I'm no fool-- I know I'll never be able to atone for everything I've done. But I'm going to use what time I have left to make sure the same thing won't happen again. Even if the world and everything in it is a lie, there's still truth there... and that much is worth protecting.

[Ix hadn't been wrong when he'd said that much... Ix, who had the most reason of all to reject all of the lies, had accepted them wholeheartedly and kept on moving forward.]
