Orbiter
The Man in The Wall: Haha!

Lua
The Man in The Wall: Psst... Hey.

The Man in The Wall: Haha!

The Man in The Wall: Hey, kiddo!

Lotus: I am not who you think I am. Ballas: But of course, you are. Imprisoned, just as she was. The Man in The Wall: Haha!

The Sentient Chamber
Ballas: No... No... My beauty, my grace, my humanity--

Ballas: H-hello? No. No hope. Ballas: Ah... Only suffering under her eye.

Ballas: But... she gave me the gift of life! Ballas:Why would I betray her?

Ballas: Fool! This... this is no gift! Ballas: She stole my death! My perfect death. Ballas: Such is her power... over me. Over the devil!

Ballas: We saw what we wanted, those devils and I. Ballas: A lover... a mother! But now I know. Ballas: She is neither. She's a hawk - calling with sparrow's song.

Ballas: A viper, blending into wood. Ballas: And her venom... spreads not into flesh, but into your heart.

Ballas: Those devils! What has their great awakening accomplished - but the destruction of potential allies? Ballas: Don't they see?

Ballas: Love must die-- Ballas: --As Margulis did... when I sent her to the Jade light. Ballas: And the Lotus... just some cloud in the sky, just some shape they imagined. Ballas: Only the Sentient is real.

(If Ballas spots the player)
 * Ballas: Who-who's there?
 * Ballas: What? What is this?
 * Ballas: Oh? Is there someone...?

(If Ballas loses sight of the player)
 * Ballas: Nothing, so...
 * Ballas: I'm just confused... uh...
 * Ballas: Only shadow... only shadow...

Ballas: Only Natah. Ballas: So... tell me devil. Do you understand what must be done? Ballas: The Paracesis. The Sentient slayer... Hurry! Take this... the idea of it... it is the only way your war can end.
