>>5719706Diana knows us very, very well. Training together as wing-sisters, and learning to perform the Triangle Attack together means you get to understand each other pretty deeply. And I know one thing's for sure: if we don't try and resolve this now, Diana will never bring it up ever again, and that would be a terrible thing to carry forever.
Regardless of our choice, it won't bring Shelley back. And anything we say certainly won't make Diana happy-- we both just lost a wing-sister, after all. That's like losing a sister and your left wing (in more ways than one) all at once. But to just sweep this under the rug now would reflect on us poorly, not just as a commander, but as a friend.
So we'll take the L here. It's only fair.
>>5719788Tree didn't explicitly state it, I don't think, but it's easy enough to follow along. If we had fought for the Alliance, we wouldn't have had support from the Faerghus Pegasus Knights-- we would've likely had to fight Ingrid during the big clash in the center, too. And of course, it goes without saying that without her, we would've been killed on the first turn.
