A former member of the US Army, after returning from war, Yadiel found himself listless and without a place in a rapidly changing America.

Conversations​

Ivy​

I: I heard you’re turning your life around.
Y: John and Gabriela would have loved to turn their lives around too.
I: Yadiel, I didn’t want to hurt them like that.
Y: Yet you still did.
I: They shot at me first!
Y: No, I shot at your first.

I: What did you even see in Mendoza?
Y: The United States sent me to war and didn’t give a damn about me when I came back. Mendoza cared.
I: He “cared” because he was using you.
Y: Maybe. But at least he cared.

Infernus​

I: Who are you fighting for?
Y: My brother and sister. John and Gabriela. You?
I: My buddy Hank.
Y: Let’s not disappoint anyone then.
I: Let’s not.

Y: How do you live your life knowing you’ve done what you did?
I: I don’t live in the past Yadiel. Neither should you.
Y: I try, but every night the images flash back in my head.
I: Maybe it's the OSIC.
Y: *laughs* Maybe it is.

Paige​

Y: If I don’t make it out of here, can you do me a favor?
P: Oh that's morbid, but sure I guess.
Y: I have a manuscript. I want you to take it and read it.
P: What kind of book is it?
Y: It's my memoir. I figured I made enough mistakes. Maybe others can learn from them.

Warden​

W:
Y: No, I was a soldier. You are a man who never learned to do anything but play as one.

S: I spent my whole life fighting for others Warden. The path you’re on doesn’t get better.
W:
Y: I guess not.
