...It's over. It's time to end this, Blue Mariah.
Then what are you waiting for? If you aim to finish me off, then do so, coward.
...What? Why are you giving me that look?
...*Sigh* Crikey, I can't believe I'm about to do this...
...Look. I... I know what happened to you. I know who you used to be.
So what? Knowing my past changes nothing, rodent.
It changes more than you think. It means that deep down, there's good in you. And I'll be honest- you probably don't deserve this... But Kirby's me pal. And he always gives blokes like you a second chance. I'd be foolish if I don't try it myself, at least once.
You're foolish for thinking you could. My heart has been frozen far before you've been born.
I honestly question that; But, that's besides the point. I know I can't save you with words alone... But, there's still something I can do.
It's called a Friend Heart. It's been a while since any of us used these... I'm not surprised Magolor forgot about it. Heck, I've almost forgotten about it, until I took a moment to reflect my past adventures before coming here.
And that's when it struck me: A way to stop you for good... without having to end the life of an innocent soul. I only needed to put you in a weakened state... which I have. I just hope this works...
That's... No. No, you can't- Get that thing away from me! I'll-!
...Huh...? Where... where am I? What happened...?
...A lot happened. A lot that you'll need to answer for. But... you won't have to do it alone, Ms...
...Sorry. What's your name, exactly? I only know you as the "Azure Lyricist"... And, well, her.
...I... I don't recall. I've been... her for so long, now... I- I don't even know if I'll-
Hey. No worries- None of the past matters anymore. What matters now is what happens next.
...What was your name again?
