The Soothsayer: The cup you choose to fill has no bottom. It is time to stop this madness.
Lord Shen: And why on Earth would I do that?
The Soothsayer: So your parents can rest in peace.
Lord Shen: My parents… hated me. Do you understand? They wronged me. And… I will make it right.
The Soothsayer: They loved you. They loved you so much that having to send you away killed them.
Lord Shen: The dead exist in the past, and I must intend to the future.
