Ten years did pass by pretty quickly, huh...? It almost feels like a dream. It's more than I could've ever hoped for...
[ He's quiet for a moment. ]
... Hey. Remember the stories you told me when I was younger? And how everything held value, depending on the person?
[ After another pause, he continues. ]
The treasure—it's not what people think it is. If there's anything left behind, it's the belongings of those who died there a long time ago. Things that they grew up with, things that belonged to their family... things like that.
... This might sound crazy, but the spirit of one of those people is still lingering there. She's afraid that the things once important to her will stay hidden forever, forgotten in the dark. So... I made a promise: that once I was ready, I would unearth them for her.
If she would have it be unearthed, though, then let us bring it all back to light-- if you are prepared to take on the burden of remembrance, for what we may find there. 'Twould be pointless to allow it to die out again within subsequent generations.
... Yeah. Like he said, it was kind of a secret. But I met her there, before I met you guys. I did mention that I got into trouble for exploring before, didn't I?
[ Haha! But then Kaiza's eyes turn distant for a second, before he nods slowly. ]
I'll make sure it's remembered. This, at least, should be.

Yes, yes, you are welcome for not letting you wander off into the jungle to meet an untimely death on our first meeting.
[his arms remain folded, but he does relent after a moment and add:]
You have not been an unpleasant child to rear.

[He says, with a smirk...and then his expression turns thoughtful at the explanation. Frowning, Hansa finally pipes up after Kaiza is done:]
Who is this "her", though? You never mentioned anything about this promise to us...

[a little quieter than usual, maybe.]
