Seteth, Flayn enter the scene

Flayn.

Flayn

Here to pester me, Brother?
link
Seteth
volume_up

No, I think I'm the one who ought to be pestered.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Regardless of what I say to you, it is not as though it has any effect in reducing your worry over me.
link
Seteth
volume_up

That is true. No matter where you are, and no matter what you're doing, I will always worry.
link
Seteth
volume_up

But that's only because I treasure you so very much.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Please understand. I'm not trying to hurt you.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Of that I am well aware.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I am touched that you care so deeply.
link
Flayn
volume_up

When I think of it, it is my own fault that you have become so overprotective.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I cannot blame you.
link
Seteth
volume_up

No. The fault is entirely mine.
link
Seteth
volume_up

You were still so young. I placed far too much strain on you, and our lack of resources was no excuse.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Worse, I failed to watch you during the battle. Your mother too. We...lost her because of me.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Afterward, it broke my heart to see how much you would need to rest just to survive.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I swore that I would dedicate every moment remaining in my life to your protection.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Ever since then, I have been afraid of falling asleep.
link
Flayn
volume_up

My fear of sleeping is outmatched only by my fear of spending my life alone.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Even if it cannot last, I want to live among my peers as one of them—as an ordinary person.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Similar to how you and Mother coexisted with your own comrades back then, fighting side by side.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Quite right. I know you must leave the nest someday.
link
Seteth
volume_up

No matter how many ages our lives may span, I know that's the way of it.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Father...
link
Seteth
volume_up

Don't.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Nobody is listening, Father. Let me address you as such just this once.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I have valued the quiet days you and I have spent alone together.
link
Flayn
volume_up

But I am no longer a child.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Just as you and Mother met one another, and eventually I was brought into the world, I—
link
Seteth
volume_up

I know. Please, no more.
link
Seteth
volume_up

No matter what happens, you're my daughter. It gives me great joy to see you grow.
link
Seteth
volume_up

But please, at least until this war is over, let me continue to worry.
link
Seteth
volume_up

You're the most precious person in my life. I can't bear the thought of losing you.
link
Flayn
volume_up

It seems I have no choice in the matter.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I shall allow you to worry about me enough for yourself and Mother both.
link
Flayn
volume_up

But only that much and no more, my dear father, Cichol.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Thank you, Cethleann.
