Diabound stood at the falls looking at the water and its clarity. He was smoking, making the air fill with a slight stench of a strange tobacco. Some that isn't of this world, but, still decent enough. He blew out a huff of smoke and listened to the area around him, hearing someone approaching him. He turned to see Placid walk up and stand next to him, staring straight ahead. They stayed silent for a matter of minutes until Diabound broke the silence.
"Ok, I am here like you asked. Now, what is it I can do for you?" he said taking a drag, looking at his creation rather curious. Placid looked at his father and stared, "I would like to discuss a matter that has been on my mind since Kaiden went toe to toe with Noxious..." he said looking back ahead of him, his arms folded. He looked like he could care less about being there, almost as if this entire situation was pointless. Diabound rose an eyebrow and released his smoke, "Ok, well, tell me then." he said taking a moment to pause between drags. Placid shut his eyes, then opened them half-way.
"Tell me why you made me. Tell me what I am, why I am... cold." he said looking at his father. Diabound sighed, looking at his son and giving him a look of curiosity. "Well, I suppose it was time you knew..." he said tapping his cigarette, "Although, know that this won't be a happy story...."

"What is the purpose of him?" Eiko said looking at the boy on the table, "You were told to NOT make more. Yet, here you are. Professor, I need to state that you are to halt all oper~..." she began and got cut off. "Now now, don't talk down to me. You having to teach these children is already getting in the way as it is General. Now, let me state that this one here... He isn't like them. This one, I have full control of." he said walking up to the table the boy was on. She shook her head, "You really keep thinking you have what is known as control. Your idea of control is a false reality, Professor." she said becoming agitated. He scoffed at her and smiled, "You know absolutely nothing about my work. This one here? He is built. He is going to be unable to do many things that make our current subjects obsolete." he said smiling more, "You see, PL4 here is designed to be emotionless. As seen in the past, Harbrginers bring forth their most capable abilities during emotional downfalls. Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Anger. None of them will exist as a source for a Harbringer!" he said becoming ecstatic. Eiko looked at him and became furious, "How dare you talk about these children as just objects! You fail to see that one of these 'subjects' is your own flesh and blood!" she said clenching her fist, "Now he is locked in the asylum because you lost your imaginary CONTROL!" she said shutting her eyes.
"Enough!" he said looking at the boy on the table. "PL4 here... He is the one to change it. Think about it, what if we had the ability to control Kaiden and his Harbringer freely. No issues with his emotions. I want to make the perfect be-..." he stated as Eiko punched in the jaw, looking down at him. "Under the Council, I hereby deny you of your current project and you are hereby banned from continuing your work on the Horseman Project. If you have an issue with this, take a long hard look at the son you are destroying and the boy who is in fatal condition because of your misdeeds!" she said leaving the room in a flurry of anger. He stood there, silent. Looking more stern than anything, he looked at the boy on the table and smiled.
"I refuse your... proposition General."

Placid stood there, looking indifferent. "Well, thats certainly like her... and like you..." he said shaking his head.
"Ok, I am here like you asked. Now, what is it I can do for you?" he said taking a drag, looking at his creation rather curious.
