Demeleier. Such a strange place, with strange

I disgust you?

When you have walked to hell and back, you may look down on me, fool.

[audio] This will be fun XD

[as_you_command]

You all disgust me. [ An unseen smirk. ] But if you wish to take my statement personally, you are welcome to.

[ A bored sigh. ] It matters not. Little does, for comparing your trials to mine is a pointless endeavor.

[audio] Those icons are so hot btw

[tapferkeit]

Because, I imagine, it's [And he gives a sniffle] so hard to be the only man who'll grab new beginnings by the throat, hmm?

You're pathetic.

[audio] D'aw, thank you <3

[as_you_command]

I'm not the only one. [ A dry laugh. ] Nor am I even one. I am too weak to take such a chance. You're right! A pathetic fool who does nothing for himself, and everything for others.

[What do you know, Gilford?] Me, my lord?

[Audio]

[as_you_command]

Yes, you. [ The voice echoes in from the distance, as if he had stepped away from the device. It is somewhat clearer now, but the reception is still not as clear as it should be. ] You are all that is.

[ Closer now. ] You are all that matters.

[ Loudly, as if the microphone was up against his teeth. ] Why should anyone matter but you?

[Audio]

[aknightmustrise]

Please, calm down. I don't know what you're talking about!

[Audio]

[as_you_command]

[ Less distracted now, as if he is aware of whom he is speaking with. ]

Oh no, it's not you after all. You are too young to know... [ A weary sigh. ] To understand.

Tell me, Sir Kururugi. What does the word "loyalty" mean to you?

[Voice]

[andallforone]

[Shit, this doesn't look good. At all.

Yosuke'd be the first to admit he doesn't know Guilford beyond 'that's the guy that yelled at me and Teddie when I said Cornelia was a babe', but this... really doesn't fit the bill. At all.]

Guilford-sa [Wait, they don't like honourifics, right?]

... Mister Guilford...?

[Voice]

[as_you_command]

[ The crackling hides a 'tch' of disappointment. ] Was any part of what I said unclear, brat? [ Despite his irritation, he still manages to sound dignified. ]

[Voice]

[andallforone]

I didn't say it was. I heard you loud and clear.

[Quietly, as if to himself:] Dammit...

[Voice]

[as_you_command]

Then you have not forgotten your ears, only your manners. [ Haughty. ] For the likes of you, it is Lord Guilford.

[voice]

[lonelyimmortal]

Haha, I was wondering when someone would finally realize the opportunities here. So what has prevented you from doing such?

[voice]

[as_you_command]

Insecurity. Doubt. Fear.

[ Sounding quite self-important, now. ] The weakness of a man that would not even be found in the shadow of a Knight.

[voice]

[lonelyimmortal]

It sounds as if there is a little more strength, but what is it that you truly desire?

[voice]

[as_you_command]

To be respected. To conquer, control, command.

Though if I really knew, do you think I would be in such a position to begin with?

[ voice ] Always!

[as_you_command]

Why, Viola, do you not know? I just have not been myself as of late.

I am to fix this.

[ voice ] that was supposed to be "aim to fix". orz

[as_you_command]

That is because you do not know the true me.

[ Matter-of-factly. ] I aim to fix myself, of course. What else is there to do?
