Marianne, Dimitri enter the scene

Hmm... Spared again...

Dimitri

So it would seem. I told you that you are extraordinarily lucky.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Sometimes I think that must be true. But why me?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Is this the goddess's way of telling me to make something of myself?
link
Marianne
volume_up

There are so many others who are much more deserving of life...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I often think the same of myself... Especially after battles where many lives were lost.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But I must go on living. I cannot give in to death so readily.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It is my duty to atone for my sins, and to pay for the lives I've taken.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I suppose...that must be why the goddess allows me to live on.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Is there a reason she allows me to live?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Only you can know that. But I believe there is a reason.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Marianne... Life is difficult.
link
Marianne
volume_up

It is a burden...
link
Marianne
volume_up

It feels terrible to continue standing when so many others had to fall.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

If that is so, then carry on as you are. There is no need for you to force yourself to smile as your soul bleeds.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But please... Whatever you do, do not give up on yourself, or your precious life.
link
Marianne
volume_up

What do you mean?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

If you were to die, I would be devastated.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Hehe! You never have been easy to read.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Is that so?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Everyone says that I need to cheer up...
link
Marianne
volume_up

But you may be the first person to tell me not to.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Your life must also be difficult for you to understand my position.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

So it is. I often feel I am not strong enough to live it.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I think our difficulties have brought us closer together.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Do you?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Absolutely!
link
Marianne
volume_up

Please, Dimitri. Promise you'll live through this war and long after.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I don't know what I'd do with myself if we lost you...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

As long as you are carrying on, I have yet another reason to carry on myself.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I promise to the goddess of Fódlan that I will never give you cause to despair.
