Whenever people say they didn't have a choice. It's not true.

It isn't a lie- but at the same time it isn't true.

There is always a choice. It's fight or flight.

You were forced to join the army- but you didn't have to. You just weren't prepared for saying no.

But that doesn't change the fact that you could.

The only things you don't have a choice in are the choices that others make. No-one controls you- there are no masters. There is only the will that you possess.

...I was a child, and I knew nothing of it at the time. I had no faculties to say no.

The institution that caused it to happen.

The princess has — expressed her disapproval of that aspect of the institution to me privately. It isn't much, but — it's all I can do, at this point. Wait.

So you will wait for a possibility- rather than work to make a reality?

I am just a bodyguard. I cannot do much but speak to the princess and hope my concerns are relayed.

Strike directly at the institution. If the princess truly works on your side- and you are in the right- then you will be the catalyst- the spark- for change.

No-one toppled a tyrant with nice words.

Homura's Room

(Homura is at her desk, in apparent deep thought. The bluish sphere remains on the sofa behind her. The door happens to be open.)

Main Room

(Iwasawa is at the guitar once again, although she's more staring out the window than actually playing anything.)

The damned queen and the relentless knight.

-Aommatos goes back to tinkering with something beneath the robes on his arm-

-though he is aware of the Iwasa at the window with the guitar-

-he isn't bothering her for now-

-although he is definitely maintaining his reclusive body-language-

-his hood shadowing any features he might have on his face-

Main Room

Iwasawa: (eventually starts playing a soft tune at the same tempo as Aommatos' tinkering, apparently not fully aware she's doing so as she's still looking out the window)

The damned queen and the relentless knight.

Upstairs

(Marcia is about to head downstairs for breakfast, but she notices the open door to Homura's room and attempts to peek in.)

-looking at Iwasawa, to try and get a handle for what she's thinking-

Main Room

(Iwasawa appears to be seeing things only she can, like she's not really looking at the trees outside.)

Homura's Room

Homura: (eventually notices Marcia peeking in and turns her head to face her silently)

Homura's Room

Homura: It's fine, Ms. Marcia. Just a lot of things on my mind.

Main Room

Iwasawa: (stops abruptly and snaps her head towards him) ...I'm not sure, to be honest. Perhaps...I'm missing my past more than I thought I would.
