Aw, sh*t.

My bad.

Do not miss again.

Many Guardians were sacrificed.

We must gather. Replenish.

Well, I really need to show you all how to savor a victory.

It is not a victory

if I do not have everything I want.

Lydia.

Not your concern.

Then you have seen her?

She's not amongst the dead.

But I will not stop until I bring her home.
