... Sylvain was possessed by shadows. He admitted to his crime to a few people after that trial. [ is what he'll say first. he shakes his head ] I can't pretend to know how Hua Cheng heard about it, or why he decide to act of his own volition. Maybe he wanted revenge just as much as he wanted to secure his hostage.
[ there's a pause ]
Either way-- he was fine framing someone else for it. He can talk about it being flimsy as much as he wants. If some of the things we'd found had been a little later in trial, who knows how that could've gone?
... It's hard to reconcile, when the people you care about hurt one another... It's something I've had to face again and again here, but... it's a little different this time.
... I don't know about that for sure. [ final fantasy 7 varies on revenge stories. he tilts his head ] But in this case ... I don't know what the point of taking revenge is against someone who didn't want to do it in the first place.

Revenge isn't ever worth it, is it...?

... Say, is... is it true that this should be the last time? That there might not be any more murders next week?

I wouldn't get my hopes up, but I wouldn't write it off, either.
