In case I lose it at the trial or something, I'm sorry you had to see me like that. I don't know why, but sometimes I get weirdly anxious and possessive over things. Being stuck here isn't helping matters.

You also deserve more of an explanation since we never figured out exactly what C-ta and Yor's motives were. You know how I used to be a miner? Well, they don't pay too much for all the hard work miners do. I didn't want to end up like the homeless old men wasting away in hospice, but I realized I'm never climbing out of that hellhole if I don't have the money to do so.

Yeah, that was my wish. Money to live a comfortable life on. It's a stupid wish, now that I think of it. After hearing Edelgard's story about the monster, I'm even starting to feel guilty for having it. I still need the money, but I don't think I would kill just for that.

I should also explain that Golden Cave thing if I started yelling about that. I joined the team in that mine thinking I would actually find gold in there. I don't think I ever found gold, but the longer we stayed down there the more we kept thinking about the riches we might find, to the point that we were willing to do anything to get at them. I got the brilliant idea to sneak in explosives to speed things up.

Turns out a meteorite struck the mine and made it structurally unstable. The whole damn mine collapsed. I was the only one who made it out alive.

I've only told one other person this story. I was hoping to take it to my grave, but that wouldn't be right in a situation like this. I'll try to make it up to you if there is a chance on the other side, but I'm sure there's only so much I can do from there. Try to keep your head and find a way out. I'm sure Riku would want you to escape if nothing else.
