she says "but what can we do?"

 "in the smallest, subtlest of ways, you can resist. Spread the word of the things to come and aid others in whatever hardships they find themselves in" sprout puts their fist over their heart "The seeds of hope have been sown, let them sprout with the stalks of REBELLION!" they yell the final word with gusto, 

 she sighs, then says "what hope?"

 "I know it's hard to see," sprout walks closer to izzy "But there is promise." they take off their wooden mask, showing a face half scarred-over, but not with skin. the scars are vines and creepers, and their skin is a plantish green. "I died. I was killed by the imposed system we accept as fair. But by luck, or by fate, I was returned to the realm of the living."

 Reqka walks over

 "but we're just people. there's not that many of us. what's the use?"

 "Not many? we are an entire city! The emperor put us here because he feared us! We have the capability, if we all band together, to be an army!"

 "if he feared us, he wouldn't have called us useless"

 "He does not fear what we are now. He fears what we might become if we have hope! We're crafty, resourceful, and hard to understand. That sounds like a great army."
