【彼】は愛情というモノを疑って育ったようだ。其れは、母親に捨てられた事に起因し、<br>
その後の境遇に依って培われた性質だと思われる。さて。どうしたものだろうか。<br>

俺はバカだからよ・・・ こんな時なんて言ったら分からねぇ<br>

例えば やり直しの効く 物語を 人生と呼ぶのなら<br>
俺は 今 を 本当の意味で 燃えられただろうか?<br>
<br>
クソ最低なことばかりが 起こる【<ruby><rb>第九の現実</rb><rt>せかい</rt></ruby>】だけれど<br>
オマエと出逢えたこの《<ruby><rb>人生</rb><rt>ロマン</rt></ruby>》を否定しないぜ<br>
《<ruby><rb>グラサン、ヴァニスタメンバー、インタビュアーの三人、市蔵ファミリー、</rb><rt>Laurant, Laurant</rt></ruby><br>
そして、<br>
愛のある手紙や声援、これまでの俺の人生においては、信じられねぇくらい温かいメッセージをくれたクソ最高な奴ら》<br>
<br>
俺は愛されても良いのだろうか? 正直・・・ 裏切られるのが怖いんだ・・・<br>
それでも《<ruby><rb>俺が産まれたこの地平線</rb><rt>せかい</rt></ruby>》を愛そうと決めた<br>
だから 命の限り歌うんだ!<br>
<br>
Nein<br>
否定しないでくれ 俺達は 皆 弱い<br>

だからこそ 痛み 何かを生み出せる<br>
<br>
何が正解が そんなこと 俺には判らないけれど<br>
だが<br>
《<ruby><rb>観測者</rb><rt>たびびと</rt></ruby>》の数だけ《<ruby><rb>世界の解釈</rb><rt>こたえ</rt></ruby>》があると<br>
《<ruby><rb>オープニングアクトで訪れた第二の故郷とも言える愛すべき地平</rb><rt>あのばしょ</rt></ruby>》で知った<br>
<br>
だ か ら<br>

今夜は月が、いえ星が綺麗ですね。<br>
もし、ワタシの【否定】して来た行為が望まれざる介入なのだとしたら、<br>
やはり、ワタシは何の為に生まれて来たのでしょうか?<br>
いえ、其れを自らの意志で見つける事こそが《存在理由》なのかも知れませんね。<br>
<br>
ならば、ワタシもアナタ以上に救いようの無い馬鹿であると思われるので、<br>
此の《気持ちと呼ばれるモノ》を詩にしたいと思います――<br>

Well then, let’s get back to business.

I have established a connection between <what could be called consciousness> and the depths of the so-called <Thirteenth Host>...
[He] grew up doubting love. It seems like that particular aspect of his nature came into being when he was abandoned by his mother, and simply grew with the circumstances later in his life. Let’s see. What should we do here.
Fortunately, it appears that the <subject>’s <heart> is a system made to forcibly eliminate inconsistencies and contradictions from itself no matter what is denied...

The <factor> that was predicted to change the outcome of this tragedy - I attempted a [denial] of [his] ad921d60486366258809553a3db49a4a-

(“Stop...just stop it. That’s just too sad. I’m an idiot, so I don’t know the right words to say...so, I’ll turn these feelings into song! Please listen! Nein!”)

-

The concept of <Parallel Worlds>.
When you force a <horizon> into a <miniature garden>,
Just how many variations on a single <story> can be born from <there>?

If we defined <observation> as <creation>
Then it is the <freedom of fantasy> to <observe> <unseen phenomena>.

If you are to call that <illusion> an <interpretation>
Then <the Ninth’s interpretation of the story> is not an <answer>,
But simply a <model> representing an <idea>.

Some people do it through <pictures>, others do it through <words>
Whatever their means maybe, they will turn their <interpretation> into a <message> for their fellow comrades.

<Ten years> is but an <instant> that passes away in the blink of an eye,
The journey of the <Gods> who continue to create new <worlds> has only just begun...
