[DOWAGER EMPRESS, spoken]
As of today, there will be no more Anastasias.
The reward for her safe return will be given to charity.

[GLEB, spoken]
There never was an Anastasia.
She was a dream.

[DOWAGER EMPRESS, spoken]
A beautiful dream.

[GLEB, spoken]
A dream only time will fade.

[DOWAGER EMPRESS, spoken]

[GLEB, spoken]
The new order has no need for fairytales.
The case is closed.

[DOWAGER EMPRESS, spoken]

[COMPANY]
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon... a December!
