• See now, I've always enjoyed working here...
  
• You're right! You'll be so much better!
  
• August's right. You've got to have discipline.
  
• Eugen, I'm impressed. This is all so organised.
  
• *Maybe you'd better keep it short.*
  
• Would you like a hand getting up?
  
• I'm not going either.
  
• Gerhardt, the assassins were from Levasseur.
  
• It'll be back before long.
  
• No-one's asking us to give the land!
  
• The home front is going to be vibrant.
  
• You certainly seem -- dedicated?
  
• This is "goodbye" for now, then.
  
• And the people appreciate it.
  
• And I pray that you'll be safe over there, Eugen.
  
• He was talking about all the townspeople.
  
• Our 'future' will be fine either way!
  
• You think dying is going to help a friendship?!
  
• I don't think you're a bad person.

• You've achieved a lot!
  
• Okay.
  
• Can you-- stay with me tomorrow?
  
• Absolutely.
  
• Gerhardt and I are friends.
  
• Well, I think it's admirable.
  
• Gottfried does have a point, though.
  
• Hundreds?! How did that happen?
  
• What's it like serving with a nobleman?
  
• Sounds like somebody I used to know.
  
• I can't believe you are a 'model soldier'.

*Choose August Weil.*

• *I should've trusted him to take care of himself!*
  
• *Vermorel, in Levasseur.*
  
• *His rabbit Hilda.*
  
• *On his uniform's collar.*
  
• *He'd changed. He was a soldier.*
  
• You really think that's why this happened?
  
• I don't know what half those words mean.
  
• Wolf... I'm sorry. For everything.
  
• Marius-- Is this kind of thing normal?

Load 1

Choose Gerhardt Leer.

• He looks absolutely terrified.
  
• Don't worry about asking for help.
  
• I guess it takes all sorts.
  
• Any choice.
  
• Yeah. I'm not too thrown.
  
• I can't wait to see them.
  
• You did so well, Wolf.
  
• I don't have any leverage!
  
• It'd be crass to articulate otherwise.
  
• I was already planning to.
  
• You can always talk to me.
  
• I look forward to the day they aren't.
  
• And your 'reasons' are still a factor?
  
• It's always good to be prepared.
  
• Otto! Language!
  
• I'll be back tonight, Wolf.
  
• Walter, you really need to shut up.
  
• You get rid of your gun.
  
• How is he? Your friend? Ranvier?
  
• I'm only here because I was scared.
  
• Please.
  
• Okay. I'll put mine down first.
  
• From each according to their ability.
  
• I assume you're an anti-militarist.
  
• Shouldn't I have been left to die?
  
• *think of something else to say*

Choose Marius Sauer.

• What kind of punishment have you got?
  
• Be that as it may...!

• What do you see here?
  
• Seidel should be ready soon, right?
  
• But I don't want to stop coming here.
  
• I don't think I'd do that well.
  
• Marius is right. Wessling's different.
  
• I'll tell you what's going on in town.
  
• Nice to leave this place behind.
  
• I'm sure it's going to make a difference.
  
• I wouldn't be able to update you anymore.
  
• I promise I'll be safe as I am.
  
• He's not usually this bad.
  
• He's opposed to the war.
  
• It's not like you're a stretcher-bearer.
  
• Shooting himself isn't the right thing to do.
  
• He's just another Seidel.
  
• You'd be a good secretary. But.
  
• That was uncalled for, Marius.
  
• Dory, come here. I'm going to slap you.

Choose Gerhardt Leer.

• It actually isn't an awful plan.
  
• This isn't going to look good in my article.
  
• Is it everything you'd hoped it'd be?
  
• Kettle, save your energy.
  
• Maybe they think you're one of our spies.
  
• You wear the uniform well.
  
• Whatever happens... We're not safe.
  
• Yes, yes, very impressive.
  
• Eugen is recognised as a hero!
  
• We should also bring Wolf.
  
• Why were you so keen to get this stuff?
  
• So Deadtree's going to be lucrative?
  
• Did you give Eugen his 'message'?
  
• We'll have to all get a drink there.
  
• He's doing the Reinholdt family proud.
  
• The best one, right?
  
• I thought you were wounded!
  
• I'm so sorry about all that.
  
• Have you two spoken a lot...?
  
• I think it's heartfelt.
  
• *roll my eyes*
  
• Your predictions don't mean anything.
  
• 'Thanks', I guess.

✘︎ Save 1

Choose Gottfried Rahn.

• We all appreciate it.
  
• You've thought it all through, Helmut.
  
• You're so together now.
  
• It's nothing to fear.
  
• Don't do anything you'll regret.
  
• Eugen wouldn't want this.
  
• So long as it's only innocuous stuff.
  
• Any choice.
  
• I'll survive. I survive everything.
  
• *make a dash for the ladder*
  
• Like you were looking out for Klett?
  
• Because it's my duty.
  
• August would've wanted this!
  
• But it was dangerous. And misguided!

• Your brothers?
  
• Don't let Walter win!
  
• Don't die, Gottfried!
  
• Any choice.
  
• I've heard a lot of versions of it.
  
• I sort of hope so too.
  
• Dory, I was so scared.
  
• Dory rescued me! He saved me!

• You've got horrendous priorities.
  
• You're not August.
