Wait...
No... This can't be... Father—Father Snow...?
Bi...
Father is a... mechanoid...?
He doesn't seem to... Want to attack the nun?
...What's that on his arm?
On the battered mechanic hand of the Corrupted hangs a human arm, which had hooked onto the metal of his clothing when it was torn off.
In the hand of the arm, is a combat knife.
...That's Bruce's... knife.
...We must ensure the civilians' safety before our own, save as many lives as possible. If there really are survivors in the church waiting for help...
Father Snow once said that no matter their beliefs, as long as they need help, we will help... I was abandoned in the snow as a child and was raised by the father.
Dammit... You...
I have sinned... For which I will atone for... And now... I must sin once more...
To bring down judgment—
Ugh... Ahh...!!
...
On this plain of pure white, the snow covers all in time.
That brave soldier... I'm sorry...
It's not your fault. You were... very brave. You don't need to apologize.
...Don't mourn the dead with sorrow.
Let them become your power to carry on.
That is... what that brave soldier, Bruce, once said.
And also stuff like... "I'm not going to die, I'm going so that fewer people die."
Always drowning me in these... lies... That idiot... You didn't have to go and...
...Dammit. Now it's my turn to take action, huh?
Come on, you still have people waiting for your guidance, and I... still have to finish our mission.
...Everyone's waiting.
I can't always let that brave soldier be ahead of me...
