Sitting in the dark room riddled with hanging chains, Lotus sat at a table with his head down and arms over the back of his head. The sound of his foot could be heard tapping against the ground, a trait of those with anxiety or a simple thing of habit as he tried to sit still and think. Across the table was a familiar chain. One that was used recently in a battle that saw two individuals go missing. Two that have not shown since that day, and there was no way of knowing when they may return. In the back, one could see the large beast known as the Wrath working on something. The occasional sound of hammer hitting steel could be heard as the bouncing of Lotus' leg stopped and he lifted his head up to stare at the chain.

"The concept was simple. We all knew what may be the outcome. Someone was disappearing. A soul would be lost to the unknown. Two souls, both the same... Claimed by the gates that brought her here. Is it an end? Of course not. I said time and time, again, that it was never an end. It was a fix to a problem that I couldn't quite predict. How could I predict betrayal? How could I predict someone getting confused over matters and refused to listen? I've always stated to either stand by me or stand against me. I always stated the results of those that stand against me. To fall and become the ash that'll feed the future. Queen Oni and Emily both stood against me over and over ... and now they're lost to time until they find their light. her light?" Shaking his head, he would suddenly glitch with the red-haired lunar sitting in place instead of Lotus. Eyes were on the chain as he laid his hands over the metal and guided his hand across it.

"And to think I'd see an assist to rid of one unfortunate nuisance. As much as I pride myself in seeing someone I had high hopes for survive such extreme conditions, it is truly a sad day to see her disappear by that assist. So for that, I do thank you for removing a problem from my hair. Very much appreciated, but it seems there may had been a problem soon after. What was my enemy was something more to you, and that factor was not taken into account at all. How could I had known the chaos that brewed within's one mind wasn't of their own?" he asked as he ended up laughing out. "My goals were simple: eye for an eye, blood for blood. I took blood, and I left her unconscious just as she did with me. I made a vow." he spoke before glitching out for Lotus to reappear staring at the chain.

"I made a mistake."

He spoke out his admittance before leaning back into the chair with eyes focused to the ceiling. "I made a mistake, but the mistake wasn't my own. All that was seen at that moment was my opponent distracted. I took my shot and did what I promised to do. I did... exactly what I sought out to do. I did it, and no one stopped me. That doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is not knowing all of this was due to a mask. A mask!" he exclaimed with a hand moving over to cover his face, laughter ensuing. Laughter usually that signaled the madness of Lunar, it was instead Lotus laughing out over this matter. "The moment the mask came off, my opponent was gone. No one told me, and the violence continued. Far as I'm concerned, I destroyed an innocent life." he spoke out before Lunar switched back out far more relaxed over the matter than his counterpart.

"Is that really a proper excuse, though? An innocent life that put on the mask is guilty of wearing the mask. I cannot be blamed for the chaos that ensued, and I cannot be blamed for not knowing the conditions. Oni. Emiko.. Emily.. It's all the same person linked together in design," he spoke out as he reached out to grab the chain to lift it up and reveal that one end of the chain was dyed a blood red. "And these chains of fate has taken a piece of our poor victim and claimed it as its own. A reminder of what happens if you cross us may you be innocent or guilty," he spoke out before Lotus returned as he held onto the chain.

"It's now in the past, and I must look ahead into the future. Hear me... and follow me to the promised lands for us all to enjoy and fight to our heart's content. Hear me... and stand against me to only become ash for the very lands I seek to preserve and aid," he spoke before lifting the chain up to wrap along his neck and hang around him as a loose, large necklace. The blue eyes of lotus stared at the camera. "What's done is done, right? I'll move on and continue on. After all, a mask only serves to bring out one's true self." Whatever anxiety he seemed to have prior has melted away into what was now a more confident looking Eclipse, no longer being troubled by the match.

"Stay tuned."

The camera would cut out and the sound of Moxcy laughing took the stage as the voice would soon fade as well.
