No-- Yuri!

[he reaches out for her, grabs hold of her arm despite the soldiers trying to drag her off.]

Yuri. You didn't see me here. Stay safe, promise me you'll do whatever you need to do, if it keeps you safe-- and you'd better protect her, or you better hope I never find you.

[they don't have much time.

so he does the hardest thing he's done in his life so far: he lets go of her, and hurries back to hermann's side.]

Gregor!

[As Yuri's dragged away, she keeps calling Gregor's name, until she can no longer be heard.

The Riven soldiers catch up. Sinclair and Gregor stand at the vanguard, with Hermann watching from a distance behind, ready to run when it suits her. As Sinclair deals with his share of the soldiers, another one attempts to run Gregor through with a spear.]

[cool! nothing matters right now. nothing but yuri staying alive, and now that's... out of his hands.

these are-- they're supposed to be his comrades. sinclair's comrades. in such a short time, everything's turned upside down.

gregor aims to deflect the spear, first, taking a more defensive position before he strikes back, and that 12 probably just illustrates that his heart's not really in it.]

[Gregor deflects the spear, but his half-hearted attack is easily blocked. Another soldier comes at him, and while he's potentially distracted with that one, the first soldier promptly stabs his spear through Gregor's chest.

Suffice to say, it will hurt quite a bit. In the face of Gregor's increasing nihilism, though, perhaps that pain won't mean anything. As a matter of fact, Gregor will feel his despair surge, washing over him like a wave, as his ring grows hot—and then he wakes up.]
