Sleep evades me, so I thought I'd get in some extra training. I was just about to finish.

Dimitri

Indeed. But I was thinking about ending it here.

Dimitri

Perhaps it is the gloomy weather, but I am feeling the sting of wounds that should have healed long ago...
link
What wounds?
link
Dimitri

The injury I got when that girl stabbed me after the battle at Gronder.
link
Dimitri

Her eyes were filled with revenge...just as mine once were.
link
Who was she?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I don't know... But I have a guess.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Ah, I suppose I haven't told you about that yet.
link
What are you talking about?

I was attacked inside the monastery the other day. It caused quite the uproar.
link
Dimitri

The ones who attacked me...were some of the youths we taught swordsmanship to, once upon a time.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Of course. I could capture the lot of them with my eyes closed.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It seems they were raised by a group of thieves who we put down five years ago.

I heard Lady Rhea took custody of them, claiming that the children were innocent.

Dimitri

I have taken so many lives...and with each one, I face hatred.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

During the last five years especially. My life was not so different from that of a wild beast...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

And that young girl's brother... At some point, I must have...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

That is why I thought it only natural that someone would retaliate someday.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Because I hated, because I stole, and... because I killed.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But with those children, it's different... We drew our blades with the best of intentions, only to hurt them in the end.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I suppose this is yet another thing we will just have to live with.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Yes...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

As one who chose to fight, it is my responsibility to confront this anguish and the true nature of war...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Until the day my life comes to an end.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Perhaps...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Thank you...
link
Dimitri

You know, Professor... There is something that I only recently realized.
link
Dimitri

I never knew it could be so...comforting to have someone standing by my side...
