Conviction

The answer was now painfully clear. Despite their best efforts, Shade had no interest in returning to Team Shadow Liege. His goal was to simply find his brother and there was nothing anyone could do to change that.

"Shade," began Celia in a saddened voice. "...what do you hope to gain by taking revenge on your brother? Do you truly believe that by killing Rein, everything will somehow be fixed..?"

"You seem to have the wrong idea, Celia," answered Shade. "I'm not going to see my brother only for revenge. I'm also going to find out why he did something so cruel back then. I want to understand why he would slaughter his family and leave me as the sole survivor. Of course, I'll probably kill him no matter his answer."
