Sorry about my recent volatility. It's… it’s been rough, grappling with what we found from those files in the Artifice. I just... I don't really know what to say. Heart Diamonds, clandestine experiments, Project SH... The Humans at the center of things, the various governmental and criminal organizations... The portrait painted by the messages left behind in that terminal, it... it was deeply, horribly ugly. Acts of pure evil committed by those with far too much power and far too little morality in service of unclear goals. Heh, we really are one and the same.
It used to be called something else, you know. Aschimos, I mean. Back in their era, it had another name. A Human name. Vanished with them, save for whispers on the tongues of scholars and the scant records that survived past their fall. What we've learned... it's led me sympathize with Xerneas, the choice made by Life to rescind its gift. The sins of the few should not reflect upon the many...
But what marvelously vile sins they are.
