25. Chapter 25

Message #25.

To: Samus Aran.

From: Ridley.

Subject: Desperation.

Come on Samus, we both know you're obsessed with me. The chozo do not give into the emotions of fear and revenge which you are using s the only drive you have to hunt me down.

The truth is as I have stated before, you are afraid: afraid of peace, afraid of yourself, and afraid of me.

No matter if you kill me and all of my people you will never be satisfied. But that will not happy bounty hunter. If you are unwilling to see the truth, then I will have to kill you. But I urge you to reconsider.

You can still walk away, you can still take the peaceful path of the chozo. Please think about it.

Ridley: A willing friend through these hard times who hasn't given up yet.
