[Dictated; his voice sounds a bit strained and tired. If anything, what he is saying has been rehearsed and he's doing his best to keep composure. He's glad Ino is covering the battle plans, so he can focus on something else that doesn't require him to make a lot of heavy decisions.]
I know many of you are busy, but...is there anyone who would be able to perform a funeral once we're able? Not just for Arthur but...the other people that were in that farmhouse as well.
It...would only be right....to at least show them some respect in death. Especially since...none of the bodies have disappeared...including Arthur's. So they should be dealt with properly.
Also...[a hesitating pause; he knows people are only trying to be nice to him but he's heard it enough time that past few days that...]
I understand very well that this castle can bring people back in two weeks, but you should be aware that none of Riful's victims have returned. And I know that many of you are hoping that this will be an exception, and you're free to do so....and I do truly hope that you're right.
But until then...where I come from, wishing for the dead to return only brings about more tragedy. So much tragedy that it is taboo for me to rely on such hope. So...while I appreciate your concerns and your kindness - please stop saying that idea to me. It's not that I don't want him back, I do, but for my own personal reasons I don't want to rely on that dream.
Thank you for your time.
