this is the stuff after faize supposedly dies during the ending, i'm skipping the boring shit kenny/gaghan/giotto ramble on about because i don't give a fuck. it's also worth noting that edge looks so god tier miserable here i honestly wouldn't be surprised if he went and tried to jump off the nearest bridge after he finished talking to them.

kenny: in the hopes of building a better future for us all, i would like to formally request your cooperation.

edge: we can't do that, sir.

kenny: and might i ask why not?

edge: back when we first landed on lemuris, the people there referred to us as "gods." and naturally, as "gods," they clung to us. they truly believed we would grant them happiness. don't you think that resembles the way the cardianon revered the grigori as their "epiphanies of guidance"?

giotto: hmm... i have to agree. it is indeed similar...

edge: in the end, the cardianon were destroyed... by the very powers granted to them by the grigori they worshiped. ... another planet, one very similar to earth, was the same. provided with technology beyond their understanding, they became intoxicated, and chose to walk the path of their own destruction.

reimi: edge...

edge: in all probability, we'll continue to set foot on many more distant planets. but some of them will still have young civilizations. if we were to extend our hands to them... it would mean their evolution would cease to be their own. it would cease to be rightful. it would be warped evolution. we would be forcing futures on those planets that they would otherwise have no way of choosing on their own. if we continue our space exploration irresponsibly, we ourselves will be no different from the grigori. we'll become like the missing procedure... entities that would cause the entire universe to collapse!

kenny: i do understand your point of view, mr. maverick. however, we are nothing like the grigori. if we guide these peoples toward proper evolution, our universe will more rapidly become hospitable. wouldn't that be the best future for all concerned?

edge: even so, i believe that the walking of one's own path is rightful evolution... not being nudged from an outside source.

kenny: mr. maverick...

edge: taking evolution simply handed to you is easy... but if i were to acknowledge that... i... i would never be able to face faize again... all he wanted was to protect everything... that's why he craved that immense power. he had a just heart, a kind heart. but the power was simply too immense, and distorted even his kindness...

[ edge clenches his fists ]

edge: i... i ceased to believe in him... but even so, in the end, he understood me... he... accepted me... and most of all... he saved me. that is why this is the one thing i cannot allow. i won't let those last moments we spent together go to waste.
