[Ren's room has been vacated. Scarce personal possessions have been moved elsewhere, and the whole place looks like if no one ever lived there, left in a pristine condition.
The horned person can still be found in a Unity Group base, head bowed in prayer in front of the wall of rememberance. Ren wears the same robe they were first found in. Even the gunshot hole and the bloodstains are there.]
Seeing even one person die in front of my eyes, their life lost - when I had means of preventing it... it makes me feel guilty. It's a selfish emotion because it makes you feel bad for yourself rather than the one who just died. But we are inherently self-centered beings. Aren't we?
[As their eyes open, Ren smiles sadly.]
My time draws close. I know I am going to die - not exactly when, not yet, but it will be soon. And I know where it will happen. I really doubt the circumstances will be peaceful, so I already informed Roland. We will do everything we can to ensure no further tragedy strikes.
...
I am really happy we could have met. Thank you for everything.

My feelings are those of extreme certainity. I am very sure of this, as sure of me breathing or being here.
But it's still possible I am wrong.

...Let me tell you this. At times, you can be a bit infuriating to deal with. Your pursue universal love to the point of foolishness. Your spirituality has no reflection in real life. And it would really help if you actully got angry once in a while.
But none of this means I do not respect you. Or that I regret having met you. You are much stronger than one would assume, and you use all of this strength to do good. I want your prediction, this feeling pre-programmed into your genetic code, to be wrong.

But that this the kind of person you are. This is the person that I love. Hetepheres - I love you... and everyone else, but you already knew that, didn't you?
And what you said means a lot to me. It really, really does.

Live, Ren Ubuntu. And if you have to die, make sure to die for a good reason.
