Dedue, Ingrid enter the scene

Are you injured?

Ingrid

Dedue. Saving the day again?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Apologies.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm the one who owes you an apology.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You've saved my life how many times now?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

If I keep being so callous, I'll seem ungrateful.
link
Dedue
volume_up

No matter.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

But...
link
Dedue
volume_up

I'm accustomed to it.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm sorry, Dedue.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Why?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Because the way I speak to you is unnecessarily harsh.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

The truth of it is, I lost someone very dear to me in Duscur.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

The punishment came swift to your people, and when I heard of the slaughters...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Well... I thought it was a punishment well earned. I thought the people cruel and heartless, deserving of the tragedy that ultimately befell them.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

But you? You're different. You seem nothing like the people of whom I speak.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

So why not speak back against how I and so many others feel?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Why not question this unfair prejudice, and tell me I haven't the right to hold a grudge against you?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

If you'd just speak to me—if you'd tell me the truth about all of this...
link
Dedue
volume_up

I do not know the truth of it, myself.
link
Dedue
volume_up

His Highness says the tragedy was not the fault of my people.
link
Dedue
volume_up

But just like anywhere, there were many different people in Duscur. Some very good, and others very bad.
link
Dedue
volume_up

It is not unimaginable that some may have conspired to take part in that wickedness.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Perhaps we are merely victims. Or perhaps we are regicidal monsters.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Whatever the truth of it is, you are not to blame.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

The people I hate are the ones who are responsible for that whole mess. You...you just got caught up in all of it.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Ingrid.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You've rushed to my side—you've saved me countless times.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I am sorry for how I've treated you. Truly.
link
Dedue
volume_up

If you think of me as your ally, that will suffice.
link
Dedue
volume_up

For me, that is enough.
