[The message is short, the voice clipped, slightly laced with static. Though whether that's from fatigue, damage, or something else, it's hard to tell.]

... The Chieftain is dead.

[And he can't bring himself to move away just yet.]

I. I tried to fix it. I'm so sorry.

[And there the transmission ends.]

It's what makes you, isn't it? But that's not really what I meant either.

...sorta more like... How is this all affecting you? Or how will it?

How do you feel?

[He looks down again.]

I... I don't like how everything has happened. It makes me sad- and mad that I couldn't do anything about it.

...but I have to remember that there's still a lot of others around who probably feel the same. Friends. Strangers.

How... do I feel?

[He doesn't know how to begin to answer that. How are you supposed to feel after you kill someone?]

[After you break a promise like that?]

I feel... like something is broken. Like something is wrong, and it won't be right again.

I want it to be fixed. And I can't.
