"I see...Well I'm certain that things will be fine. The worst is over with correct? Things can't get much worse then they already have." Pir'e says rather dismissive.

"If you're sure Cayenne. Then let's talk somewhere private kiddo." I say giving Ophelia my full attention. I open another portal and the two of us go through it. The room on the other side is full of maps and papers with a desk and some tables. A door is on the opposite side and closed tight, and, given the state of the room; it's recently been dusted. "This is your study...I used to love spending time in her pouring over your old maps...that was some odd years back though..." She tells me remembering. "Ophelia, you want to talk about something important right? What was it?" I ask trying to get her to focus. She nods and turns to me. "I...I wanted to say that...I'm going to complete this mission no matter what. I'm going to give it my all for Roo, to change her fate, to prevent Jeiel from dying, I'm going to do whatever it takes!" She tells me determined. "That's all? All you wanted to tell me was that you're going to do what you came back in time to do? Ophelia, quite with the cut and dry and be honest with me. You really think that just because you came back in time means that you can prevent what happened? That you'll fix the future? Were that the case, don't you think you would've gone back in time and stoped the Order from burning down my village? From killing my parents? From killing Candace? Did it ever occur to you that maybe you shouldn't have come back? That the reason why Jeiel got killed was because you tried to fix things? The flow of time is not something to be taken lightly Ophelia, my ring allows me to stop it for precious seconds and that takes massive amounts of DE and Mana from my body not to mention the fact that I'm still affected by time itself AND I get hurt in the process! You think that fate is something you can just say no to and change it? Do you think you're the Chief Goddess or the Demon Lord?" I ask her with complete seriousness.

"THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!? JUST LET HER LIFE GET BROKEN!?" She yells starting to cry. I sigh and lean my arm against a wall. "Ophelia...You must know that Lic-chan drew up the plans for a device that allows the person to turn back time. It had to have been finished or some kind of prototype or at the very least had to have been made for you to come back here. You think that the idea of going back and stopping that horrible night hasn't crossed my mind? Did I ever tell you why I didn't do that in your time?" I ask her. She sniffles a bit, wiping tears away. "Y-yes...You said that everything you've done...your entire life would've been thrown away..." She says in between hiccups. I nod. "Yes, that's exactly why Ophelia. Actions have consequences, you have to understand that. I've learned that time and again every time I come home, every time I see her Majesty Lustia, every time I look at myself in the mirror. Everything has a price, and you might regret paying that price my dear. Listen to me, I understand where you're coming from, things are tough for you, you have the hopes of others riding on your back. What you want to do is noble, but tell me, have you ever heard this phrase before? 'If you want to make a wish for somebody else, then you really need to take the time to think about what you actually want.' because that's the problem right now. You're going to do something for someone else and think that when it all works out, everything will be fine afterwards. Life doesn't work that way Ophelia." I tell her placing an hand on her head.

"Then what do I do?" She asks wiping the rest of her tears away. "Simple my little girl, don't do this for Roo's sake but for your own. You have more priorities than just what will happen if Jeiel dies. Have faith in him and everyone else, you don't need to do this alone anymore. You don't need to change fate, you only need to know that fate can be changed itself." I tell her. "But...doesn't that mean the same thing dad?" She asks me. "It does, a friend of mine once told me that. I know it's confusing, but just trust me, you'll figure it out one day." I tell her rubbing her head. We hug for a few minutes in silence as I stroke her hair before we return. "We're all set, I'm ready to go at anytime." Ophelia states with renewed determination.
