Kyle Cushing (UE-43)

"I made a horrible mistake. But I am so much stronger now. We, you and me, we are so much stronger now. But you know what? This guy... even then, he knew that you were the one. A lot of years have passed since then. But that feeling, knowing that you're the only woman that I will ever love... Lana, that has never changed. Not one bit."
