I hear his voice again, telling me that sacrifices have to be made. I think of Zazie the Beast, and I'm not so sure. Nicholas is yelling at me now, calling me a hopeful fool, telling me that I know Meryl and Milly shouldn't be put into a situation like this when I have the power to save them. He tells me that I can't expect them to die here, for some foolish ideal. Sacrifices have to be made.
Sacrifices have to be made.
All I can hear is Nicholas. Telling me to kill Legato, not to let Milly suffer, not to let Meryl suffer. Sacrifices have to be made. I open my eyes, but it isn't Legato under my gun anymore. Nicholas is on the ground, shouting at me to kill him, to save Milly.
