I've been locked up for over a hundred days... I don't know how I can repay you.
I want to know everything you've been through after you're here.
I... I can't do that. My memories... it's all blank...
I only remember some fragments... golden liquid... scalpel...
(Notices that everyone is wrapped with bloodsoaked bandages) ...I know you're hurt, but please try to recall...
He said he can't remember...
Mr. Watanabe!
Don't get the wrong idea. I was the one who saved them.
And I thank you on behalf of the Forsaken.
Now, we have to take them somewhere safe.
You can take the rest, but this man stays with me.
They're barely humans at this point, except for this man, who might be able to recall what happened to them.
He's my man. I'm not handing him to the Purifying Force.
...Watanabe, stop being so stubborn.
Let me repeat—I'm not handing my man to the Purifying Force.
Leave him, or leave everyone. Your choice.
You have to understand. I'm doing this for something greater than either of us...
Objectives... missions... They don't mean anything, don't you get it?
You're blinded by your sentiment. That's why you're where you are these days.
(Helps the delirious, mumbling human up) Seems like a fight between us is inevitable.
(Notches an arrow) Words are not that mighty, after all...
Let's get this over with.
