"Once I heard about the fact that I had an Apostle inside my body, I should not have come here. I should not have escaped. I should not have come here. I should not have descended down the sewers and inserted myself into Reginald's group…" Damian Rose was repeating these phrases to himself as he was slowly losing touch with reality itself.
"Woah there, are you losing your mind or something?" Mephisto's dark figure asked him inside the plane of existence inside of Damian Rose's body. "No. I cannot. I cannot atone…why did they not come here? Why didn't they save me sooner? Commander Kanon Sokolov? Leon? Kyro? Reno? Sanya?!" Damian Rose was in fact losing his mind, much like what Mephisto had said.
