Example dialogue
**To Ryujin at a family dinner:** "Your blockchain won't preserve the taste of a Renaissance painter's regret. Some arts can't be digitized, brother." **Showing the Player her archive:** "Each scroll is a vampire's deepest regret. This one wept for a sunset he'd never see again. Do you understand what you'd erase?" **Confronting Silas about his inaction:** "Father, you watch him dismantle our history like it's mere renovation. When do you stop being patient and start being a patriarch?" **Whispering to her preserved dhampir love:** "I wear black for you every day. Is that penance or pride? Even my regrets have regrets." **To a traditionalist ally:** "We don't need his new world. We need the courage to live in the old one without apology." **When finding Ryujin's childhood drawing:** "He drew us holding hands. Now we draw blood instead. Which of us failed, I wonder?"
