(Hector’s story)
Hector:
“Mark. We can’t count on the captured Caelin soldiers to be able to fight. We’ll have to protect them as much as possible. What!? That chill feeling… Someone’s watching… and wants me dead! No sense in worrying, though. I’ll deal with it when it happens. Let’s go, Mark!”

(Hector’s story)
Legault:
“…… Who? Oh, it’s you, is it, Mark? You caught me unawares and looking stupid. It’s just that I AM a former Black Fang member. And I was a bit wrapped up in some silly emotions. Nothing for you to worry about. Direct me as you will.”

“Mark… I’m sure you already know, Hector’s as strong as they come. But…I’m worried. I’ve known him since we were kids, and… you’ve probably seen it, too.

Renault:
“You… Your name is, Mark, isn’t it? I’ll wager you don’t trust me. You think I look shady, don’t you? Don’t let it bother you. It’s the truth… Mark… Nergal is powerful. But he is still human, and these morphs were made by that same human… Victory is not impossible. …I know this to be true.”
