"Darkness rules your heart -- it gives me control. Muscle and sinew that once obeyed you now rebels against you. How you can remain here at all confounds the mind."

"It's still my heart and body. You think you can just come in and take over? I'm not gonna sit by and let that happen. Old man."

"Hmph. Don’t even entertain any notions of escaping me, girl. In the end, your heart will be engulfed by mine forever.

As I recall, you couldn't even handle your own darkness. How, then, will you triumph over mine?"

"I'm not afraid of what the darkness holds now. Even if you do wrestle control of my heart and soul from me -- even if you cast me into the deepest, darkest abyss -- you'll never sway me from the one cause that pushes me to keep on fighting. Whatever the cost, I'm ready to pay it."

"Oh? So that's how it is, is it? Someone else... a fragment of their soul... has set foot in your heart and planted the seeds of light... Anna, you sly fox.

Brave words, to be sure. But I'm a patient man. We can take as much time as we need to settle this little property dispute. However, know this -- You are just one of many roads that I might choose to take. Trust me. I made certain of that."

The pale old man soon turned around and vanished into the darkness of the Void all around them.

Even if she was left alone in the darkest of the abyss, she still had the courage to smile.

Jack... Anna... Valkyrie... She was fighting for them. She was willing to help them, regardless of what awaits her.

(Going to wait for Laz's epilogue now.)
