My own arm turned against me, slashing downward. I wanted to stop. I needed to stop myself.
Because I knew that if I killed Xavier again, everything would repeat itself. The cycle would begin anew. I would be trapped here, forever.
I had to break this loop.
[WARNING: PLAYER IS RESISTING MAINQUEST!]
I summoned every neuron in my body to resist, forcing my arm not to strike.
[WARNING: PLAYER IS ESCAPING SYSTEM CONTROL!]
I felt each thread of my will being strangled by something unseen. It had no form, no physical presence, but it wrapped around my throat, demanding my obedience to laws I never chose.
[INITIATING PROTAGONIST CHAIN RESTRAINT.]
No one has the right to decide my fate but me.
[INITIALIZATION FAILED. RETRYING: SECOND ATTEMPT.]
Live or die. I choose.
"Your Highness…"
Xavier suddenly reached up, grabbing my hand. Trying to drive the blade into himself.
Not a chance!
