🔪 Do you? Or do you think you do? Grandmother, Olive, do you think she's as bad as that man tells you she is? And isn't just broken, like all of us?

You know how well Alice speaks of her.

🐰 . . . We're done here.

🔪 Very well, I'll talk to you again soon.

🐰 How do you- Ah, right. Alice.

🔪 Hundreds, perhaps thousands, even more, will be killed, locked away, sold for profit, abused, and exploited.

Why would you, with your own past, want such a thing to be?

You have your doubts, your grievances, your disagreements.

Come on, it's just me and you. I'm all ears.

And then what about the long term? What do you hope to get out of all this eventually?

I see... claimed to be the saviour of them all, and now you're finally seeing the truth. You were never the saviour *or* the hero.
