FINAL INVESTIGATION

[Well, your time, your anger, your losses have led up to this.

It's time to go, and that blue card will give access to the floors above. In particular, there is the floor Barbara mentioned before the throne room, which seems to be a good idea to check out beforehand.

Indeed, it's much like the previous floors the Strangers had lived in, only smaller.]



[There is another elevator in the area, but that is inaccessible. Even using Marie's card doesn't seem to work on it. Hm. No matter. Marie's card works on all of these rooms, so it's fine, right?

In any case, if there's answers to be found about just whose in charge - and what in the world is going on - this is the last chance of finding them. You've all gotten this far, and as your teams descend on the rooms, you can feel the end is near. Hopefully, that end is not that of the universe - or of Ivy.

Good hunting, Titled.]

He’s moving downwards. Most of the sectors in the area are now destroyed. Many thousands of systems, gone forever. I’m glad I redesigned my fortress for mobility. Moving was very easy after all. It was like a spider crawling and flying!

But, he’s definitely going downward. The Neutral Zone will be devastated by the Galaxy Eater, for certain. Perhaps those pesky priests who worship “the Beyonder” will be destroyed as well. They have become a nuisance to my Armies as of late. But, I can’t just let my guard down - I also have to assume that they too have taken measures to ensure they do not die off.

In any case, it’s almost time. Time for the Galaxy Eater to move from this universe...into the one beyond. I wonder what they will look like outside. In here, it looks terrifying and massive. I can’t even see the stars anymore.

I wonder if the stars beyond this universe look just like the ones in here? Maybe they look more brilliant. Maybe I will find out one day.

Just above 3.82 kilos and 50.2 centimeters. His name is Cheol-Min.




I feel extremely emotional for some reason. I’ve locked my door. No one will visit me for the moment. I’m glad. I think I will continue reading about Antarctica. Maybe these feelings will go away then.

I have neglected this diary for so long. But, I’ve been so...busy with nothing.

I’ve been watching as Cheol-Min grows up. He’s a year old now. His birthday is happening as we speak. He doesn’t know how to blow out the candles. His cake is vanilla and strawberry.

I wish I could understand why I feel so strongly towards him. I feel resentment towards him one day, then, I feel happy for him, like when he babbled his first words. I don’t understand.

I can’t be jealous of a baby, can I?

I think I understand what I feel towards Cheol-Min now. I think it is

Perhaps there is a little bit of jealousy there. He has parents, both of them, who are capable of nurturing and supporting him as he grows up. I have nothing of that sort - I was born as I am, and outside of potential mutations, I will never change. My one parent has no ability to communicate, and Aunt Marie is just otherwise useless most of the time. She hardly treats me like family much of the time. Yet I can’t bring myself to just be rid of her. She is my only link to the father I never knew.

I wonder what will happen when Cheol-Min is robbed of his mother by my hand. I wonder how devastated he will be, how he will cry as he witnesses it. How...alone he will be.

I don’t know how I would feel about doing that to someone else. Even if the other parent is Cheol. But...it’s my purpose to do this, and I can’t ignore what I’m made to do indefinitely. One day, I must leave this universe, and it can only happen upon a single death.

I must think on this. I must.
