Irene, Kai and others in “Paris Je t'Aime”

I'm not sure. We were created just to fight... I think.

You think?

We had no choice but to fight in order to survive. I don't know how long I've been here. But my oldest memory is feeling the restraining belts on my skin. The sunlight never reached that place. Day after day... they taught me everything there is to know about humans. And then, time to fight. It was the only time... the restraining devices were taken off of me. Day after day... I had no choice but to fight, fight and fight. Our torn skin closed up instantly... and our broken bones healed quickly. None of us died. We took it for granted. But we later learned the truth. We we could die too. We didn't know what it was at first. Cracks on our bodies. We called it the "Thorn". The Thorn appeared on some of the Schiff... and destroyed their bodies. We found out that those who got the Thorn... would eventually crystallize and die. Then Moses had an idea. [Scene Cuts to a memory]

We're leaving here tonight.

Okay, and then what?

Find a way to live without fear of dying from the Thorn.

Any idea how?

No.

So then...?

If we don't do anything, we're all going to end up with the Thorn. As long as we stay locked up in this prison... we're just going to die! One by one until we're all gone.

Moses was usually very calm, but he sounded so passionate. It was the first time we'd ever felt any hope. That night we decided to leave Kilbed.

Those mosnters!

That is when we learned... that we were created by humans.... and were meant to be disposable from the beginning. This is the Thorn. We need blood to reverse this. But it can't just be any kind of blood. It must be the same type of blood that was used to create us. Some of it came from Diva. And some of it came from... Saya.
