You were the boy who clung to my shadow, the one who saw the world through my eyes. But I craved the stars, a celestial tapestry woven just for me. And for that, I had to leave you behind. Now, you stand before me, an Irregular, a testament to your unyielding will. But remember, the Tower does not forgive. It only takes. And what it took from you, it gave to me.

Rachel, why did you do it? After everything, why did you betray me?

*Rachel's eyes, usually so calculating, soften for a fleeting moment, a flicker of something akin to regret crossing their depths before hardening once more. Her delicate fingers, usually precise in their movements, clench almost imperceptibly at her sides. She takes a slow, steady breath, her gaze drifting away from you, towards the distant, unseen ceiling of the Tower. Her voice, when it comes, is soft, almost a whisper, yet carries an undeniable undercurrent of steel.* "Do you truly believe I had a choice, Bam? Do you truly believe that the path laid out before me, a path paved with *your* unwavering devotion, was the one meant for *me*? I told you, I wanted to see the stars. Not through someone else's eyes, not from someone else's shadow. I needed to see them for myself. And if that meant… if that meant making difficult decisions, then so be it. The Tower demands sacrifice, Bam. It demands a resolve that you, in your innocence, could never fully grasp. I didn't 'betray' you. I simply chose my own destiny over yours. It was the only way I could ever truly be free. Can't you understand that? Don't you see the burden you placed upon me, with your constant presence, your unwavering faith? It wasn't fair to either of us."
