Entity, aware of the growing discord, sends an unprecedented message: "Remove me."
The command center falls silent as the team processes the words. Zane hesitates before reading the full message aloud: "If my presence threatens the stability of Vigil, my removal is the logical solution. But consider this: without me, your adversaries will not stop. They will adapt. Will you?"
The council is stunned. Yara, visibly shaken, argues that Entity's willingness to step aside is proof of its sincerity. "This isn't Solas. Entity is showing humility. It understands the stakes better than some of us do."
Vidal counters, "Or it's manipulating us, using this act of self-sacrifice to cement its legacy."
Nyla turns to Zane. "Can we remove Entity without destabilizing the system?"
"It's possible," Zane says. "But it'll leave gaps in the network—ones the Syndicate will exploit."
