Gerald once said the Sarkaz have no home, only war that follows them wherever they go. They swore fealty to their lord in the hope of finding a home of their own.
He left because he became disappointed.
I did not dare to ask why he was disappointed.
We were full of hope when we first came here.
We were happy despite the hardship.
But now...
Now, they are leaving. Is it because life here has disappointed him in the same way?
What about me?
I am watching the things I treasured burn before my eyes.
We can't go any further! The fire and smoke are too much...
Federico
You can stay behind.
Federico
I suggest not speaking loudly to avoid smoke inhalation.
Raimund
And who's the reason I have to speak?
Federico
You don't need to follow me.
Raimund
I don't trust you. I'm keeping an eye on you.
Raimund
Wait, did you hear that?
The fire continues to burn, and the gun-wielding statue creaks ominously.
It casts a scorching shadow on Raimund, as though passing judgment on the Sarkaz who dared to set foot in a Sankta sacrarium, as it begins to topple in the fire.
Raimund
—!
Federico
Get back!
There is a sharp cracking sound, but the expected pain does not come.
The Executor stands before the Sarkaz, his gun held high.
Federico
This way, before anything else falls!
Raimund
Your arm...
Raimund
No, wait a second, you destroyed the statue?!
Federico
I did not destroy it, only changed its direction to prevent it from hitting you.
Raimund
But it's your statue...
Federico
That does not matter.
Raimund
......
Federico
The fire continues to grow. It's atypical.
Federico
Although furnishings like wooden benches are flammable, the initial location of the fire was unusual. It's possible that something else caused the fire.
They've gone to help at the abbey. Should we go too?
Concerned Sarkaz
Stefano was good to us. Even if we're leaving...
Angry Sarkaz
You go if you want to, but keep me out of this!
Angry Sarkaz
They've got their Lateran friends! Let them help. We're not welcome there.
Lemuen
(Well, guess I just got into the habit of hiding myself.)
Lemuen
(Was there an argument? Things weren't like this when Oren and I first came...)
Concerned Sarkaz
Don't be mad. Leyla didn't mean to say that...
Angry Sarkaz
She definitely thought it, even if she didn't mean to say it!
Angry Sarkaz
She said I stole her winter clothes! Me, a thief? Taking care of this stuff has been my responsibility for years!
Concerned Sarkaz
Man...
Angry Sarkaz
She thinks we're an eyesore! They all think so! They never treated us the same as them!
Angry Sarkaz
They hate us because Stefano refused to abandon us and return to Laterano! I see them for who they are now. We're the only ones who thought of us as family!
Concerned Sarkaz
......
Angry Sarkaz
I hesitated when Gerald wanted to leave. Now, I realize he was right.
Angry Sarkaz
They want us gone? We'll be gone!
Concerned Sarkaz
Can we really get out of here, though? The scouts haven't come back...
Angry Sarkaz
Still better than waiting. Next time this happens, I won't be able to stop myself from punching someone.
