Alina: Maybe it's nicer inside the Little Palace, but out here, when you're different, when you look different, everything's at risk of becoming a fight.
Ivan: Do you know why the Little Palace has walls in the first place, hmm? Because for years, being Grisha was a death sentence. At least now, thanks to General Kirigan, we're protected. Feared. And that's how we survive. Not by being overlooked, but by making them look and knowing you're powerful.
Alina: I've survived long enough without your protection, thank you.
Fedyor: But you wouldn't last a minute now that you are you. All of Ravka has been waiting for you.
Alina: I get it. The whole country wants to see the Fold gone.
Fedyor: But it's bigger than that. You are hope for the country, yes, but a myth come true for a Grisha. It was a Grisha who created the Fold. If a Grisha destroys it, maybe... maybe we wouldn't need those high walls to protect us anymore.
