“- It’s good to see you, Alina. (Aleksander)
- You’re not real. (Alina)
- The Sea Whip has made you stronger. I always told you, you were meant for more. Power suits you. (Aleksander)
- Stay away from me. (Alina)
- I’m trying to protect you from the fighting. (Aleksander)
- You lured me away from my friends. (Alina)
- To keep you safe. (Aleksander)
- To kill them. (Alina)
- Only the Lantsovs. But my creations are somewhat unpredictable. Not unlike you. (Aleksander)
- Get out of my head. (Alina)
- Why must you be so difficult? I’m only doing this because I care about you. Let me help you. I’ll be back for you. I have no intention of hurting you. You must know that by now. (Aleksander)
- Forgive me if I don’t take you at your word. (Alina)
- I was honest about what mattered. (Aleksander)
- Like creating the Fold? (Alina)
- Your obsession with the Fold is naive. Destroying it won’t solve Ravka’s problems. They’ve hated us and hunted us long before the Fold existed. I was there. Now stop this, please. And come with me. We’ll rule together side by side. I promised that you and I would change the world. And I intend to keep that promise. (Aleksander)
- That is never going to happen. (Alina)
- How do you see this playing out? You and your Lantsov Prince happily ever after? Your faithful tracker curled up at the foot of your throne. I have seen what you truly are, and I have never turned away. I never will. Can they say the same? (Aleksander)
- They’re not the ones obsessed with power and control. (Alina)
- Power must be controlled. And you are playing a very dangerous game with it. (Aleksander)
- You don’t want me to tear down the Fold, because if I do, I’ll destroy the only thing you have left. (Alina)
- Have it your way.” (Aleksander)
