[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]> Something is different from usual...[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]> You don't see Igor anywhere.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 4 6][f 3 1]Welcome to the Velvet Room.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]I wonder how many times it's been that[n]we've seen each other like this.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]Apparently, we met for a purpose after all.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 4 6][f 3 1]Do you remember...?[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]The Velvet Room is inseparable from the[n]heart of its invited guest...[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]The shape of the room and its residents[n]are selected by my master, based on the[n]number of guests and their destiny...[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]But my predecessor is gone from this[n]place for a completely different reason.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]No one ordered her to leave...[n]She left of her own will, to accomplish[n]her own ends.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]Such a thing cannot happen to the[n]residents of the Velvet Room. So I[n]wished to know the reasons behind it...[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 4 6][f 3 1]All residents of the Velvet Room are[n]destined to find themselves...[n]It was true for her as well.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]Why did she suddenly give up on her[n]quest...? That was my greatest worry.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]But then again... Maybe my premises[n]were flawed.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]Maybe she found her answer, and so left[n]this place...[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]In which case, my role is not to blindly[n]bring her back.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 4 6][f 3 1]What was it that she gained? And...[n]Who am I?[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]What I may receive from you will most[n]likely show me the answer to those[n]questions.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]That is why fate did not bring a guest[n]who only talks, but one who holds[n]unmatched power...[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 4 6][f 3 1]I would like to issue a request to you.[n]Not as my master's guest, but a personal[n]request from me to you.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]Would you fight a match against me?[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 4 6][f 3 1]I won't force you, of course. There's no[n]reason for you to go that far.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]After all, if we were to clash...[n]I might sever your thread of destiny.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]But encounters always bring change to[n]both sides. If you emerge victorious,[n]you will surely gain something as well.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]Please consider the offer carefully[n]before making your decision.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]Should you opt to accept my request...[n]Bring this to me where I will wait.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]> You received an invitation from[n]Margaret.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]> Obtained [f 4 4].[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]> It says, "I await you at the ends of[n]Heaven"...[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 4 6][f 3 1]I look forward to seeing you again.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]

[f 0 5][f 2 1][f 4 6][f 3 1]My ultimate aim was to bring that foolish[n]girl to her senses and return her here.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]To do so, I had to know why she left.[n]And I felt that the key to understanding[n]rested with you.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]But now... I'm even more confused.[n][f 1 3][f 1 1] [f 0 5][f 2 1][f 3 1]I can't say whether her choice in fact[n]was foolish or not...[n][f 1 3][f 1 1]
