[Shadow's hideout - enter Clyde Arrowny, exhausted and mildly wounded from his encounter with Nightveil, he slowly approaches his bed before lying on his back, taking a heavy breath followed by a sigh of relief]
Clyde Arrowny: [aside] Many years have passed and still I have achieved nothing, only have I experienced and failure time and time again. Even with this strength, I am nothing.

Shadow #2: Your emotions cause you to hesitate...
Shadow #1: You must forget the past...
Shadow #3: Forget... not forgive...
Clyde Arrowny: Who was she? It is as if she knew my every move before it was made, precise, elegant, swift and deadly.
Shadow #1: A pawn of The Constructor...
Clyde Arrowny: [scoffs] And here I was beginning to think there were no hard feelings. Sure took him long enough to decide he wanted my head, join the club pal, you and all the others.
Shadow #2: Avoid them or you will meet certain death...
Shadow #3: Your end...
Clyde Arrowny: [aside] Clyde, you're slowing me down here, we can't keep getting caught up in things that don't concern us, Alessandra is safe, she is in good hands. Stay dead, it'll make it easier for both of us, I promise...
[to shadows] Another time, I got what I came for, this was not on the list. Every moment wasted is less time to avenge her. I must keep moving forward.
Shadow #1: Or backwards...
