Yeah, it's... not a pleasant thing to think on. Zulf would know, considering his background. He just stays quiet for a moment, letting Ryu have a few seconds to himself, before speaking again.

"Caelondia technically won the war. However, both sides had lost many lives and used up a lot of resources. It was much harder on the Tazal Terminals, although I suppose I would be biased. However, the loser in a war has to give up a lot of things to the other side. A smaller military, land... that sort of thing." He takes in another deep breath of smoke, letting it curl heavy in the pit of his lungs and tighten in his throat.

"That is why the Point Lemaign War happened. A desire to grow stronger and see more leading to hastiness, which lead to things stolen and lives lost. In turn, that all lead to anger and bitterness."
