[ Anyway, a rift appears around both Dion and Nodd.
Welcome to the Hideaway.
You don't mean to eavesdrop, certainly not on a private conversation between the Phoenix and his brother, but you know they consider you down and out for the count since Ifrit had taken Bahamut's light from you, and you cannot allow that to stand. There is only one thing left in this world that you desire, and it's being kept at Origin.
There is nothing left for you here. Not your family, not your country. You have betrayed them both, and where Phoenix raises his concerns, you see only a beautiful promise.
Your life is secondary to your atonement, and if you meet your end in the battle to come, then you cannot imagine a more fitting end to your story. ]
[ the embarrassment elicits a small smile out of him ]
It is easier to sacrifices oneself than it is to sacrifice others. [ ... ] Regardless, I cannot agree with your conclusion. Individuals with power and beholden to use that power for the sake of the greater good.

I would have never agreed to that plan of yours. I'd deny you the satisfaction, but you'd be alive.

You would sacrifice yourself to save two children, but leave an entire world to die for one man?

Any good I did was to help that kid.
