Jinhsi: “Scar, you are now under arrest for committing multiple felonies in Huanglong. Do you have anything to say?”

Scar: “What do I want to say, huh? While I’d love to tell you another story… I guess that’s not what you want to hear. Let’s cut to the chase, ‘Madam Magistrate’. I’m getting bored already.”

Jinhsi: “Very well. You will answer only our questions from now on.”

Scar: “Sure, why not. What do you want to know?”

Rover: “Why did you kidnap Jué?”

Scar: “A Sentinel such as Jué can predict and ‘correct’ future events. It gets in our way to achieving our sublime vision. We merely wanted to topple the set future built on lies, and take control of our own destiny.”

Rover: “Why are you obsessed with reviving the Threnodian?”

Scar: “The Threnodians… They hold the key to our ideal. Together they will bring us the promised ‘True Lament’, and we will embrace the new world that is bound to come.”

Rover: “What on earth is the Lament?”

Scar: “What is the Lament? Disaster? Curse? Some kind of punishment? Ha! They see only the surface… The Lament brings death, destruction, and countless Reverberations. Reverberations that will be reflected, overlapped, and interwoven during the Lament… They will be our salvation, the only path to a new lifeform and a new civilization.”

Rover: “Why were you following me?”

Scar: “Our goal has always been the same… We want you. Want you to join us.”

Rover: “Why me?”

Scar: “Forces battle over you and causing all this strife, and you remain unaware of your own worth… Are you really that naive, or are you just dense? But whatever. Our interest in you isn’t affected by such trivial matters.”

Rover: “And if I say no?”

Scar: “Too bad. We will then be forced to kill you, by any means necessary… But I’m sure you’ll willingly come to us… When the time arrives.”

Rover: “I’m done with him.”
