Tales of the Abyss
EPISODE 18 “Want to Change”
Pg. 1
Teodoro – I see . . . you indeed look alike
“Luke Replica”

Pg. 2

Pg. 3
Tear – Grandfather!! You didn’t need to . . .
Luke – It’s fine, Tear

Umm . . . Teodoro
About the trouble at Akzeriuth . . . I . . . umm
I- . . . I’m really sorry . . . !

Pg. 4
Teodoro – You have no need to apologize to me

The collapse of Akzeriuth is also recorded in the Score

Pg. 5
Tear – Grandfather!? What are you saying!?
Luke – So you knew it from the very beginning!? Then why didn’t you do anything to stop it!?
If you inform people about it, so many people wouldn’t have to die

Teodoro – That’s where the problem is

People will not be able to settle down when they face with their death Score

Luke – Of- . . . Of course!! . . . Sir!!
No one wants to die!!

Pg. 6
Teodoro - Long time ago, Yulia read the Score which said about the prosperity of Auldrant
Therefore, as long as we follow that Score, we are promised with the prosperity of this world

But what if history moves away from that in the Score?

We’ll lose even our approaching prosperity
Our job here is to prevent that from happening

Pg. 7
We are the watchers of history!!
And the Order of Lorelei serves as the tool for that

People are blessed with the Score and know of their future . . . and live as they’re told
There is no need to think about anything unnecessary for that

Akzeriuth was demolished because it is supposed to be

Pg. 8
Guy – Everything went as planned . . . huh?
Luke – That’s just totally insane!! Both that old man and the Order of Lorelei!!

Grand Maestros Mohs know about the Score so he tries to cause the war!!
Also, Master knows about it as well . . . so he made me . . .

Pg. 9
That old man said that there won’t be any further collapses, but like I can totally believe that
First . . . I am going back to the Outer Land
Umm . . . even if I have to go alone . . .

I won’t tell you to come with me
Since I don’t have any right to say so

I- . . . I am
Not “Luke” after all

Pg. 10
Ouch!!

寝てる間にずいぶんと卑屈になったもんだな？
Guy – Hey . . . you sure must had swallowed a lot of insults while you’re sleeping, haven’t you?
And here I was waiting for you all these time

Pg. 11
Bu- . . . But!! I’m a Replica
I’m neither the ambassador nor your boss anymore . . .

Guy – And what of it? Asch also doesn’t want to be called as Luke anymore as well

I’d say just take it
“Luke”

Pg. 12
First!!

You think I was waiting for you here because I’m your servant?

You are you, and Asch is Asch
You’re still the only real Luke for me

Pg. 13
Right?

Luke - . . . Th- . . . Thanks

Pg. 14
Guy – LUKE SAID “THANKS”!?
THAT EGOTISTICAL, UNGRATEFUL LUKE SAID “THANKS”??
IS THE APOCALPSE ABOUT TO HAPPEN?
Wait, it already happened, didn’t it?
I-I-I-I got to report to the Duke
Luke – Hey

Pg. 15

Pg. 16
Tear – My brother . . . he always loathes the Score
He said that he’ll never forgive the world that had forsaken Hod . . .

Luke – Hod?

Pg. 17
Tear - Malkuth’s Isle of Hod
An island that got erased from the globe, 16 years ago during the Hod War

Hod had collapsed
In the same way as Akzeriuth

The destruction of Hod was in the Score
But my brother and grandfather had lied to me that Malkuth and Kimlasca had never heard about it
Just to prevent me from the painful feeling that may result

Pg. 18
Hod was our hometown

My brother and my mother who was pregnant with me fell into Qliphoth along with Hod during the collapse
My brother must had sung the hymn to protect himself and my mother like what I did with all of you

Pg. 19
Van always said
That he won’t forgive the world that had forsaken Hod

The world that is bound to the Score should be annihilated

Pg. 20
So I think that my brother is planning on taking revenge on the world

I started thinking in that way
That my brother is planning on something horrible . . .

Something that might lead to the death of many innocent people!

I cannot allow that to happen
Even if Hod was forsaken because of the Score

Pg. 21
That’s why
I have to stop him, even if I have to die along with him

Luke – TEAR!!

Pg. 22
Tear - But look like I had failed
I couldn’t save Akzeriuth

Luke – But . . . that’s because I . . .

Tear – I couldn’t stop my brother
I can’t just blame everything on you . . .

Pg. 23
Luke – Tear . . . you’re strong . . .

I . . . want to become stronger too
I want to change

Even if I changed, I couldn’t possibly bring back Akzeriuth
And the truth that thousands of people had die will never change

Pg. 24
To be honest, I don’t even know what should I do
And . . . how should I change myself
I’m terrible, amn’t I? Not being able to say anything but that

I don’t think I can just do it right away
I might even make mistake again

But . . . I surely will change myself

Pg. 25
I want you to watch me
Tear

Tear - . . . I will
Guy and I can always watch over you anyway

Luke – Hm

Pg. 26
I’m watching
You right now

Pg. 27
Spinoza – Eek!!

Asch – I never thought I would meet with the traitor of Kimlasca in Belkend like this!!

Spinoza – You’re Luke . . . no, Asch!?
Natalia – What does that mean!?
Asch – He’s one of the people who kidnapped me!! Right, Spinoza!?

Spinoza – Any Fomicry researchers would dream of doing the same thing once in their lifetime
To use this technology on living things . . . !!

Pg. 28
You, out of all the people, should understand me best, right!?
Jade Curtiss . . . or should I say!!

Professor Jade Balfour

Thank you for reading . . .
