"Hmph. The impact of our actions may indeed be fleeting, but meaningless? I think not."

Just like last time, Jade wasn't expecting to change Kalki's mind. Not after all this. But what she said couldn't go unchallenged. For better or worse, he was here to voice the painful lessons that had burdened all of his comrades -- his friends -- throughout their journey across Auldrant.

He rather wished it wasn't him, knowing it would have meant more coming from Luke. Even so...

"I'm certain I told you this before. No matter what the world, death is inevitable. Only by accepting that can people decide how to live their lives and reach their full potential. That's what it means to be alive."

Of course, being Jade, he couldn't resist taking a verbal jab at the enemy.

"Kalki... I'm beginning to think you are more afraid of pain and death than anyone else."
