I told him to ask for help--he didn't seem to want it. He holds something in him that does not seek reason, does not wish to simply be at peace. He is desperate; he is vengeful.

He may not keep his word.

[Lengthy, deliberating pause.]

The people do not deserve to suffer. Let him have what he wants if he promises to do as he says. Let us see if he will hold honor even if for a little while. If the worst comes of this--we will stand together. As you have said, we will fight and hold true.

...Thank you. Though this decision involves a huge amount of risk, this may be the best possible choice for both sides. No one deserves to suffer.

...Berating him now we get nowhere though. Do as you must.
