He finally remembers. The thing that's been on his mind since he got here, the missing memories that never stopped making him wonder. The ones that made him so terrified for Trucy's safety... it was right in front of him all along. Apollo.

Klavier's hostage. Kristoph. Kristoph, the man who for so long had been his 'friend' and enemy all at once. Everything's clear now, but somehow, he only feels worse. What happened to him... it wasn't justice for the crimes he'd committed. It was blood sacrifice, for the sake of everyone else. There's something in the difference that makes him feel... unsatisfied.
