| → | Hold still, this'll only take a minute |
| Gods, you stink! |
| You've got sores on your shoulders. Is that from the armor? |
| When was the last time you took that thing off...? |
|
| |
|
...
| Love power. The Blessing of the Goddess. |
| It's a kind of blessing I can grant to members of my party which enables them to use their Love Techniques for a while. It wears off over time, so I need to reapply it every time a new fight starts. |
| I don't feel like explaining this again |
| → | Don't even worry about it |
|
| |
|
| It's Jiro's special ability. He grants us incredible power, through the gift of Love. |
Good trick.
Could have used something like that... a little earlier...
|
| |
|
...
| Would not have worked on you |
| At least I hope not. Don't tell me you're attached already. |
| → | You're the one who wanted to fight here, we don't have to get involved |
|
| Ghhh-- how do you not realize?? You're already involved!
|
| |
|
| Because they captured us? I'm telling you, we already had a way out... |
No, you-- the Aveans!
They're the bastards who destroyed our planet!
Our home!
YOUR home!!
It's GONE... how do you not even... it's gone. Our planet, our Earth, it's gone.
|
| |
|
| What are you talking about?? |
| |
|
...
| What's a planet |
| Do you mean the island is gone? |
| That... makes me sad. Yet not nearly as sad as I should be... |
| Did this all happen in the past day-and-a-half? Something's not right. |
| → | I think you have us mistaken for someone else. We're not of this world. |
|
| We came from a hole in the world, much like the one you saw in the tunnel back there. |
| We don't live in that labyrinth of blades, but past there. There is an island blessed by the Goddess. That's where we call home. |
Ah... ah.
Ahh.. ha haahaaaa... of course...
Of course...
|
| |
|
...
| You invested a lot in thinking we were your people, huh |
| → | Where you're from... the Aveans burned it down? |
| Sorry all that happened |
|
"Burned it down"... God. As if they're some... bandit gang on horseback.
You have no idea what they did to us.
You couldn't even conceive of it.
|
They didn't just burn it to the ground, they burned the ground itself, burned the sea and the sky, ALL of it.
They had a weapon. Power like a vengeful god.
Punched a hole through the Earth like...
...like it was a beer can.
|
| |
|
...
| Uh huh. Okay. |
| → | You're right. I can't conceive of it. |
|
I don't think any of us could.
Not before it happened.
|
| |
|
| That sounds terrible, Major. We're sorry you had to go through that. |
| |
|
...
| That sounds like an incredible loss |
| No wonder you're so screwed up |
| → | I know what it's like, for what it's worth |
|
You know how it feels to lose everything? I mean everything.
Do you really?
|
| |
|
...
| Not what I meant |
| → | I know how it feels to have nowhere you can return to. |
| My home is still standing but it puts a pit in my stomach when I think of going back |
|
| |
|
| What...? Jiro, what do you mean by that? |
...
He means what he said, girl.
|
| |
|
...
| → | How do you do it? How do you keep on going? |
| It doesn't sound like you have anyone to force you back on your feet |
| If I was you I'd have laid down and never gotten up |
|
...
I've considered it. Giving up.
It's the Aveans who keep me going.
Because every time the temptation strikes me, to let go and let it take me...
I just think to myself:
|
| Oh, they would LOVE that.
|
| ...Looks like your treatment's worked.
|
| |
|
| They're effective, but be warned we have a limited supply. |
| |
|
...
| You're welcome |
| → | Try not to get stabbed again |
|
No promises.
It's only getting more dangerous from here. We're headed back to the surface.
The easy way is blocked, which means the only way out...
...is through.
