Heaven's Mirror

Beat: Huh? Wait Frederic! What are you doing?

Alegretto: Hey! Where are you going?

Chopin: When a man's consciousness is fading away he will find without fail that he comes face to face with his own soul and must challenge it. It is the one moment that we are able to look directly upon our naked selves. I have no longer any doubt in my mind that for me that time has now come. Don't you all understand? You're nothing more than fictional characters that I created in my mind!

Beat: Frederic! What are you doing?

Chopin: When I am defeated in this battle a truth will be born in this world. And a fleeting dream will transform slowly filling with color. And only when this ordeal is finally overcome, will my soul at last be allowed to leave my physical body. Then let us test it. Whether I...no. Whether my spirit can become a lance...capable of piercing through every one of you! We'll see if I am truly such a weak human being!​

And then, the final battle starts...
