Transcript[]

Knowing that Sr. Ramon Salazar has no family, Lord Saddler must have used his strong faith in Los Illuminados to his advantage to talk Sr. Salazar into undoing the seal of the Las Plagas once done by his ancestor.

Sr. Salazar would never do such a thing unless he was in some way being used unknowingly. I should have sensed the Lord's dirty scheme sooner. I feel I'm partly responsible for all of this.

I have no idea as to what the Lord is planning, but Sr. Salazar was just being used.

It is too late now however, Sr. Salazar has already taken the Plaga into his body.

There is no turning back once the Plaga has turned into an adult in the body.

The Plaga parasite will not die unless the host dies. There's no cure. Perhaps, Sr. Salazar may have been vaguely aware of the Lord's plan all along. But it's so hard to tell.

Nevertheless, there's nothing I can do about it now.

I have served the Salazar family for generations. I am prepared to continue my services until the very end.

家族のいないラモン様は、信仰するロス・イルミナドス教団の教祖サドラーに、心の隙をつかれたのでしょう。

そうれなければ、ラモン様自身が、代々サラザール家が封印してきた「プラーガ」を解き放つなど、あり得ない事です。

これも教祖サドラーの企みを、感知できなかった私の責任です。

あの男が、最終的に世界をどうしようとしているのかは分かりませんが、ラモン様は、それに利用されただけなのです。

しかし今さらどう後悔しようとも、ラモン様は、すでにご自身で「プラーガ」を受け入れてしまいました。

体内の「プラーガ」が成体になった時点で、もうこの寄生体から逃れる術はありません。

中枢神経に寄生する「プラーガ」は、人間が死なない限り取り除けないのです。

ひょっとしたらラモン様も、ご自身がだまされた事には、薄々気付いているのかもしれませんが、どちらにしても、我々にはもう引き返す事はできません。

私も代々サラザール家に仕えてきた者として、最後までラモン様と運命を共にする覚悟です。

Analysis[]

Written by Salazar's butler who is unseen, this warns that Saddler persuaded Salazar to once again unleash Las Plagas upon the world. Eventually, the Plagas within Salazar has already grown to an adult state, the point of no return as killing the adult plaga will also kill the infectee. This butler seems prepared to serve Salazar even under these cirtumstances.
