| *'''Osiris:''' It wasn't just Sundaresh looking for her lost love. In Chioma Esi's logs on Neomuna, she spoke of wanting to find her Maya again.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Osiris:''' She entered the VexNet to do so. And after everything she experienced, Esi let go and allowed it to subsume her.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Osiris:''' I had assumed it was out of shame or guilt. She did not intend for her logs to be found.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Osiris:''' But perhaps it was the same desire that inspired Sundaresh. A moment of happiness, preserved forever.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Osiris:''' She never found it. I can only hope that other copies of Chioma Esi did.

| *'''Saint-14:''' [sighs] I cannot comprehend what Maya Sundaresh did to Chioma. I-I don't understand how her love could have been so twisted.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ikora:''' Hm, Maya didn't want her wife back. She wanted an extension of herself. Someone she could control… or didn't need to control.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Saint-14:''' That is not love.

| *'''Saint-14:''' The Echo is lost. Will we ever be able to recover it from the radiolaria?
| |

| |
| *'''Ikora:''' I don't know… My Hidden are searching, but I don't expect them to find it.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Saint-14:''' And if there are others?
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ikora:''' All we can do is stay vigilant, and prepare for the unexpected.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Saint-14:''' Always bracing for a danger we cannot know. I had hoped, there would be a time beyond danger.
| |
|
| |

| *'''Saint-14:''' What would have happened if Maya had found the Chioma who agreed with what she was doing? The one who would stand with her.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ikora:''' Maya would have never found that Chioma.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Osiris:''' Even if such a woman existed, there would always be some flaw, some friction that would make Maya reject her again.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ikora:''' And when Maya did find the one she said she wanted, the one she killed other Chiomas for, she rejected her anyway.
