The tape began to play. It sounded like a therapy session...
"How are you feeling, today?"
"My head still hurts, and it feels difficult to talk..." That voice... it sounded like the girl who helped kill those vampires and the one who called herself "Arcade".
"It will take a few days before the neurological implants begin to help regulate your speech patterns to normal. Your accent may come and go for a while as well. There is nothing to worry about."
"Nothing to worry about? I am missing part of a leg, I'm now having my brain regulated by more machinery... what happens if dis all fails, Doc? What happens to me?"
"Well... you would go back to as you were after the bullet struck you. Alistaire Shaw promised to make arrangements for you should such a thing happen, but it is highly unlikely."
"I'd rather be dead, honestly. And I refuse to have Alistaire Shaw put me anywhere! I have a living will, and named someone who would arrange such things should that happen. But honestly, I would rather be dead then not be able to defend myself."
"You sound paranoid. Why is that?"
"I have more enemies than friends. No family, nothing. If these implants fail, I would rather die then be left to Alistaire Shaw. He doesn't... love me. He would just abandon me and never see me again. I'd rather be dead than be alone somewhere, with no allies, no control of my life, and a whole bunch of people who want me to suffer. That is why I wrote a living will, declaring that Ryan..."

The tape cut out after that.
