*You steady your hands, and focus your mind.
*This is it. This is your final choice.
*Your ultimate judgement, in which hangs the balance of the universe.
*Who are you to be judge, jury, and executioner?
*But the headsman's axe is in your hands, and its burden weighs heavy upon your heart.
*You grasp your weapon tightly, and face the Queen.
 	
*Some part of you notes the lack of emotion on the Queen's masklike face.
*Almost as if she had expected you to stand against her.
*S'eljah: I knew you would walk this path, .
*S'eljah: In fact, I must confess I would be a little surprised if you hadn't.
 	
*S'eljah: This doesn't erase my disappointment, however.
*S'eljah: I had such high hopes for you...
*S'eljah: That you might not repeat the faults of the Summoners before you.
 	
*You furrow your brows.
*What Summoners?
 	
*S'eljah: Oh? You have yet to puzzle this out?
 	
*S'eljah: You are not the only Summoner, .
*S'eljah: I speak not of your comrades in the Hall, nor the laboratory of Grand Gaia.
 	
*You grip your weapon tighter. No... No!
*This cannot be. You've—You've always been yourself, and no one else!
*To say that you are but a fragment of a continuous existence—
 	
*The Queen's mirthless laughter at your bewilderment only serves to torment you.
*S'eljah: They were not "physical deaths", as you may think.
*S'eljah: Why do you think you are unable to remember them?
*S'eljah: Why do you recall visiting places you're certain you've never been?
 	
*S'eljah: ...Do you truly believe your mechanical contrivances are all there is to your "forays"?

*Kyria springs to mind—and her talk of that "other" summoner.
*The one who accompanied her on her quest to slay that nefarious dragon.
*Their words, so terribly close to your own—sentiments so familiar you could have sworn they were yours.
*Was that you, after all?
*Was that a previous incarnation in a time long past?

*You snarl. You want answers.

*S'eljah: What a twisted expression you have there, .
*S'eljah: How positively savage.
 	
*S'eljah: Yes...I see little has changed even after so many incarnations.
*S'eljah: You were always ever so impulsive.
 	
*S'eljah: ...Oh, don't give me that look. You were never meant to remember.
*S'eljah: I made sure of that. Or you would have never agreed to this fallacy.
 	
*S'eljah: You might have become another reprehensible Voidling, to meddle and ruin as you see fit.
 	
*The Queen directs her withering gaze at Kranus.
 	
*Kranus: Unforgivable...
*Kranus: Are we simply pawns in this grand cosmic chessboard?
*Kranus: , come! We will put an end to her foul reign now!
 	
*You cast aside your doubts. If this is all true, then you deserve to be free of this manipulation.
*And if you are not of this world—controlled by some strange force the Queen addresses at times—you deserve the truth.
 	
*S'eljah: Hah...
 	
*S'eljah: So be it, fools. Reject the destiny you were given.
*S'eljah: And when the curtain falls...

*S'eljah: Not even a single MEMORY will be left of you!
