The Glory Star

[star_of_sad]

Glory Star was Asakim. He was pretending to be Toby all along... just as we all suspected.

But it still hurts. I... I'd lie if I said it doesn't, because it does. A lot.

[While explaining herself, Setsuko keeps glancing at her Virgola. Equipped with a new flight system, and more importantly - a heavily modified Carver, one whose power she unlocked herself through sadness.]

Asakim wanted this. He said something about a sphere's power awakening. I don't know what he's hoping to achieve, however...

If he thinks I will lie down and let him do what he wants, he is sorely mistaken.

What's a sphere? You don't have any mysterious gems with you, do you?

[star_of_sad]

No! If I did you'd know by now.

It's pretty obvious Asakim is talking about my power. But... it doesn't have a physical representation, does it?

[cloningblues]

Only you would know the answer to this question. Or him.

What is his ultimate goal? At this point it looks like he's doing this just... to make your life miserable...

[star_of_sad]

He wanted my power to awaken. But why? What does he have to gain from it?

...

Is it like the Balmarians, possibly?

[cloningblues]

I don't know. But I think...

He wants to destroy your life. To stop thinking about everything except what he took away from you.

[star_of_sad]

And when my life's in ruins... what does he hope to accomplish?

What does he think I'll do, then?

[cloningblues]

I don't know. But...

Don't let him do it. He did some horrible things to you... But don't forget about the good things because of them.

[star_of_sad]

I... I won't.

It's true that Asakim hurt many of my friends. But - they are not the only ones. Toby, Denzel... it hurts that they are no longer here, but I can't act like they're the only people that matter.


I know there are others who care for me.

[cloningblues]

[Nod.] But don't just think about others. Think about yourself, too.

[star_of_sad]

You don't have worry about that, actually...

I was just going to eat something sweet. Maybe a parfait.

[cloningblues]

That's the Setsuko I know.
