It won't be long before the two are killed. This entire plan backfired! And the sad truth is, I was a part of it. It's my fault! And now, my one best friend left will pay the price! It's my fault, and I cannot do anything!

(Why did it have to end up like this!?)

I attempt to get up, but collapse, completely exhausted.

Kin!

I look to see my star pendant lying on the ground.

Next to that concoction said to awaken harmones at the cost of one's life.

I pick up both, and look at the concoction.

A chance to awaken my harmone. But...is it worth it? What if I'm not strong enough?

You cannot find peace while avoiding life.

(...That's right...No matter how much I wish to deny it, I blindly walked down one path without considering the consequences. I avoided responsibility. For a time, Oren was a lot like me. But now, he put his own life on the line to teach me this lesson.)

(Now I must return the favor.)

Without any more hesitation, I drink all of the concoction.

"URK!!!!!"

(Breathe...I...can't breathe!!!!)

I grasp my throat and struggle, choking and gagging. This...agonizing pain.

(Is this...how I am going to die? Is this the end of Hisashi Turbulent?)

...

(Hisashi Turbulent.)

(Who is Hisashi Turbulent?)

(Who am I? What have I been doing all this time? Why is it that all I can do is watch people suffer, when I say I will save them?)

I have flashbacks of my time spent as Selot.

(I see. Now I know. I claim to be somewhat better than I already am. I saw myself…as some ideal role model that would guide everyone to a better future. I believed my actions could save New Vegas and many other towns and cities. But…how can I save everyone, when I cannot even save a friend?)

More flashbacks of me as Selot flood my head.

(Who am I really? I’ve been two people this whole time; one who teaches, and one who kills. I do not know how to save the world. I only knew how to follow orders. But, I do know this; if I can save but one person, then my life has meaning in the end. A role model shouldn’t hide behind a mask.)

More flashbacks. I see Oren, Mai, and my students. All smiling at me. Smiling for me. Flashbacks of what few good memories I have of Sueka and Oren. The star pendant.

(With what little strength I have left, I will use my wind to guide those precious to me down the correct path. I am a fighter! I am a teacher! I am a role model! I am someone who only wants to protects those he loves! This...)

(THIS IS WHO I AM!!!)
