"Dimitri."
"Stop…"
Julius stared at the burning scene.
At the people he could have saved.
"...."
At Yuliya.
The sole reason why Julius felt this unbridled guilt eating away at him was something he couldn't comprehend.
Wasn't it he who had let these people die?
Wasn't it he who had already expected this outcome?
"…I didn't."
Wasn't it he who had tampered with the anomalies, who had let one free, and allowed them to run rampant to create this very situation?
That was the full truth.
By injecting SIBYL into Zima-12's core facilities, starting with the Knightframe they had imported into the complex, Julius had seeded it as an undetected virus.
"Julius."
Through that, he gained control over the anomalies' containment zones. With access to Zima-12, he could have opened the exits and allowed the people inside to escape.
However, that would mean they would survive to see the reckoning that would ensue.
