[He hesitates before huffing softly. He might as well. He already bothered the other enough to come over here.]
It started on the beach where we all first found the robot. I was looking for fossils. And then the ocean changed, and it started having huge waves. It picked me up off the beach and dragged me into the water, and I started to drown.
There were shapes in the water, and it started to turn red. I realized they were the bodies of everyone I killed, and they clumped together and turned into giant versions of Kana and Machi. Kana was telling me how I was a terrible brother which... I know I was. But Machi... she was going on about how the person who should have gotten shot in the head was me, that I was stupid for messing up my battle.
And then I saw my mother - the one who gave birth to me, not the one who adopted me. She said that I was... ugh, what was it? ... That I was a terrible soldier. That she wouldn't have died for me like she did for my sis - adopted sister, who she wasn't even related to. And then they all went away, and I was alone in the dark, struggling to breathe...
I was able to wake up then, but... it still felt like I was being choked, and I threw up.
