This is a follow-up to [find that memory]. The short of it is that Jay has just helped someone he hates and fears kidnap one of his closest friends with the intention to sell her to the highest bidder as the key to unlocking the Legacy's weapons potential, essentially blowing up everything about his previous lif and, presumably, going back to Solon, in exchange for the Oresoren's safety.
Of course, then they come storm the compound and Solon orders them all killed.
Jay: That's not what you said before! I did what you asked! Now leave the Oresoren alone! Solon: Hmm? I don't recall anyone making such a promise. Are you sure you weren't dreaming, perhaps? Jay: Shut up!
[Solon hits Jay, causing him to fall to one knee]
Jay: *Cough* *Cough*
Solon: You'd best watch your mouth. I have a short temper. Surely you know that by now, hmm?
[Jay rises to his feet]
Jay: You're nothing but scum!
[Solon slaps Jay twice and punches him to the ground, then kicks him]
Solon: I just told you to watch your mouth!
[He kicks Jay again]
Solon: You're not very bright, are you, you ungrateful brat? Shirley: Stop it! No!
[Jay gets up as black mist surrounds Solon, then disappears. Solon hits Jay to the ground and Jay drops something]
Solon: Hmm? What's this?...A leaf?
[Jay gets up and dives on the leaf, Solon kicks him out of the way and grabs the leaf]
Solon: Oh, I know. This is for the Star Festival. That's rather human behavior, for an instrument of killing. Jay: Give it back... Solon: Let's see...What could be written on it?... Heh heh heh...Ah hah hah! Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah! Jay: Grr... Solon: You're a comic genius! Are you trying to make me die laughing?! Jay: Shut up! Solon: This is too good! It's a masterpiece! You, Radiant! What do you think he wrote? Do you want to know? I know you do. Well then I'll go ahead and tell you. Are you ready for a good laugh? He says, "I want a family!" Who wants a family? You? Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah!
[Jay stands up]
Jay: What's so funny?!
Solon: Why, this, of course! It's very funny! It's absolutely hilarious! How could anyone not laugh at this? How could something like you ever have a family? You're a murderer! Jay: Go to hell! Solon: If you want it back, then go ahead. Take it from me! "I want a family." You want a family, do you? A "family"?! Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah! Jay: What's wrong with that? What's so bad about that?! Solon: You should know better than anyone! You're an instrument. A device. A machine. And machines do not have families! Jay: Is it really so wrong for me to want a family?! Solon: Yes, it is! Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah!
