MEMORY: father's words.

[alcahest]

YOU MUST NEVER KNOW LOVE.

???

Cardia, my beloved daughter...

—I can hear my father's voice.

???

History has already started to shift.

He has a gentle, peaceful voice.

???

When you awaken, humanity will have to take its first steps down a blessed path that ultimately leads to the truth...
You will lead the people from God's cradle to the expansive world of knowledge.

???

Cardia... It all begins with you.
I love you so much, my dear daughter...

His hand touches my hair.
His hands... Big, strong hands. His touch is so comforting...

???

But... Because I love you, I must keep love from you.
You will be alone... forever.

???

You must never know love. You must live in isolation.
The more you learn of love... the more you will be made to suffer.
Because you... are a monster.
