Tatsumi: So... Emperor, huh ? You want us to address you as majesty now ?
"Don't you fucking dare. I didn't spend the last years of my life laying low for it to leak out now. And please, don't say it to anyone else."
Najenda: Knowing the Imperial blood is still alive outside of the Minister's grasp would stirs the embers of revolution like nothing else...
"And throw thousand of innocent lives into disarray as civilians try to take up arms ? No thanks."
Najenda: So you're not planning to take back the throne ?
"Not in the slightest. This Empire is dead, rotten to the core. All I want is finally lay it to rest."
Tatsumi: ... An Empire is defined by its people, huh...
"We'll need all the power we can to make it so... Speaking of, Tatsumi... How're you holding up with all of that ?"
Tatsumi: No problems... On the contrary, it's like there's power welling up from inside my body...
Najenda: ... Then it's just as the doctor said.

Doctor: as I suspected... it's starting to bond with you, young man. Whether you were consumed by the armor, or it fused with you... You are becoming Incursio's dragon body.
Najenda/Tatsumi: ... ... !
Doctor: Do not mistake this for the sound of a power-up in the least. Rather, as a mortal, believe me when I say this will break you. Although, as opposed to a poison, this will gradually make you stronger... It is, in fact, what saved your life this time around.
"So in other words... Tatsumi has become some sort of hybrid between human and danger beast..."
Najenda: Bulat has equipped Incursio dozens of times...
Doctor: But Bulat used it in a just, proper way. Having heard the story, it's clear that this case is different. I told you that it would be impossible for Incursio to fight against the two top of the Empire.
Tatsumi: ... I can endure any pain that's required... Just give me strength...
Doctor: This is the cost. You will become stronger, but as the user, it begins to drive you towards destruction. After 10... No, just a fewyears. Although, who knows, if you continue your training and build your strength... You might become able to use it without overdoing it, properly, like Bulat... But...
