Depeche returns to his horse, frowning as he savours time with her in order to feed her and maintain her mane. He glances downward for a moment, contemplating on Joachim's words, before tilting his head upwards with his eyes crackling with electricity. As he runs a hand over his horse's side, he thinks to himself for a brief moment;

"Now I'm not sure who's the maddest out of either of us. Joachim or I... Hmph. I've no idea what's going on, but the man clearly knows something the rest of us don't. Trying to convince me that these Corpse Parts are nothing but trouble, that they can't cast miracles and allow me to regain my sight, yet they would allow a man like Valentine to 'reach Heaven'... No, my sight isn't worth Heaven and Earth, but that noble's boy doesn't know a damn thing. All his preaching about helping people... He's never seen the suffering of others as we wanderers of the world have; where I cannot turn a blind eye to how men, women, and children suffer such foul fates in a world where God is supposed to love them."

"... Perhaps that is Valentine's reason, if he is the one behind the sabotage. To fix the problems of this country; to right its wrongs and help the people prosper. ... Yet his methods thus far have been questionable, placing innocent lives at risk for the sake of the grander picture... I need more time. I need to decide for myself. I am not a violent man... But do I sacrifice my beliefs of protecting and saving the few to defend the many?" The blind man ponders as he handles his steed, deep in contemplation before he comes to what he knew was a but a brief, temporary conclusion;

"For now, I can only trust myself. Whether it'd be Valentine's hitmen or Joachim, for the time being, I have to watch my back until I come to a decision. Looks like, once again, I shall be travelling alone until the spirits offer me their guidance... whether I should follow it or not, that is only for me to decide."
