Seeking redemption was my entire goal before I was brought to this place. But I've lost my path recently... I ought to set myself in the right direction again.

Since I've committed numerous atrocities in my past, it's only fair that I start, first, by revealing them all here and now. After that... I don't know what I'll do, but I'll have to figure out something.

1. I used to frequently beat up and bully the person who became my best friend.
2. I ~~have~~ ~~had~~ ~~have~~ had wrongful feelings toward my best friend's beloved.
3. I'm constantly jealous of my best friend, to the point where I often loathe him.
4. I tried to stab my best friend in the back.
5. I stole some crystals.
6. I threatened to kill a little girl.
7. I betrayed all of my friends by fighting against them.
8. I aided in the kidnapping of my best friend's beloved.
9. I purposefully skipped my best friend's wedding.
10. I still sometimes feel a deeply overwhelming moral conflict.
11. In the middle of an endless war, I knocked out and kidnapped several of my allies.
12. I failed the dragoons, my kingdom, and my family name in every way possible.
13. I once dressed like this: Open attached image.

I can surely keep going, but this may be enough of a start. Forgive me. I truly regret all that I've done.

Extremely hard to kill. I don't look forward to ever facing them again, but I'm sure it's inevitable, someday.

I'm sure it is, too.
They'll be back.
It's not a matter of if, it's when.

At least this time we can be somewhat better prepared.

But, how?
No one's planning anything or coming up with a battle plan.
At least the last time, we had some warning.
This time, they'll probably just.
Show up.
And then we're fucked.

The Guard has discussed it, but you're right that we should do more. Of course, if the attack is as sudden as last time... there really isn't much we can do. At least we know how to fight them this time, we're aware of their weaknesses. That may help.

Glad to hear someone's taking it seriously.
We know what their weaknesses were then.
They've probably figured out a way to change by now.

That's all too true. The Null are extremely adaptable and intelligent, from what we've seen of them. Which doesn't bode well... we might spend all of this time preparing and have it be all in vain. Still, it's better we do something than just await the inevitable.

Exactly.
We know what they were capable of.
And they know what we're capable of.
They're probably already taking us into the equation.

Which means the next encounter has the potential to be particularly devastating. We must put up an even harder fight than many of us might realize.

Most likely.
And next time, we'll have even less warning than we did the last time.

Unfortunately, I suspect you're right. It's all too likely to happen like that. We can't trust anything when it comes to the Null.

Oh, we can trust in one thing when it comes to the Null.
And that it's they're planning for what comes next.
We need to do the same.

We do, and it's essential that we continue to take this matter seriously. We can't afford to fail.
