[The feed starts. Some of you might recognize the area, others might not - it's not that popular anymore. Right now, you see, Kinzo is traversing the Ilex Forest, and he's having quite the time of it. He looks fairly roughed up, for a great number of reasons, but he looks like the reason he's turning on the feed is for reasons... other than his own safety. His expression doesn't give much away. Is he worried? Is he angry? Depending on who you are, how you last left him, you might have your own reason for believing something.]
... I... need to know something. I beg of you, those of you who have the information and answers I seek-- Regardless of the events of the past few days...
Indeed...! Regardless of impostors and fantasies and of... things of that manner... [Kinzo shakes his head, raising a hand to wipe his brow.] This is-- This is of... vital importance to me. No matter what state I am in... This is... more important than that.
[Kinzo takes a breath. A long, deep breath. He stops, to lean against a tree. Though a certain someone has compared him to the madman he is to become, this is hardly the case, and right now, more than ever, it shows through the conflicted expression on his face. His Wingull, perched on his shoulder as always, looks somewhat worried, but is otherwise silent as Kinzo keeps traveling through the trees and whatnot.]
These accursed nightmares... Of all times, must they plague me now...? And why of poor, little Maria...!? What sort of monster would even dream up such a...!? And of all times, when I must deal with that damned woman, walking around with the face of my Bice...!?
...
[Kinzo takes a deep breath. He is here for a reason. He is a soldier. He is to be the Ushiromiya head. He did not come here to vent his woes. He closes his eyes and straightens himself. That damned, disgusting witch can die for all he cares - he has far more important matters to attend to, far more worrying ones.]
Someone - no, anyone! Anyone at all! Confirm for me the locations and, more importantly, health of the following people: Ushiromiya Maria, Ushiromiya Lion, and Ushiromiya Jessica. [Kinzo pauses... shuddering? Yeah, he looks visibly disturbed about something.] It is of the utmost importance that I know, at the very least, that Ushiromiya Maria is safe and that no harm has befallen her. I would greatly appreciate this information, the sooner the better at that!
[Kinzo pauses again, looking like he greatly desires to say more, but he stops there. That's enough for now. He can ask if any others are being plagued by strange nightmares another time. For now... finding out if Maria is safe is the most important thing. ... Instead, he scowls.]
... As for any who claim to be "witches" but are not, for those who steal the faces and names of those who they are not, and to any and all other liars of this manner out there... And, of course, to any who use the title "Golden Witch" and cannot even understand the origin of such a name... If your like have fallen to the very depths of hell itself...!!
I do not mind at all. Your kind deserve all of this and more.

[Finally, Kinzo raises his head to offer Lion a look of gratitude. It is a torn look, filled with many emotions, but all of this information - this truth - will be a powerful weapon. As sick as he feels, as torn as he feels, as... as how he has no IDEA what to feel, this was a necessary step on his path.]
If I were to borrow your words, just as you and she are two halves of the same... Perhaps your stories are also two halves of the same, but in a different sense. They are both two halves of what I will use to kill the future Ushiromiya Kinzo. One of them the gun, the other the bullet. Both are necessary pieces, but both essentially useless without the other.
... Thank you, Lion. [Kinzo's eyes flash, and he offers his grandchild a smile.] With this gun you've given me, perhaps I can now become a threat to that witch, even if it isn't quite loaded just yet.
Then... Once I obtain the bullet...
[Kinzo's look becomes dangerous.]
Everything will be as it should be.

That Kinzo you intend to kill was the one who started all of that pain, the first link in a long chain of causality and coincidences.
Understand that she has the right to hate the man who was foolish enough start this. Understand that she has the right to stay silent about her own story and about whatever she wishes to hide.
Don't hurt her more than what is already done.

[Kinzo looks away for a moment. This may be a point they'll have to disagree on for a bit, at least until he and that Beatrice reach some sort of understanding.]
But understand, even if she is my own grandchild, she is still parading around with the face of the woman I love - a woman who is dead in her world, in all worlds, as it seems - and claiming to be that very woman, having taken some mystical form. Now, more than ever, I know that this is false
[he sighs, weary all of a sudden]
Perhaps she has the right to hate that man. Perhaps she has the right to stroll around before him, taunting him in a way that only the worst of men deserve to be taunted.
... But Lion? [Now, Kinzo's gaze becomes icy, his words like razors.] I am not that man, and I never will be. Bice does not deserve such treatment, and regardless of my sins, never will. [a solemn pause] And certainly not when she should be allowed to rest. This granddaughter of ours... That is all the more reason I teach her the meaning of the word "respect".

Just don't let your anger get the best of you, that is all I ask.

... We shall see.
