Edelgard
After all, if we don't effectively force things to go our way, nothing will be achieved.

Even if I spend all of my time rummaging through this library, there's a limit to the knowledge that can be gained.
Apparently, it only contains books whose contents have been deemed appropriate by the church.
If only Tomas were around. I bet he has some interesting stories he could regale us with...
What in the world is happening in Remire Village? I hear even the knights have been dispatched.
I hope it's nothing too serious... After all, that's where we first met. I have valued memories of the place.

My life consists of wearing a groove in the floor between the library and the dining hall. Although, I guess a real recluse wouldn't leave their room, eh?
That would be me if you weren't my teacher, locked away in my room, reading, napping, never to be seen.

You know I never see Bernadetta outside of class. I wonder what it is that she does in her room all day.
That's a nice thing you have there, Professor. Don't suppose you're planning on using it yourself...

Bernadetta
Alas, 'tis no mere illness of the body, but a malign affliction of mine soul! So, um, back to bed.
Dorothea
Congratulations on winning the Battle of the Eagle and Lion. Did you get a special reward?
Petra
This is a place of mysteriousness. I have awareness of how much difference every part of the world is.
In a place alike to this place, you can imagine the goddess of Fódlan truly existing.
At times, I miss those places in Brigid. At times... I am missing those places so painfully.

I wonder how Remire Village is faring. Hopefully we're not dealing with some new epidemic.
It wouldn't be unheard of. Almost 20 years ago, a terrible plague blazed through Faerghus.
It even hit the capital city, taking the queen consort's life...or so I heard. The whole Kingdom was in an uproar over that loss.
The person who saved the Kingdom wasn't a doctor but a holy woman—the fair Lady Cornelia.
After that, she was awarded the honor of being a mage in the service of the royal family. She sounds like an amazing woman, but...

Raphael
Hey, Professor. Can I get your advice on something? I just don't know what to do anymore.
Ignatz & Hilda
Ah, Professor! The Battle of the Eagle and Lion was such good fun, don't you think?
Ignatz, how long are you going to keep harping on about the Battle of the Eagle and Lion?
Aw, come on, let me gush! Did you see how the house leaders came together after the battle?
True. If they can keep playing nice, perhaps there will be peace in Fódlan after all.

I thought we might make it through last month in peace, but no. Another incident just had to arise, didn't it?
If only this debacle had to do with Crests. Why, I'd have gone and dealt with it in an instant.
Manuela
I know you figure medicine and magical healing are two ways to do the same thing, but it's way deeper than that.
Medicine is all about preventing infection and suppressing symptoms with, well, medicine... That's probably obvious.
But magical healing is focused on closing up wounds faster, raising a body's vital energy, stuff like that.

Gilbert
The underlying cause is as yet unclear, and the most anyone can do is stand back and watch.
If it were indeed a disease, why would it only affect the villagers, and not infect the knights stationed there?
In that case, we should strengthen the guards. If you visit the village, Professor, please...take care.
The goddess?! You have spoken near blasphemy, and I would suggest a hasty apology!
Alois
Catherine & Shamir
If I take care of them quickly, what does it matter how many there are? Oh, sorry! We didn't mean to ignore you, Professor.
As you were saying, it's been a busy year. There never seem to be enough hands for the work.
Hey now, I'm the one who brought it up. We may be friends, but that's just rude.
Rhea
Sothis
Gatekeeper
Oh, except that Tomas departed the monastery and has yet to return. Consider that reported.
He's been gone for periods of time before and has always returned, so I'm not too worried. Still...
Shifty Merchant
Things we can't obtain here are likely obtainable by way of the underground.
Are you unfamiliar with Garreg Mach's underground? The place is an absolute paradise for those who can't stay above ground.

When news reached us of the disturbance, ours was the first unit dispatched to Remire.
We had renowned scholars and accomplished magic wielders with us. But in all honesty...I was scared witless the entire time.
For all we knew, it was an epidemic like the rumors suggested...and rumors aside, that place had an eerie air about it that chilled you right to the bone.
Knight of Seiros
The legend known across the ages as the Blade Breaker! And I get to see him with my own eyes!
Monk
Hm... You do not look well. Are you sure you aren't coming down with a cold or some other ailment?
Please visit a doctor, before your situation worsens. I suppose the infirmary is also an option.
Though when I went there the other day, I was unable to receive medical guidance, as Professor Manuela was drunk and fast asleep on the floor...
Knight of Seiros
Remire Village is in Empire territory, but it's still relatively close to the monastery.
Yuri
I can't shake the feeling that what went down in Remire Village is something other than a plague.

Yeah... I'm definitely worried about them. But I worry about you getting involved too.
Whoever you are, it doesn't matter much to me. But I do advise getting out of here before you get tangled up in trouble.
Unless you've been sent here under someone's orders. In which case, I'll happily show you a good time. Heh heh...
Hmmm. You're that mercenary turned professor, aren't you? The one who showed up at the monastery kinda recently.
Yeah, you're the one I've heard so much about. Well, I guess it's fine you're here, then.
You can call me Yuri. You'll want to remember that, if you ever come down here again.
Balthus
I hear you partied hard after winning the Battle of the Eagle and Lion. That a fact?
Truth is I knew you'd win. Counted on it, in fact. What do I mean by that? Heh, don't worry about it.
Winning the battle was great and all, but the after party was a complete letdown.
I guess I get it. There were some younger students around and all that. But still... What a waste.
We needed some fun juice, that's all I'm saying. But, yeah, it was still a fine time.
Constance
News of the affair at Remire Village has reached me. The situation seems rather dire.
Ah, you share my views? That speaks well of you. You have more than a commoner's share of integrity.
Though House Nuvelle has fallen, it is still every noble's duty to provide for the commonfolk.
Given your concern, would it not be appropriate for you to depart rather than idling the time away?
Hapi
Anna
I'd love to catch up, but I'm super busy right now. Working. For money. You understand.

There's unrest everywhere these days. All of my fellow merchants seem to be endangered.
I hope things go back to normal soon. People need more to smile about, aside from my great deals.
Some folks have made their home there. Obviously they all have their reasons and tales to tell.
But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.
Abysskeeper
Mr. Backup doesn't come by anymore—which is fine. Not incredibly rude or anything. Nope. Juuuust fine.
Wait a minute... Ah, got it. You're that new professor, aren't you? I suppose that means I have to let you pass.
I guess...welcome to Abyss! This town is full of rough-and-toughs, so watch your back down here.

I did indeed. I was acquainted with your parents. I've been wanting to speak with you for a while now.
Do you mind terribly picking up some fresh flowers to place upon your mother's grave?
