"We Knights value individuality. We are a gathering of individuals, and we do not unite. But I want to believe that through the experience we’ve gained from many, many battles, we have formed a bond between us. I want to believe we’ve become comrades with the same will. No, that we have become like a family."

...I'm sorry, Cres. Sorry you have to deal with someone taking over just to screw with you like that. And I'm sorry about your cousin.

Do you know why they went after your unit?

I don't get it... What's the Gatekeeper even trying to do? Just hurt people? It doesn't make sense if they're not even taking the forfeited money for themselves.

[ Leans forward, elbows resting on the table ]

Have you talked to your cousin about it here?

You can't blame yourself for a professional life ruiner showing up to ruin your life, but...he was probably counting on you not listening to your friends. That kind of villain always picks the most confident person they can find; someone who won't question themselves at all.

It should, but that can only be true in a world without any selfishness or evil. Bad guys are never going to check and see how good or kind a target is before they attack.

...This is why I worry about you. You get so confident that everything will go how you think it should just because you want it to.

So you don't think you could be wrong a second time?

Wait — seriously? What about your friends who tried to warn you about him? There's still trustworthy people out there.

... I can't say I don't get it. I had a really hard time after Rose betrayed us in that trust ritual too. The rest of Lily was so close to them, none of us thought — you know. It made me doubt...like, all of the other flocks. If we'd been so wrong before, then what was there to say we couldn't be wrong again?

[ Hesitates, breaking another piece of cookie off to fidget with, slowly creating a little pile of crumbs ]


I really want to say I realized I was wrong, but I dunno if that's true. Maybe I just got used to the feeling. ... But I still don't want you to live with that feeling.

Are you sure you shouldn't talk to your cousin before you decide how to feel? What if he was under a messed up order too?
