"The paths of light and darkness aren't always crystal clear. In trying to do something right, you can do wrong. But this has never given you reason to stop walking forward. You have learned from your mistakes, and become a better, whole person for it. You have come from the most unique situation from us all, questioning so many things... Yet you were able to discover the answers that suited you best, and shouldered the pain others left behind. In watching you, we know that anyone is capable of redemption and hope."

The wall breaks apart, but remains in pieces still separating the two of them, like a stained glass design with all of the soldered joints gaping as air.
Arden jumps back when all of that happens, prepared to defend himself again, but... nothing attacks them. ]
