[He nods.] Right. But it ain't that simple. I imagine I'd be on the run all the time, stayin' just outta the reach of the Alliance. N' the defeat itself... well, if I know myself, I reckon it'd take me a fair cut of the rest of my life to come to terms with. Admit I probably put too much faith in the wrong places.

Just explains a lot, is all.

Easier to say these things from the winning side, I wager. You probably never hear me talk like this.
