When Chief George gave the order, Murphy sat in the corner of the command room, staring blankly at the wall in front of him. He let Doctor Eileen, who had come with him, run various diagnostics on his body.

When Doctor Eileen closed the armor over Murphy's chest and removed the charging device from his spine, his expression twitched unnaturally. His eyes seemed unfocused as he looked at her and spoke in an utterly dry voice. "Why are you doing this?

You're doing the cruelest thing in the world. People shouldn't have to become like me..."

Murphy raised his head slightly and leaned against the back of the chair. He murmured, "No one should have to suffer like this..."

Doctor Eileen heard his muttering. The usually cold woman's expression softened as she turned to face him and looked into his eyes. Somewhat agitated, she said, "You think this is a punishment?

You survived. Your child didn't lose a father, and your wife didn't lose a husband.

You can still fulfill your responsibilities. You can still go on living your life!

Why do you think this is a punishment?"

Murphy blinked and looked at Doctor Eileen's strikingly beautiful face. His voice rough, he said, "You're not me. How could you know how I feel?

How do you know my wife and child can accept me as I am now?

You dragged me out of hell and locked me in another one..."

Murphy turned his stiff head slightly and looked out the side window at the New York nightscape. He said bitterly, "I devoutly believe in God. I believe death isn't the end, but you've trapped me on the road to death...

What's the point of living like this? My wife and child deserve a better life...
