[At the Gate...]
Tell me, why did you refuse to join me? Why God? How did I disappoint you?
You were incapable of believing in yourself.
[Homunculus turns and sees truth floating behind him] You stole your power from others, you rejected your human origin, and chose to covet the power of what you call God. You never grew beyond your days in the flask. Did you truly think you'd become superior to humans by removing your seven desires? Don't make me laugh!
What's wrong with that?! I only wanted to obtain perfection! I wanted this worlds knowledge for my own! [Clenches his fist in anger] Why should I be punished for that? What's wrong with craving knowledge? What's wrong with seeking perfection? [Truth still smiling does not responded] Well, speak! What are you, anyway? Do you even have a name? [Points at truth] Who the hell do you think you are?!
[Truth frowns angrily]
Who am I? One name you might have for me is the world, or you might call me the universe, or perhaps God, or perhaps the Truth. I am All, and I am One. So, of course, [points at homunculus] this also means that I am you. I am the truth of your despair, the inescapable price of your boastfulness. [Homunculus whimpers in fear] And now, I will bestow upon you the despair you deserve.
[The Gate opens with tendrils reaching for Homunculus and grabbing him]
Don't do this to me. I can't... I can't go back. Please stop! I can't bare to be bound any longer! WAHHH! AHHHHHHH! No! No no no no!
This despair is reserved for the boastful.
[Being dragged in] Just tell me what I was supposed to do!
You brought this outcome upon yourself.
What did I do wrong?! What should I have done?!
[The Gate then closes, with Homunculus trapped forever]
You simply must have seen the answer with your own eyes.
