My teacher... What have you been doing all this time? Where have you been?!

Joking? At a time like this? You do realize it's been five years since you disappeared!

Do you have any idea how guilty I felt? How broken my heart was?!

Edelgard

I searched high and low after you vanished. Although there was no proof, I somehow knew you were alive.

All this time, I led everyone as best I could and fought with all my heart. It's been a difficult path to walk alone.
