Learn their names, Maketh Tua. You took their lives to climb the ranks of your Imperial military order. You owe them at least that.

[Brennan has faced down death before. She does nto deserve it now either, but she will stand tall and take it. She will defy this broken Empire's rules. If her death can help one of its child soldiers to break free, then it will have had meaning. She will have made a difference.

She does not close her eyes as Maketh takes aim.]
