[video] Third Remembrance
[Almost as soon as Ryoji awakes and finds himself back to normal, he searches for the nearest terminal and switches it on. It's late, it's unlikely that anyone will hear this but... he needs to get it out somehow.
His face is pale, and for a moment, he almost looks like he's still wearing that terrifying mask. His bloodshot eyes, though, are there, are real eyes, not empty holes of darkness.
It takes him quite a few minutes before he gets up the courage to speak, and he doesn't have that booming voice anymore, either. This voice is just shaky... and sad.]
... Nyx is not a malevolent being. She only exists to give mankind what they all desire, deep in their hearts. She believes any man keeps this want a secret, hidden from the rest of the world and even himself.
B-But it's still there. The want for death.
It seems that this Tower is indestructible, and therefore Nyx could not bring down the Fall... I think she thought that there must be a way to end it, that she just wasn't seeing it. She thought that... maybe if people didn't want to die yet, then she'd make them want it...
[Ryoji lowers his head for a moment, eyes scrunched together as he lets out a pained sigh.]
That's not an excuse. I shouldn't be defending her-we...
I shouldn't be defending myself. I'm truly sorry. If anyone was harmed, please let me know. I'll do my best to make it up to you.

...Nyx is still inside me.
[He doesn't feel like he needs to say much else. Those from his old world will know what he expects, and if they don't, maybe that will give Ryoji more of a chance to convince them. The feed shuts off.]

[Labrys shook her head, quickly putting her thoughts in order.]
So wait, 'when the time comes'...when's that supposed t' be?

[Ryoji winces. That was the last thing he wanted to hear. It's a long time before he responds, and his voice is shaky.]
I don't know... s-soon, if this feeling is right... I...

...What can we do? She's still inside me. I can barely control her. I-If she takes over, and I cause more pain...

You met Yu Narukami yet? We can talk t' him--he can probably manage pullin' off just about anythin', so I betcha he can figure out what t' do.
[video | private]
But if it gets too dangerous, don't hesitate to leave me. Or find some way to destroy me, before I begin taking lives.
[video | private]
Trust me, okay? We're gonna figure out how t' help.
[video | private]
[Ryoji swallows, offers the smallest nod.]
I'll trust you. You'll be able to get a hold of others that will help?
[video | private]
My friends can do anythin', I got all the faith in the world in 'em. And I ain't gonna let ya down either, promise.

...Did I hurt you in any way? I remember seeing you, but...
