Emilia Galmar [video]

[killer_kick]

[Say hello to Mme. Galmar, trainee teacher by day, gun-wielding, masked vigilante by night. At the moment she's in her civilian wear. Prepare for a shock, boys and girls, because she's updated with the times. Her tie is gone, her blouse shows her collar bone and her skirt exposes her knees]

I want to thank everyone who participated in the cake gala

[Yeah... not sure what to say about that new look, Emilia. He assumes the new experiment to be the cause, but there are more important things to focus on at the moment.]

Miss Galmar.

[She takes a slow, deep breath. She almost sounds civil when she speaks]

I suspect our wishes may have been similar last week.

[inspector_link]

... I suspected the same thing.

[Link, on the other hand, has gone right back to guuuuiiiilty. Last week was nice. It's a shame altered memories were required to make it happen.]

[killer_kick]

[There's another long pause. She closes her eyes, looking more weary than angered]

I told myself I'd cut you from my life. I never realised how heavy a load I'd made for myself when I made that choice.

I'm tired of holding this hatred, but I don't know if I'm able to forgive you.

[inspector_link]

[Oh, ouch. He knew Emilia was angry with him, but he didn't think it stretched to 'hatred'.]

... I wouldn't ask you to. But I've missed the relationship we had.

[killer_kick]

[And a little bit of that hurt and anger leaks out]

Had I known what you do from the start, it might never have come to this.

I thought you were a righteous man. As old-fashioned as you are in some ways, you were the one I admired. I strove to be more like you.

I understand it's necessary to take a life for the greater good, I've done so myself. But where is the justice in torture? Where is the goodness in using that sort of power on children?

[inspector_link]

[It's not exactly the easiest conversation to start, but he's not going to try and defend himself that way. There's little point in it now.

Quietly:] I've ask myself those questions many times during my stay here.

[killer_kick]

And what have you concluded?

[inspector_link]

... That I am not the person I used to be.

[killer_kick]

Would you reenter that life if you were sent back to your home?

[inspector_link]

It wouldn't be possible.

[killer_kick]

If it was possible, would you reenter that life again?

[inspector_link]

Knowing what I know now, no.

[killer_kick]

[She speaks quietly, almost to herself]

"Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him."

[Her eyebrows clench. She's fighting herself about this]

I suppose if it was easy, Jesus would never have needed to say it.

[inspector_link]

[Softly:] "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."

[He sighs lightly. He can understand why she wouldn't want to forgive him. He's yet to forgive himself, after all. He probably never will.]

... I cannot take back the things I have done. I can only swear to never repeat them.
