Transcript
- Fernando: But why does it have to be me?
- Sebastián: Because it was always meant to be you. As it was your father.
- Fernando: I can't do it. I can't... kill the emperor!
- Sebastián: No one is asking you. All we're asking you to do is survive. And be ready.
- Fernando: Can't you take the lead? You're a governor! You have the Nyx behind you! And all those... mysterious family members, or whatever.
- Sebastián: I am not a... brave man, 'Nando -- or a leader. You don't get posted to Du Fu if you're a rallying point for heroes.
But I have my skills. And we all must fight with the weapons we're given, yes? - Sebastián: My Nyx and I, somos uña y carne. The empire's little outcasts.
They think we are just nerdy tinkerers on Du Fu, quietly making their gadgets. - Sebastián: But we pull many hidden layers in the empire that the family never sees. Yes-yes-yes. A quiet strength.
And that strength is now in your service. - Sebastián: I will send you what I can, 'Nando: openly and secretly.
And many other cousins stand ready to sacrifice 'everything for you. To see you stand up...
... AND LEAD US ALL. - Sebastián: But first... eat your soup.
