[He didn't know? He didn't remember? What if -- what if he didn't forgive her this time? Just the thought made her nearly turn away.]
[But no, she couldn't. He loved her, and more importantly she loved him. And he deserved the truth, even if he didn't stay with her after hearing it. And if she didn't tell him, what if the others did? Or Tieria, who sounded so angry.]
[A deep breath to calm herself.] I see. [Might as well just. Say it.]
I -- I'm an Innovade, like them. [She lets out a lungful of air, and keeps going, her voice shaky and her eyes fixed on her lap.] I had no idea, I promise you I didn't. Ribbons made me to infiltrate Celestial Being but he erased my memory so I wouldn't be discovered. They used me to find where Celestial Being was hiding. Then he made me -- [she pauses, tearing up] He made me shoot Lasse and take Mileina hostage and steal a shuttle to get away. Then he made me... fight you... and... [can she bear to say the last part? Not yet, not until she hears his response to this much. With great effort, she meets his eyes.]
Lyle... forgive me. Please, forgive me -- I promise you I had no idea.
