3''VideoGame/{{RefleX}}'' is by far the most story-driven and {{dark|erAndEdgier}}est game in SITER SKAIN's ''VideoGame/TheTaleOfALLTYNEX'' series. Naturally, it's also the most depressing game in the trilogy.
4----
5* When [[spoiler:the Phoenix and its pilot are destroyed]] in Area 7, to the tune of [[http://siterskain.bandcamp.com/track/mortal-illness "Mortal Illness"]].
6** After completing the stage, thereby unlocking it for Area Select, go to Area Select and view the monologue for Area 7. [[spoiler:It's the pilot's last words.]]
7--> [[spoiler:"The enemy ship spread wings of energy and launched a brutal attack. My dying sight was my own ship, the Phoenix, spreading energy wings of its own. Earth had been devastated, leaving only a few surviving humans."]]
8* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_GqFLWpzq0 End of Reflection]]". [[spoiler:ZODIAC Ophiuchus]]'s last words in the track's corresponding monologue is what drives it home:
9--> "My fathers, Descendants of the [[{{Precursors}} Yuda]], I have fulfilled my objective and now [[HeroicSacrifice return to dust]] with the 12 souls. May peace reign forever, may mothers be loved and fathered be honored."
10* Also the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90TH_Ccdn98 ending theme]].
11* The ending itself. [[spoiler:ZODIAC Ophiuchus [[HeroicSacrifice destroys itself]] to erase the ZODIAC cores and prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again. Meanwhile, a large majority of the Earth and its population have been totaled, [[ApocalypseHow/{{Class2}} to the point where it will be centuries before humanity can muster up the technology to reach the "Mechanized Temple" again]].]]
