Lypha lays in her cot alone.
Lypha (thinking): It’s not like they can understand… I don’t want to be the only one who knows… But we’re split two ways: Those who the war directly affected… and the others. Solla’s a high Priestess to her people. They never leave their homeworld. The skies are sacred to them. She just volunteered them for this war, it wasn’t their problem. And Koji? Nice as he is, no one he knew died. He doesn’t even go into battle. He’s just a pilot, a smuggler. It’s not personal to them. They can’t imagine. You can’t imagine this.
A flashback to two humans in camouflage, one is holding a gun to the back of a Hekshanian, blindfolded and kneeling on the floor. The Hekshanian is killed.
Lypha: You can barely survive it.
