I'll let you know, Mr. Berle, that the only life they took of their own initiative was the Synard's, the rest was self-defense. [By the way, if the player were given a choice to kill enemies or keep them alive, I'd certainly opt for the latter as often as possible] You, on the other hand, have always taken the initiative, and for unspecified reasons other than the ridiculously generic objective of conquering the universe. Therefore, don't you dare to compare our friends to yourself! There, I said it! I must say that Berle's remark was quite pointless...
...but Claude's comeback is even worse.
The Synard flies off towards Armlock - a short flight, I know - and leaves Claude and the others in front of Mirage's lab; they notice a crowd has gathered near it, and fear the worst. Asking the townspeople, they realize Berle has only just arrived, but as Claude steps towards the entrance of the lab, he sees Dr. Mirage flying out of the door, violently kicked out by Berle, who comes out to 'greet' our heroes. Fortunately the doctor seems to be still alive... It's payback time! However, Berle, although surprised at their arrival, apparently tries to make them feel guilty about the situation: after all, you can just look at the battle counter in your game menu to see how many battles you've fought and won so far, and that's a good indicator of how many enemies fell to your attacks. Sure, it was all for survival (or to save other people), and most of them were demons you couldn't possibly reason with, but the sheer number may take you aback once you think about it. But that's neither the place nor the time to reflect upon that, and Claude seems to share this sentiment (him being blinded by rage is probably the main reason, though): it's time to fight!
