The slap stung, it would've mildly noted him, but he was far, far beyond that now. Asper was mildly surprised that Estelle hadn't shot him on the spot, just, ended his existence right there, on the tarmac. He probably deserved it, honestly, after everything that'd been done in his name.

So why did this boy want to save Zhu-Li, he wondered? Her boss? Surprising, she'd never told him about that, not that he could fault her, everyone had their secrets. She was no exception.

How far am I willing to save her?

There was no hesitation,

"As far as you'd be willing to go to save Estelle. Do you need my blood? Then take it all away. Do you need my organs? Then grab the tools that you need. Do you need my very essence of being? Then siphon it out of me. If you can save her, then do whatever you need."

Back when he'd taken Lyko's Scroll away, he'd looked into his contacts, and saw the names of his team, Estelle, Tigris, Lyko and Dalton. He was betting that the boy standing in front of him was the latter.

"But fix everything? You could be some almighty powerful deity, for all I know, but even that wouldn't be able to fix it all. Nobody could. This. Was an irreversible action. And you know it."

"That thing back there? It was me, or, at least, some twisted, splintered part of me. We all have our demons. You're no different, neither is Estelle, neither is Lyko. It's up to you how you keep those demons in you. I can't say that it isn't a part of my mind, my personality, because it is. I'm the one who created that being in my head."

He looked at Dalton with tired eyes.

"But, I can tell you this, if you can save her, then that being? It won't rear it's ugly head ever again."
