rarsneezeshi i hope y'all are ready to cry over
> jade being jade
> jade & luke interaction
> ANISE AND ION RECONCILIATION AFTER [REDACTED] IN ABYSS BECAUSE RAYS HAS WEIRD TIME TRAVEL GOING ON
also like less crying (except from laughing) over jade and dist being up to their usual shenanigans
[you defeat nebilim]
nebilim: my fonons are... separating... what's.. what is...
[she starts casting]
jade: no!
dist: yes... lorelei's power undid the seal on her artes as well as herself, so...
ion: the planetary fonic arte... she's going to use it!
jade: ...
[jade starts casting, too]
anise: master ion! dist, you too! we need to get everyone who fainted out of here!
[ion takes a step back]
ion: but...
anise: if the colonel starts casting seriously--
dist: don't worry so much, anise. they'll be fine if we just move them out of range.
[nebilim is still casting]
nebilim: heaven's calamity...
[so is jade]
jade: ...earth's greif...
ion: they're both using the planetary arte!?
[camera pan to nebilim]
nebilim: ...to absolve all sin...
[camera pans to jade]
jade: ...now, let the sword of judgement fall!
jade: --professor nebilim.
nebilim: !
jade: farewell.
nebilim: shi--
[jade lets the arte loose at her; the screen goes white]
nebilim: GGYYAAAAAAH!?
[screen fades back in; scene change
jade and dist talk on the snowy mountain outside the cave; jade's back is to dist]
jade: ...
dist: jade. among other things, you still have your pride as a researcher of fomicry, don't you? you just couldn't go without attempting this experiment. from the beginning your formicry research was always about testing the hypothesis that the original's data was stored within the replica--
jade: yet it was pointless to study it here; i knew that
dist: and yet you took the plunge, anyway
jade: i'm not denying anything. that desire is always inside me, after all.
dist: then why!!!! why do you oppose the research!?
jade: didn't you already say why?
jade: "even despite coming to this world with all this new technology and things to discover, your only priority is making sure luke stays alive longer"
jade: here we have the technology from our world, and from this new world. i'm testing out all possibilities to find a way to keep luke alive.
dist: it... was the same way when you were trying to resurrect professor nebilim.
jade: yes, exactly the same. but luke is still alive. that's why i want to try everything i can. and once i've figured out the answer, then i can move onto the next thing
dist: you know that road is nothing more than a foolish detour
dist: but it's fine. i've grown used to waiting. but *i* don't have any emotional attatchment to that replica like you do. and alone, if i must, i will find a way to bring the professor back from that moment
jade: what do you mean by that?
dist: the same as you did. sometimes you play with the meaning of words to suit your own needs-- but i don't.
dist: finding a way to save the replica luke. finding a way to resurrect professor nebilim. it's all the same in the end.
jade: ...i suppose so.

[SCENE CHANGE: MIEU AND ANISE, ELSEWHERE IN THE SNOWY MOUNTAIN OUTSIDE THE CAVE]
mieu: master!!! is he okay!?
anise: hmm... i think so. it looks like the snow cushioned his fall, so he didn't hit too hard. he should be okay.
ion: anise... you're amazing
anise: huh? what do you mean, master ion?
ion: when jade started casting the planetary arte, you immediately realized what that meant and tried to get everyone out of the blast radius. but i wasn't even paying attention to the consequences...
anise: i mean, i've had a lot of experience... besides, i'd say dist was even more amazing than i was. even if he is a stinky glasses rat man
[TLN: the insult wasn't quite that but had roughly the same nonsensical vibe]
ion: haha.. thank you, anise.
anise: don't worry about it!! aw, you're gonna make me blush~!
ion: earlier, when you said you wanted to to resurrect someone... you meant me, didn't you?
anise: !?
ion: i thought it'd be better to keep quiet about it. but... every time you looked at me, you always seemed sad. and all of a sudden you were doing whatever mohs asked you to.
