"You're going to fight, Emerald, until the very last piece of you dies—because you've got a family to go back to! Amehia and your daughter are afraid. They're looking for you. They love you! Why can't you get that through your head? You're not worthless, Emerald. There are so many people who love you. You're not pathetic. You're strong. You have to believe in yourself. Your greatest flaw... is your lack of confidence."
"A-Ahh..."
Emerald saw the faces of his family; of everyone he had ever met—his master included—and felt even more pathetic.
He had been foolish this entire time.
The abyss around him twisted as light from above began to shower his body, slowly turning his soul golden.
"And you're not alone right now... I'm with you."
His Demonic Alter Ego embraced him, their bodies beginning to melt together, both personalities merging.
"W-What are you doing?! Hey! Are you—?! Wait! Don't! You'll die!"
