I now return this to your hands.
[ Altena gives Kirika her gun. After a flashback, Kirika realizes Altena gave her her first gun and sent her on her first assassination mission. Kirika points her gun at Altena.]
Go ahead and shoot. If that were the ask assigned to you, a Noir must be able to shoot, even if that target is myself. Just what worries you, child? You must never falter. The world of man is always bound in darkness, and in years to come, you will see many black deeds with your own eyes. But you must never look away...not from that darkness, and not from the world full of suffering. We have an obligation that we must bear, both you and I. It is our shared destiny to bear the most unforgivable of sins together. But you already know this, don't you child? The answer that you have been searching for is within these walls. You have returned to your home, this is where you belong, it's time to accept your world. Those gathered here are all family and together we serve that cause.
You're saying...I'm a sinner because that's what we must do...this family?
Yes, the sin within the sin, that is why we live together in darkness. For this is the only place where you will ever know peace.
[ Kirika falls to her knees.]
The man within the man, the love within the love, the sin within the sin.
[ Altena embraces Kirika.]
Poor little one. Do not worry, child. Once you come to accept this life, all will be right once more.
