[Private]
Once again I find myself standing where the road divides. And once again, I cannot commit to either. I speak of second chances, yet I have learned nothing...
Lloyd... For your safety, you must remain in Aselia. I will protect Colette and the other Chosen until they return to you. You do not need to see this, your father, being such a disappointment in the meantime.
[He pauses, tapping his pen a few times.]
No... On this, acting one way or the other without being properly informed would be incredibly foolish. I tread a thin enough line as it is. Mithos is not stupid; he must have pieced together the clues that I have some connection with Lloyd's group, though what he thinks of it is yet to be seen.
At least, when things worsen- as they inevitably will- I will not be alone in the matter. Still, for their sake, I wish it were otherwise. I have determined that our strength combined would still not be enough to properly restrain Mithos... or rather, Lord Yggdrasill.
I am thankful that I can rest my mind from these matters, if only for a little while, to think instead of the other boy whom I have taken into my care.
... I really am a fool.

Have your sleep patterns changed any since training began? I believe eight to ten hours would benefit you, along with continuing the exercises I assigned you.
[a pause]
I... hope things are going well.

... Yuan.
You left your room rather abrup
The other night, it seemed
...
Is everything all right?

... Humph. A thousand detailed histories in the library, and not a single one covers this world. I wonder if seeking a map would be just as fruitless.
