Linhardt, I understand you'd endanger yourself to realize your dreams.

Catherine

But why go this far? You never seemed like the type to put this much effort into anything.

Linhardt

Honestly, I find most everything annoying, which is most likely why you have such an opinion of me.

But to continue my research without taking this chance to know the truth—what would be the point?

Besides ignorance can breed even greater dangers.

For example, do you know for whom Thunderbrand was originally crafted?

Catherine

The goddess.

Linhardt

Correct. And because of that, everyone just stops thinking about it.

No one really knows what the Relic is made of, how it was crafted, or what its very structure may be.

Until we know those things and truly understand the power and the danger Relics hold...

Linhardt

We won't be able to...gain any new knowledge. I'm tired of talking.

If you really want to risk your life, I won't stop you.

You've got guts. I'll give you that. But don't blame me if something bad happens.

Linhardt

If something happens, it happens. Finding out the truth means accepting the risks.

Linhardt

Those who've identified plants, both poisonous and medicinal, took the same risk in eating each.

Linhardt

I'm just like those people.

Catherine

OK, fine. I give up. You win.
link
Catherine

I'll let you hold Thunderbrand just this once. Go on, give it a try.

Catherine

And...don't worry about something bad happening. I'll be right here.
