I have been eagerly waiting for you here. I am excited to finally uncover the truth... Judging from the Dran's Note that you have in your hand, I guess my wishes have come true... I had a hunch that you'd successfully uncover the truth about Dr. De Lang and Magatia.

If you believe I deserve the blame, then I have nothing to say about that. How can I say anything when I perpetuate the swirling rumors about Dr. De Lang by not commenting on his innocence? But if silence is also considered a sin, then can I at least say something about other alchemists?

Other alchemists are totally unaware about Dr. De Lang, nor the origin of Magatia. The reason they were pointing their fingers at Dr. De Lang was because they really didn't know any better... they aren't guilty of this, either. Please do not blame the proud alchemists, who have all dedicated their lives to alchemy and little else.

The only person that is guilty of all this is me, Maed. Can you at least try to understand this foolish president, who still wishes to cover up the truth even after Dr. De Lang's sacrifice?

...then I want you to hand me Alcadno's Cape and Dran's Note. As long as the book is still out, there's still a chance of the truth being released to the public. By incinerating the book, we're going to burn the truth in flames... even if that means not doing the right thing.

Now please hand me Dran's Note...

I was hoping for someone to prove Dr. De Lang's innocence. Once that person came forward, however, I have managed to hide the truth again... isn't that just incomprehensible? I don't know how I am going to live down with this for the rest of my life... can you handle it?
