Part Three: The Plan.

Andrew united his hands, in a manner of someone praying, and rested his chin on them.
"Tell me again, this plan of yours. Supposedly, we heard what Jack said. Supposedly, we'll listen to him. But I have come to trust you. And you know that. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. So tell me. What is your own, clear and undistorted opinion on this matter, Anna's."
Close to his ear, so much that he could hear his breath, was Solidus, who was never there, but once he was, he had always been. And he was now behind him, lowered to speak right in Andrew's ear.
"Are you... Sure... About this?" Solidus said, smiling deviously. Andrew could nearly hear that smile. He simply nodded.
"Young one, where we've come, we haven't done so because we were what passes for "good" all the time. You know, as I know that there have been... Dark... Times. As you know, we regret nothing. Everything happens for a reason. And Sometimes, it is inevitable, that, if you want to save someone you love, you have to hurt them."
"Therefore, my plan is simple. Short. And you don't have to like it. Not upon the first time of hearing it, anyway. What I think is best to do, is something usual, and perfectly normal, given a tiny little twist..." Solidus's smile turned into a grin, and although Andrew did not turn around, he could swear he saw his eyes glowing a demonic red. He was now speaking against Andrew's other ear.
"Tell her the truth. Not one word held untold. Tell her. Answer Whatever she asks with the complete and utter truth. Be remorseless. Show no mercy. They say mercy is for the weak. I never believed in this seriously, but in our case, it will be a million times better not to show mercy."
"Show her her faults. Show her where she was wrong. Point out the things that she has ruined, and the things she never got good at. Pick on her, if you may call it that. But. Know, that because you were the one who told her, and because (as she says) she has feelings for you, because of that, she will understand. Her sorrow will soon come to an end, and she will try to improve at everything she was told she was not good at. Making sure good things stay as they are, and lesser things become better."
Andrew nodded, separated his hands, and turned to look at where Solidus was.
There was no one there.
"Thank you, Solidus. As always, you have been a great help. I shall take into consideration Jack's words, and merge them with your advice to come up with the most profitable use of both, I assure you."
Solidus smiled, and made a short bow.
"I am always here, when you require my aid. And to be quite honest, young one, I am always here, even if you do not require my aid, nor if i do not require yours. I am just.. Always here"
Andrew smiled at the empty room.
