The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Unknown remained quiet, offering no further words.
Curious, Steve asked, "Hey, why'd you go quiet all of a sudden?"
"Huh? It's nothing. Anyway, from that point on, I started moving with them to find the other stones. And when I finally got the last one the Green Stone I did... Arghhh!" Unknown suddenly clutched his head, overwhelmed by an excruciating pain.
Panicked, Steve blurted out, "Hey, what's wrong with you!?"
"I... I don't know. Every time I try to remember that moment, my head feels like it's splitting open. All I can tell you now is that after that moment, my body felt like it was moving on its own, driven by an insatiable thirst for power. I only snapped out of it when I was finally sealed by my four pawns... ahh"
Steve recalled the photo he had found in Zone Zero. "So, the photo in Zone Zero... that was-"
"Yes, those were my pion. I have no idea why they were in a place like that."
"Alright, Unknown. If you can't go on, that's fine. This is enough. Thanks for being honest."
Exhausted, Steve finally got up and headed off to sleep.
