- Hmph!
- Bored, are we?
- Training is useless. Swords are for killing.
- I can see why you'd find it vexing. To you, real battles
[cdb]are a source of sustenance.
- It's easy to forget how some people welcome this
[cdb]war—especially the Death Knight.
- Without the war, I would just be killing someone
[cdb]less deserving.
- When it ends, our contract expires.
- Then I face my punishment.
- You're still adamant about that? I agree that—
[cdb]circumstances aside—a crime like yours warrants
[cdb]some kind of punishment.
- But there are other ways to go about it. For example,
[cdb]you could atone for your sins by doing good in the
[cdb]world.
- Or is anything less than perdition off the table?
- It's not as if the members of House Bartels
[cdb]were completely innocent, after all.
- ...
- That is what you want. Not me.
- It is my future. I choose how I live and die.
- ...
- Well, I'm sorry to hear you'll be leaving us, but I
[cdb]do respect your resolve.
- I'm pleased you're choosing to live and face the
[cdb]consequences instead of taking the craven's way out.
- Let them lock me up. And if I'm ever forgiven...
- Let them lock me up. It is for the best.
- This is my path. If I die in a cell, so be it.
- Well, whatever you seek for yourself, I hope you
[cdb]find it. I truly do.
- We all deserve to be the architects of our own lives.
- I believe that so fiercely that I started a war to remake
[cdb]the world under that ideal.
- You did so much for me. I'm sorry it came to this.
- Don't apologize. If anything, I'm grateful.
- Thank you, Emile. I mean, Jeritza.
- ...
- Ah, so I won't get scolded for saying the wrong name?
That's a step forward.
- Ugh...
- Whatever you and I expect from tomorrow, we have
[cdb]to keep fighting for it. Are you with me?
- I am.
