A look into the past

[caressthedarkness]

[On one particular day, Seta can be found on the observation deck of the Star Rose. She's slowly going through an old looking tome that is written in a mysterious language. Perhaps it's unlike her, but she speaks to herself as she wonders...]

Our late leader...insisted that no records of the war be kept...

...So, why did the Foundation note all the conflicts between humans after that time...?

And in a tome with this title...

[This clearly has her bothered, and after being involved in battles against humans who are as eager to harm others as Kijin from beyond Gates, she has a feeling that she knows the answer to her question.]

But some humans are worth protecting, right? We can't judge the whole species by its worst parts!

And... no matter what their individual reason is, all the Kijin we met who broke from their prison were hostile, right?

[caressthedarkness]

That is true.

The Kijin we have encountered so far have all been hostile...yet I cannot say the same for every single one I have fought, especially before my time with the Unity Group. Some emerged from the Gates dazed and confused...

The Foundation's existence proves that we can suppress our instincts...so, there may be those who are no longer hostile within that prison, and simply wish to escape.

[herodrawing]

Did you... end up fighting them, too?

[caressthedarkness]

...My mission was to eliminate them, and so I did.

[herodrawing]

I see why you're so troubled, now...

[caressthedarkness]

[Nod.]

I will not question the situation if a Kijin is clearly hostile...but from now on, I must ensure that they are...

This...may be a sign there is hope for the Foundation.

[herodrawing]

Let's work together, okay Seta? If there's a team, we can do more and ensure you're not forced to make a decision you'll later regret.

[caressthedarkness]

...I understand.

[She doesn't seem very convinced. Even Izuru can see that.]

Seta, umm...

[herodrawing]

It's a promise!

A hero's promise and heroes don't break promises! Please accept!

[caressthedarkness]

[This kind of response is very surprising.]

Ah...if you say so...

Then...I accept.

[herodrawing]

I'll do everything I can. It's a promise.
