- Chloe: "You didn't break the world, Zia." "Bernovitch and the Khazovians did."
- Zia (shrugs her off): "Yes, I did." "If it wasn't for me, no-one would have known about any of this." "No-one would have been able to open the portals." "No-one would have been able to break the world."
- Zia: "I'm the cause, Chloe." "I'm the reason the world's a mess." "I'm the reason you're a horse."
- Chloe: "..."
- Chloe (grinning): "Well, it could be worse." "I could be a snake." Zia (brightens a little): "You wish."
Characters: Chloe, Zia
