You open your eyes to find you've been trapped within Zahras along with Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude. In order to escape the unending darkness, you all agree to work together for the time being.

Epimenides volume_up
Now have the grace to lay down your lives and let the world you've torn apart heal!
Shez volume_up
I know you're in there, Arval... I still...
Shez volume_up
I know you're in there, Arval... I still...
Shez volume_up
I know you're in there, Arval... I still...
Shez volume_up
I know you're in there, Arval... I still...
Edelgard volume_up
I always knew my end would be in darkness...
Edelgard volume_up
I always knew my end would be in darkness...
Dimitri volume_up
So this is where I breathe my last... I only pray the others are safe...
Dimitri volume_up
So this is where I breathe my last... I only pray the others are safe...
Claude volume_up
Welp...didn't see this coming...
Claude volume_up
Welp...didn't see this coming...
Dimitri volume_up
Step aside, before I make you do so.
link Claude volume_up
I don't know what's going on, but I do know whoever that is needs to be stopped!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
And how far are you willing to go? Will you cut down your own friends to reach me?
link Edelgard volume_up
Hubert?! No. It must be a double.
link Dimitri volume_up
If so, it's completely indistinguishable from the real thing. This is vile sorcery indeed.
link Claude volume_up
Hilda? How did she... No, that can't be her. Is it an illusion?
link Dimitri volume_up
If so, it's completely indistinguishable from the real thing. This is vile sorcery indeed.
Jeralt volume_up
Your Majesty, why are you consorting with the enemy? Dimitri is right where you want him!
Thales volume_up
Edelgard?! No, she would never join forces with the king of Faerghus. You must be another impostor!
link Edelgard volume_up
Why are you... No, this is a deception. The man I know would never raise a weapon at me.
Dimitri volume_up
The emperor is before you! Deal the killing blow!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You swore we would avenge our allies, yet now fraternize openly with their killer?!
link Dimitri volume_up
You can't fool me. If it were really you, you would understand.
Viscount Albany volume_up
Claude, no. Don't do this. I can't believe you would hurt me.
Constance volume_up
It appears you have finally lost yourself, Claude—so now I shall put you down!
link Claude volume_up
This is harder than I thought... I mean, how do we know for sure they're not real?
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
You would drench your hands in the blood of friends to get what you want? I should've expected no less from the children of beasts.
link Edelgard volume_up
Their screams are so real...
link Dimitri volume_up
There. It's done. But steel yourselves— we don't know who we'll confront next.
link Edelgard volume_up
Are we being warped away? No... Space itself is distorting around us.
link Dimitri volume_up
Our surroundings have...changed.
link Claude volume_up
This place is so twisted you can't even tell where you are.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Aren't you sad for your comrades, murderers? Ah, there it is! There is your rage!
link Claude volume_up
Uh oh. I can spot one fake, but how do I tell which Edelgard and Dimitri are on my side?
link Edelgard volume_up
Perhaps each of us should take on their own double to prevent confusion.
link Dimitri volume_up
That's not a bad idea.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
This darkness is a mirror for the soul— and once a soul is imprisoned here, it is eternally severed from the real world.
link Claude volume_up
Is that why Edelgard is returned to normal? Some trick of the darkness?
Raphael volume_up
Just imagine how much easier our task will be with two of us!
link Edelgard volume_up
A nice thought, yes. But I'm sad to say I fail to trust even myself.
Leonie volume_up
Why are you helping the emperor, you wretch? If you mourn your friends, avenge them!
link Dimitri volume_up
It's a blessing I get to face you—there is truly no one I more desire to end.
Gustave volume_up
Stop playing the kind soul! Everything we've ever wanted is before us, ripe for the taking!
link Claude volume_up
If you're really me, then you already know why I'm doing this. I don't like leaving my fate up to luck!
link Edelgard volume_up
I can't say it's pleasant watching my own death.
link Dimitri volume_up
Illusion or no, I must thank our adversary for letting me experience that.
link Claude volume_up
I feel like I just slew my twin brother...
link Claude volume_up
That's the last of the illusions!
link Edelgard volume_up
So it would seem.
link Dimitri volume_up
At least now we're certain they're not real. We can cut them down without mercy.
link Claude volume_up
Again? Please tell me we're gonna find that guy this time.
link Dimitri volume_up
Right. Let's get searching.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Oh, but you four are a marvel! To think you are already adapting to this place!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Ah, there you are. My partner in destiny.
Shez volume_up
You're not Arval. And even if you were, I'd fight you all the same.
Shez volume_up
You're not Arval. And even if you were, I'd fight you all the same.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Destroying me will achieve nothing, for you will all still be trapped in this place!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Unfortunate, but you are forcing my hand.
link Dimitri volume_up
So even our mercenary friend gets a phantom. This is going to take all of us—time to put our differences aside!
link Claude volume_up
My attacks aren't getting through! What's going on?
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Hah! None can stand before us!
link Edelgard volume_up
What about our phantom mercenary friend? We know we can harm the illusions, right?
Shez volume_up
Not often a guy gets to fight himself... I think I'm gonna enjoy this.
Shez volume_up
Not often a gal gets to fight herself... I think I'm gonna enjoy this.
Shez volume_up
OK, I hate this. It even thinks like me!
Shez volume_up
OK, I hate this. It even thinks like me!
Shez volume_up
Why's it have to be you... I don't wanna fight you!
Shez volume_up
Why's it have to be you... I don't wanna fight you!
Shez volume_up
Why's it have to be you... I don't wanna fight you!
Shez volume_up
Why's it have to be you... I don't wanna fight you!
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
It seems I am forced to do this myself... So be it! Come at me, if you dare!
link Dimitri volume_up
Our adversary has finally run out of tricks. Time to finish this.
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Nothing I do is enough! How much more must I sacrifice?
<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
No! This isn't over!
