Karel: ……
Lucius: Oh, ahh… Hello…
Karel: I smell…blood.
Lucius: Wha–? What’s–
Karel: Ah, so you are a servant of Saint Elimine? I have no use for you. Begone.
Lucius: So…err… That smell of blood thing…
Karel: It will rain soon. Blood will fall like rain…
Lucius: … … But aren’t we going to prevent all that? That’s why we’re fighting…
Karel: You, too… Your hands will also be stained red with blood…
Lucius: What!
Karel: You are not a fool. The more you see your own impurity, the closer you are to me. And I will not have to kill you…
Lucius: …… Why…

Lucius: Err, umm… Karel…
Karel: If you want to babble about your cult, find another victim.
Lucius: M-My name is Lucius! And I would speak with you!
Karel: Very well, Lucius. Speak.
Lucius: Well, before… You said something… Something I had also been thinking for a while.
Karel: Yes, that even the hands of the acolytes are stained with blood. So what would you do? Become disgusted and give up?
Lucius: No! My beliefs give strength to my will! I just…I wondered how you knew…
Karel: …I live by the sword. My body is a weapon. I cannot live without the taste of blood.
Lucius: But have you no compassion at all? How could you know even grief without some kind of feeling?
Karel: …You are weak. Your blood means nothing to me.
Lucius: ……

Karel: Lucius.
Lucius: Karel…
Karel: …You are not a fool. And you are weak. That is why I do not need to kill you.
Lucius: ……
Karel: Perhaps that also is why… When I am near you, I feel…calm.
Lucius: …You look tired.
Karel: …What?
Lucius: Your face seems pallid, drawn, and worn. It looks unhealthy.
Karel: Perhaps…I am…tired. When I fight, my entire body is filled with a hunger I cannot suppress. …I have never had the luxury even to imagine fatigue…
Lucius: I don’t care about your fighting. I cannot change the way you live. Nor would I. We both follow our beliefs.
Karel: ……
Lucius: I don’t know why you believe this killing is your destiny, but I pray that you will someday know peace.
Karel: I want…to sleep. If only for a while…
Lucius: Rest now…
