[another drink. he's going to need it for this talk as well.]
I told you my duty was to protect history, didn't I? To ensure things happen as they should. There was a boy I raised who was meant to die at a relatively young age, but due to our presence, it seemed as if it would not come to pass. It... became my duty to kill him, to ensure that he would not alter history by continuing to live.
[his eyes are focused down on the glass.]
I... was unable to follow through. The unit I was leading nearly died for it, but in the end... we gave him a different life. A new name. Let history record the death of his original self.
If we were able to find a way to change the course of time, there has to be a way to change the current path of this contest, as well. To stop anyone else from having to suffer for it.
