"I will not be swayed. Even your actions have consequences, my love. For your defiance, you are exiled from Elysium, and shall no longer serve as my Chosen."

There is nothing more that follows, but Gale's grip on the symbol tightens. After a few moments of silence, he stands, and his expression has shifted from somber to something far softer— grief, perhaps, if one had to put a name to it.]
