By Althena's bones, you really are a stupid bastard.

[With those words, a certain healer looms out of the crowd, having had quite enough. Although he's dressed in the usual light robes he prefers when working as a doctor, the lack of the long gloves that normally hide most of the scarring on his arms and the almost predatory way he's walking are sure signs that Ghaleon is most certainly not here in a peaceful role.]

You come into our home, we treat you as a valued member of the community, and this is how you repay us? By manipulating all these people desperate for a bit of hope into following along with you, even if it meant the deaths of people whom also desired a better tomorrow? People whom you lived beside, people whom you knew.

Crona and Ragnarok are dead. The residents of the Ura settlement could have died in a most painful manner had different measures been taken. Who knows how many of the people who arrived here today have died because they were discouraged from seeking aid from we who live in the Bastion? Many more could potentially die today in a battle for control of a machine with the potential to change the world.

All because of you. All because you decided that your grief over your dead family was more important than finding a fucking reasonable way to go about this.

And you know what pisses me off the most? The fact that you seem to think that all the pain and suffering that has been caused over this is lessened because your method will make it so it never happened. But the scars will remain. Oh yes, the dead will live again. And the ones that died here, after the Calamity hit? They will remember the moment their hearts stopped.

As a person who has died - well and truly died, and violently so - I can assure you that it is something that changes a person.

I am Ghaleon, once a member of the legendary Four Heroes, and once known as the Magic Emperor, a villain so feared that the God of Destruction made certain when pulling me from the grave that I could be destroyed from anywhere should I give the barest hint that I might again decide to protect the world I loved so dearly. Perhaps I have revoked my right to be referred to as a good person, but I can say this for certain:

[Ghaleon raises his arm and points at Zahi to emphasize his declaration.]

Perhaps your motives can be sympathized with, but your methods are that of one who will be known as a villain as well! If you do not stand down, I assure you that you will end this day having returned to Mother, by my hand or that of someone else, because today? Today you made a lot of people with a lot of power very. Very. Angry.

[In other words, a certain someone is about to have a b a d t i m e.]
