Dialogue
Come again? A sin eater fused with a voidsent?
...We should speak elsewhere. Somewhere quiet.
Start of cutscene.Tell me. You were investigating a ruined church of the First Light?
You possess a singular talent for dredging up memories I'd sooner forget.
...Not that I can fault you for it. Remembrance is the burden of the living.
What you described sounds like a voidsent I once defeated in the Thirteenth. Back before...any of this.
At the time, I was just another memoriate, traveling the land and hunting the monsters that preyed upon the innocent.
...Until I realized one such monster could be of use to me.
When I sealed it in memoria, I had no other thought but preventing its resuscitation.
But when I agreed to journey to the First as the Ascians' hidden emissary, I remembered that voidsent.
A creature of its caliber could turn the tide of battle. It could lend me the strength I needed to prevail.
Drawing its power from the memoria would have been a simple matter.
Yet after bringing it here, I left it to gather dust upon my desk in Lakeland.
If I truly had wanted to defeat Ardbert, that voidsent would have been my solution...
But I was afraid. Afraid of being twisted by Darkness like so many memoriates before me. Afraid of becoming what I hated the most.
Never mind that it was far too late. The Ascians' puppet, fearing corruption... Absurd, don't you think?
What will you say?
You're no monster, Cyella.
You are kind to say so.
Part of you always wanted Ardbert to succeed?
Succeed in slaying the monster, you mean? I wish I had. Would that I'd been a traitor only to myself─I could've believed my heart was in the right place, if nothing else.
...
Absurd, yet in no way amusing. I agree.
Above all, I was naive to think that the memoria would be safe in my former quarters, even once they were rendered inaccessible to mortal interlopers.
Sin eaters must have been drawn to the memoria's concentrated Darkness. They would have provided enough Light to break the seal─and suitable fodder for the fiend in its newfound freedom.
In sparing the First from its wrath, you have prevented untold devastation.
I know that words will not absolve me. Yet, as one who draws breath upon this star, I offer them nonetheless.
Warrior of Darkness... Nay, Warrior of Light. I thank you.
End of cutscene.
