(after the explosion)
AMY- (wakes up) Uh... Kyo... you there??
KYO- Yeah... I think we did it...
DANMAN- Finally, we got rid of Waleed.
OATMEAL- I used to pray for times like this.
POYRAZ- Peak stuff...
.
BONES- Uh? That explosion.
MILLER- What?
JOE- (????)
.
TRAKKTOR- Uh... (sees someone free-falling towards land on the screen in his lab) Knight, are you able to catch him?
KNIGHT [via Resocom]- I can try. (tries to make a rock slide again, but it doesn't get very tall) Shit. It's not tall enough-
(however the slide got stretched tall enough)
KNIGHT- Huh? (looks behind)
RATZ- (eyes glowing red) Thank god we made it on time.
KNIGHT- Thanks, man. Where are the others?
RATZ- SadGT is busy in Town Hall.
AANG- Damn, that was a headache to handle.
POTATO- And a pure disaster, too.
.
(meanwhile, Baizhi rolls down through the slide to the road)
Ugh...
I think... I did it...
BAIZHI- (tries to stand up)
KAE- Baizhi...?
BAIZHI- Uh... you...?
KAE- Your arm...
BAIZHI- (looks at his right arm)
F**k, it all got burnt, and I can't even feel my arm anymore. I knew my arm wouldn't be able to handle that sheer amount of force.
KAE- You really like hurting yourself... don't you...? With that current strength, you could have died... Do you really think of yourself as some kind of hero-
BAIZHI- Why does it matter to you?
KAE- Huh...
BAIZHI- I asked why it matters to you?
KAE- Because you have a life to live...?
BAIZHI- And shouldn't you be focusing on your own life instead? I care less about living anyway.
KAE- Lemme guess. Because of that day, right?
BAIZHI- You won't understand how it feels to be used.
KAE- So you're gonna put all blames on me??
KNIGHT- (reaches them) Oh crap.
TRAKKTOR [via Screen]- Oh crap.
RATZ- What's going on there?
AANG- Can't tell, I'm missing context.
BAIZHI- Do you have any idea how much I did when you were sick and stressed? And yet, I felt like brushed off.
KAE- You need to understand boundaries. And I can't cross that. Despite being severely ill, I have a life to live, unlike you.
BAIZHI- Yeah... by crushing me.
AANG- Eh, what?
POTATO- Will I miss such drama after leaving SP?
KNIGHT- Shhh.
BAIZHI- Real thing is, I just got ditched again, just like I got in Hidden Valley.
KAE- (shocked)
KNIGHT- (reaches there to stop them) Guys, this isn't the time to argue. Eliminating Waleed wasn't a part of the mission alone. We have people to be saved who are trapped.
BAIZHI- (turns away) Then tell her to never enter my life again.
KNIGHT- Bro.
KAE- I'm not interested either.
TRAKKTOR [via Resocom]- Baizhi.
BAIZHI- Trakktor?
TRAKKTOR- Without being a nuisance on the way, come to my lab. Now.
.
(at his lab)
BAIZHI- (gets his hand bandaged by a nurse)
TRAKKTOR- Thank you, miss. You may leave now.
(The nurse bows to both of them and leaves the lab)
TRAKKTOR- Alright, Mr Emo Boy. Lemme ask you something.
BAIZHI- What?
TRAKKTOR- (after a long pause) Are you a skid?
BAIZHI- Bruh, is this a joke or something?
TRAKKTOR- I have the same question as you.
BAIZHI- What...
TRAKKTOR- First of all, almost losing your right arm to nuke the f**k out of Waleed wasn't worth it. 2nd of all, nuking the whole street wasn't a very OPTIMAL solution. And at all, what was that meaningless argument with her?
BAIZHI- Uh... where do I start with...
TRAKKTOR- I don't know. I need answers.
BAIZHI- Alright, I was unable to think of anything else during that intense situation, so I had to do it, whether I was losing my arm or not.
TRAKKTOR- Do you know, because of that, so many people could have died? Thankfully, there were a lot of World Mason users who were able to reduce the impact on them.
BAIZHI- Right...
TRAKKTOR- And what about the other thing? Don't tell me you're like those TikTok kids who think women are bad and you feel sigma by insulting a woman.
BAIZHI- What are you talking about?
TRAKKTOR- Don't play dumb with me. I heard your convo with Knight, you were saying some of the most nonsensical things just because Kae left you.
BAIZHI- So, expressing myself is nonsense now?
TRAKKTOR- Does anybody care?
(a long silence)
BAIZHI- Right... why would someone even-
TRAKKTOR- Listen here dude, you have already made a very negative image of yourself by "expressing yourself", not only that, you have become a very bad example for an SP right now.
BAIZHI- But...
TRAKKTOR- No but. Whatever you did isn't gonna bother me, okay. People are gonna hate you in the end, and then you will cry later, questioning why you are being hated. And I'm not surprised since I see a bunch of sick people like you. But never saw one in the SP Forces. At least this year's recruitment.
BAIZHI- I see...
TRAKKTOR- Although you might be better than that Waleed dude, you're still on very thin ice.
BAIZHI- So... am I getting fired...?
TRAKKTOR- Well, that's not in my hands. Your leaders will decide if you're going to be fired or suspended, or whatever. I called you here so that I can remind you to think deep on what you did. Got it?
BAIZHI- (nods)
TRAKKTOR- You may leave now. I don't wanna waste any more time on you.
BAIZHI- Right... (leaves the lab)
TRAKKTOR- "It's not hard to become a better person, Baizhi. If you realise what you did wrong, you can still redeem yourself."
.
Now do I think of it... I think I did wrong...
Am I... really becoming inhuman...?
Is it because of... the curse inside me...?
Or what...
"Embrace yourself...
Improvise, and become better...
The Forgotten One...."
