Chane.
“Yes, Father.”
You are a really well-behaved child. You listen to anything I say, yet you hardly ever get attached to others.
Really, you don’t spend enough time with others to form attachments, do you now. Not even your mother.
“……”
You are my daughter, my protector, my experiment, as well as the guardian of my knowledge. You were born for this purpose.
Ah, let me tell you something. Let me tell you- and only you- about some things that I alone know about.
But, all I will do is to tell them to you. And all you will do is to listen; you aren’t allowed to do anything besides committing them to memory.
You mustn’t tell this to anyone, and you mustn’t use it for yourself.
Can you promise me that?
“Yes.”
No hesitation whatsoever. Splendid, Chane.
Then--- let me tell you.
Of all that which is forbidden; of my motives; of the world I see.
Ah, that’s right, I’m being a little too harsh on you. Is there anything that you’d like in return*?
“My voice---“
Your voice?
“My voice--- my words, please make them disappear.”
……
Aah, you’re a wonderful child, aren’t you, Chane?
As your father, I will make your wishes come true, whatever they may be. To take way your voice is actually quite a simple task.
Yes, it really is--- an extremely simple task.
Isn’t it? To take away the voice of my real daughter……
Hehehe.
Hahahahaha.
This is the reason, the reason why I cannot stop experimenting.
Elmer, Elmer. What would you say if you had witnessed it?
That guinea pig does come up with the most surprising ideas sometimes. Which is precisely why it is an experiment.
To obey my order to “not speak to anyone”--- purely because she wishes to prove her determination, Chane, my daughter--- hoped that she could lose her voice.
Such loyalty!
Hey, Elmer, Smile Junkie, Mr. Happy End. Do you think that pitiful guinea pig will ever obtain a lifetime of happiness?
Aah, I will see for myself the answer with my own two eyes.
After all, this is the duty of a researcher, isn’t it…?
