[SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS PROCEDURE]

'

――

'

Among the immortals, here you are, Icarus.

'

Know this: you are not special, 

You will never be the hero of this tale. 

Placed here in the world, 

When it no longer wants you, you will fade away.

'

Let this thought sink deep within you,

Engrave it intimately so it becomes one with your being.

'

Do you see? Grandiosity is reserved for the mad.

'

You are a person of common sense;

Your caution will shield you from risk, 

And from it will stem your prudence.

'

Walk forth now, 

For the gates of the Dreadcast City lie open before you.

Walk, so that one day, perhaps, you may soar.
