You were always the best; Nobody ever came close. You defined the art, and it defines you.
Your actions have changed the world. Powerful men have fallen by your hand, but by the same token—others have risen. Do you realize what kind of world you've been shaping? Does the ICA? Does your handler?
I live in that world.
I have seen the consequences; I have felt the cost. That's what defines me.
AFAIK, beta canon isn't necessarily "non-canon " but rather "less canon than alpha." So, in the event of contradiction, the alpha takes precedence, and events in beta canon are unlikely to be referenced in alpha works. But beta can still considered part of the canon.
do you know if a stitch in time is considered canon?
Im pretty sure trek “canon” only extends to stuff explicitly in the shows and movies, so novels dont qualify. But trek canon is so loosey goosey even there that i believe u can incorporate any beta canon u want into ur core belief system and nobody is allowed to throw rocks at you
Tell me—what did it feel like, taking lives?
… Random. Disordered.
Is that why you came here? Why you let us test you?
Maybe I'm not the only one being tested.
Nothing Saejima does has ever surprised me. When he ripped a 900-pound transformer box out of the ground and used it to bash a guy's head in, I was like "yah of course he can do that." When he punched a grizzly bear so hard that it respected him as a fellow apex predator I was like "checks out, I'd have done the same." I mean the man looks like this and he just keeps getting buffer every game.
The only thing he's ever done to surprise me was start sobbing during the death match, and that's only cuz I had never seen a Yakuza protagonist properly cry before.
