He had an excellent reputation from the people who surrounded him; he had his sly yet charming smile and humor. It would have been easy for him to get into any one of the Wings with his skills and personality.

You have been through so much. Today arrived before you could even realize it, as you have endured and overcome numerous trials.

To take two children into the City from the Outskirts required an extremely complicated procedure, but no one complained.

The cadaver demonstrated the horrendous, unbearable situation she went through.

Did Michelle receive what she wanted? I don’t know. Did she accomplish her purpose by trampling on us, and Carmen? I’ll never know.

Though amazing he once was, there is no doubt he died in despair and regret, cursing his choice.

The sound of the waves were so far away, and there was no time left to stay. I lost the last man who stood by me. It was a tragedy, but I didn’t hide it.

The two children didn’t look like siblings, but they depended on each other even more so than siblings by blood do. The girl was easily frightened and wouldn’t open up very much to us. However, the boy started to show interest in our experiment. I saw it in his eyes.

She wasn’t able to say anything to my browbeating. Carmen broke the silence instead.

Michelle, let me cut to the chase; we are performing experiments that go directly against the Head’s ideals. If your beloved parents, or your precious friends try to coax you, are you confident that you’d be able to refuse them?

The silence was the signal to start my task for everyone. We lost something in us, every single day. We used inhumane methods to extract information from the woman we captured from the Head. We passed out plans to AIs that hadn’t even been named yet.

The cadaver demonstrated the horrendous, unbearable situation she went through.

The whole situation was beyond what she could handle by herself, but she gave it everything she had to protect us.,

I asked how she was able to recruit such an elite. Carmen answered nonchalantly, as if I had asked about something trivial. 'I’m a master at blowing people’s minds.' 'Don’t you know that by now?'

The sentinel who guards the gates of hell must always be in despair. Such despair that they cannot even fall into the depths of hell.

I haven't been outside in ages. It looks like things haven't changed much. It's the same glorious, mundane scenery; just like a graveyard.

I vaguely remembered Carmen had told me about him a few days prior. That one of the elites would stop by to apply to our company. 'He’s a bit pompous, so don’t believe everything he says,' she said to me.

… It is time to manage the Abnormalities. You’ll make it. I know you will. Come now. This will be our final day at work as the manager.

We have been buried here for quite a long time, haven't we?

We will make humans live as humans. All that's left for us after that is to simply watch.

She was mortally wounded by Kali, but she was our only way out.

Agony and rage mixed, blending together in the mist. One couldn’t determine if the smoke was responsible for the madness, or if the cries of agony spewed forth the smoke.

Elijah was impatient, and her impatience caused many common mistakes.

I tried to persuade people. I told them we have to proceed with the experiment in order to save Carmen and the others. Everyone fell silent when I asked for volunteers.

Lisa’s vicious mumbling likely had no weight to it, but I knew one thing. I knew Carmen’s answer was sincere. Ever since that day, her wound quietly deepened.

The sound of the waves were so far away, and there was no time left to stay. I lost the last man who stood by me. It was a tragedy, but I didn’t hide it.

Gabriel was more rational than anyone else. He was unmoved, even after hearing about what happened to Elijah. Some said he lacked empathy. But nobody realized that his emotions were festering on the inside.

Seeing the dead bodies of his coworkers strewn about in front of him… Not even having the single comfort of knowing that it wasn’t his fault. Unable to find any peace for his final rest…

Carmen personally asked her to bring the children here.

It was obvious what mistakes impatience could cause, so we needed to take our time. The situation wasn’t bright enough for me to remember everyone’s name or personally respond to meaningless gestures.

Cogito emaciates the boundary of a human. And repeated experiments will leave an indelible mark.

It was only after a very long time that I realized giving praise once in a while may have been a good idea.

She was mortally wounded by Kali, but she was our only way out.

But he chose us, not the Wings.

She once went on a long, winding filibuster of why she needed to finish the experiment, but I don’t remember the details. Whenever she was told that she wasn’t ready yet, I could see the strong desire in her eyes. It was a craving, a bizarre obsession.

Where did we want to go while holding a child’s hand?

As you can see, we've become just like the other wings, committing atrocities just like them.

It ached, no, it wounded the heart of the man who had always been with me.

He had already seen and experienced so much of this world’s despair and misfortune; his eyes no longer looked like those of a child. 'Please allow me to participate in the experiment,' he said. Carmen spent many nights thinking about his earnest request.

To bring back those who had forsaken the embrace of the earth. To hide and lock away the Seed of secret. I was the only one who remained. I wanted to be forgotten like a mirage.

We began our research on Cogito in earnest. The most urgent issue that prevailed at the time was the correct dosage.

The energy you've produced those past fifty days is for today. This is the moment we shine upon the world.

I am sorry to make you go through this one last time, but you are within arm's reach of the end.

We couldn’t save her. It was the result that I had been expecting since the very start.

I asked how she was able to recruit such an elite. Carmen answered nonchalantly, as if I had asked about something trivial. 'I’m a master at blowing people’s minds.' 'Don’t you know that by now?'

There is no such thing as a noble sacrifice. The end is always miserable, no matter how justifiable a cause it may be for.

It's time for us to step down from the stage. Don't worry, we will not be forgotten, even if we scatter and fade away into the light.

We were on such a delightful upturn back then, it’s almost cruel to bring those memories back up. We were flying towards a limitless world that never seemed to end.
