[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."

[You won't find any immediate forgiveness here, as Alex is still looking rather pissed after leaving Enki on the rim of the zone destroyed in the fighting.]

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.

You do realize how insane it is going to sound? I was near Ren for months and I'm still not sure I really understand it all.
