(In the meantime, please be careful. This world is getting darker all the time. I weep at the thought of something terrible happening to you. I could not bear it...
All my love, Tom.)

I have seen this city a thousand times.

You have heard me tell this story
Many times before you sleep.

(With eyes full of rage, Megaman looked over the whole of Mankind, turned his eyes back to the robot army and lowered his head. Slowly, he loosened his grip on his battle-scarred helmet, letting it drop from his hand to the ground.)

What have I done?
Though I did not pull the trigger, I built the gun.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 3h

The hope of man is no machine,
IT'S THERE IN HANDS OF SKIN AND BONE.

TOM, LISTEN TO YOURSELF,
THEN LISTEN CAREFULLY TO ME.

I'VE HEARD THEM WHISPER ABOUT YOU.
I'VE SEEN THE MEN IN THE BARS,I'VE SEEN THE WOMEN LOCK THEIR DOORS AT NIGHT,
LOCK YOUR DOORS TONIGHT.

There's a fear, can't be seen, it surrounds me.
As afraid of the dark as the light.
Was a time, long ago, these were safe streets
NOW I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO KEEPS ME ALIVE.

NO ONE WILL COME.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 5h

Light was a loner. A thinker. A man of ideas.
Ideas forbidden in Wily's society.
The society for which he worked.
The society in which he lived.
The society that he would set free.

CAN I TAKE IT BACK?
CAN I TURN OFF THIS MACHINE
BEFORE IT DESTROYS EVERYTHING THAT I'VE LOVED?

I hear nothing but the static.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 7h

There's a chance, though I know it's a long shot,
And the city is out of time.
All for naught if your heart stops beating, 'CAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT KEEPS IT ALIVE.

BUT I KNOW THE FIGHT IS ALREADY DONE.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 8h

There is a hell that has been building,
From the moment we first met.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 9h

Cause you and I, Tom,
We are men,
And we can bend,
And we can break.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 10h

WE HAVE CONTROL.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 10h

Do not say this is how it has to be.
You do no better than the fools of this burning city.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 11h

The crowd had gathered there to watch him fall, to watch their hopes destroyed.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 11h

KEEP ME ALIVE.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 12h

They looked to me once,
Now they turn to you.

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 12h

WON'T YOU OPEN YOUR EYES?
SEE THE BLOOD'S ON THE GROUND:
CAN'T YOU HEAR HIM CALLING OUT?

Protomen Quote Bot (ACT III JAN 9) @hoperidesalone.bsky.social · 13h

(Megaman's eyes fix once again on Protoman.
His weapon drops to his side.)

WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE, I SWEAR I'M GONNA MAKE IT RIGHT.
