn't be long now.
The day when Mor Ardain's Titan
becomes uninhabitable. |
| 14 | kizunatalk023_msg0014 | 84 | Sensing that, the Senate started a war
to conquer a new home for our people. |
| 15 | kizunatalk023_msg0015 | 84 | ...That'd be Gormott, then. |
| 16 | kizunatalk023_msg0016 | 84 | ...Indeed. |
| 17 | kizunatalk023_msg0017 | 165 | What do I say to that? |
| 18 | kizunatalk023_msg0018 | 164 | You realize there was a better way? |
| 19 | kizunatalk023_msg0019 | 164 | All this because of dumb pride... |
| 20 | kizunatalk023_msg0101 | 84 | ...Was there, now? |
| 21 | kizunatalk023_msg0102 | 84 | Our two governments could've just
talked, got to know each other,
become friends... |
| 22 | kizunatalk023_msg0103 | 84 | We could've worked together on this! |
| 23 | kizunatalk023_msg0104 | 84 | Just like you and me. We were enemies
at first, sure, but now we're allies,
fighting on the same side. |
| 24 | kizunatalk023_msg0105 | 84 | If our nations could've done the same,
it wouldn't have had to come to war. |
| 25 | kizunatalk023_msg0106 | 84 | ...Perhaps so. |
| 26 | kizunatalk023_msg0107 | 84 | If everyone in this world thought like
you do, terror and strife wouldn't be
so commonplace. |
| 27 | kizunatalk023_msg0108 | 84 | Well, come on... You're not just gonna
give up, are you? |
| 28 | kizunatalk023_msg0109 | 84 | What do you mean? |
| 29 | kizunatalk023_msg0110 | 84 | If there's no need for strife, then
we should just get rid of it. |
| 30 | kizunatalk023_msg0111 | 84 | Rex told us, right?
If we reach the World Tree, there'll
be no need for fighting any more. |
| 31 | kizunatalk023_msg0112 | 84 | You think Elysium is the answer to all
our troubles, do you? |
| 32 | kizunatalk023_msg0113 | 84 | I don't care if people laugh, call it
a pipe dream, or whatever... |
| 33 | kizunatalk023_msg0114 | 84 | I'd rather be an optimist than just
despair at the state of the world. |
| 34 | kizunatalk023_msg0115 | 84 | Haha... You have a point. |
| 35 | kizunatalk023_msg0116 | 84 | I hope you'll lend us your strength to
reach that goal, Mòrag. It'd be grand
if we could count on your support. |
| 36 | kizunatalk023_msg0117 | 84 | I will. They call me the Empire's finest,
and I intend to prove it. |
| 37 | kizunatalk023_msg0201 | 84 | What do you mean? |
| 38 | kizunatalk023_msg0202 | 84 | You didn't have to act so high and
mighty. You coulda been humble. |
| 39 | kizunatalk023_msg0203 | 84 | But no. I dunno if you were refusing to
show weakness, or if you just felt you
were better than us... |
| 40 | kizunatalk023_msg0204 | 84 | But you put your damn pride above
all other things and chose to invade.
Am I wrong? |
| 41 | kizunatalk023_msg0205 | 84 | You started a war. Wanting to save
lives, you ended up losing lives.
How backwards is that? |
| 42 | kizunatalk023_msg0206 | 84 | If you can't make enough food... |
| 43 | kizunatalk023_msg0207 | 84 | why not just...bow your head and ask
if you could share? |
| 44 | kizunatalk023_msg0208 | 84 | I mean, we were enemies once, but
now we understand each other... |
| 45 | kizunatalk023_msg0209 | 84 | How could a sodding government
not even think of it? |
| 46 | kizunatalk023_msg0210 | 84 | A point well made...
But the world is not as straightforward
a place as that. |
| 47 | kizunatalk023_msg0211 | 84 | Sometimes the most obvious way
is the most difficult to take. |
| 48 | kizunatalk023_msg0212 | 84 | Cor... People are such a pain... |
| 49 | kizunatalk023_msg0213 | 84 | No question... |
| 50 | kizunatalk023_msg0214 | 84 | That's exactly why I want to support
the boy, and other upright people
like him. |
| 51 | kizunatalk023_msg0215 | 84 | You mean Rex? |
| 52 | kizunatalk023_msg0216 | 84 | A world with no strife...
Can you imagine something so
wonderful, if it were true? |
| 53 | kizunatalk023_msg0217 | 84 | And if there's anyone who could ever
make it true, it's him. |
| 54 | kizunatalk023_msg0218 | 84 | Every age needs its own dreamers
to forge new paths, after all. |
| 55 | kizunatalk023_msg0219 | 84 | Hah... You're full of surprises, Mòrag.
You always struck me as straight-laced. |
| 56 | kizunatalk023_msg0220 | 84 | But here you are, believing in the
Elysium story. |
| 57 | kizunatalk023_msg0221 | 84 | It's not just little boys and girls that
follow their dreams, is it? |
| 58 | kizunatalk023_msg0223 | 84 | I too want to see the fruits of this
dream you all share. That's why I'm
with you. |
| 59 | kizunatalk023_msg0224 | 84 | Well, whatever your motive,
it's nice to have you with us, Mòrag. |
| 60 | kizunatalk023_msg0225 | 84 | Yeah, I think we can make good use
of the Empire's finest! |
| 61 | kizunatalk023_msg0226 | 84 | Please do. |
| 62 | kizunatalk023_msg0227 | 84 | No matter what path we tread,
I'll be there to help you on the way... |
