"Hey, Mom."
"Hi, Yuri! Why are you calling me? Is something wrong?"
"I know what happened fifteen years ago."
"Many things happened fifteen years ago, which one, dear?"
"Markov."
"..."
"Yeah."
"How did you know about that?"
"My sister's soul spoke to me."
"Libitina…"
"I need to go back."
"No. You're not going anywhere near that hellhole. It's too dangerous. You're lucky I saved you."
"Markov had my real mother and so many other people killed. He kidnapped people born with the Third Eye and used them for his crazy experiments in concentration camps. He's a modern-day Hitler, Mom! Do you expect me to watch him torture the rest of the Eximinae within an inch of their life like a damn movie?"
"..."
"Well, Mom? Do you?"
"My God, Yuri. I've never seen you like this."
"Is that a yes or a no?"
"No. I'll let you fight for the Eximinae."
"A wise choice."
"On one condition."
"What's that?"
"I go with you. You don't know how to get into the building, you were only three when I took you."
"Deal."
"One more question. Is Libitina going?"
"Yeah. She said she found a body."
"Alright. Enjoy the rest of the night, Yuri. After all, it's still your birthday."
"Bye, Mom."
"Bye, Yuri."
