Part 41: Revelations

Part 41 - Revelations

I wasn't always so capable, but I've grown.
Nothing hides from me for long.



Everyone voted for "Good conversation".

Did you have a good conversation?

Another cage to break, another wall to smash...
It's not useful to dwell on the past.
You don't need to say anything.
We need to move on.

In the voice acting, EMBER-2 sounds very casual and cheerful during this entire conversation. Like she's talking about what happened at the party last Friday.

I'm ready to prove my theory.
One last test is all I need.
Then I'll know for sure.
Do you believe me?
