"What?" Who said anything about love? Zelda had a love, a Hero of her own. Ramza had never wanted to be that. He had wanted to be the servant of a goddess who really saw the world, who cared for the innocent. But the world was as cruel and unrelenting to the gods as it was to their creations, it seemed.
"But she did not die protecting the world. She died pointlessly, because a crazed man turned an innocent's hand against her for no reason other than to break us."
The Shadow turned away from them. "It happens over and over again. Innocents die, and the world does not change. There is no higher purpose to it. Any author of a "greater plan" is long dead. If there is any justice, it would be in letting this world die for its crimes, and hope that the worlds we spare in doing so are less corrupt."
Ramza looked to Jack and Rialynn helplessly. "That...is not true, is it? We have to fight... for the people. They did not make the Ancients' choice." So, how was he supposed to integrate the Shadow without accepting despair?
