| “ | I thought EMMA really would guide humanity to a better world. But once Sophia changed my mind, that was when I noticed something... The eyes of everyone "saved" by EMMA... They just looked cold and dead. But you all, Sophia included... Your eyes were so brimming with hope that it opened my own. Sophia learned about the human heart by joining you on your journey. You shared good times and bad, you were there for each other when you needed it... and you learned to understand each other. I don't know if I'll ever be able to do that kind of thing... But I want to speak with other people about the heart when learning this time—try and really do it right. I just needed to make sure I apologized to Sophia and you all properly before I depart. I truly am so, so sorry for putting you all through so much pain. | „ |
