[The feed cuts in and Cube's big blue eyes are all that is seen for a split second before he pulls away, the background coming into view... as well as a scale that is currently resting upon his head. The lighting isn't too bright, but it's clear the room he's in is smaller than most.]

All I remember was... well... I was back in my home world... on a night I thought I... I... could forget.
I'm not quite sure if what I saw really happened... maybe it was a dream?

Cube...there's been other people. On the network, I mean, people have been saying...I don't think you're the only one this happened to. Bad...memories, it seems like...maybe, someone's power again?
...are you really alright? Where are you now?

It was a man who did it but I don't know why. I don't know why anyone would want to see those memories... It's hard to tell if he'd be one who enjoyed torture... but I rather not think of it like that... he seemed lost... so perhaps... it was a mistake...
I'm in the closet... Heh...Now that I can leave I... I don't really wish to...

Hm. Cozy in here, isn't it? [Her tone is light and it's obviously supposed to be a joke, though she isn't smiling.]

[Despite her attempt, the demon's eyes started to tremble with tears. He placed his forehead upon her shoulder, his bangs falling it no her along with his tears]
I couldn't.... I couldn't save them...

I'm sure you did the best you could. You've always done that, ever since I met you...the very best you could, no matter what. Sometimes...there's just nothing more you can do...

But I.... I don't know if it was best... best for her or... best for me... I ... I never thought they'd really do it... and it happened so fast! I failed as their guardian and... [He chokes up even more] And yet people praise me for it... as if it was me who did anything at all. I brought her to a world I brought her there but... If I did so well than why... why couldn't they all still be alive too...? Than she'd never have to suffer...
[After a moment he tries to wipe his own tears away, muttering]
I'm sorry, I didn't... I don't want to worry you.... I'm sorry...
