Thorn: "That speech from earlier... What a load of bullshit"

Talulah narrowed her eyes

Talulah: "How did you manage to survive that with barely any protection?"

Thorn: "Like those flames were even hotter than the ones I was in before, have you ever been inside a volcano before?"

Talulah: "Tsk"

Thorn: "Any-who... 'For slaughtering your fellow Infected' Its a pretty good one! The Hypocrisy with this one is strong, She doesn't realize her men did the same thing to the others! You make it sound like you're some sort of hero trying to fight for others, but in the end is just a child who cries and throws a tantrum when she couldn't get what she wanted, so she forcefully took it! Hurting others in the process and hurting the ones she was supposed to fight for."

Thorn: "For a Knight in a frilly dress with an armband and her cause... that's a load of bullshit to me, as if you had other ulterior motives aside from 'fighting for the Infected', say kid... ever heard of corrupt governments?"

"Instead of clinging onto the 'True Ideal' of protecting the infected from the oppressive nature of others towards the Infected, with a high chance gaining more support from other people who want to join your cause for that true noble idea or even assist you into improving the conditions of the Infected, you instead slaughter those who opposed your ideals and cause, regardless if they were innocent or want nothing to do with it"

"Corrupt governments are the same, they act like they're doing something to help out the people and those in need, only for them to focus on themselves and ignore the others who are suffering for their actions, people are sent out to wars to fight for 'peace, freedom and stability' only to die, and worsen the conditions of those affected by the war, all for the greed and 'ulterior motives' of the ones who started the war in the first place."

"Some people who were affected by these similar outcomes or idea in general were then driven by revenge, anger and rage clouds their judgement, creating a cause to avenge those who were killed, lost or affected by the war and to protect others from it, to fight back against those who started the war, only to slowly but surely become extreme, taking things out of hand, causing those under them to suffer themselves"

"Sound similar? Fighting for the Infected, only to kill innocent people? and those innocent people want revenge for what you have done, only for them to take it out on the Infected, repeating the process, causing more death and destruction."


"A Cycle of Death"


This statement itself made some Reunion members waver in their faith in their cause, realizing what Thorn had just said to them, some veterans of Reunion finally realized the huge difference between the old cause Reunion had, and the changes that finally brought them here, the countless atrocities and deaths they had caused won't improve the situation of the Infected, but worsen it, this wasn't the cause they were fighting for.

Talulah on the other hand, was furious, she prepares her arts to end the man in front of her.

Thorn on the other hand looks back at Rhodes Island and Bosco.

Thorn: "Go, While I hold her off..."

Amiya was in tears was about to say something to Thorn.

Thorn: "I will promise you this, I will come back, but never will I ever leave a man behind"