ion: but i don't resent you for doing what mohs ordered, anise
ion: you were always looking out for me. i'm so happy i got to meet you
anise: ......
ion: i know that i'm the one who's causing you suffering, but at least in this world things are okay. so please try and forget about that pain, if you can.
ion: ...i say that, but i know you're the kind of person who burdens yourself with everything
anise: ...stop it. stop saying that, it's not fair
ion: i'm sorry
anise: ...sniff
[she trembles, crying]
[mieu pops on screen again]
mieu: miieuu? ah, master, are you waking up?
anise, frustrated: what!! luke, were you standing there-- er, sleeping there, eavesdropping?!
luke: wh- are you saying i was pretending to be asleep!?
jade: what's the commotion over here?
anise: colonel~! luke's horrible, he's eavesdropping on little girl's secrets!!!!
jade: absolutely deplorable. by the way, how's everyone else?
ion: mileena and the healers woke up a little while ago, so they're taking turns treating everyone
jade: that's good to hear. should we head back to base?
anise: hey, wait... colonel, dist is missing
jade: hm? say again? i'm sorry, the sound quality in this world is dreadful'
luke: hey, m- maybe you were imagining it? all i can see over there is a big snowman
jade: ah, my apologies. i grew up in a place just as snowy as this, so i must've been overcome with nostalgia and reverted to a child just long enough to make one. do you think it looks nice?
luke&anise&ion: ......
mieu: i think it looks great!!!
[tear approaches]
tear: why are you all gathered over here? we've finished treating everyone else, but...
jade: don't worry about it. someone else will take care of the garbage over there, so let's return, shall we?
ion: wait, but, that's not garbage, that's--
anise: let's go, master ion~!
luke: y- yeah! let's head back!
[scene change: sync and marcus speak aboard the heimdallr (airship)]
sync: hey... the necromancer sent in a message for the bique
marcus: what do you mean he sent a message? why didn't he just call--
marcus: nevermind. there's no sense getting caught up trying to figure out jade's logic. he can do whatever he wants. let me see it.
marcus: ....
marcus: HE WANTS US TO PICK UP TRASH FROM SOME MOUNTAIN??
sync: he wrote "a chair and some perishables", but i bet he means a certain reaper
marcus: ...just 'cuz i want to pick that guy's brain for information doesnt' mean i want to be responsible for him. i swear he's some kind of demon...
sync: eh, that's true of all of us. they say you have to be crazy to be a god general
marcus: and now i've gotta go pick up that reaper...
[the scene changes to two people i don't know: but from the looks of it, marcus just passed off dist collecting duty to nazar, a different rays orriginal character. incredible]
[final scene: luke and jade back at base]
luke: phew, we're finally back. i'm glad libera's doing better
jade: me too
luke: hey, jade... can i ask you something?
jade: what is it?
luke: it's just... if we returned to our own world and found the nebilim replica there, and we could try that same experiment...
luke: would you do it, jade?
jade: you are assuming way too many things about our world, luke. but... i understand what you're asking.
jade: if there was a way in our world to resurrect professor nebilim without that ridiculous scheme we tried earlier... well, it's difficult to say
luke: you want to resurrect her?
jade: i have no plans on it. ...is what i said before, isn't it? back in our world.
luke: but, with this replica...
jade: you really don't trust me, do you? well, i suppose you reap what you sow
jade: you're here in this world, so right now resurrecting nebilim is out of the question
luke: what, like i'm some kind of deterrent?
jade: if i really wanted to resurrect nebilim, not even a deterrent such as you could stop me
luke: wh- huh!?
jade: it's just right now i already have my hands full with an experiment. i don't have the luxury to get involved in another.
luke: w- wait! is that true? what kind of experiment is it? is it poison? or- did you become an honest man and start working in medicine!?
jade: an honest man, hmm? i wonder how close that really is to the truth...
jade: i'm researching "death". I just want to understand something about it a little better.
