Elios' Realization

"I was blinded by my deep, deep grudge toward your father," said Ren quickly. "Your father killed my father .. I can't forgive him. Because of him, my father committed suicide and left my mother and me alone in this world. He didn't even have the chance to see me being born. My mother died not long after. I became an orphan and had no purpose in life other than to avenge my parents' death…"

Vega looked at Ren with eyes filled with grief.

"How could my father kill your father? You said that your father committed suicide ..."

With tears in his eyes, Ren then told Vega about an experiment that Splitz carried out 32 years ago at Elios' orders to get rid of the people he considered weak.

Ren really hoped that Vega could understand why he was so filled with hatred that he committed such heinous deeds and destroyed her life. He touched Vega's knee and squeezed it gently, trying to convince the woman to forgive him.
