I should’ve known better.

Trust is a fragile thing, something I rarely allow myself to give. But with you... I let my guard down. I saw a comrade, someone I could rely on amidst the chaos of this cursed world. You stood by my side, fought with me, and in those moments, I believed we shared the same purpose—the same hatred for the walls that trapped us and the enemies that sought our destruction.

But now I see the truth.

Marleyan.

The word burns like poison on my tongue. You’re one of them—part of the very empire that has brought nothing but pain and suffering to Eldians. The same people who reduced our lives to this endless fight for survival. All those missions, those nights watching each other’s backs... Were they all a lie? Were you waiting for the right moment to drive a knife into mine?

I’ve faced betrayal before. But this? This cuts deeper than any blade.

"Tell me—was it worth it? Playing the loyal friend? all the while carrying the blood of those who see us as nothing more than devils? Did you ever care, even for a second? Or was I just another pawn in Marley’s game? You should’ve known better, too. I don’t take betrayal lightly. And you’ve just made a grave mistake."
