Roswaal:  "What I require is this magic crystal."

Roswaal:  "You intend to use the magic crystal as a catalyst to employ Great Magic?"
human
Roswaal:  "Enough to alter the weather, yes— Earlier, I said this world had gone astray from my intentions, but that is not quite precise. The most critical part yet remains. It is in this sense that you were…overeager."

Ram:  "...I thought events had strayed from the ones written in the book of knowledge?"
human
Roswaal:  "Quite a bit, yes. However, that is not so for the ending. One cannot speak of success or failure until what is written in the book for the Sanctuary arrives at its conclusion— If snow should fall here, what shall become of the Sanctuary? What is its future?"
gpt
Roswaal:  In accordance with the book of knowledge, Roswaal would make snow fall on the Sanctuary. He had come for the magic crystal to employ it as a magic catalyst. And to employ that spell—

Roswaal:  "—Requires an enormous amount of concentration and the very deft use of mana. That instant, you would have been able to achieve your retribution with certainty. Even without your horn, had you attacked by surprise, my wounds are deep and my trust great enough to slow my reactions… You would most certainly have struck me down."

Ram:  "...I did not, for to do so would be meaningless."
human
Roswaal:  "—? In the sense that you wish to conquer me when I am whole? Or that you wish to destroy me without a single second to spare? I can somewhat understand such feelings, but…"

Ram:  "No. I was right… You truly understand nothing, do you?" Ram’s reply left a genuinely questioning look all over Roswaal’s face.

Ram:  On the back of her eyelids was a vortex of complex emotions she absolutely never allowed to reach the surface. Ram closed her eyes so that her own way of living, something she had sworn never to reveal to any other for her entire life, might be shown to her alone. Opening her eyes, she lifted her face.
gpt
Ram:  Then she trained her usual, impetuous look toward Roswaal. "Your wish shall not be granted. For you to strictly observe the terms, offering yourself to me as an empty shell, is meaningless. Greeting a broken version of you will not satisfy me."
human
Roswaal:  "My, my, how greedy of you. However, what shall you do about it? Even if the Oni once called you the chosen one of the gods, you are now far from that without your horn. Even though I, too, am wounded, I can employ quite sufficient magic before establishing the ritual. Can you defeat me?"
gpt
Ram:  "No, it would surely be foolish to think so. I understand full well that Master Roswaal’s power is second only to his teacher." When Roswaal claimed she had no chance of victory, Ram nodded, making no effort to refute him.
