War. Power. I’m forced to sit at this desk, work with my sister, walk beside my husband. They say decide this and that, but I don’t decide anything. My decisions are forced on me. I change people’s lives and things get done – it’s like a mountain moving forward, but not because I tell it to.

[... …]

I shall pounce on every mistake my enemy makes! (Rings the bell once.) War is so full of chances! I only need a little luck.
