You only have to say the word, and the man is arrested. He knows what this is about and you can see him pleading for his daughters. You know what will happen to them, and can only imagine what will happen to him. You also know that seeing a captain dragged away so shortly before departure does not bolster the troops' confidence.

You know you made the right choice, even though others may not. Once you leave, if the plague spreads too quickly in Verum, then nothing you do will matter and the city will fall. That cannot be risked.
