Did you tell the true to Strider?

I'm just curious what you told to Strider knowing he was in the afterlife?

I was lucky to have saved the game before the sequence, so I could try the two, but at first, I first decided to lie to Striker and tell him everything went great, thinking it was a way for him to leave his mind in peace.

But, the dialog or the acting made me feel like he didn't really believe it, so I checked the other way by telling him we failed and the Monolith was back, and the acting was even better this way, but it's kind of hard thinking about this fact that he will think in the afterlife that all was for nothing.

This game has such great emotional moment!
