“…you were a good kid… You didn’t deserve the end you got, and I’m sorry I couldn’t keep you safe. I cut down as many as those bastards that killed you as I could, but… There was too many of them then. Too many of them now. I regret that I couldn’t get you back home to your mother alive, as much as I regret being unable to even get your body back to the Marsh.

“I just wish that those I killed would grant you some sort of peace, but in the end… In the end, things didn’t change. We lost. And we won’t know the full extent of our losses until this war is over.”
