Treize in white,
Duke Dermailles in yellow.

"Duke Dermailles, I'm sorry, but I cannot support the Romefellor Foundation in the path it's taking."

"What?"

"Tradition is a history; it's the history of caring built by deep, true feelings of people. I do think that fighting in battles can, indeed, at times, be beautiful. But at the same time, I'd like to express my regret over the lost souls by appealing to you to recognize how precious Man's life is. I believe what Mankind needs is not absolute victory, but a certain demeanor in fighting; an attitude toward fighting. I fear that the era of soulless weapons called Mobile Dolls--in other words, the era that the Romefellor Foundation is creating--may become an embarassment to the people of the future. I used to think that the ideals of the people of the space colonies--such as their highly-prized pacifism--were just pitiful complaints born out of their ignorance of tradition.
"New warriors were born that surpassed even my ideals--the Gundam pilots. Tradition appears blurred alongside their pure feelings. From a historical point of view, warriors who lost what they were protecting, and were further betrayed by those they were protecting, are losers. But they do not see themselves as such. Not only that, but they retain a strong will to continue fighting.
"The emotions of those who are thought to be beautiful are always full of sorrow, and honored tradition disappears in the cry of the weak. Winners of a battle will eventually decline in power and become losers, and then those losers will cultivate a new leader."

"Treize, what are you getting at?"

"I'm telling you, I want to be a loser."

"So you're saying that you want the Romefellor Foundation Headquarters to take OZ out of your control?
"We don't want to see any blood. Besides, we must take your distinguished service into account. I hereby confine you to the Romefellor Foundation Headquarters."

With a fancy gun that has long forgotten the meaning of battle, I'd feel no emotion, even if I were to shoot an enemy right through the heart. It's not that a pure person has no direction, it's that their mind is free.
