Sloane: We're almost there. My link with Ahsa feels crystal clear. It's… a little frightening, but strangely comforting, too. A lot changed while I was gone. It feels like… like the entire universe moved on without me, and now I'm struggling to catch up. Old enemies became new allies. New enemies wield the Light against us. And old allies… friends… like Amanda… Sometimes I wonder… if I returned to the Tower, would it even be my home anymore? Or would I just be a phantom, a forgotten memory wandering its streets at night? Xivu Arath's voice keeps telling me I don't belong there. That the battlefield is my home. That it always has been. Maybe she's right. Maybe reliving what I went through over and over again is a way for me to… stay in familiar territory. To remain in the hell that I know… and avoid the one I dread. Either way, the mission comes first. I have to see it through to the end, regardless of where I end up when it's done.
