Глава 12

Hah, I should've thought twice about how I treated 'em back then. Now, I'm one of them.

I've heard of an organization whose activities have reached even the doors of Londinium.

If I remember properly, they were called...

Percival? What are you doing here?

Oh, Red.

I found an Infected on the side of the road. Must've been one of those people thrown here by the Duke of Windermere.

Another one?

Truth be told though, Percival, had you not sent out the news that the separation sequence between Norport and Londinium was underway, the fate of these Infected people might've been even more miserable.

Heh heh, I've always been a sharp one, and quite proud of it!

Thanks to you figuring it out, you even managed to hide our comms as a Londinium public broadcast. You should be glad I have the good habit of tuning into the radio.

It's not as easy as you make it sound. I had to dismantle the communication station in the hotel before I could finally find a place to pass on the news.

But, Rhodes Island and that Delphine lady did get the short end of the stick as a result...

Who exactly are you people...?

Have you ever heard of 'Reunion?'

Reunion?! Did you just say–

Woah, the whole gang's here.

Well done, Percival. We've taken in a number of Infected persons along the way, and they're doing much better than we initially expected.

Red was doing most of the hard work. I've pretty much just been slacking off.

And though I don't want to admit it, Rhodes Island also played a big part.

Rhodes Island... So, they're here too.

Reunion... I know what you people have done.

What kind of disaster are you trying to invite upon Victoria this time?

You have the wrong idea, sir.

We are the ones who gathered the debris from the ashes of the previous Reunion.

But, we are no longer what we used to be.

We will not abandon the name, nor the sins it carries. We must remember our past mistakes, but must also set out once more to prove ourselves to the Infected.

The new Reunion no longer needs a leader. We've traveled across several countries, fighting side-by-side with the Infected peoples who see themselves as our comrades.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Medicine and compassion cannot help the Infected in a way that matters, but solidary and strength can.

Sir, the Infected have no country of their own, so the new Reunion shall be where they belong.

Interested in joining us?

Talulah? What are you looking at?

The lingering Catastrophe cloud. The Shard has been activated.

Ugh, there's gonna be a lot more Infected soon.

I also have a message for you, Talulah.

I saw... a Draco who wielded purple flames.

Did you now...?

Percival, I often find myself thinking these days–

Indeed, there's a certain kind of person that seems naturally born to make waves. They will claim to be their catalysts, leaders, and creators.

In a sense, they tend to find success... but I would never call them winners.

I refuse to accept... that everything they've made deserves to enter the annals of 'history.'

I refuse to accept it.
