Only if you're the sort that never ever learns from their mistakes.

[immoetality]

Hoh, this is bliss? I can see why the world isn't made of fools now.

[quercusoptima]

... There is sometimes something to be said about faith, too.

Who was it?

[immoetality]

Lelouch. He gave up our bond. Of course, he'll still cling to me, but he managed to escape my curse.

[quercusoptima]

Ah ... of your life? Or of your knowledge?

[immoetality]

My existence is my own as is my knowledge. I gave him power.

[quercusoptima]

But power to what end?

[immoetality]

Whatever he cared to use it for. Indiscriminate power to do good or to do evil.

[quercusoptima]

And that was what he gave up?

[immoetality]

Mm, in a game to keep his sister and himself from dying. She wanted it gone for awhile now, though. What a horrible man, leaving all the blame to me like that.

[quercusoptima]

Are they seriously taking away the skills and memories people have regained ... ?

You said he would still cling to you, though.

[immoetality]

We are allowed to choose what we would give up in order to save ourselves and the person with us.

He will. But he also has to return to the life that he left when he made our contract.

[quercusoptima]

Which is the same life that drove him to make a contract with you in the first place?

[immoetality]

So, it is.

[quercusoptima]

...

[sighs]

You can call Souya a fool all you like, but even he's not that bad.

[immoetality]

I said that I was the fool that never learned, didn't I? I won't let him leave, either.

[quercusoptima]

How long did you know him? Do you remember that, yet?

[immoetality]

Since he was born.

[quercusoptima]

So it's like that ...

[immoetality]

Mm, I met his mother awhile back. They're nothing alike, though. I have to wonder who he ended up taking after.

[quercusoptima]

His father, perhaps?

[immoetality]

Not at all.

[quercusoptima]

Perhaps he just imprinted on you from afar.

[immoetality]

Let's not get Freudian.

[quercusoptima]

[shrugs] It's just a suggestion.
