{choices in... ah... whatever these are}

Fou-Lu:
Long ago......
To humans, far in
the past....
For us, not so
distant......
A god was summoned....
But the imperfect
summoning ceremony..
called the god
and split him in two.
It's strange..
Meeting for the first time..
my own self..
Ryu, you..
understand what I'm thinking,
don't you..?
I, too, understand..
the path..
you traveled, with
the Fading Ones..
But Ryu,
my other half,
they were merely
swept along with the great current
that you are..

(battle)

You want to protect
the Fading Ones, this world,
don't you..?
You want to give a future
to the humans, don't you..?
I shall show you my power..
If you can't withstand it..
The ones behind you
will die..!

(end battle)

It seems you managed
to protect them...
But is that all..?

Nina:
Ryu!

Fou-Lu:
Ryu..
You are confused.
About whether this world
is truly worth protecting
or not..
You've seen.. how the Fading Ones..
rejoice, become angered..
laugh, grieve..
live, die..
But, Ryu..
Weren't they just
worthless things,
not even worthy
of our notice..?!

(the background fades away)

The Fading Ones, humans..
ignorantly, arrogantly..
lie, hurt, kill..
Their foolishness knows no bounds..
Isn't that true, Ryu..?
Humans are selfish..

{Maybe so.
..I don't know.}

Weren't the humans you've seen
deplorable?

{Maybe so.
..I don't know.}

Weren't the humans you've seen
foolish?

{Maybe so.
..I don't know.}

(background reappears)

Cast away your doubts,
Ryu..

Nina:
Ryu..!
Ryu, I..
love this world.
I love this world,
where you are, Ryu....
I want to have faith..
in this world
that I love..!

Fou-Lu:
Meaningless.
Love, faith..
what becomes of such
fragile things..?!

(flashbacks to scenes involving Mami... ;_;)

That's right....
They're incompatible..
So, Ryu..
it's time for us to
become a complete god..
Cast away your doubts..
Humans aren't worthy
of being protected..

(a dialogue window pops up: "Ryu felt Fou-Lu's - the other half of himself's - despair")

{..I don't know.
That's not true.}

(If you choose "That's not true.")

I see....
Ryu..
You've become too
attached to these humans..
Then I shall have to..
sever the connection..

(battle)
(battle ends)

Why, Ryu..?
You're supposed to be the same as me..
but I can't understand you....
How does this world..
seem in your eyes..?!

Deis:
This world..
probably isn't
as bad as you
think it is..

Master:
...she says.

Nina:
Um.. humans..
we..
may sometimes be
weak, dishonest, foolish..
But, I know....!

Fou-Lu:
The people who
summoned me.. long ago..
said the same things.
All they did was
use the power of a god..
to war with other humans!
I've had enough..
Let's end this.

(battle)
(battle ends)

Was I the one..
who was confused..?
Yes.. Fading Ones..
are weak..
foolish..
full of contradictions..
and.. beautiful.

(Nina narrates):
Then, Ryu, who
had been with us so long..
His presence changed.

(narration ends)

Nina:
Ryu..?

(Nina narrates):
But I knew
that it was Ryu.

(narration ends)

Nina:
You're Ryu, right..?

Ryu:
That's right, Nina.
But....
At the same time, I'm
also Fou-lu....

Cray:
So what happens..
to humanity.. to the world..?
Ryu - no, you're a god now..

Ryu:
Now.. I understand
what Fou-lu was saying..
Unfading Ones are incompatible..
with this world..

Nina:
No..
Ryu, you're not..?!

Ryu:
That's why......
We should get rid of the gods..
Just like you
wanted, Deis..

[Things beyond this point may be slightly less accurate, since the text scrolled by too fast for me to copy it down exactly. I'm not the fastest typist in the world... ^^;]

(Nina narrates):
Ryu said, "Get rid of the gods."
He meant that he would lose his power
and live as a human.
(narration ends)

Yunna:
My, my. This aura..
The Unfading Ones are disappearing.
The god[dess? I assume he's talking about Ellina] died, didn't it.
Ah, well, it's all right.
I can make
as many gods as I want.
