No, damn it, they were so close to finding a peaceful solution! Ramza could not allow this to descend into chaos without making an effort to reclaim their tentative understanding with Palitutu.
"But must Garland truly die to see our plan through to the end? In a few months' time, I shall have the power of the Freelancer class, and others have the power of the Onion Knight. If we send a force to face him while others go through the Rift to face the Avatars, we can do it without killing him and destroying the failsafe. We need only delay him until the deed is done, and we have the power for that."
Ramza refused to believe they needed to kill Garland. It was pointless to do so.
"I know you will not consent to surrendering your power or freedom, but do not make us fight you. Bloodshed will not aid anyone, whereas cooperation may well win the day."
