Nagakura: Thats' why the Earth was...
Kodai: Is it true then? You did all of those horrid things, but only to save your home?
Dessler: ...Yes, so what? At this point, does any of it really matter? I no longer possess the authority I once did. I can make a wish to a Powerless God, or negotiate to strike a deal with Gatlantis. The odds aren't in my favor with either. And yet, despite that... I cannot stop. not ever.

Lord Shen: You were wrong, Soothsayer! We sail to victory tonight... your magic panda is clearly a fool!
Soothsayer: Are you certain it is the panda who is the fool? You just destroyed your ancestral home, Shen!
Lord Shen: A trivial sacrifice... when all of China is my reward!
Soothsayer: Then will you finally be satisfied? Will the subjugation of the whole world finally make you feel better?
Lord Shen: Hmmm, it's a start. I might also convert the basement into a dungeon.
Soothsayer: The cup you choose to fill has no bottom. It is time to stop this madness.

"My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing...death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose. It can only be called fate...That here, I would again gather the three with the crests..."
"Wilson Fisk has been arrested. I can barely believe it. The day I've planned for — dreamed of — is finally here... but for some reason, I hesitate. Can I really go through with this? Things will happen quickly if I give the word. My men will claim Fisk's arms, his explosives... his secrets. We'll use that knowledge to teach Norman true pain. He'll know what it is to see the things he loves most destroyed by his own hands... But achieving that end will mean giving up so much. Everything I've built here at F.E.A.S.T. — all the good I've done — could be wiped out if my plan succeeds. My chance is finally here yet still I hesitate... should I turn back? A part of me wants to... but the Demon is hungry... and I don't think I'm strong enough to hold it back..."
