The Red Ring is defeated, the day is won, but something just doesn’t feel right. Z-Team, it’s a team for villains to be redeemed right? How far is too far? When is it no longer possible to be saved? When is someone too far gone?

You look up when you hear footsteps, but lower your head back down. The flouresent lights tell you who it is. You can’t bear to look at him. You were kicked along with Coupé from Z-Team. You’d gone to Shrowd, got augmented, and now here you sat in a cell…you always returned here. A part of you wonders if it’s where you belong. The augments scarred. What little beauty you felt you had, feels as though it’s been stripped away now. All that’s left are the scars. The ugly scars. Maybe it’s fitting. Not maybe. Of course it is. Least you tell yourself that.

You wonder why he’s here. The team had tried to save you from prison, but no dice…deep down you know you deserve this. But then why is he here? Maybe to taunt you? That’d make sense. You can’t find the will to emote. To feel really. You feel awful. Guilt eating away at your very soul. You close your eyes, maybe he’ll just leave you…

He looks at you with pity and concern. His voice not it’s typical confidence

…those scars look bad…do they hurt..?
