137. : Jenevelle is no more. She never left those dark woods - it was Shadowheart who emerged. This woman gave birth to you, but I made you. I am your Mother.devnote
94. Player: Why are you doing this? She didn't need to know.
57. : A sacrifice is not a sacrifice if it has no meaning. This is the final step - snuff out the last embers of your old life, so that you can finally be who you were meant to be. devnote
34. : Kill them, for me. Then I will take the memories away from you again. Loss will heal you, and you will be my right hand, at last.devnote

93. : She can. She must.devnote
38. Player: You're a monster, not a goddess.
143. : I am neither. I am nothing. I am the empty room. The dreamless sleep. The shadow's shadow. devnote

44. Player: Kill them, Shadowheart. They'll be forgotten again, soon enough.
114. : They're my parents... I don't know if I can.devnote

116. : All the times you stood in this room, wondering why this pair seemed so familiar. All the times you honed your skills on them.devnote
73. : They remember everything. The pain. The pleading. Their torturer, wearing their daughter's face. End their nightmare. Give them peace.devnote
10. Player: Finish this. End their suffering.
