Galaxian shook his head, then turned away, closing his eyes. He smirked slightly to himself. The way Fallon's reacting is...pitiful, almost, he thought to himself. She needs her memories of Alexander pushed away, and yet she's still hesitating about his fate, even after everything he's done. He clenched his fist.

Yet I can't say she's that much different than I. Wasn't I that same way when Kokumajutsu was within Kenshin, controlling him and attacking me? Wasn't I just as hesitant--actually, even more so? Just that one battle...look where that got me? Injuries, physical and mental--deaths, a half-burned village where they'd been existing peacefully until I came along, met Kokumajutsu, and couldn't do anything to stop the enemy...everything for nothing. Wasn't it that hesitancy that led to this painfully slow process? That I couldn't get rid of Kokumajutsu and Alexander when I had the chance, when I was within their base and it was the darkest of nights...no, before that, when Kokumajutsu was within Kenshin. I could have just fought him instead of questioning him, maybe even destroyed his entire being...but I didn't. Do I regret? Perhaps.

How many deaths came from that chain of mistakes? Too many. As a god of life...I failed. My duty was to prevent unneeded deaths, wasn't it? But I failed. What other duty is there? Perhaps just to try to not fail again.

But I will. I always have, and I always will.

The very anime-looking, anime-acting god was silently berating himself in the corner. Again. Great.
