Memory 6: Telling Sion he believes in his dream



Ryner: This place brings back some pretty nostalgic memories.
Sion: Indeed. It's where I first raised a toast with you.
Sion: Ryner.
Ryner: Huh?
Sion: Really, thanks for today.
Ryner: Huh? Every once in a while, you know. But after this I'll definitely get one awesome nap.
Sion: Well, there's actually something that still needs to be done as soon as possible.
Ryner: Hey now, don't say that. If I work more like this, I'll really die.
Sion: [laughs] Working ten days straight is pretty then, I guess.
Ryner: You know... I'd have liked it if you'd realized that by the second or third day instead.
Sion: True enough. Now then, shall we head back and get a bit of sleep?
Ryner: Yeah! I'm going back to the inn then.
Sion: I'll have someone pick you up when you wake up so we can continue on what's left.
Ryner: Not interested.
Sion: I'll come get you in three hours.
Ryner: Huh?! The hells' that? I've hardly gotten any sleep at all!
Sion: Then how many hours do you want?
Ryner: About three hundred hours perhaps.
Sion: Right, we'll go for something in-between, so say four hours then.
Ryner: How's that in the middle?! Besides, you should get some sleep too! You haven't slept properly in ages.
Sion: I had no choice. To complete the change in this country, we still have to enrich the education, improve the medical care, and... reform the taxes, development of technology and... then there's...
Ryner: Seriously, just how much of a workaholic are you anyway?
Ryner: Oh right, Sion.
Sion: Hmm?
Ryner: Sion... Sorry. Back then, I really thought all you said was just some realizable dream. "I'll become the king of this land and change everything." "I'll create the world you desired." It wasn't an unrealizable dream. This country changed. You changed it. Where no one has to cry, where everyone can be happy, such a world...
Sion: It's an unrealizable dream. For that sake, how many of our friends died? For the sake of my ideal, how many humans have died? How many were sacrificed for the world as it is now?
Ryner: Still, without you here, this country would've always remained in darkness. It's... enough. You're working really hard. I know that. So stop punishing yourself by working too much. This country has changed. Even if you skip out for a while, it won't go back to the way it was. If you're doing it wrong or if you could've done it in a better way, there's no longer any need to be afraid. As of now, you've got a lot, right? Like that idiot redhead, the guys in the Taboo Breaker squad, and then there's Ferris, and me. You don't have to take it all upon yourself any longer. This country is changing perfectly, in a good way.


What he learns?
- Taboo Breaker squad
- Sion made him some promise before about changing the world. It sounds like part of that promise was specifically for Ryner. Was this before Sion became king? The place that they're at in the memory seems to belong to a former training institute...
- He must have been pretty cynical in the past to blow off such an idealistic dream.
- Sion is still a dumb workaholic.
- Sion has managed to make Roland a prosperous place. This confirms his belief that Sion is a good king, which he has believed since his memories have shown him how hard Sion works for his kingdom. This also shows that Roland was once really terrible and that Sion managed to reverse all that, showing that he's not only a great king but a transformational one. So much admiration points here.
- Sion is (sometimes) awesome.
- Sion seems to think he has to do everything by himself, just like in Aather, when it's clear he does have very loyal people willing to help him back home too. Ryner plans on REMINDING Sion of this.
- Are the dead friends Sion's talking about the same ones he wrote about in his report? He's still unsure whether he killed them, but this conversation seems to place the blame elsewhere... Which presents the possibility that he was imprisoned back then because he is an Alpha Stigma bearer and they wanted to keep him away from people. Maybe Sion really did come up with a way to control this.
- Sion does not think of his efforts as that impressive and always thinks he needs to do better. See SION IS A DUMB WORKAHOLIC. This basically means Ryner will be much more encouraging of Sion's work to enforce that Sion does his best and should stop seeing it as not good enough.

Overall, this memory makes Sion even more trusting of Sion's desire to make the best decisions he can for the good of everyone. It also makes him want to try a bit harder to not be overcome by the negative things he's experienced in his memories so far since he wants to emphasize to Sion that he really is helping, and that it's all right. So yes, POSITIVE FEELINGS.
