"The Crest is a boon, but at the same time it is a chain that constrains fate. You can die from external factors, but you can't break the family's rules with your own hands. In other words, retirement is not allowed in the form of suicide due to frustration. Especially if it's an old family line. I'll tell you exactly why because you are ignorant to the fact. "The Order of Beginning" of the families that existed before the Christian era. The most sublime blood order in the magical world. A cursed, absolute pride, that continues the Order until the family line is cut off. That is what we call the Coronal Rank Designation - GRAND ORDER. It's a god-given responsibility from where the mage's family lines spread. Mr. Flauros was undoubtedly the heir of a prestigious magi family line that dates back to the Christian era. So he can't commit suicide due to despair." (Touko)

"...Pride? Absolutely strict pride? Huh. Well, maybe I can explain it. It's like being an ant in a hive." (Aoko)

"What? Did you really understand?" (Touko)

"...Well, I'm not so convinced, but maybe. If it's an extension of that order, it can be explained, right? Then there is only one answer. Flauros of the "now" did not commit suicide, but was forced to commit suicide to stop the Flauros of the past and future. Even from your point of view Mr. Flauros of the future was terrible, wasn't he? The same goes for Mr. Flauros of the past. The research of these two people would bring ham to this present world just by continuing it. Because they thought they didn't need anything other than the time they were looking at." (Aoko)

"...That's right. Even if the order engraved on Flauros was not destructive, the idea of excluding others was dangerous. But how does that lead to suicide?" (Touko)

"So wasn't the "present" Flauros the same? His order is to protect the Present So he had to stop Lev Uvall and Lainur Gusion, who were only interested in the direction of time they were looking at. But he, who can't kill a human named Flauros, acted for indirect self-destruction by closing the now." (Aoko)

That's it. That is my current conclusion.

If we kill the past, only the future will rejoice.
When the future is closed, only the past becomes robust.
It just follows the speculation of someone who gave me Karma.
So in order to protect the now, the me of the now had to disappear.
Even if no one knows if the result was achieved.

"If so, it's an ironic story. The present Mr. Flauros took such a method, probably dreaming of reconciliation between the two remaining personalities. If they were cooperating, at least the human named Flauros would have survived." (Touko)
