........You really are a good person.
It may not feel like it now, but you're still a good person....
We're all good people.... right?
Nothing we do has caused more devastation.....right?
.......
Right....?
......
I'm......not a bad person.
This world......this horrible world.....Is the only way I can describe it....
Why are we saving it so much when we don't even know who we're saving?
We're saving murderers, criminals, and frauds....all for the sake of our own image.
It's useless. All of it is.....
.........
But how did.....- TDL.....change from his perspective? To him, at first, Alan was the problem. Then it was the world.
He wished to fix it. And yet....we took his life. For what?
For what reason? Was it because we were scared? Were we too blind to see that maybe what Dark wanted....was right?
We're we wrong?
..........
Have we......always been wrong?
No. No- what we did was always the right thing to do.
If we let Dark continue his reign, innocent lives would have been jeopardized and caught in his web.
We did what was better for everyone.
.......
Then......
Why do I feel so guilty?
I feel like......I'm still lying to myself. Forcing myself to swim through the rapid current.
But I feel myself getting dragged.
I'm losing my strength, I'm losing the ability to keep my head above the water.
All because......of Victim's death.
Who can we blame but ourselves?
We didn't kill him....rather, watched him get killed.
He was bound to die, and we all wished that wasn't true. But in the end, he perished.
We wished it wasn't true.
We denied that he was gone for good.
And our denial led to our departure...
Isolated, angry, lost, and broken-hearted.......we left one by one.
Do I feel remorse......?
Do I......feel confined to the sins I've made....?
..........
I feel.......like I'm dying myself.
In truth, nothing could've prepared us for what happened.
Nothing.
Not even the gods could warn us this time. It was pure luck.
A luck that we couldn't accept.

[A villager rushed into the room, his expression shocked.]
Villager: Sir......your tracker.....
[His chair turned around to face the villager, his eyes widened in shock as he dropped his netherwarts. Who could be trying to find him?]
