[After Silent Hill, Beatrix is in no mood to discuss her struggle or to explain what happened. It was exhausting, it was humiliating and dangerous and painful and sick and emotionally torturous, and all she wants to do is retreat to her cabin to lick her wounds. But she still isn't sure how many of her friends made it back, and how many are still in Silent Hill with that strange, sweet girl Zev.

Video would show her cut and tearstained face and her voice would crack under the strain of crying: text is the only good option to ask what she needs to.

Who do I need to mourn?

[Sometime later, private to Thassarian and Sylvanas]

I owe you both a debt I can't possibly repay.

[Private to Jeryline]

I'm sorry.

We all have to live with the consequences of our decisions.

[It's heavy, he knows, he knows better than anyone where the path leads.]

Where do you plan to go from here?

[Of course he does. It's more than just the detective thing, she's his friend, he always knows when she's in pain.]

Might I suggest moving forward.

[It's ironic, coming from him, since he lives in the past so much, dwells on his mistakes, but he managed to, somehow. To graduate. She's close, he can feel it.]

I'm a killer, and I'm a father. There's middle ground, Bea.

[This is like trying to explain to Slade, what changed, why he graduated. He's not sure he can explain it, but he has to try.]

I'm not sure, but you're close.

[He laughs, bitterly.]

Did you know that when I graduated, I didn't even notice? Only when Alex said I wasn't registering on his warden item did we know what had happened. I didn't feel any different.

I think... I chose my son, over vengeance. There wasn't anyone left to take revenge upon. Nothing left to fight. If I had to carry on, I needed a new purpose.

[He speaks slowly, mulling over each word, each sentence, and realises that's it, that's what did it.]

That's... what changed. I realise it now.

[He knows it too, but there has to be something that can make her try again. Hope for regaining her child.]

No, it won't. [A long pause.]You can make a deal, for your daughter. When you graduate.

['When', not 'if'.]

Gently:]
If what?

You'll know.

A parent always knows.

[He smiles at her, it's worn, and grief is written into every line of his face.]

[He sighs. He doesn't like the idea of her killing, but he knows how he would have reacted if someone had told him to stop his crusade mid-way. They both have to live with it. And her - she won't be safe from the people hunting her until they are dead. There isn't much of a choice.]

Then finish, but there is something beyond that for you.

Finish it. You need to. That's the only way you'll be free.
