Well, you can't use it alone. You need two people to stand before the Manifest, but only one will receive its power. [He lets a sigh.] There are two interpretations to this condition... One says that those two people have to wish for the same thing. The other one, though... is too cruel.
[After a moment of silence, he shakes his head lightly.]
No, it's... It's not just sacrificing the other person's ideals. That second way to get the Manifest's power requires you to actually sacrifice that person.
Especially that the person you have to sacrifice has to be someone you care about. [So, not as easy as you think.] It's hard to imagine anyone could do such a thing...
Mmh, thinking of it, wouldn't this be one of the cases where it'd be better if the knowledge about it got lost? I know that the knowledge about the Numeron Code is actually like really, really, really restricted in our world, and that's why the last war about it lies really long back.

[A lot easier, actually.]
...worse. It's really bad, having to do that and having it done to you!

Especially that the person you have to sacrifice has to be someone you care about. [So, not as easy as you think.] It's hard to imagine anyone could do such a thing...
[And yet they do.]

I bet there are enough who can.

As much as he doesn't want it to be true, the other is right.]
...That's why it's best if it doesn't fall in wrong hands. [He mutters that more to himself than to the other.]

Ah, n-no. I... [He fails at this.] A-anyway! I just remembered something! I think I should be going now...
[Trying to escape now? Well, yes.]

[Actually she's the other part of his soul. Literally. But why was that part reincarnated as a woman - don't ask him.]
