Fighting, negotiations, tactics... those are all just one part of war-- that's the part we're supposed to find glorious.

Turians, we're ah, we're sort of built for that kind of thing. We go through the training most of our lives, and we're supposed to be able to handle it. I honestly don't think anyone-- species or individual, ever really can.
But that's why we do what we can. We rely on one another, pick ourselves up and keep marching on.
So it may not feel like it's over just yet, but it does end. Eventually everything goes back to being that imperfect balance that tries so hard just to be decent.
