Libra → Nah

[yoyake]

Libra: So you're the Nah of this world?
Thank the gods that you're safe!
Nah: You seem familiar somehow...
Are you my...father?
Oh, Father! Father!
*sob*
Libra: My dear child.
It pains me to have to tell you this, but...
I am not your true father.
I am a visitor from another world...
Nah: Another world...? So you're like...
an alternate version of my father?
Libra: Right. And though my time here is short,
I will do everything in my power to save you.
Nah: I see...
Then...thank you. I gladly accept
your offer of help.
You may not be my father, but I'm still
happy I got the chance to meet you.
And to learn how I ended up speaking
so...softly compared to Mother...
Hee hee. I clearly got that part
from you...
Libra: Heh. Perhaps you did. Our manner of
speech is similar indeed.
Nah, I owe you an apology. On behalf of
myself and your father of this world...
Nah: You do? What for?
Libra: I spent my own formative years
starved of parental love.
The last thing I ever wanted was to put
my own child through the same hardship.
Forgive me, my child.
Nah: There's no need to apologise.
I may only know my parents through
the pictures my father drew...
but people tell me one thing about
them, time and time again.
They gave their lives for my sake,
and for the sake of our world.
I could never hold that against them.
Libra: Nah...even denied the love of a mother and
father, still you grew good and gracious.
Truly, the gods are great!
Nah: The gods... Yes, I suppose this is proof
that miracles really can happen.
My own father was a priest, but I couldn't
find it within myself to have faith.
Forgive me, Naga.
My change of heart may be late in
coming, but I'm ready to believe now.
Thank you for letting me meet my father
just once. Thank you for that most of all...
