But here, both races are on equal terms and can live freely. (...) Under these circumstances, even if I am able to relay useful information back to the Berman Empire, it likely wouldn't be received well. But personally... No, as a simple living being, I've learned how fundamentally important this is. (...) I am coming to a disturbing conclusion. This could be an act of treason against my homeland..."''
