Rain begins to fall. The invasion can still be heard in the background, and somebody must have started a fire, because the sky is sort of red, and even the rain doesn't put it out.

Everyone starts having discussions. Lecias joins in Wraak, Bolona, and Exedra's fight. Meanwhile Adder and Cinder stay off to the side. Eventually Adder has a confession to make.

[| Cue the sad piano music.]

"Cinder...Since this war's been going on for a while...And we figured out that Pernicia is antagonizing us, especially me...I might as well say a little something."

Wraak joins their conversation.

"I...was a member of the Dilophosaurus Empire." Not a Clan, and Empire. "Psychopathic mad scientists...The dominant species in the Rift millennia ago. They discovered the lost languages a hundred years before anybody else did, and they rose to dominance through a convulted and twisted process consisting of generations and generations of inbreeding, crossbreeding, and the like.

"My father Kragok...He served in the Empire, and they dominated every other Clan. They killed the Baryonyx Clan, they captured the Deltadromeus Clan, they annihilated the Velociraptor Clan, they slaughtered the Dacentrurus Clan...While the other species stayed insentient, the Dilophosaurus Empire became feared scientists and explored the farthest reaches of the Rift, by utilizing animals as transport. While we were using our fists in combat they were using swords...Maybe a few years from now when we use our teeth they will use cannons...

"I think this is why I've always hated everything. I can't control my mind, it acts on its own. Generations and generations of insanity has gotten to me in the form of depression and rage. It was my own stupid self that attempted to kill you the second we met a year ago...I could remember it all. I was starving...You wanted to befriend me. I saw you as an enemy and I nearly stabbed your throat...We got at each other's necks for months, figuratively and literally...But even though you're perfect and I'm just a walking wastebasket, we somehow became friends...Then...I had a revelation...Some kind of unseen enemy killing everyone I loved...I woke up that night, and begged for you to kill me. You refused...I don't understand why you don't regret that...I've just been a load...I refused Wraak's help before when we met a week ago...I rejected Stalagmite as a friend six months before due to his fighting style...I hated Randall a year ago due to his reckless nature...I tried to kill you for no reason.

"But there's something that seriously bugs me...If I had stayed in the Dilophosaurus Empire...Cinder...Wraak..."

"Y O U  W O U L D   B E   D E A D   B Y   M Y   H A N D..."

Both Wraak and Cinder look at him. They stare with shocked eyes, they didn't know the real reason behind Adder's depression.

"I know...This speech was likely for nothing..."
