19Addison is able to walk up on the man utterly undetected, unseen by everything.
Upon closer inspection, the manās cloak seems to be emblazoned with the emblem of the Blue Dragon. What would a member of the Blue Dragon be doing foraging for poison?
A few seconds later, Cedar notices the tears left on the Captain and starts to panic. He might be disrespecting his body with his tears staining it! Heās paralyzed with fear until he looks at the black rose on top of Bukās body. With a shaky hand, he grasps the flower and brings it towards him. He has never seen a rose in such a dark shade before, but it looks more calming than a red or white one. Should he keep it? If he did, would he disrespect the corpse even more?! Cedarās fear still lurks inside him.
The Figureās words echo in Cedarās mind
āEvery time he looks at you he sees what he once was. He sees an ambitious young man with a heart of 100% gold substitute. He said it himself, with a tired laugh. Now that it is all done, I forgive him for what he did back then. His life grants peace to all those that fell, and to himself.ā
You inject mind controlling drugs into him through an incision you made on his arm. He will be likely to follow your orders when he wakes up.
After the words had settled into him, Cedar once more speaks but to himself this time.
āNoā¦ itās not a form of disrespect, itās a form of memory.ā
With that, he continues to hold onto the rose hoping that he can find someplace to put it. A few minutes pass until Cedar finally decides that he has spoken every word that needed to be said. He stands up, walks towards the door and opens it. Before he completely steps out, Cedar turns around to face Buk.
āIāll make ya proud, I promise.ā
You could have sworn that the manās unmoving face was in that of a smile. Maybe itās just your eyes playing tricks with you but thisā¦feels like the right thing to do.

Cedar gives a smile in return as he completely walks out of the room.
āParn, ya and the rest of the crew can continue what ya were doing before.ā
His voice is much more calmer than before with the smile still on his face.
