Oh damn shit just got real
Humphrey: Master Mathiu...
Viktor: What happened?
Liukan: Are you all right?
Flik: Sanchez! Damn you! What have you done? Why did you light the oil before receiving orders? Answer me, Sanchez!
Sanchez: I'm sorry, Master Flik. I have been deceiving you all this time.
Flik: What!
Sanchez: I have been in the employ of the Emperor since the War of Succession, 7 years ago.
Flik: Then you're the spy!
Sanchez: That is right. In the days of the War of Succession, His Majesty was a wonderful man. And like everyone else, I swore allegiance to him.
Flik: When the hideout was attacked and Odessa... Are you to blame for Odessa's death?!
At this point Flik has his head down and quakes with rage.
Sanchez: That was the result. I won't deny it. But my heart was in pain. Being with you people, I began to question myself. Who's right? What should I do? Ultimately, I chose to remain loyal to the Emperor. At my age, it's difficult to change one's way of life. I'm sorry about Lady Odessa...
Flik: Don't you dare mention her name. You haven't the right.
Sanchez: I understand.
Sanchez: Yes, Master. I have no regrets. But please remember one thing. I like you. All of you. Master Flik, you are immature. But that immaturity, that honesty, was something I coveted. And I'm sure that is why Lady Odessa loved you...
Flik: Sanchez! Prepare to die!
Liukan: Are you all right?
Mathiu: If you kill Sanchez now, and the troops find out that he was a spy, the morale of the Liberation Army will plummet. Administer the punishment later. Right now, we must prepare the Army and march to Gregminster.
Liukan: Don't be ridiculous, Master Mathiu. You're badly injured. If you move...
Mathiu: There is a thing called flow in this world. There is a thing called timing in warfare. If we lose this opportunity, we will never defeat the Empire! Commander Mute, you must decide.
Liukan: In any case, we'd better return to the castle.
In one of those circumstances that don't get addressed outside of the game engine, one little stab from a knife in Sanchez's liver-spotted hands is enough to mortally wound Mathiu, while everyone else has gotten blasted by magic, slashed by Sonya's naginata, and half-eaten by monsters... and they're no worse for wear. lol y didn't u just use a pheonix down on Aeris
