the scene is indescribable. countless buildings have been leveled, and part of the road has collapsed.

man, when it rains, it pours.

you just don't know when to quit, do you?

get away from her!

just shut the hell up and search!

this is so messed up. all of it. but i'm back now, [name]. i'm back.

it all started five years ago.

i couldn't believe my luck.

wish i could help, but never been motion sick. sorry.

i didn't join to be an errand boy. i joined up so i could be a hero.

you take one. i'll take the other.

home sweet home, right? tell me. how does it feel? i have no home, so i wouldn't know.

i wanted to greet you myself, to welcome you to our humble little town.

look at all this mud. it's never gonna come off.

any friends here you wanna see? maybe a girlfriend?

the taste reminds you of home.

could you keep up?

welcome home! come in! let me get a good look at you!

i can take care of myself.

i'd feel a lot better if i knew you'd found a good girl, one who'd make sure you didn't get into trouble.

you went into my room? you went through my stuff?

you could learn a lot from me.

big day tomorrow. we'll be leaving bright and early. you should get some rest.

it's just one photo. c'mon, where's the harm in that?

i'm not even close to burned out. not with all the training i've had.

we still have a long way to go.

try not to breathe it in if you can.

you said you wanted to be a hero.

i owe you one.

help me to understand this shit. tell me something that'll really make my blood boil.

why do i suddenly have a bad feeling about this?

ever since i was a child, i knew... i knew that i was different. that i was special. but not like this. not like this.

run away. you have to leave. you have to live.

you sick son of a bitch!

you promised you'd save me.

that's the last thing i remember. the rest is a blank.

not to sound like a broken record, but... it's really bothering me.

that bed's mine.

sorry. did i wake you?

there's just something i need to ask you. so can we talk?

can't believe i'm having this conversation with you... but here we are.

i thought we could just pick up where we left off, like nothing had changed, but i guess i was wrong.

less security than i thought.

guess things have changed.

you always did prefer to march to the beat of your own drum.

what we're doing's for the greater good.

any good restaurants? sights to see?

we hide in plain sight. get in, get close, get answers.

i'm so pumped for this!

i'd say we look the part.

i'm having second thoughts.

it's not like i had a choice! nothing else fit!

if you wanna drink with us, you're gonna have to lose the helmet.

are we fighting or what?

don't go dying on me. i demand another dance.

just play along.

i was kinda hoping we could talk business.

well, you won't go far with that attitude.

just shut up and play.

i'm too young to die!

you're way better at the whole "putting yourself in harm's way" thing.

i'm not sure that's something to celebrate.

excuse me? what's that supposed to mean?

the room is unlocked.

it's not me you should be worried about?

i never hated you, you know.

i'll wait out here. but make it quick.

knowing that the people we love aren't really gone? it doesn't make it any easier to let them go.

we've all experienced pain. we all have our regrets.

true strength comes from our ability to forgive, to forge ahead in the hope of making things right.

are you finished?

oh, what fun you had. tell me, though. was it worth it?

is what you're feeling even real?

your friend died in your arms and you didn't shed a tear.

i'll kill you.

fill your hollow heart with rage. let it engulf you. consume you.

your day of reckoning is here.

all i want is one thing: to keep the others safe.

your tears are empty.

you're just a puppet.

screw you!

let's finish this.

how could you turn your back on everything we stand for?

you have to promise not to look up.

take care.
