Dedue, Dimitri enter the scene

Your Highness, you still have scars on your back.
link
Dedue
volume_up

It does you no good to languish in pain. I will procure some medicine.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

No, it is fine. They are still deep...these are from nine years ago. They do not hurt any longer.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Besides, it would be a shame if the scars I got from protecting you were to fade.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I bear these scars proudly. It makes me think that it was worthwhile that someone like me survived.
link
Dedue
volume_up

To hear you say such things...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Dedue, you say that I saved you, but do you know that you also saved me that day?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

If I had been unable to save anyone, I would have been the sole survivor. I would have had no reason to keep living.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But I saved someone—saved you. That and that alone has always been my crutch.
link
Dedue
volume_up

When I stood before those soldiers and their swords that day, I was prepared to die.
link
Dedue
volume_up

But then you suddenly appeared, and you shielded me.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I knew then that a savior's hand could reach into even the deepest darkness.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I still have not been able to repay that debt.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Have you not heard a word I've said? You have saved me in countless ways.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Five years ago, I did nothing but await my execution within my jail cell. Was it not you that saved me?
link
Dedue
volume_up

That was nothing more than my duty as your vassal.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Listen, Dedue... Perhaps you consider me to be someone special.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But I think the same of you. You are irreplaceable. Cherished.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

So stop saying that we cannot be friends. Stop saying such awful things.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Please...do not look at me that way.
link
Dedue
volume_up

You promised me you would build a Kingdom that is proud to boast of Duscur blood.
link
Dedue
volume_up

In this Kingdom, where there is no distinction between the people of Duscur and the people of Fódlan...
link
Dedue
volume_up

Will I finally, without reservation, be able to call you my friend?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Will I...Dimitri?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Dedue...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Yes, you will call me your friend, again and again. No matter how many hardships I must endure...
link
Dedue
volume_up

I will do all I can to bring about that world as well.
link
Dedue
volume_up

To be your friend...is what I have always wanted.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Is that so? I...I am glad to hear it.
link
Dedue
volume_up

But until that time, we must allow no harm to befall you.
link
Dedue
volume_up

So please call upon me when you walk alone at night.
link
Dedue
volume_up

And even when you go out in the day, please tell me where you are going, and whom you are meeting.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

In the end, I suppose there is no fixing your overprotectiveness, is there...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I suppose I can live with that.
