Virgil and Febronia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bracelet of his right arm and his past with her
* Bracelet
Virgil wore a bracelet on his right arm. It is a trinket of recollections
concerning his past. Being a soldier, he is not permitted to equip an
unnecessary ornamental piece. But again, because of his personality, he
disregards the regulations and does not consider it to be decorative. Thus, by
wearing the article even to the point of breaking the rules, we can guess that
there is a big reason for this which is something that has to do with his past.
In that bracelet, there is the possibility of a connection with Febronia. When
he was shot by KOS-MOS onboard the Woglinde, on the very brink of death, he saw
an illusion of the appearance of a person's silhouette-- it was Febronia. It
was a scene from his past that he sees at the moment of death. Being that it
was something profoundly etched into memory, there is a high possibility that
it is a memory that is extremely important. With the combination of these two
things-- that there is only a single ornamental piece that he wears even to the
point of breaking the rules, and that there is a character that appears to him
just at the brink of death-- there is no doubt that the nature of a
relationship may be correct.
* Connection between Virgil and Febronia
Virgil is considered to harbor emotions similar to hatred towards Realians. His
speech against Realians while onboard the Woglinde gives an example for that
reason.
As for the reason that Virgil sees Febronia, who is a Realian, at the verge of
his death... [I don't understand this sentence so I left it with a "...".
There's nothing untranslated; I just don't get it. Any help would be
appreciated.]
In describing the personality of the Virgil of the present, a personal
experience from Miltia 14 years ago is said to have changed him. That is
considered to have also changed his attitude towards Realians.
From the Miltia of 14 years ago, in the matter that ought to have special
mention about the connection between Virgil and Realians, there is Virgil's DME
addiction. DME addiction occurs in a human who ingested Realian body tissue,
mainly neural[?] tissue. 14 years ago, Virgil brought about this condition.
Also, in front of Shion, he talks of dissecting Realians for both their
hardware and software. That is, he indicates understanding both sides by
assimilation; observational understanding due to physical dissection, and
affected health level due to ingesting the resulting body tissue.
From that fact, how is Febronia connected? Virgil dismantled and ate Realians,
but what of Febronia? [Another iffy sentence:] Or, according to Febronia's
speech and conduct or otherwise the question of the nature of the connection,
did it extend to the act of Virgil eating Realians? [I think this is saying:
Was Virgil's connection with Febronia directly related to his DME addition?]
At any rate, Virgil hated and even ate Realians, but when he was dying, he
harbored no hatred towards Febronia.
