Lord Strath is surrendering himself to nature.
"Um... Lord Stras?" "..." "Um... hello?" "..." "Lord Stras!" "Whoa!? Oh, you startled me. Please don't raise your voice so suddenly, Lord Phoenix. You'll frighten 'everyone'." "'Everyone'? But it's just the two of us here." "'Everyone' means *everyone*. The many trees, grasses, and flowers here. And the countless living creatures that inhabit this place. That is who I mean." "I... see... (・_・;)" "We coexist with them within nature. We must understand and respect one another. If we fail to do so, the balance of the natural world will collapse, and everything will perish. That is something that must never happen. Even if this universe—or this dimension itself—is destined for extinction in the distant future, that would be the natural order of things, an inevitable conclusion. Therefore, I believe our role is to prevent that natural flow from being artificially disrupted." "As I thought... your perspective—or perhaps your way of thinking—is quite different from ours. It’s beyond the imagination of someone like me, who is constantly consumed by worldly affairs. I never met anyone like you back in my days as an angel, either." "I obtained the seed for this Bodhi tree from the human realm and planted it here. It is a sacred tree, said to be the very one under which a human saint attained enlightenment. That is why I occasionally sit in meditation here to align my mind and body." "Now that you mention it, I do feel a sense of purification. It feels as though a sense I’ve never been able to access before is about to open up. What could it be... a 'seventh sense' of some kind?" Phoenix, just which Athena's Saint are you? Also, the Bodhi tree thing is the opponent's shtick, lol.
