Castor, trying to process everything that's happened, finds himself back at Vyz's tomb. Clutching onto the Gaia Crystals, he ruminates on the events that lead to DarkClaw's sacrifice; And what he could have done to prevent it all.

"...No son, it's not your fault. You were carrying out what Aaron told you to do. You wouldn't have known what was in there if that robot didn't take the Crystals."
