Oh, Dimitri. Have you read that letter from your stepmom yet?

Oh, Dimitri. Have you read that letter from your stepmom yet?
link Dimitri volume_up
Ah, yes. I have.
link Dimitri volume_up
It was a missive requesting the then Viscount Elidure's cooperation in her conspiracy against my father.

She claimed he would have much to gain from the king's elimination, all while shrewdly expressing sympathy with his objections to the reforms.
link Dimitri volume_up
I had it investigated for signs of forgery as a precaution, but such a search returned nothing. The letter is authentic.

Meaning your stepmom was a willing participant in the Tragedy of Duscur.

She sent so many to die—and would've done the same to her own stepson, if all had gone according to plan.

All out of desire to see her daughter again. Or so Cornelia said.
link Dimitri volume_up
The wretch's words deserve little weight...but I believe she spoke true.
link Dimitri volume_up
In every memory I hold of my stepmother, she was always looking past me. As if the one she truly cared for was somewhere else entirely.

That's horrible. I never knew my real mom, but the woman who adopted me loved me with all her heart. That's how it should be.

It was horrible, yes, but what of it? There is no guarantee a parent will come to love their child.

I can't imagine how that must've felt for you. But I'm sure it wasn't easy for your stepmom either, separated from her family like that.

link Dimitri volume_up
Indeed. I don't forgive her for how she treated me, but...I suppose the blame doesn't lie solely with her.
link Dimitri volume_up
Still, being faced with such plain evidence of her crimes is a difficult thing to come to terms with.
link Dimitri volume_up
I had once thought her among those I would avenge, yet now she lies squarely in the path of my fury.
link Shez volume_up
Pretty heavy stuff, yeah.

link Dimitri volume_up
I can tell you're troubled as well.
link Shez volume_up
You can see straight through me, huh? Guess that's what three years together will do.

And yeah, I know you said you trust me, but I'm not so sure I even trust myself anymore.

I just, can't stand not knowing the truth. Who am I, really?

link Dimitri volume_up
No matter what answer awaits, I will continue to place my trust in you. That hasn't changed.
link Shez volume_up
But what if I transform and attack you?
link Shez volume_up

link Dimitri volume_up
I would do whatever I must to restrain you, naturally. Failing that, I'd...
link Dimitri volume_up
Forgive me. It helps no one to utter such words.

It's fine. If nothing else, the threat of death is good motivation for me to get this power under control.

Have you lost your mind? It almost sounds like you'd be OK with him killing you.
link Shez volume_up
I don't wanna die, of course. But if it was between that and killing a friend, I know which one I'd pick.
