P. 37 Title: Gloria, by Dokumasho Raiza P. 38 Nasuti: It's rare we have a visitor on Christmas. I'm impressed you know about this place. Naaza: I looked all over for you. This town has changed a lot. Nasuti: It's been 12 years since then. But you haven't changed at all. Naaza: Huh... Only 2 1/2 months have passed for me. P. 39 Nasuti: So, why are you here today? Naaza: I came to see you, Nasuti. Nasuti: To see me? Naaza: I think this will be the last time I come to the human world. I decided to see you and make a distinction. You understand what I am talking about. P. 40 Naaza: You do understand that I was your grandfather's enemy. Nasuti: Yes. But you did it because you were being manipulated by Arago. I... Naaza: Nasuti. Quit trying to put a nice face on it. I certainly did not come to the human world to talk to your outside face like that. P. 41 Naaza: Besides, I wasn't being manipulated by Arago. I acted by my own will, and by my own will I killed the old man. Nasuti: % Grandad. Naaza: You haven't forgotten it either. Grandfather: % Nasuti. P. 42 Grandfather: % Nasuti. Ryou: % Professor! Nasuti: % Grandfather! Yes, I would not forget about that. P. 43 Nasuti: I helped them and helped them in order to forget, but I couldn't forget the sad memories... What do you want to accomplish by re-opening the wounds now? Is that why you came to see me? Did you seek me out to dig it all up after 12 years? Naaza: I wanted to ask how you feel about me. You probably hate me. Nasuti: I do. P. 44 Nasuti: I hate you. Naaza: Huh. That's what I wanted to hear. I saw it from the start. The eyes overflowing with hatred for me. P. 45 Naaza: It's true. I've thought it a marvel - why would you, who should hate me, smile at me? Nasuti: % Welcome, Naaza. It's been a while. Naaza: How could you call my name as if I were a friend? I couldn't fathom it. It wasn't a front, it was how you really are. I wanted to hear you speak without putting a nice spin on it. I won't ask you to forgive me. There's nothing you can forgive. However, I wanted to say one word of apology to you. Nasuti: Naaza... P. 46 Naaza: I have never bowed my head to a woman until now. I don't think I will bow my head to a woman in the future. You are the one woman in my whole life who I will bow my head to. P. 47 Naaza: I'm sorry. P. 48 Nasuti: Naaza... Thank you. P. 49 Nasuti: I wasn't putting a nice face on it, and it wasn't just a front. Right now, for the first time in 12 years, I forgive you. P. 50 Naaza: It took 12 years? Nasuti: Yes. But I did understand. Your tea has gotten cold. I'll reheat it. P. 51 Naaza: Nasuti, this is...? Nasuti: Hm? Oh, that's my husband. Naaza: You got married? To that little kid? Nasuti: Honestly... He'll always be a youngster to you, won't he. Naaza: You're happy with him, aren't you. P. 52 Nasuti: Yes, very. Naaza: Ah, that's good. Nasuti: Oh, honey. Naaza came by the university today. Husband: Naaza did? What for this time? Nasuti: He said he wanted to make a distinction. P. 53 Husband: So, has he changed? Oh... no, not that many days have passed in the yojakai. Nasuti: He's changed a lot. Naaza now wears a suit, smokes, and drinks coffee. Husband: That's impressive. Nasuti: Naaza did. But more over, he's gotten to where he can laugh gently. Oh, it's snowing... P. 54 Nasuti: It's wonderful... It's a white Christmas. Text: The threat to heaven stretches to where the glory of the Lord is, and also to where good people find peace. I will flatter, praise and worship the Lord. We must each be grateful for the glory of the Lord. Sung in Gregorian chants, "Gloria".
