John is sad and says he's only helped three people, but Yazad tells him he should feel better about what he's accomplished. Now that he has memories back, he thinks about what he should do next. While thinking to himself, a mysterious voice speaks to him and says he knows he is John from Seattle. He decides he going to try to stop Ulric now anyway.
