...

Everyone, I want to... apologize for how I've been acting. Especially to you mother, and to Phaeton.

I was angry, and... I was powerless to help V-mon. I felt powerless once before, and it reminded me too much of that time I failed...

...

Nothing can make up for what I did, or how I treated you... but come what may, I'm going to get up and move forward.

- you have to eat, Royce.

I'm not hungry. I ate earlier today.

But... that was just lunch. The doctor said you needed to eat to recover your strength, and-

I won't get any better until someone fixes these freaking cybernetics, and Ciel's behind on that isn't she?

Royce, please, I'm only-

Just leave me alone, Phaeton.

Alright...

((Phaeton NPC'ed with permission.))

Happy mother's day, mother! I heard about this holiday, and, well...

[attached: Vadermon's abduction ray]

I know you fight best with firearms, so...

Erebos...

I'm sorry for what happened the other day.

Phaeton is... going to be with people who can help take care of her better...

... Master Aeolus.

If you're reading this, I'd like to have a word with you about your "daughter."

Please respond.

... I suppose that after last night's... fiasco, I should say something.

My name is Royce. I am Phaeton's friend, and... well, it appears that I have a connection to two of you in particular.

More importantly though, I should account for some of Phae's actions. She's rather emotional, and somewhat naive about how the world works.

And... if anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to field them.
