A Harsh Reality (Blue Lions)

link
Byleth, Dimitri, Ashe enter the scene

Ashe

Why... Why did this happen? Lonato was always such a kind man...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Everyone in the village was...was so nice to me. And I...I killed them. I killed them all!
link
Ashe
volume_up

I had to, I know I had to... I know that! But still... What does that make me?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Please, don't beat yourself up, Ashe. We did what had to be done.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm...I'm sorry. I shouldn't be bothering you.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm...I'm going to check on the town. I hope my brother and sister are OK.

Ashe leaves the scene

Dimitri
volume_up

That...that was my first time killing civilians too... Those who I'm sworn to protect.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Militia amongst the enemies... I didn't expect that. It was my first time killing civilians. Those who I'm sworn to protect.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Are you insane?! Those weren't knights or soldiers, but fathers and sons! We...we shouldn't have killed them. We should have found another way...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I...I'm sorry. It's not fair for me to blame you for the circumstance.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I know that if we hadn't...done what we did, even more civilian lives would have been lost.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

At least, my mind understands that. But...my heart...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Professor... Those in power, no matter the era, always claim they fight for a just cause. That they take life to protect it.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But... Is it truly OK to take any life you please, all in service of some implacable "just cause"?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Lord Lonato didn't take up arms out of a lust for power. He simply believed his cause to be just. Who's to say it wasn't?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Maybe we didn't have to cut him down like that. Maybe we could have reached a mutual understanding...found a path of peace.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I...I have to believe that. Perhaps the notion sounds laughable to you. Mere lip service to naive ideals. But I can't believe otherwise.

Catherine
volume_up

Sorry to intrude, but this incident may be more serious than anticipated.
link
Catherine
volume_up

I found this on Lord Lonato. It's a note that mentions a plan to assassinate Lady Rhea.
link
Catherine
volume_up

We can't tell who sent it, so the source is suspect, but the content is too disturbing to ignore.
link
Catherine
volume_up

We must report this to Lady Rhea right away. I hope that it's nothing...
