You mean to say, sir, that you created the walls, or whatever they are, that keep us here? And now you wish to tear them down? And we are simply free to leave, to return to our homes and continue our lives?

Forgive me for seeming suspicious, but nothing in this place has ever come without some sort of price or trick involved. If you are truly magnanimous in your intent, then I thank you. If, however, you have some sort of new trick planned for the denizens of this city, you may find many irate people at your doorstep in very short order.
