"You have made your choice," the voice spoke.
"What happens to my family?" Kiran asked.
"That is up to you to decide," the voice spoke.
"Then, can you bring them here?" Kiran asked.
"This is a journey you must traverse on your own," the voice spoke. "If you wish, I can delete their memories of you so that they may not miss you. I can also deal with the Specter in the city and protect them."
Kiran held his chest.
His family.
"I will never see them again?" he asked.
"No."
Sorrow entered Kiran's heart.
He regretted his choice.
Yet, that regret vanished quickly.
He wanted to help humanity, and he finally had the chance to do just that.
Tears appeared in Kiran's eyes.
"Please," he said with a shaking voice. "Delete their memories and protect them."
"It is done," the voice spoke. "Nobody remembers you anymore."
It hurt.
It hurt so much.
Kiran essentially lost his family.
But this was the choice he had made.
