“It was a quiet night when you left, when my whole world fell apart, you could hear a pin drop. When he died, you had the audacity to leave me and my sister behind, where were you when it all collapsed underneath us? While I tried to keep me and Yasha together, things happened fast, but I had to keep going. Yasha lost hope after Dad passed, I couldn’t blame her, who could? But in my mind, I had to get answers, something, to just figure out why you left. I had a buddy of mine, figure out a way past the sentries and guards that patrolled the Zone’s border. I will find you Mom, and when I do, I hope I did the right thing.”

Stepan Balka *DECEASED* --- "You taught me all you could Dad, everything to know about the world, about people, and most importantly to stay calm and patient. Everyday it gets harder to remember your lessons, and what you sounded like. The day you left, you told us that you'd return, to give both me and Yasha the best surprise... That never came, the days got longer, darker and more crazy. I miss you..."
Naya Balka --- "I found you in the Zone.. Surrounded by brigands and hunters.. To think this is what called you out here.. Radiation? Really? I'll wait until you're ready to get out of here, until then.. Well.. It's the Zone. I'll be here."
Yasha Balka --- "Wherever you are now, I just hope you know that you will always be my sister and my only family, but I have to find her. Yasha if I don't do this... It'll hang over my head until I grow old and weary, stay strong for me, and don't forget the chores around the house. I'll be back, I promise. Love, Mikhail."
Nikolai 'Kolya' Eljanov --- "Mom and Dad always told me to stay away from you, I didn't understand when I was younger, but I seemed to get it as I got older, especially on that day. The way my Mom looked at you, it freaked me out.. I didn't understand, but he died over there? He told us he'd be back, he promised us and you come back? I don't know what happened there Uncle, but whatever it was... You should've brought him back home alive..."
Grace --- "Guess I have some sort of Guardian Angel on my shoulder when it comes to you, helps that you seem to give me therapy sessions every time we talk with one another.. I barely even know you and you can read me like a book.. I don't know whether that is a compliment or.. Well something else, thanks either way for being there Grace."
'Argonaut' --- "Saved my ass, guess I could consider you a friend here in the Zone. Whatever happened that was a bit weird, whatever, I am sure I am pretty weird myself."
Automatic Rainbow --- "Helped her set up a wall for her place, got some ammo out of it, seems like I can bullshit with her a bit too. So seems pretty sweet all things considered, probably gonna be a good neighbor. Best trader around at the moment, can't complain."
Stag --- "Boss of the Lodge, good guy and probably has good advise to give, been meaning on asking, just always forget too."
'German Guy' --- "Helped me learn how to skin a boar.. Even gave me some meat.. Bit strange though, I ain't gonna lie to myself."
'Seer' --- "Helped me out when I needed it, and certainly I helped him back, might be mute, but I think I get him, good guy. We even have our own handshake, Jesus..."
Gavriil 'Mask' --- "Well, like I said to you in the bar, you've been helping me out, I can only do the same man, we'll get this figured out, and hopefully your name will be cleared of that damn bounty."
Female 'Merc' --- "I didn't catch your name, I just knew you were with Weaver, you seemed very thankful that I was willing to give you the AK, so.. I guess I got to give you credit for you giving me your previous weapon as a trade off. Much appreciated friend.."
Weaver 'Merc' --- "Good guy to work with, knows his shit and knows how to say something and mean it. So I give him props for it. Still kind of rough that the AK I was given was sort of-.. Well, snagged off to his partner, I didn't mind, but, I still think about it from time-to-time, so water under the bridge."
'The Chosen' --- "Bastard thought it was a good idea to try to rob me, managed to get the fuck out of dodge. Just you wait dude, it'll come back onto you and it'll come hard."
Uzi Bandit Guy *DECEASED* --- "Eye for an Eye. Just you wait fucker."
Partner Bandit Guy --- "You were there too.. Didn't see your face but I heard you."
