[Kain sounds exhausted when he speaks. He's still got some recovering to do, clearly. He ended up in a hell of a shape after being defeated by his double, and now he’s only just coming to enough to really think about what that battle had meant… Failure. He had failed to defeat his darker self, the one thing he’d devoted his life to achieving…]

[He's seriously wondering again if Hadriel is some sort of eternal punishment.]

So… it sounds as if the doubles are gone entirely? A shame. I for one wouldn't mind if mine returned. He owes me a rematch.

[No, it's probably not a good idea to even wish for such a thing, but he doesn't care. He needs this to happen, one way or another. He has so much to prove.]

Did anyone manage to defeat their other selves? If so… how did you manage it?

Because she would have all of my skill and power, but be actively malicious.

[Which isn't to say that she's especially nice. She's just got self-restraint.]

I do not harm others outside of self-defense, work, or consenting fights. A more evil version of myself would likely not bother with such standards.

Sounds like mine. [Just as skilled and strong... an even match for him, and maybe even stronger in some way, because he wasn't held back by any sort of morals.]

At least these evil doubles were predictible. That's the one thing they can be counted on for... acting for their own selfish, malicious interests. Though it also makes them very dangerous to face.

They could be counted on to be scoundrels, yes. I think I would have enjoyed the fight if I could have fought her away from everyone else, but in an enclosed community such as this...alas. It's simply not possible.

[Although now she is curious.]

Have you trained for very long?

I guess that's the problem. I want mine to return so I can fight him, but I don't want to put anyone else in danger...

[He knows what he's capable of, after all, what he'd done back home. He's just lucky nothing like that had happened here.]

A long time. I've trained as a dragoon for my whole life, though it's only within the past few months I've been specifically training to defeat my darker self.
