[1 - immediately after Crazy Little Thing]
Ren is gone, their body disappeared in a golden light, their life - given up to show the Kin memories and the true face of humanity. The good, and the bad.
How did the Kin react? At first, they are shocked. Their units do not move anymore, and in fact quickly start to decompose into component pieces, random collection of metal and other rubbish. Only the pilots are left behind, some curled up in a ball from shock, others with an absent zombie-like gaze, others yet wailing loudly or punching the ground. It takes them a longer while to really try to collect themselves. But they are not a threat. Not anymore.
Eventually, one of them approaches you. It is Chou.

"I understand. We all understand now."
Chou falls to their knees, crying.
"How can you forgive us? You can't, not after what we did... what we were trying to do."
"I've been a fool. All of Kin were such fools. I can only, sincerely promise, that we will not harm humanity anymore. Even if we wanted to... our powers were fueled by our feeling towards humanity. Because of Ren, that feeling's gone. Forever."
"If you want us to be sentenced or to make amends in any way, you have rights to do so. I just ask you to judge every Kin individually. Not us all as a race."

"We were just a first wave." One of the Kin - those who came from the future, mentions as they depart.
"We were a first wave of many that were to come here. Others aren't coming, not without the beacon. They know how to find your time but without the beacon, it'd be suicide. They'd lose their minds, their lives, or worse."
"The rest of Kin will remain in our future. It's a shame... that they never got to experience what I just did."

[Volya is shaking, hands tight. He wants to hit Chou as hard as he can. He wants to keep hitting him and not know when he would ever stop.]
Ren's gone because of-

Ren's...

[He stays on the ground. Between Ren dying and the beating both he and Interitus took he just can't get up. As much as he wanted to he couldn't because he knew Ren would ask him to forgive Chou and the rest of the Kin.]

Chou kneels down next to Volya.
"I'm sorry..."

...Forgive you...I forgive you... just... just leave me alone and do something with the chance Ren gave you...

Chou actually pauses, surprised.
"I don't know what, not yet..."
"But I will."

THEN, CHOU, YOU ARE HEREBY UNDER PREVENTIVE ARREST UNTIL EITHER THE BELGIAN AUTHORITIES OR UNITY'S COMMANDER DECIDES WHAT TO DO WITH YOU AND WILL BE RELOCATED TO THE CELLS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
YOU STAND ACCUSED OF CONSPIRACY, BEING ACCESSORY AND ACCOMPLICE TO MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OF MURDER, TERRORISM, UNLAWFUL AGGRESSION, DESTRUCTION OF COUNTLESS INSTANCES OF PRICELESS BELGIAN HISTORIC HERITAGE, AND HALF A DOZEN OTHER EQUALLY SEVERE CHARGES. DO SO MUCH AS TWITCH IN THE WRONG WAY AND I'LL SHOW THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DIE IT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T MAKE YOU WISH YOU COULD. UNDERSTOOD?

Chou looks down on the cuffs with a neutral expression.
"Your assumption is wrong, in thinking I can't die. All Kin can, except for Ren. This is... why Hen was after Ren."

NOW START MOVING

Talk to the authorities about that. I have no idea how the law handles this, but you're probably still entitled to a trial...Even if I feel sorry for the judge trying to understand the case.
