"If only it were possible."

"In truth, our command... Is preoccupied with their own tasks, many of which they do not share with me or the rest of the legionnaires. And in those that they do, I often struggle to see the point in. Recovering old, non-functioning relic ships. Or dedicating a significant portion of our forces to rescuing this "inn". While being unable to show any involvement in the liberation of Erie, which has always been our priority since I joined."

"But I can organize the men under my immediate command into a strike force when it matters. Until then, I will be present in Pennsylvania personally on my gunboat."

"As for the words from those hypocritical traitors who are now poisoning Liberty with cardamine... I think you have an understanding of what is happening just from the name of the woman in the logs they provided. I can tell you more when we meet if necessary, but I think we both still have a gaping wound from that person, and we share that understanding. In my case, it just so happened that... Whether intentionally or not, the knife was twisted. But I have only myself to blame for my naivety, and ultimately there is no reason to seek petty vengeance. We need to move on, so I will let go of this. My sister urged me to do just that."

"I'm glad Emilia is there with you. Thank you for keeping her safe."
