- Where...am I?
- Where...am I?
- Stay where you are. It would be best if you refrained
[cdb]from bringing out any weapons as well.
- Wait, Edelgard? Hold on. What're all three of you
[cdb]doing here?
- Wait, Edelgard? Hold on. What're all three of you
[cdb]doing here?
- I have the same question. It appears we've been
[cdb]swallowed up by some kind of strange magic.
- That's the long and short of it. But isn't all of this
[cdb]your doing?
- ...
- ...
- When we awoke, we found ourselves here, in this
[cdb]dark and ominous void.
- Don't tell me you can't remember what happened?
- You suddenly transformed and started attacking your
[cdb]friends. Luckily, we managed to knock you out and
[cdb]capture you.
- But it wasn't long before you came to and escaped.
I was told that you were acting like someone else
[cdb]entirely.
- Ngh...
- I guess that...kinda rings a bell.

- The last thing I remember is Arval telling me to slay
[cdb]the Ashen Demon. At least, I think it was Arval.

- Arval?
- The voice in my head. We've known each other for a
[cdb]few years now.
- The voice in my head. We've known each other for a

- Uh...huh.
- Pretty out there, right? This is why I never
[cdb]mentioned it.
- Sounds pretty out there, right? This is why I never
[cdb]mentioned it.
- And you claim this "Arval" suddenly decided to turn
[cdb]on you?
- I know how it sounds, but yeah.
- I know how it sounds, but yeah.
- There are two things I can say for sure.
- There are two things I can say for sure.
- The first is that Arval's magic is what dragged us all
[cdb]in here. And the second...is that no one's in my
[cdb]head anymore.

- How can you be certain?
- Because I don't feel them. At least, not in my mind.
Arval's somewhere else now. Somewhere distant.

Arval's somewhere else now. Somewhere distant.
- I don't mean for this to be an interrogation, but
"distant"? From where? This story of yours is
[cdb]hardly convincing.
- Well, you do seem to be your old self again. That, if
[cdb]nothing else, makes me want to believe what you're
[cdb]saying.
- At the very least, I hope you know a way out of this
[cdb]fathomless prison.
- About that. I know I said distant, but Arval's
[cdb]definitely here with us somewhere.

- If we can find them and figure out what magic they
[cdb]used on us, we might just be able to escape.

[cdb]used on us, we might just be able to escape.
- That sounds wildly optimistic.
- It sure does. But considering we don't know a thing
[cdb]about this place, we might as well give it a shot.
- In that case, let's begin looking around and see if we
[cdb]can't find any clues to where we are.
