As I kept fighting and fighting, after a while... I heard a whisper in my mind. A sly, yet cynical voice.
"Go ahead, Aiden."
It didn't come from my head, there was no notification from AVRES. It came out of nowhere. Just like always.
"You like it, don't you?"
I swallowed, held my breath, and saw something approaching me, a... rocket.
The barriers I always kept around me shattered. I avoided serious damage and moved on to the next enemy.
I ignored the whisper in my mind, I didn't take it seriously. But... he continued.
"Come on... Admit it. I know... You're secretly enjoying it. You're only fooling yourself. You think you feel sorry for those you kill and those you see die, but you're just faking the feeling. To act like a human being. All you have inside you is an intense emptiness, isn't it? And the feeling that fills that emptiness, the one you're trying to block... Look how you're smiling."
