Bernadetta

Frigid ocean waters! I can feel them already!
link
Yuri
volume_up

Calm, caaaalm. Just listen to me for a moment. There's something I need to tell you.
link
Yuri
volume_up

The reason I worked for House Varley, Bernadetta, was to kill you.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Aha! I knew it! I always knew you were out to kill me! Sink me into the deep, dark, freezing depths...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Hold on. House Varley? But...why?
link
Yuri
volume_up

As you well know, theirs is one of the six great noble houses—the true rulers of the Empire.
link
Yuri
volume_up

And you're the heir...with a Crest. There were tons of people who wanted you wiped out.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Like people who want to eradicate House Varley. Or a relative who wants the glory for themselves.
link
Yuri
volume_up

That particular breed of treacherous nobility...is the kind that'd hire a kid to do their dirty work.
link
Yuri
volume_up

The first thing that kid would do? Get close to the target by befriending her, find an in through, say, an assistant gig.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

This kid you're mentioning sounds...real. That was you, wasn't it...
link
Yuri
volume_up

Yours truly. My biggest mistake? Getting to know you.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I crept into your room one night and readied my blade.
link
Yuri
volume_up

The whole thing had been a breeze, up until that moment. I couldn't bring myself to do it.
link
Yuri
volume_up

While I hovered there, hesitating, your father came in. You know the rest.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Why are you telling me all this? I'm so confused...
link
Yuri
volume_up

Because I want you to look at it objectively. I was hired to kill you. Your father protected you from me, a filthy assassin.
link
Yuri
volume_up

He was looking out for you. You're lucky to have a father who cares for you enough to do that.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Father...protected me? He...protected me...
link
Yuri
volume_up

Yeah, why would I lie?
link
Yuri
volume_up

At this point, I figure it's you who hates me, and not the other way around.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I don't hate you, Yuri! But I mean, I do feel weird... But I don't know how to feel... I just...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Can't we just be friends? Like back then?
link
Yuri
volume_up

You want to be friends? With...me?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

The reason you couldn't kill me was because we were friends. Right?
link
Yuri
volume_up

Well...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

You were my first friend.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

My very first friend. The first person who played with me. The first person who went on adventures with me. The first—
link
Yuri
volume_up

And you were the first friend I had to baby that much.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

What do you mean?! Well...even so... You were the first friend who cared for me!
link
Yuri
volume_up

The whole thing was probably a sham anyway.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Though, you know... Even if it was...I did have a lot of fun with you.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Heh! I knew it!
