[Up until now, the only people that knew all these details were Jude and Alvin. It's not particularly a great topic, for anyone involved.
But.
She takes a deep breath.]
Kind of a long story. But... at the time we thought our friend Milla, the woman that Jude's really into, had died. Jude was pretty inconsolable for days. I tried my best to take care of him and convince him to keep going, to finish what Milla started, but he wouldn't budge. He wouldn't eat, he barely slept. We all got separated shortly before, and I tried to reach out to everyone, hoping that if we regrouped and kept going that he'd at least focus on the mission.
Then Alvin showed up.
Back then Alvin was... really messed up. And not on anyone's side but his own. He lied to us a lot and betrayed us countless times, but Jude always gave him another chance. We had recently found out that our world was separated into two- Rieze Maxia and Elympios. Alvin was from Elympios and had gotten trapped in Rieze Maxia when the schism was put into place to prevent Elympios's decaying world from spreading to our own. Apparently, he made a deal with Muzet that if he killed us, she'd send him back home.
So I fought him off. I knocked the gun out of his hand right before he was about to shoot Jude, then I grabbed Jude and tried to run. Alvin and I fought for a while, with Jude still completely out of it. And just when I thought we had finally escaped, and I had managed to get through to Jude, I was shot by Alvin as I was pulling Jude to his feet. I don't really remember much after that. Jude and Alvin fought... and Alvin left.
I think he was hoping he'd just have to kill Jude and be done with it, and that would destroy our morale. But once he actually shot one of us, he realized he couldn't do it and ran off.
[There's more detail than is necessary, but she just wants to make it clear that Alvin was a different person back then. He's nothing like that now.
More importantly...]
Anyhow, I only mentioned this because I'm sure Jude feels just as bad. He's had to watch me almost die twice. But I just couldn't bring myself to confront him when I woke up.
