91. Pausing.

92. 
    

93. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Beware the illusion of absolutes: good and evil blur in the mirror of history, where yesterday's heroes become tomorrow's villains, stained by the unintended echoes of thier choices.

95. Pausing.

96.

108. 
     

109. Thinking.

110. 
     

111. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): The bright minds recognize that good and evil are intertwined like roots in the soil, fostering growth through decay. This teaches me that purity is an illusion, and wisdom comes from exploring the gray areas.

113. Reflecting.

114. 
     

115. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Amid the blur of good and evil, my ability to choose serves as a guide. It doesn't remove the uncertainty but
