( Emilia di Carlo has seen better days, by the look of her. Her battle leathers are torn, soot and cuts still on her face — but she doesn't give in to the exhaustion just yet, nor the bile in her throat. First, she addresses the people of Alem, dignified and resolute. )

Prince Haiva sacrificed himself and leaves his sister, the young Cle-Florens, spared.

I was witness.

( A pause, then, as she allows that to sink in. )

Hell is sealed.

You fought with valor so others might live. I'm glad to have fought beside you, and will remember your fallen just the same.

If you've yet to evacuate, the time is now. Hassir awaits.

[Fair enough, man. Nacho can't really argue with that. Transparency doesn't come naturally to him -- he's working on it, okay, but it is really not his strong suit -- but he can't fault someone for wanting to know who he's asking for. He'd want to know, too.

Since Wei Wuxian has indicated the conversation is over, Nacho only really has one word to say, and it doesn't require much of a response:]

Fine.

[You owe him big time, Jimmy.]
