[As it turned out, Daniel's friends were real all along - or rather, based on Tam Defoe's old friends, acclaimed scientists Marjory Marita and Rupert Nestore, who came to UG's help during the final fight with Lost Seekers. And now, all three of them are sitting on a heavy duty (to sustain Daniel's size) couch, eating from a big bowl of popcorn and watching a movie. Though it's currently on pause, which means they focus on talking instead.]
I say, it's been quite a while since we had a movie night like this. Even though we did it all the time in university! Ahh, how time flies. Nostalgia truly is a force to reckon with!
Tam's - or Daniel's - tastes didn't change at all, though. Still a complete western nut.
Well. This genre just speaks to me. For some reason.
Now, there's no need to roast him too hard over it. This movie, for example, is quite well-done, and emotionally effective. Take that scene where Leo dies, for example - what a turn of events! And wasn't it made at a time when everyone still thought he is but a pretty face and can't really act?
Fair enough.
By the way, Daniel; I can't help but wonder about those things Godefroy saw before he died. Did he really saw the truth about God, whatever that is? Or just delusions caused by his damaged mind?
...I don't know. I guess we don't have any proof, one way or the other. But what I believe is that he saw the truth. Even if he was too mad to be lucid about it at that point.
It's always belief with you, isn't it? You don't change, old friend.
[Suddenly the door opens as someone enters - someone who used to have a cyborg body like Daniel, but, thanks to Jen's help before she died, now is more or less human again.]
Hey, back from the loo. What'd I miss?
Nothing. We paused the movie for you, April.
Y-yeah, of course. It was just a joke. I know how remotes work!
How reassuring. Centuries-old technology amazes various minds even today! Ho ho ho!
Hey, I mean it!
[Among the banter, Daniel starts the movie back again. He looks happy.]

So, what's everyone watching? Oh, and who are the new people?
From:
no subject
Close enough.
Gwen, those two are my friends. From before I became Daniel. They disabled the Guns of God in the fight, if you remember.
The generator burned out completely in the process, though. But I'd say it was worth it.
From:
no subject
Um, but you guys are real? And Daniel just...left, to join some cult?
From:
no subject
Well, Daniel here was always a bit of a reclusive hermit, disappearing for weeks, even months at a time, in order to work on his latest project. And that one time, those weeks became years!

Is this kid for real?
Hey, you're one of the Majestic Princes, aren't you? You look less princely than I expected, in the flesh. But regardless, it's quite an opportunity to meet one of the heroes who saved us from the Wulgaru. You wouldn't expect so many royals to be around in this modern day, and yet here we are!

[Awkward apologetic laughter.]
I'm not a real prince, you know. Well, but there's my mom, technically...
From:
no subject
Ohh? Your mother is of royal blood? Marvelous! You have to tell me all about it!
Here we go...
From:
no subject
But she's not the mother who raised me. I mean, I had a foster family, not that I remember them because of the academy erasing memories...
It's kinda complicated.
From:

Marjory. Please. Movie.
Oh, the movie can wait. Scientific progress, on the other hand, can't be stopped! Oh ho ho!

I think Captain Suzukaze can give you a whole document full of info on MJP if you really want.
From:

Izuru. Don't encourage her.
From:

Well, anyway it's a lot to take in all at once, right?
Maybe we should just watch the movie for now.
From:
no subject
Very well then. Let's proceed with the spectacle!
By the way, Daniel. Have you thought about returning to work as a researcher after this is all over?
Hmm. Not sure. A lot of my memory is missing. Knowledge, too. But if I stir it...
Let me think about it.

As brilliant as he was, Daniel has always been a, to put it in vulgar terms, weirdo hermit!
Thanks.
