So...if we take everything we know from what I saw and what you said happened, it means the people we know escaped are Rean, Elliot, Fie and you.

[He's had a lot of time to think about this and perhaps quietly accept that things may not go very well for him. But at least knowing SOMEONE escapes besides Rean gives him hope. Even if he can't do anything to stop the coming war, there'll be someone there to help Rean.]

That will have to do for now.

But I'm glad you're here, Machias. I've picked up enough knowledge from being here and met a lot of good people, so I should definitely be able to help you out.
