Ah, Linhardt. Reading as studiously as ever, I see. Anything to do with Crests?

Hello, Professor Hanneman. Actually this book's about fishing.

Hanneman

I didn't realize you were interested in fishing. What an unexpected discovery.

Hanneman

I had heard that you were only interested in Crests, to the exclusion of all else.

As it were, I had rather thought I could train you as my successor, should we get to know one another better.

Linhardt

I'm sorry to betray your expectations.

Linhardt

Truth be told, I've been thinking of giving up on my Crest research.

Hanneman

What?! Whatever for? Don't tell me you believe fishing to be a more worthwhile pursuit!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

No, it's nothing to do with fishing. I adore the subject of Crests.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

But to study them, you have to consult the people who bear them, right?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I just don't have the energy for that.
link
Hanneman

It is an unavoidable hardship, I admit...
link
Hanneman

But the satisfaction of making a real breakthrough is second to none!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I'm sure the satisfaction of catching a fish is pretty great too.
link
Hanneman

Consider this, child.

Luring fish from the depths pales in comparison to untangling the mysteries of a Crest. Why? It all comes down to purpose. Purpose, I say!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Calm down. I get it. Really.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Evidently, you do not. You must have something to work toward in life.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

The ultimate goal of fishing is to eat the fish. The goal of solving the mysteries of Crests is... Well, you must find that for yourself.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

What do you hope to uncover once everything is finally explained? What motivates you to keep digging deeper?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I...had never thought about it like that.

Linhardt

Perhaps if I did have a goal, I might share your enthusiasm on the subject.
