[As the machines that made the trip to the Chimera Headquarters return, one that made the trip is missing. Thankfully, anyone looking for it will find that it isn't fair from Fort Alhambra. The machine is crouched over in one of the empty testing grounds, the self-repair of the machine running a lot slower than it usually does on top of the massive amount of damage it suffered during it's last fight. The pilot is not doing so well either. The man sits on top of the machine, not looking like his usual self at all. His gaze is set on the sunset and...the expression on his face is far from a happy one. He seems to be grasping at some sort of necklace, on closer inspector it's clear that he's holding onto a wedding ring that was kept on the necklace.]

...I bet you'd be laughing if you saw me right now.

[He also seems to be talking to himself. For someone who was just accused of killing someone he loved alongside 200 people, betraying his old friends, and trying to pull the wool over the Unity Group's eyes concerning his identity he seems...oddly calm. ]

The situation seems to be against your secrets now.

How much longer will you harbor it?

[a_linear_mind]

...what am I supposed to say?

[gravitons]

The truth. Slowly, but surely.

You needn't reveal it all at once. However, saying something is better than mere silence now that Aegis has discovered you.

[a_linear_mind]

...is it really?

[gravitons]

I doubt keeping them in the dark would be beneficial in this situation.

[a_linear_mind]

I just...don't want to talk about it.

You might have had the excuse of Volkruss controlling your actions but I don't. I made the conscious decision to do what I did.

[gravitons]

It was my decision that led to the events with Volkruss; if I hadn't joined the cult, many lives would not have been lost. For this, I only have myself to blame.

However, the most I can do is encourage you to speak of your past. Ultimately, the decision is yours.

[a_linear_mind]

...sorry, that was uncalled for.

[gravitons]

Do not be.

This is your past, and your despair.

...Whatever the path you may choose, there will always be those who stand beside you.
