“You will never be entirely free at my side. None of us are free, especially in times of conflict. You will forever be a weakness to exploit. But I will never lock you away. I will always act out of your best interest, even if that interest misaligns with my own desires. If one day you decide you want to start over on the other side of the world, I will pour my resources into getting you as far away from me as you desire. Even though that would tear me up inside.”
