Chapter 53: The wonders of a human being
Velmire's eyes widened at the face Johan wore, and he immediately realized how out of line he was. "I am sorry, I didn't mean it like this. Please forget what I said!" his voice as it came you.
It was very out of line for him to ask something like this, but... He also got his answer too.
This man sacrificed Alya just because he really wanted to save the world. It was a scummy move, but from a utilitarian perspective, it made Velmire admire Johan all the more.
Johan stayed quiet, not replying. 'I don't understand this. Why... why did 'he' do this? To save the world? Bullshit. I would never sacrifice my loved ones just to save the world. Johan follows this more than me... he would never—probably because...
He never sacrificed!'
Johan's whole body trembled as he thought of a possibility, clutching the seal tightly.
This wasn't discussed in the game at all—
From the perspective of the protagonist, big bad guy Radhaan revives the bigger bad guy, the Goddess of Death. 'He always wanted to break the seal. Like in one of the endings when Johan joined Alistar and worked with Radhaan, it was probably how Death was revived in the first place.'
He smiled softly. Another puzzle was solved about Johan Von Matilda.
'He still felt regret over deciding the fate of Alya on his own, but he had to if he wanted to prevent her from dying. If the Goddess of Death awakened inside her... she would've died, obviously... a mortal soul can't handle that kinda Aether.'
Johan sighed deeply, rubbing his temples gently.
