Lavi: Eh... it's snowing
Bookman: Looks like it
Lavi: Really? I didn't think it would snow around here, there are so many weird things happening lately
Just the other day ! so many flowers bloomed before their season and-
the color of the lake changed overnight and-
the lady from the inn said she harvested sooooo much so she gave us some vegetables and-
Bookman: That was big help.
Lavi: A big help!!
Bookman: Was there a ripple somewhere? Something big enough to have such an impact on the surface...
[or could it be... was the helix...]
[Lavi: Dad]
Bookman: [I can't... Again, it's all I can think about....]
(Says "it" but the kanjis say Helix)
[To think that you have become a part of it...]
Lavi: Gramps, Do you think the snow will pile up ?
[Remembering his son in the silver snow]
THE 254TH NIGHT: IF IT IS INDEED FATE, WE'LL MEET AGAIN SOMEDAY . CONCLUSION
Apocryphos: it's been 2985 days… we've been at a standstill for about 8 years.
What now?
Apocryphos: Is that the host....!?
Apocryphos: What about Bookman Jr....
.... Hope. Struggle
Love. Hatred...
huh? so that's all?
It was a waste of time
after all this effort... let's just kill hi- [!!]
[What...!?]
//ugh
[LAVI: Hope
Struggle. Love. Hatred.
Lives touching lives
Bonds. Convictions passed from one to another
The traces left behind, of a life lived with that heart. That is what makes the helix stronger.
You, all alone, couldn't fathom the bonds between lives, could you ?
You underestimated humans, Apocryphos!
Apocryphos: [what was that, just now
I felt an immeasurable energy
It's the first time that I've felt such Helix energy]
Am "I"… trembling ?
[Does that mean this helix is connected to this little life? This is beyond human level]
[The Helix energy, already powerful in Nea alone, reached a whole different level when it absorbed the life of Bookman Jr.
So the karma of the Bookman clan runs so deep?]
Ah I see, that's right… they were closest to the Heart...
[If this amount of helix energy could be offered to the Heart…]
Since the person connected to this one helix is alive,
The more joy, pain, and sorrow he experiences, the stronger the helix will become.
Energy will be offered to the Heart, through the innocence that has taken possession of his left arm.
This will bring forth the revival quicker than expected
This child will surely become the perfect sacrifice for the Heart
I shall shape him so myself.
[Lavi(?): Allen
From now on, you will go through a great deal of suffering
but
somehow
Please keep on living]
[Please continue your journey]
Allen(crying) (me too): Lavi...
Apocryphos: You will be reborn as an unsightly orphan who has forgotten his own name among everything else after being abandoned by his parents.
Yes…. I'll sell him to a circus
This shall be the tale of one who started from the bottom and went on to become a beautiful sacrificial angel.
Go ahead, live on.
For The sake of the Heart.
[Allen's memory was all true...]
