Exit Fate: Meiko's Interviews

Angel

Meiko: Today I'm interviewing Angel Windsor, former Kirgard colonel and childhood friend of Daniel Vinyard. Miss Windsor, the first thing I wanted to ask: having worked so closely with Mr. Vinyard and Mr. Knight in the past, it must've been tough dealing with people with such strong personalities.

Angel: I've grown used to it. I've known them for so long, it's become normal to me. They can be difficult at times, but we're still friends.

Meiko: You joined the army before Daniel did. Was it Jovian Knight who convinced you to sign up?

Angel: Yes, he talked to me about it many times. He felt very strongly about fighting Almenga, you see. To him, it was a fight that concerned everyone, one that had to be won. If it weren't for him, I don't think either Daniel or me would have joined the army. But... after the war, I do think he felt guilty about pressuring us to join.

Meiko: Guilty?

Angel: I think he saw it as just another of his adventures. Even though we were all adults, we didn't truly realize what it meant to fight in a war. There were times when we almost died, and I think he felt guilty about that, about putting his friends' lives in danger. We all matured a lot during that year.

Meiko: I see... but there was still another close friend of yours who didn't come with you, wasn't there?

Angel: Yes... Brunhild was the only one to stay behind. None of us even considered asking her. I was raised as a blacksmith's daughter and spent all my life around weaponry, but she was different. She hated fighting, and she always tried to break up arguments between us. When Daniel decided to leave... it was a difficult time for her. She frequently sent us letters, always asking if we were doing fine. I'm sure she was very lonely during that time. I wonder if... that was one of the reasons she changed so much.
