Yes, she had seen the bodies of the heroes through the first High Summoner's eyes -- those images never too far from memory. She reflected upon that time now more than ever, her head bowing as she listened to Chrom's words, hoping that he was wrong.

"Shouldn't they... at least have the chance to decide their own fate, then?" her reply came in a small voice, "I -- don't believe that you truly wish to see them fall."

Maybe she was wrong. Maybe he was a complete and total monster, but... maybe he wasn't, either.
