Professor Manuela! It's been far too long since we've had a proper chat. Let's fix that right now.

Too true, Dorothea. We hardly have a moment to spare here. But it's so nice to see you flourishing. It certainly brings back memories.

Manuela

You know, somehow you've gotten even prettier. The years have been kind to you.

Dorothea

That's something like a rose telling a daisy it's pretty, but I appreciate the compliment all the same.

Manuela
volume_up

Ha! Oh, honey. If that's the case, I hope you'll work hard to never become a rose like me. Too many thorns.

Dorothea
volume_up

Oh, stop it. You've accomplished a great deal. You should be proud.

Manuela
volume_up

That's a very nice sentiment and I appreciate it. Thank you.

So, I've been dying to know, how did you come to be enrolled here?
link
Manuela
volume_up

So, I've been very curious...
link
Manuela
volume_up

How did you end up enrolled at the academy, anyway?
link
Manuela
volume_up

I know you didn't have any family connections. How'd you do it?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Well, it did require pulling some noble strings.
link
Dorothea

But learning everything to pass the entrance exams? That was all me and very hard.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Especially while I was still singing for the opera. But I wanted the academy more than anything else.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Well, bravo and well-done.
link
Manuela
volume_up

You've always had to find your own way in life, haven't you? I so wish you could rely on people more often...
link
Manuela
volume_up

Still though, you haven't said why you worked so hard to get into Garreg Mach to begin with.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Isn't it obvious? Because you were here.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

When you retired, it broke my heart. But it also woke me up.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Seeing someone like you, who shined so brightly on the stage, give it all up and start a brand new life...
link
Dorothea
volume_up

It got me thinking about my own future, and what I wanted it to look like. As ever, I followed your lead.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Oh... Oh my. I...I don't know what to say.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I had also heard that the heirs to the Alliance, Empire, and the Kingdom were all enrolling this year...

Dorothea

I had also heard that the heirs to the Alliance, Empire, and the Kingdom were all enrolling as well...
link
Dorothea
volume_up

With such an exceptional crop of potential spouses, how could I go anywhere else?
link
Manuela
volume_up

And have you gotten what you were after? Your dreams, a future...and a good partner?

There have been good people, definitely. But as for my future... We'll see.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I'm sure I'll find my somebody someday. But I haven't found them yet.

Dorothea

Ahh, it's so nice to spend time with you again, Manuela. It's been too long.
