"Though I can no longer return to my homeland, my exile can be considered a rebirth for me, my comrades, and the subjects that still believe in me." "There is a phrase has been on the walls of the Fortress of Meropide: 'If a man will not work, he shall not eat.' Everyone here does there part to live and earn their keep for a better life." "I see myself as neither a good person, nor a complete villain. I'm just another soul, still living on in this world just like you and everyone else."
