“When we found him, he was broken. Overcome by grief and paranoia, his own reflection condemning him for his actions. The 4 of us, we saw the monster he had become, and the part of himself that was still trying to reject it. Contique...he had been overcome with a future that was not meant to be. He had let it consume him, festering like an open wound, growing sick. Obsession worsened into greed, and with greed came paranoia. And through it all, the man he once was shunned himself, and so he shunned the people, unable to face them even up unto his final moment. He never looked us in the eye, none of us, none of us except for Oak.”
