I am greatly alarmed by these curses. I most certainly have not encountered ones of this type before. Furthermore, how on earth can they target so many at once? What sinister presence could cast such evil magic? [A pause for recalling.] But this apparent change in behaviour concerns me the most. Such as people acting like or believing they are animals, for instance. I most definitely will not stand for people losing their identity.

[Even Marcello's been taken over by the curse; he's running a finger under the rim of his Abbot hat. And for those who know him, other things seem strange. He wears a symbol of his faith, and when he speaks he sounds like the caring person he was the day Angelo came to the abbey.]

In any case, I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting most of you before. My name is Marcello. Certainly, I will aid you in getting the relief you deserve, though my experience is in defending my dominion rather than expelling its evil. Regardless, I believe this head-wear will not remain irremovable for long. Just have faith. Everything will be fine.

Now, if you'll excuse me. I have important things to do and there are other people you can call upon; my brother Angelo for instance.

[He brings an arm across his chest and bows.]

I wish you all good health. Until we meet again, may the Goddess hold you in the palm of Her hand.

I am not planning on to. I'm planning on working to gain what I had back home in one way or another.

Good. The intensity of work is good for the soul. I am impressed by your discipline.

Aside, I do not think your time within this place will be shorter than you expect. I trust that you are going to keep this focus? You seem very patient.

Well I consider this to be a extremely long holiday, but it's something I'm overly use to, so keeping at it is what I'll do best here.

Very good. Just never allow your persistance to turn into stubbornness.

As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall.

I know that saying, but not one I know from experience.

Interesting. Though you are from another world, you have heard those words.

They are something I try not to experience either.

Maybe not every world have different sayings. Some maybe said in many different worlds.

Yes. I suppose I can agree with that.

Certainly the danger of pride is a fundamental lesson. It is easy to understand why it transcends culture.

It is an easy thing to understand and we each in a way show pride in someway, even if we aren't meant to. I mean I'm very open about it honestly.

That is... quite a faithful way to live, certainly. I hardly used to show my feelings so openly. You must trust in people a great deal?

[He looks a little thoughtful. As pleasant as he was made by this curse, he remembered how he always controlled how he got close to people, in the past.]

I have great trust in a few. After they they helped me in a way, but I hope you show your feelings more.

Well now, that I may just try. I suppose there are worse things than to wear one's heart on one's sleeve.

That's true. I think it might be good for you at the end of the day.

Yes. Such openness is a good way to live for everybody, really.

That and live a carefree life.

[He's silent for a moment; it looks like what Renge said is niggling the back of his mind.]

Yes. Such a carefree existence is something I thought I would never understand, till I came to this place.

Alas, such is life.

Then maybe it's another thing you can experience here. I'll be happy to help you should the time be called for.

[He closes his eyes and smiles.]

I honestly would like that. Thank you.
