Rey felt something rise within his chest every time Adrien spoke, but it was always suppressed by [Dead Calm].
His words struck some kind of chord within him.
'If it wasn't for this entire incident, I wouldn't have killed anyone…'
It was Adrien's fault that he became a killer.
'No. That's not fair. I might have had to do it eventually…'
Rey knew he had to take responsibility for his actions. However, looking at the boy before him, he couldn't help but dread something.
'Will I become like him eventually?'

'No! He went about things the wrong way. His actions were too extreme!'
