Ashura: Over thirty years, and the war still haunts me.

Ashura: I almost don't want to say it, Player but... I was the assassin sent by the Republic. Me.

Ashura: The tunnels. They're dark. We got seperated. Picked off one by one. My teammates... some of them died on that mission.

Ashura: I was alone. I couldn't see, but I could hear. And I thought I heard her.

Ashura: The Umbraan Queen.

Ashura: I thought, "This is it. One blow, and all this fighting will be over."

Ashura: I attacked.

Ashura: My blade landed. But I was wrong. It wasn't the Queen.

Ashura: I... I killed her daughter. I killed<italic> a child</>.

Ashura: ...

Ashura: But it ended the war. Later, I had a son and... Well, that's why I never wanted Nuroo to join the military, to make the same mistakes I did.

Ashura: Ah, this is perfect.

Ashura: You know, since we had that little chat... my nightmares have gotten easier. I still wake up sweating, but... it's like she's there again.

Ashura: I think she knows I've got something to tell her. Bet she's been waiting for me to say it this whole time.

Ashura: She always had a knack for these things. And I know once I'd said it, she'd want me to tell Nuroo, too.

Ashura: Thank you, Player for helping me face the past. I'll let you know how it goes.

Dialogue with

Ashura: So, I went to Sabine's grave, and we had a nice talk. It's funny, Player. Even though she's gone, I know exactly what she'd say.

Ashura: She would've told me that everyone has regrets, and learning to live with them is how we grow.

Ashura: Same thing she'd say when I had nightmares. She was always pretty perceptive. Thinking of her gave me the strength to write my letter to Nuroo.

Ashura: This letter... this one... has everything.

Ashura: ...

Ashura: To be honest... I'm a little nervous to send it.
