1. [The Tower's corrupted core had been vanquished, and along with it - what remained of Invicta's influence on the Kijin Realm.
The phantoms that helped out in the battle remain, but it won't stay that way for long: with the system essentially wiped, their time is short. One of them, at least, is making good use of it, by patting Astara on the head.]

Hah, look at you! All big and strong, and you look just like your mother.
I approve of your Craft, too. Say, where did you get the idea for that scarf? I wish I thought of that!

Dad...
[The same cannot be said for the other two, who are standing before Seta.]
Hm...

...

...

...Oh for goodness' sake, just say something already.

2. [After things have calmed down, the ghost trio finally have time to themselves. From a place in the tower overlooking the surroundings, they can see the city that the new generation of Kijin had built.]

Well, we've done everything we could at this point. The torch isn't in our hands anymore.

This is not so bad, is it? I didn't think they had it in them to make something like that.
Although, I'm not sure how 'Ryar feels about his daughter becoming the new Empress. That surprised me the most.

...They will do well.
Their companions are many...that was something we did not have.

3. [With business taken care of, it's time to head back. However, you might be surprised by some extra luggage you'll have to carry.
Stacks upon stacks of crates await you shortly before your departure, and three of Seta's four Generals are there to see you off.]

A little gift for you as thanks for helping us out. We couldn't have done it without you, after all.
And we've heard that you have problems too. So we'll join you against this Lady when we're done cleaning up here.

Here is something you may not realize: as the ones who climbed the Tower with Her Majesty, that technically makes you her Generals, not us. At least, according to that tradition.

Vallar is sulking. Forgetting about the Tower in the first place hit him really hard.
Anyway, enjoy your gifts. We try to grow the finest here.

He's your... err. [Izuru hesitates. He has the same hunch as Asagi but is he really right here? And the two don't look that too far apart age-wise, but that's Kijin for you.]
He's very important for you, right?

[She brings both her hands to her chest as she looks at the man. A deep breath follows.]
Before this...I had only heard your voice. Are you really...?
...
[After a short while, he nods.]
Yes.
I... did not expect that I would be able to see you like this.

About what happened in the past...about mother...
[In response to this, the man places a hand on Seta's head.]
That is only natural.
But sharing the entirety of that past would only put a greater burden on you...that is something you do not need more of as a leader.
All you should know is that your mother would be proud. Like you, she wished for happiness for all of us...not just those who went against Invicta.
[He looks in Izuru's direction.]
And your allies...your friends, are greater than what we had by far.

[Izuru gulps. Should he really be saying anything here?]
Seta went a long way. She was able to do so much. I'm really, super glad I could be her friend.

...When I left, I did not believe such a thing could happen. Although we sided with humanity, we were far too different to integrate - we had allies, not friends. So, we in the Foundation worked from the shadows...
But I was wrong. And now I only hope that you and your group will continue to support her as long as you are able.

Even back at the academy, we were kinda... separated from the rest. A group of misfits that kept to itself. But now, in UG and later Project Unification, I met a lot of people. All kinds of people, and we worked together, not just as allies but friends.
It's not just the kijin. It brought everyone together!

[The man nods at the Rabbit.]
That is all I can ask for.
This meeting itself is a miracle, but there is not enough time for me to say all that I wish to.
There is one thing that is more important than the rest, however...
...?
I am sorry, for everything that happened, Seta.
I thought it for the best...but the mistakes I made were many. In the end, it was you and your friends who suffered.

But we learn from them and get better. That's what matters.
