Deceived by humans and the god of humans, I let many die.
I, who was by Kuchuruku's side and did not stop him, am equally guilty. I understand that.
I have done a terrible thing.

However, as I fought, ready to throw my life away... I became aware of another sin.
It is still better for those who had someone to love, someone to believe in. With that, they can fight, they can resist any hardship.
