First Blossom

[As the feed clicks on, it reveals a very confused pink haired young lady. At first, she seems to be talking to herself.]

I don't understand. I thought the UMN networks were gone now... but this seems to be connected to something. And I don't recognize this planet at all. What's going on...?

[She pauses for a few moments as she looks around and tries to get her bearings. Then, figuring she has nothing to lose, she tries sending out a message.]

Umm, can anyone hear me? Mommy? Ziggy? Is anyone out there?

[She gives him a hopeful - if a bit skeptical - look.]

So you'll... work with the other people here, then?

[His lips curl into a smile, as if you just told a joke.]

Such is what I've always done.

But yes. I will work to aid people to return to their homes.

[MOMO smiles back! Even if that was a little scary and kind of freaked her out! Th-this is progress, right? Right?!]

That's good to hear!

[The smile, which had been an almost mischievous curl on his lip, calms a little bit. Becomes less sharp, and more friendly. How curious you are, MOMO. Inhuman, and yet so human]

I suppose it is.

I'm curious. How long has it been for you since you last saw me?

[MOMO is just happy that she's able to talk to Wilhelm like this and not worry about him trying to hurt her or her friends. Maybe this place wasn't so bad after all!]

Not very long. A few weeks. Why?

[He simply shakes his head a little.]

Curiosity. I simply wished to know.

You're with Jan Sauer and Juli Mizrahi then, correct?

Yes. Jr., Shion and Allen all left to try and find Lost Jerusalem, after...

After what happened.

[He knows that. Even if his body is destroyed, his will and conscious remain in the Higher Dimensional Domain and throughout the Lower Domain.]

I see.

[And he pauses for a moment. Before finally.]

[Filtered]

Speak.

If you wish to have answers for what occurred, I will provide them.

[For once, even he isn't entirely certain why he's reacting the way he is. After all he had done, had done with the intent of helping mankind, it had never occurred to him he might eventually have to answer and explain his actions. Nor does he understand why the clear confusion, or more accurately uncertainty, of one child should cause him to feel like explaining. Such things were trivial, were commonplace to him.

But he feels as if he might allow himself to answer. Just this once.]

[MOMO can't speak at first; she's too shocked, and unsure of how to respond.]

I...

[She shakes her head slowly.]

It's okay. You did what you thought was right, didn't you? Only... why did you hurt so many people?

[He raises his eyebrows slightly. He supposes he should have expected such a simple question, such a simple concern from the girl. But he nods.]

I did.

It was necessary to pave the way for the Recurrence. I deride no pleasure from harming those who had to be harmed [unless they were openly defying him, like Shion], but I did what I had to to pave the way for the Lower Dimensional Domain to be reset.

[She shakes her head firmly.]

It is never right to hurt people.

Right and wrong are words with different meanings to all people. To impose the idea that one concept is correct over others is a fallacy.

Sometimes, it is necessary. Even you have acted on that.

I know that there are many different kinds of people, and they have just as many beliefs. But even so, hurting and killing others...

I... [Once again, she tries to distance herself from Wilhelm, even if all she can do is hold the phone at arm's length. She struggles for words, knowing that he's right - but not quite wanting to admit it.]
