Jasper and Rodney stare each other down as if about to throw hands.

Debate Start!

Rodney
* I am appalled by the behaviour of you youths. Your mere presence here is an act of disrespect -- a disrespect I WILL NOT TOLERATE!

Jasper
* I don't think it's very disrespectful at all! We were only here to admire the scenery, after all. Isn't that a good thing?

Rodney
* Your excuses don't fool me. This place is not merely my GRAVE! It was my PRIDE! And you TROD ON MY BONES and LAUGH AT THE ASHES!

Jasper
* But we didn't-- I mean, O, great spirit! We knew not of this place's significance to you, when we arrived!
* Surely, if we didn't know, then our actions cannot be considered an act of wilful disrespect!

Rodney
* But THAT JUST MAKES IT WORSE!

Jasper
* ....Huh? What? How so?

Rodney
* Don't you GET IT!? Your IGNORANCE only PROVES HOW LITTLE YOU THOUGHT OF THIS PLACE!

Jasper
* But surely, that doesn't... make sense! If we didn't know about your history with this place, we couldn't have any opinion of it!

Rodney
* Exactly!! You think so little of it you don't think of it at all!
* How could this be anything BUT DISRESPECT!?

Jasper
* ...So your problem is that we didn't have any opinions on the old factory before we got here?

Rodney
* There is no greater indignity!
* If you hated me, I could claim you simply disagreed with my working practices...
* But THIS?? To be FORGOTTEN?
* My beloved factory... my life's work... reduced to a mere CURIOSITY???

Jasper
* When you put it like that...
* It sounds like your problem is not with us at all.
* It sounds like your problem is you fear your life's work has amounted to nothing!

Rodney
* Are you trying to mock me, child!?

Jasper
* No, no, not at all!
* In fact, I think your fears are entirely unfounded!

Rodney
* Huh!?
* Explain yourself!

Jasper
* Don't you see?
* Your legacy isn't just this factory. The bricks and walls and concrete.
* Your legacy is this whole town!

Rodney
* Hmph... you're trying to flatter me, aren't you...

Jasper
* It's no mere flattery!
* Your factory kept this town alive! It fed its burgeoning economy!
* Without your efforts here, without all you've done, Fairwell would never be the town it is today!
* And that's why, no matter what happens to this place here and now... your mark on this town has already been made!

Rodney
* I... You...
* My god.... You're right...!



Rodney smiles ruefully as his form begins to dissipate

Rodney
* Thank you, child.
* Thanks to your kind words... my unfinished business is resolved.
* I can finally move on.
* I'll never forget you... Jasper.

Rodney sighs in relief as he vanishes completely.

Jasper
* Welp!
* That went well.

Jasper looks pleased with himself. Behind him, Moon-Soo looks aghast at what just happened while Sunny seems ready to strangle Jasper.
