Lugos stands at the top of the hole after watching (R/N) drop down.

Lugos: They're gone. You can come out now.

From behind a large rock near the edge of the circular formation, a black haired woman emerges.

Woman: This is it. The fate of the world rests on their hands.

Lugos: Yes, and thanks to you (R/N) is well equipped.

Woman: Not exactly. He isn't at full strength. I-I failed you.

She drops to her knees and starts to break down.

Lugos: I asked you to make sure he was ready for this. You succeeded.

He kneels down to her.

Lugos: You did all that I asked you to do.

Woman: What does it matter anyways? It still doesn't make up for my sins. For what I've done.

Lugos: Why do you continue to persist with this? You've atoned. Stop beating yourself up over all of this 'sin' nonsense. Even (R/N) believes that your need for gratification is pointless. Hell, he wears your old cloak around his waist as a reminder of you. You have made an impact on him.

He wipes the tears from her eyes.

Lugos: Child, with out you, the world would already be doomed. You gave humanity a fighting chance.

Woman: It still feels like I didn't do enough.

Lugos sighs and looks over at the hole.

Lugos: The gateway is still open. If you wish, you can join him in his quest.

She stands up.

Woman: Then I will. This shall be my final act of redemption.

The woman walks over to the hole.

Woman: Lugos... thank you...

Lugos: For what?

Woman: For everything.

She leans over and allows herself to tip off the side of the edge.

Lugos: (Under his breath) You're welcome Ultear...
