You beg, you bargain, you plead, but the Reformer just smiles and tells you to stop making a fool of yourself. He was a prisoner once before, and look at all the good it did him.

| A Defeated Sigh
You beg, you bargain, you promise to devote your life to good deeds. The Reformer shakes his head, but you don't let up. By the time you're finished pleading, he is sitting with his head bowed.
"Very well," he says finally. "But you don't know what you're doing. Without me, this place will be left to the care of the other three, whose efforts are misguided at best. And Piranesi will change me again. I dread to think..." He trails off. Without another word, he guides you to the exit. The lamp falls from your wrist, and he shackles it to his own. "Go before I change my mind," he says. Game note: The Gallant Reformer is now imprisoned!

| A Stern Rebuke
"Don't you dare!" The Reformer draws himself to his full height, grey eyebrows bristling fiercely. "Don't mention my old self again. That man is dead, and lives on only as a shadow in my dreams."

| A Return to the Old Ways
Your words hang in the air like a cloud of poison. The Reformer shakes his head, a strange light in his eyes.
"It is so tiring to be good," he says finally. "I remember very little from my old life, but I know I didn't have to wrestle with all this guilt." He stares at a half-eroded statue. "Perhaps Piranesi will change me back. Perhaps I've done enough good for one lifetime." Without another word, he guides you to the exit. The lamp falls from your wrist, and he shackles it to his own. His smile is sad and terrible. Game note: The Gallant Reformer is now imprisoned!

| A Defeated Sigh
You beg, you bargain, you recall the good times you've spent together. The Reformer shakes his head, but you don't let up. By the time you're finished pleading, he sits with his head bowed.
"Very well," he says finally. "For the sake of friendship. Remember me." Without another word, he guides you to the exit. The lamp falls from your wrist, and he shackles it to his own. "Go before I change my mind," he says. Game note: The Gallant Reformer is now imprisoned!
