You just don't understand... None of you do...
I was never against you personally, Fubuki. It's nothing against any of you personally...
But you're all in my way. I can tell it. You're against me. Against what I'm doing.
... But I have to know. I need to know. I never wanted to get any of you involved like this. This is my quest. My journey. My story.
You see... after Phoenix beat me. I saw something. ... No, wait. I didn't really see it until that night.
With the monkey. That monkey bastard who dragged me into the depths of hell. And made me fight the dog that guarded its gates.
... That night... something came to me. Something I needed to know.
How powerful I can really be. How much power a man can wield. Wield using the darkness willingly. Before they become a monster.
I need to know where that line is. I need to see it. I need to see how strong I can be. I've surpassed respect. I've surpassed Cyber End.
The power... it's almost like a drug, you see. It's a tastefrent thing.
But it's incredible. It's exhilarating. I... feel... sort of free for once. This power. It really is incredible.
But I can see it in his eyes he doesn't approve.
Poor Shou, the world isn't black and white. Things... happen to people.
This happened to me. I can tell, you want to stop it.
If you do, little brother, I shall treat you like an enemy. You are standing in my way. In the way of my goal.
I need to know one thing. That's all. How much darkness can be absorbed into the heart of men...
Before they become irredeemable monsters?
