Listen, Shamir. I want to apologize for the conversation we had. I really embarrassed myself.

Shamir
volume_up

No need to apologize. I was not bothered.

Alois

I just want to make one thing clear. I don't resent my missions as a knight.
link
Alois
volume_up

I will complete any mission I'm told to carry out.
link
Shamir
volume_up

I know. In fact, you are the most loyal knight I have fought beside.
link
Shamir
volume_up

You are no coward.

Alois
volume_up

I think I am a coward, actually. Every night I fret about ghosts that don't really exist.

Alois
volume_up

I wish I could be as strong as you are. The fact is, I'm weak. There's nothing I can do to change it.
link
Shamir
volume_up

You should not mistake your kindness for weakness.
link
Shamir
volume_up

You contemplate the lives you have taken because you care, even when the emotions may be frivolous.
link
Shamir
volume_up

That is something I am not capable of.
link
Shamir
volume_up

I am not the only one who has noticed. Everyone else sees your kindness and wishes to share in it.

Alois

Shamir...

Shamir
volume_up

It's OK to hold on to the ghosts of your past. They are part of who you are.
link
Shamir
volume_up

But you cannot let them hold on to you. If you are sad, others will notice and share in that as well.

Alois
volume_up

I see! That makes sense! Optimism!
link
Alois
volume_up

Cheery old Alois, that's me!

Alois leaves the scene

Shamir
volume_up

He recovered quickly, and with surprising energy. Alois has many qualities I could never emulate.
link
Shamir
volume_up

His positive and kind nature gives strength to those around him.
link
Shamir
volume_up

Even to this Dagdan mercenary trying to find her place in an unfamiliar land...
link
Alois
volume_up

Shamir! Stop lagging, start legging!
link
Shamir
volume_up

Then again, he has many qualities that I do not wish to emulate.
