Vanguard Orbital Command, H.E.L.M.
The Guardian approaches Mara & Crow.
Mara Sov: I heard you over the comm channels. I… am sorry that we are forced to entreat with Riven. She and I have our own histories to navigate, but what she did to you… how she wormed her way into your mind… That was inexcusable. It pains me to put you through this.
The Crow: Even after all that's happened, you still think I need to be protected.
Mara Sov: No, that is not—
The Crow: It's all right, Mara. I understand. We've always shared a connection. Even when you were lost in the Ascendant Plane, I could still feel your presence. Your heartbeat. I knew you weren't truly gone… Riven was only able to manipulate me because of how strong our connection was… Is. I've made choices I'm not proud of. But I'll never apologize for the reason I made them. It's the same reason you reach out even now, when — when you see me struggling. You're my sister. Nothing can break that bond. Not death. Not Riven… Not even the Light.
Mara Sov: Like Ager and Rega, finding each other in the storm.
The Crow: Heh. Yeah, well… All that we've been through… that's no fable. We stood together as the world collapsed around us.
Mara Sov: And we'll stand together again.
