Nausicaä: So…did you fight them in the end? Telemachus: Yes, we killed them all, my father and I. Nausicaä: How does it feel to get rid of them? Telemachus: I don’t know. I thought I’d feel relieved for the first time in my life…but there’s only remorse in my heart. It’s almost as if I’m blaming myself for what I’ve done. Nausicaä: But isn’t killing them justified? They’re literally using their courtship of your mother as an excuse. They have been bullying you ever since. Telemachus: Nausi…can I tell you something? Nausicaä: Yes? Telemachus: I…I think I have gotten used to their bullying. Nausicaä: That’s not a good thing, right? Telemachus: I know it’s not. I know it feels wrong to succumb…but this has been my life for years. There was not a day when I wasn’t haunted by their mockery, and there was not a moment when I wasn’t daydreaming about their destruction in my father’s hands. I’ve grown so used to this that sometimes I don’t even know how I can handle my life when it is over—when there is no more suitors to deal with, and no more waiting…no more daydreams. And now that it is over—I think I’ve lost a part of me. But for good or ill—I can’t tell. Nausicaä: Well, can I tell you a story of mine? Telemachus: Sure. Nausicaä: Ever since your father came, bringing his tales to my dreams—there was not a day when I wasn’t thinking about his story. There was not a moment when I wasn’t daydreaming that he would return, perhaps to tell us more about himself. So I waited, and waited, but then I met you. You are not a copy of your father—and you have brought your own story so different from your father’s. I was not expecting this at all—and frankly I was so terrified at the beginning. But then…I find myself attached to it. I find myself…attached to you. And I know my life has indeed been changed forever. And I know it’s changed for the better. Telemachus: Really? Nausicaä: Definitely. So you see, you have reunited with your father—what better thing can you hope for? So just relax, Tele. There are no more suitors to deal with. You don’t have to daydream anymore, now that you have your father. Telemachus: *nods* And now that I have you. Yes, you’re right, Nausi. You’re right.
