[ She smiles, but there's something quieter about it. ]
I was fighting a tyrant who'd trampled his own people, along with a bunch of others who wanted him stopped. But we couldn't weaken him. ... And that's when I heard this song, from one of our allies. It wasn't this... beautiful, graceful thing, it wasn't a demonstration of talent and technical skill, it was raw anger and sorrow and pain and he poured all of it into this.
And because of that, the tsar heard it and it resonated with him. It weakened him and it gave us the fighting chance we needed to take him down.
