CHAPTER 6

"They don't care about you, you know."

"I don't know. They do. They care about me. They care for me."

"They don't care. They're doing their jobs, but they think about how the war is coming. Not you. What are you going to do? How can you win? You're outnumbered."

"We can do it. We can just reason with Dream."

"This is Tommy's fault."

"He's just a kid."

"Children are dangerous. Unpredictable. A waste of resources. They are easily turned."

"Tommy won't turn, he basically started the thing."

"It's his fault."

"He didn't know. He just misses our dad. He's been gone for a while. Longer than Techno."

"You're nothing without the King's Blade. There's no hope."

"The Blade isn't supposed to be family, anyway. It's better that my personal guard isn't family."

"He's more than a guard. He's your entire army."

"I know that almost the entire force that got shipped out is dead, and he's holding his own, but he's the only good one we sent. We needed the others here. And now we have them, for this."

"It's not enough."

"We'll make it enough."

"You'll kill them all."

"I won't."

"You'll be responsible. And you'll lose."

"I won't!"

"You will. And you'll regret it."

"I won't lose."

"You're right."

"I am?"

"You'll win. But you'll be the only one."

"No, people will be alive, L'manburg will still be alive!"

"..."

"Believe what you want. We'll see who's right."

"What does that mean?"

"See you soon, King Wilbur."

"What does that mean? What does that mean? Please, what does that mean?"
