We could both die here too if things go badly. Who knows what the demons will do if they start outnumbering us. Or if we're condemned as demons ourselves...

We're all people who make mistakes. Hiro and I can make our own mistakes or we can wait to be the victim of others' mistakes.

Very well.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for this burden, sir. I know it isn't fair.

I've already made one mistake that split brothers. If you want to run, then run. A blasphemer will be routed anyway.

... Before that, please be honest. What exactly did you see?

This place isn't.... It's not cute or homey or anything like that. It's like a wasteland. And the Lady...

Like a giant insect. But not even a real one, like a monster. Eyes everywhere and tendrils and.

. . .And you saw this in your dreams?

[broboticist]

I see it right now.

It's not my dream it's my reality.

...

All this time?

It wasn't like this at first but. Now that's. That's the world I'm living in.
