Byleth & Ingrid A

Byleth, Ingrid enter the scene

Ingrid
volume_up

Apologies for bothering you so late. I just...really wanted to speak with you.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Thank you. You see, I've been feeling conflicted. About my future.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

It may seem petty to worry about such things in the middle of a war like this...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

This isn't something I open up about with many people.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Feeling such a sense of inner turmoil while a war rages on and others are fighting with all they have, well... It feels a little selfish.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

The truth is, I've wanted to be a knight ever since I was a small child.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Not just any knight, like one you might find serving within the castle guard, but a true knight—one serving a master.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

However, my father has always had different plans for me. He wants me to marry, for the benefit of the Galatea family.
link
You don't have to do what you don't want to.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Defying my father feels...wrong. I've seen how he's struggled over the years.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

His burden has always been far greater than any I've had to bear myself.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

While he fed me extravagant meals, he subsisted on meager portions and watered-down soups...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

He never once complained—even though he must have been starving.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Knowing his sacrifices, I've never been able to tell him of my dream of becoming a knight.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Now that this war has begun, my father has allowed me to fight for my homeland.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Although ultimately, I find myself betraying his wishes.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Now that I have parted ways with my father, there is nothing to stop me from pursuing my dream.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

But even if I do become a knight, I feel an unease deep within me.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I fear I will never escape this guilt I carry.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

That I have shunned my duty as a noble.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Yes. I know. All I can do is accept this inner turmoil.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

To follow both my dream and my duty? I...I had never considered that as an option. Perhaps there is a way.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Yes. I know. All I can do is accept this inner turmoil.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

To follow both my dream and my duty? I...I had never considered that as an option. Perhaps there is a way.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Of course not. We cannot change what has already come to pass.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Even with the academy days long behind us, you're still a professor, through and through.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Always listening to others' troubles and offering up your wisdom.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I really am grateful for all that you do for us, Professor.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I hope you'll always be here as a guide to everyone. I know I myself would appreciate that deeply...
