Jamil  |
Alright, so NRC Tribe should have disbanded since the Joint Culture Festival is over and done with, but... | |
Rook  |
Non. Vil selected his wording very carefully. He said “hiatus”, not “disband”. | |
Jamil |
The wording isn’t really that important here. That being said… | |
Kalim  |
What was with the sudden call for all of ex-NRC Tribe to meet in Ramshackle Dorm?
Did something happen, Vil? | |
Vil  |
Thank you all for coming here today. Grim is unable to be here, but…there is nothing that can be done about that matter. | |
Deuce & Ace  |
……… | |
Vil |
I have something very important to discuss with you today.
…First of which is what occurred on the day of the Vocal & Dance Championship. Allow me to apologize for betraying the trust you placed in me. | |
| All | Huh…? | |
Vil |
Out of a fear of losing, I attempted to put a curse on my rival… I realize that is the worst behavior I could’ve exhibited.
I am truly sorry. | |
Epel  |
W-Whoa, Vil of all people is giving a deep bow to us... | |
Jamil |
But we prevented you from cursing anyone, didn’t we? | |
Kalim |
Exactly. You didn’t hurt Neige at all. | |
Vil |
That is because everyone was there to stop me, especially you and Rook.
After all that I still went into Overblot…and caused harm to you all. By my actions, you all and myself, we all could have lost our lives. | |
Rook |
……… | |
Vil |
Then we put on our performance straight after a battle which exhausted almost all of our magical energy.
No matter how determined we were, I don’t think there was any possibility we could have been able to give a performance at the level of what we had managed during our rehearsals. | |
Epel |
You got it wrong! That was the best we’ve ever done that song! | |
Deuce  |
Epel’s right. That goes for you and us, we all gave everything we had on that stage! | |
Ace  |
………
When you think about it, though, that “best” is pretty subjective. | |
Deuce |
What?! There you go with that crap again! | |
Ace |
First, we make it through a fight which almost completely does us in, then by sheer luck, Malleus comes in and saves our hides by fixing the stage for us.
Dancing our way to the end took every last drop of strength we had left. Don’t get me wrong, what we did was totally amazing and I agree it was our best performance. But still… | |
Jamil |
Just because we were satisfied as the performers, it doesn't mean that the audience felt the same. That's what you’re trying to say, right? | |
Epel |
B-But we still… | |
Vil |
Ace and Jamil are correct.
The more I viewed the recording of our performance with a clear head after the fact… …the more I realized that our performance was at about half the caliber of what we are normally able to do. Our positioning was off, we didn’t lift our feet as high as we should, and pointing was completely uneven. After the horrible battle we went through, of course that’d be the case. We gave it everything we had. But that doesn't mean it was our best. | |
Vil |
I couldn’t bring you out on that stage in a state that you could perform at your utmost peak.
The blame for being unable to claim victory at VDC all lies with me. I failed as your leader. | |
