Later. Later...

[ The Singularity hums as it raises its hand, spearing the Uvi with a single beam of searing light. ]

Not God Arcs. The Aragami controls its body by its own mind. A task done from within. I just need time...

[ It works, right? The theory was sound, the facts... well, it does point in the same direction. Surely, he can do it. At the very least, he wouldn't cause an Apocalypse here. ]

[If it doesn't work, there is no later! a part of him wants to yell, but it would be fruitless: there had been no turning back since Julius had made his decision, sweeping aside all obstacles, and that meant it had to work. He had to make it work, even if it meant putting himself bodily between the Aragami and whatever it threatened. And it would threaten everything, if Julius' contingency plan came to pass.

At some point, he'd stopped really thinking of it as an if. The resolve, at least, was already there -- simple as breathing. He would stop him no matter what it took. At least that part was easy, the willing part.]

So it's up to you. [maybe it's the increasing noise in Julius' telepathic voice; maybe it's his own disordered thoughts; but his words seem more scattered, less smooth] I'll make time. So...

[So, what? In the end, he has to wait and see. Faith. Hope. Always easier said than done. Easier, when he has a blade in his hands and something to face.

Still, he shivers when he feels the heat from the Singularity's beams, passing so close it makes his hair flutter and seems to concentrate all the heat and weight of the Aimintas atmosphere along its path. Everything smells and tastes burnt. He scrambles away from what little is left of that Uvi, using the greatsword to propel his movement. Forces himself to swing at the next one, and the next.]

I can do it.

[ Just like Lenka has his resolve to stop Julius, the blond man has his own. His willpower is far stronger than he knows it to be, for that six months of torment had not yet come to pass.

But he cannot do it alone, and it's a fact that will soon be pressed home. ]

Let's go. There's someone we can yet save...
