Description
Sleep well, sleep well, children of this world...

For the divine has promised you unconditional love.
Awaken, awaken, O storm with neither root nor source!
If blessings are so generous, so selfless,
Then why has mercy never reached the winter?

Transcript
- Vodyanitsa: I've heard that... the rules that govern this world are all essentially curses
- Vodyanitsa: So to live by the rules... means to suffer under the sum of all curses
- Alyosha : Are you talking about the snowstorms, or Project Stuzha? Or... the Tsaritsa?
- Vodyanitsa: Let's go. Before Lelek makes a move
- Vodyanitsa: If it's true that rules are curses... well then, there's only two options
- Vodyanitsa: Either we overthrow the rules... or...
- Vodyanitsa: Hmm? Were you going to say, follow them? Get used to them?
- Vodyanitsa: It's neither
- Vodyanitsa: We find a way to transcend the rules
- Pulcinella: ...Regarding the motion to extend Project Stuzha, if there are no further objections...
- Audience Member 1: ...I... I have an objection...!
- Audience Member 2: M—Me too!
- Audience Member 3: ...Huh?
- Audience Member 4: I object!
- Arlecchino: Heh...
- Pantalone: Oh my...
- Vesna: Search the area! We are the Druzhna, and it is our honor to serve the Tsaritsa!
- Danica: Forgive the intrusion. Mind if I... join this private discussion?
- Noy: Compared to the eons gone by... Heh, this is a peaceful age
- Mitya: Wait... The Kresnik's Torch?
- Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya: And then... the Heavenly Principles spoiled our love
- Child: Mother?
- Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya: I almost doubt whether it was ever true at all
- Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya: One should not throw fragile driftwood to a drowning person Nor give the illusion of warmth to those freezing to death
- Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya: Death is not the enemy of love
- Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya: The real enemy is the blessings given by deluded gods
- Rhinedottir: Good move
- Rhinedottir: Still... I do hope you truly understand the nature of the game you're playing
Trivia
- The chess game played between the Tsaritsa and Rhinedottir depicts a real life chess position played between Alexander Alekhine and Fred Yates in 1922.[1]
- While the real game ends in this position with Yates's resignation as black, the Tsaritsa continues with the illegal move Kxf5, illegal both because it places white's king in check and because she moved out of order.
