Right now, her major ally is Luciela, and she wouldn't be much easier, would she? ...you'd know better than me.
I've spoken to-- [Arthur. But she doesn't want to drag him into the politics and wars of her world.] --I've had conversations about how to approach problems with her. After we talked about it, I thought... anyway. It's been suggested that the soldiers from our world should work side-by-side with warriors from other worlds to handle her. And I do agree, but. It's also been suggested that as long as the number of lives lost through inaction remains smaller than the lives we would lose through engaging with her, action should not be taken.
...I agree with that, too, as a commander. But the time to mobilize the Patrol is different than the time to move as a soldier. And the way Riful works... she could gather a small army of powerful awakened beings before it ever became technically justifiable to move against her.
Normally, I would speak to Teresa and suggest that we become more proactive in dealing with her. But I don't think... without Clare, I don't think we can manage. Even if we could have before, and I'm not sure about that.
[A long explanation that just brings her to...]
All of it just reminds me of what I've been thinking for weeks now. That I could spare all of those lives, at least in theory.
If you would help me, the way you offered to.
...I asked you to, once before. I mean, before everything.
