Phantomenia leans comfortably against Mare Do Well.

Inari looks at the pair sitting on the cushion.

Inari: "It is because they care, not for Equestria, not for their own lives, but for yours. That is why they follow you, because they care for you. Would you sacrifice their lives in order to preserve Equestria? Would you repay their loyalty and kindness with suffering? Instead of using others to distract Rat Trap, you use yourself to fight him, even though your defeat would make his banishment impossible. You take dangerous risks for the sake of your subjects. Instead of risking their lives you risk Equestria, which confuses me."
