Aito talked with Krugan, seeking news of his comrades and what happened after the sacred event.
In the arena, the orc leader and his troops had defended the unconsciousness Aito against the crazed crowd. He couldn't let the winner of the Sacred Event get killed by his people while Aito was unconscious.
After the orcs regained their sanity, Krugan had brought Aito to the infirmary. Try as he may, Krugan hadn't been able to separate the sacred weapon from Aito.
Aito had remained unconscious for three days in a row. Without earthly modern means, his body had relied on his own nutrients to keep itself going, resulting in a dehydrated state. Hungry, he asked Krugan to order food.
While he devoured the content of an entire day's worth of food for one man, Krugan reported to him his companions' where about.
"How would you react if someone told you you've lived a lie? Sometimes I ask myself this question, for it concerns us all. Choice making. By making a choice you take into account many variables and try to make the best one. But how do you weigh the pros and cons? You call upon your life's experiences that were influenced by others in more ways than one. Therefore, were the choices you've made truly yours, or did they belong to someone else?"
