Linhardt & Lysithea B

Linhardt
There you are, Lysithea. I've been looking for you. So I have a hypothesis about your Crests...

Lysithea
I know you're the one who sent me that "anonymous" letter.

Lysithea
"There are things we must discuss..." Ugh, it sounded like some bizarre love letter.

Linhardt
What? No. Of course not. However, I wonder what you would have done if it was...

Lysithea
Now I'm just confused...and grossed out.

Linhardt
I'm sorry, but that is not the overall topic of discussion. Do pay attention.

Lysithea
Pay attention to you? As though anything you say is worth listening to.

Lysithea
It's not like you can tell me anything I don't already know.

Linhardt
You don't have a very positive opinion of your Crests, do you? That's why you should listen to me.

Lysithea
Um...

Linhardt
I've dug through all my books, and there's no record of anyone being born with two Crests.

Linhardt
You are, to be blunt, an impossible occurrence.

Linhardt
For you to have a second Crest, it must have been forcibly implanted after birth.

Lysithea
Is that your theory, then?

Linhardt
Yes. It is.

Linhardt
To further the theory, if the power exists to implant a Crest, then it must be possible to remove one too.

Linhardt
And that is the real issue at hand.

Lysithea
I... I could have one removed?

Lysithea
Professor Hanneman...

Linhardt
Based on your reaction, it seems you want one of your Crests removed...

Linhardt
I don't think I'd give up having two Crests if I were you.

Lysithea
Is that so? Even if you'd gone through horrifying experiments, endless trauma, and if you knew that all this pain meant you'd die very, very young...

Lysithea
That's what you'd think?

Lysithea
You're completely lacking in empathy, so of course you would make such a crass and foolish assumption.
