1. Lorenz! I'm so glad you're awake.
2. This is...the infirmary. I see you have been taking care [cdb]of— Ngh!
3. Please, you mustn't get up!
4. They said your wounds aren't too deep. Apparently [cdb]the blow to your head was the worst of it...
5. Professor Manuela said your wounds aren't too deep. Apparently the blow to your head was the worst [cdb]of it...
6. I see. My apologies for all the trouble.
7. To think my outing on the battlefield would end not [cdb]in glory, but merely in losing consciousness...
8. ...
9. What is it, Marianne? I am perfectly all right. You needn't worry yourself over me.
10. No...
11. It's my fault you ended up like this.
12. You shouldn't have saved me, Lorenz. If only I had [cdb]been injured in your place...
13. Hm.
14. I must have been hallucinating during the battle.
15. What?
16. All was well one moment, and the next I felt a sharp [cdb]gaze piercing my soul. "Help me," it beckoned.
17. No sooner had I turned around than I saw you there, [cdb]the very same words seeming to float across your lips.
18. But it seems my eyes were deceiving me.
19. ...
20. So you see, the blame for my injuries lies entirely [cdb]with me.
21. I simply assumed you were asking for my help, [cdb]and thrust myself into danger to provide it.
22. No, it's not your fault!
23. Please. To be honest, I truly was asking for help.
24. My apologies for teasing you so, Marianne.
25. But I know now how you actually feel. And I am glad [cdb]to know it was not just a hallucination after all.
26. For so much of my life, I didn't care if I lived or died, [cdb]and yet...
27. And yet when I saw you there beside me, I realized I did care.
28. I wanted to live.
29. And that is good enough.
30. Such instincts are only natural. You needn't try to [cdb]justify it to yourself, or anyone else.
31. Lorenz...
32. I thank you for opening up to me, Marianne. We will survive this war, together.
33. We will. And...thank you.
