Michael

Finally, a breather from my duty. At least Elise is safe... she's fine... that's the least I can give her.

Don't you want to separate the two to get your love back? Isn't the reason why you came here just because you wanted to save her? Have you forgotten?

Jason...

Oh, Michael... it seems you need help.

My other...

Feeding on the dead to conserve yourself... are you doing a service for them?! We are strong people - feeding on the dead, are you downgrading us, Michael?

I don't want to eat the Fallen citizens...

We have not tasted proper food in a while, Michael.

We are like this because of an experiment! Unless Xandor continues with it, I'm the only one until I find others!

We will not rest. We will find that paradise one day. You will never be in eternal bliss until you become the strongest in the world. Protecting Elise is just one minor thing... are you sure you want it to be your purpose?

I don't mind... not at all...

Then live with the sadness. Make it whole. You don't think you're doing much. We give you the solution, but you don't accept it. One day, Michael. You will soon understand. You will seek it for yourself. The reason you're different.

Different... I have forgotten all about that incident in the meditation chamber, cramming myself dead with my duty. And here I thought it was insignificant. A possible defect. Yet, I remember when my eyes were both the same colour and its vast difference now.

I will find the reason why... in time to come. It's not my priority. These voices in my head... I will judge what to believe, what not to. But I know... that the hunger increases with every single day.

The hunger for her love.
