Before the final battle, Aleikreus addresses the Administrator as \u0026#34;my young creator\u0026#34; and asks whether they are ready to abandon Terra, while Nepharis describes the Administrator as one who resisted the \u0026#34;exiled ones\u0026#34; through Originium.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese exchanges only make sense after M3\u0026#39;s final conversation aboard the Dijiang.
