What are you doing up at this hour? You should head back to your tent—we have an early start tomorrow.

I could say the same to you. I know you're busy and all, but you need rest.

As pitiful as it may sound, burying myself in work is the only way I can find peace in times such as these.

Dimitri

The moment I close my eyes, I'm greeted by nothing but thoughts of Rodrigue.

Dimitri...I'm sorry. It was all my fault.

You needn't blame yourself.

Felix and I were right there. We could do little more than watch while his life was taken from him.
link
Dimitri
volume_up
And of course, we never would have found ourselves in such a position had my judgment been better.

Still, defeating the Ashen Demon has always been my responsibility.

I was a fool to think we could settle things without fighting them, and Rodrigue lost his life to that foolishness.

But I won't make the same mistake again. I will defeat the Ashen Demon, mark my words.

Dimitri

That fiend is my enemy, too. And everyone else feels the same.

Dimitri

Wasn't it you who taught me not to bear all my burdens alone?

Dimitri

Now, go get some sleep. I'm sure you're tired.

Right. Thanks, Dimitri.

Right. Thanks, Dimitri.

You should know I don't take kindly to eavesdropping, Felix.
link
Felix
volume_up
I should've kept quiet. You know, such talk would kill our morale if our soldiers caught wind of it.
link
Dimitri
volume_up
Thankfully, it is a secret to all...save prowlers like you.
link
Felix
volume_up
Hmph. I'm just here to check you're not making things worse.
link
Dimitri
volume_up
How much worse could it get? My poor leadership sent Rodrigue to his death.
link
Dimitri
volume_up
He never intended to sacrifice his life like that.
link
Felix
volume_up
You're as thick as ever. Yes, I'm sure my father regretted dying in such a way.
link
Dimitri
...
link
Felix
volume_up
But not because he wasn't ready to go. If anything, he was already looking for a fitting place to die.
link
Felix
volume_up
His one regret would be never getting to see the new Faerghus his beloved king created.
link
Dimitri
volume_up
I...
link
Felix
volume_up
Which is why I'll be taking his place by your side. You need to win this war—not just for today's Kingdom, but for tomorrow's.
link
Felix
volume_up
Only then will his dream finally come true.
link
Dimitri

Felix...

Felix
volume_up
It's funny. The two of us staring at the stars on a cold night like tonight brings back memories.
link
Dimitri
volume_up
You mean when we got snowed in on the mountains. I remember it well. I thought that evening would be our last.
link
Dimitri
volume_up
Until Rodrigue and Glenn found us huddled together amidst the frost, that is.
link
Felix
volume_up
Worst scolding I ever got.
link
Dimitri

...
link
Felix
volume_up
Well, I doubt they'd begrudge us a few tears tonight, at least.
link
Dimitri
volume_up
No, I imagine not.
