[It's Lorelei. For those who haven't encountered him yet, he looks remarkably (one could say exactly!!) like an older, adult Asch or Luke. Right now he looks fairly sober.]
It might be easy, with how things have gone recently, to give into despair and believe none of us are ever getting out of this place. I have chosen to believe that we will, and that our recent efforts against one of our captors proves that where there is a will, there is a way.
We simply weren't prepared enough this time.
[He frowns faintly.]
But aside from that. There is very little I can offer anyone here as consolation. We made our effort, and we failed. ... But I can offer this. Should we ever escape this Tower, should we lose these collars and regain the power that belongs to us.. ... I can't save your worlds. I can't repair the loss of life that's happened there.
But I can repair mine.
[There's no sense of bragging here at all.]
If ... we can't find a way to restore all worlds lost, but find a way to escape, then Auldrant will be open to any and all survivors of the Tower. You don't have to take up the offer, I will not force you. There will be those who would prefer to have their native homes or nothing at all. But for those of you who feel otherwise ... I offer what I can. And I can offer my world. It won't be your first homes, but it will be a home, somewhere to return to that won't ask who you are or what you are or even what you did. Everyone deserves a home. Everyone.
We just have to survive long enough to get there. Don't give up.

[Laziness, etc.]

furthermore, I do not wish to see you overexert yourself if you can manage this. You promise us a miracle and while it is a fine thing you offer, I would like to not see it abused if you really could restore your world.
[blah blah]
It doesn't matter if it works here or not. I have no intention of using that in the Tower for Tower purposes, my resources are too limited with this collar on. It will however work just fine on my world. Auldrant is what is required in order to allow me to do such things. I can not 'overexert' myself using it, as my natural state is not capable of exhaustion. All I need is enough Seventh Fonons. And the Planet Storm, which is still active even now, will see to that. Think of it less as ... mmm, pulling off miracles and more akin to asking someone if they have had an opportunity to tell if they can breathe. I didn't offer to fix anyone else's world for a reason.
