[It's over. Ishin is slain, his true nature revealed. Ankaia lies in ruins, many of its artifacts lost. It will not be able to sustain itself much longer - but Ynya and Kimhone promised to lead it to restoration, through cooperation with Earth, and wisdom: knowing whom they can trust, and who to avoid. But...]
I broke everyone's trust. I withheld things of importance. I was no Burned Out. Everyone assumed it but I never corrected them. And... I raised my hand against them. Such gratefulness.
[Sielje speaks to herself as she tries to sneak out from the base. She doesn't know where to go - but she cannot stay here.]
How can I face them anymore? After all I did? My... friends?

...

...
[Her steps cease.]

...
I... cannot.
I cannot disappear from everyone's lives. And I... definitely cannot forget. Even if it means facing them, and pain. I will not.
I am so stupid.
[She turns around and moves back - to the base, and to face the rest of her life, starting today.]
