Are you alright?
It is difficult.
I shall never return to the place of my birth again.
All the memories from my childhood...
my friends, my family...
I-I'm sure you can find a way.
You know I cannot.
The real me doesn't exist anymore,
at least not there.
That part of me is gone.
We are all different now.
This reawakening has changed us,
possibly forever.
But sometimes facing the past can unlock a new future.
But what is that future?
I'm not sure, but I won't fear it the next time we return.
And what if we don't return?
What do you mean?
I mean, this is not eternal.
If we finally succeed in destroying the evil,
will we have a future beyond that?
Do we stay inside our hosts?
Steal their bodies for the remainder of their lives?
Die an ordinary death?
Or do we go back into Copernicus forever?
And what happens to Copernicus?
[ Screeches ]
I guess I haven't really thought about that.
Our souls could just vanish forever, without a trace.
Nothing and no one to remember us.
All these centuries gone just like that.
Is that not part of our duty?
We all knew this would come to an end someday.
We chose this sacrifice.
And there's no way to undo it.

Who was it?
A man named...
Otto.
Otto? We were on his floating ship.
-But how could he... -What?!
