Someone saw the darkness in me and exploited it so that they could control my actions. But that's no excuse. Even with my mind under another's grasp... it was still my hand holding that lance, still me betraying my friends. All that the mind control did was bring forth a side of me that I'd buried deep inside, for a long time.

[Kain will always shoulder the blame for what he'd done, even if there was an outside force at work. He thinks about that dark, terrible dragon he'd just seen... Does that represent all of this darkness inside of him? It... sure feels that way.]
