The voices are in disagreement, so you mix and match the two suggested paths, explaining how McCreary was killed, and how SEED needs to be retired, for not only your safety but for the safety of others.
"Indeed...Our God has sinned against the trust we place in it..." The Pontifex trails off, sighing as he steeples his fingers and focuses on you. "I believe we are in agreement for what has to be done with SEED, to not only protect our newest champion, but also the people of his holy domain. It's a troublesome burden, that fear you must carry with you while you fight, but you are strong enough to carry it, I believe?"
"We'll be in close contact, Sister Alphira. Ask for me if you need guidance in these troublesome times, and as always, I look forward to seeing you at morning services." He rises, passing you by and patting your shoulder. He gives another smile to Emma, but the one he receives back is less than warm. The Pontifex pauses, looking back to you, "SEED, when it goes to war, never gives thought to casualties. Never gives thought to how to wage war better. It can always make more corpses to feed to the machine. Be better than that, Sister Alphira, and the Crusaders will love you more than...well SEED."
The Pontifex leaves you and Emma alone. You breathe out a sigh, approaching your armor as Emma waits patiently. You remove a glove, fiddling with the strap on it.
[16]"He's manipulating you, you know. And being heavy-handed about it. He already knew your answer before you even spoke. He wasn't even listening!"
[4 vs 16][18][19]Emma sits on your bed as you slip your hand into the glove, flexing the fingers. She watches you, brow furrowed, but doesn't comment. You activate the armor on a whim, feeling the needles slip into your fingertips, and the familiar disgust wash over you.
