Teku: You have to win the people.
Ryo: The people obey.
Teku: Because they *fear* you. And that’s fine in peacetime, when all you need for them to do is follow the rules and pay their taxes. But now, you’re asking for them to make sacrifices. For you.
Ryo: For the Empire!
Teku: You *are* the Empire now. Give them something to believe in. Inspire them, and they will follow you to the ends of the galaxy.
