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.
link
Lysithea

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

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

Now I'm just confused...and grossed out.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

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

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

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

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

Um...
link
Linhardt

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

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

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

Is that your theory, then?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Yes. It is.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

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

And that is the real issue at hand.
link
Lysithea
volume_up

I... I could have one removed?
link
Linhardt

That's what Hanneman is working on understanding. I'm helping him with it.
link
Linhardt

That's what Hanneman is working on understanding. I'm helping him with it.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

That's what Hanneman was working on understanding. I'm continuing his work.
link
Lysithea
volume_up

Professor Hanneman...
link
Linhardt
volume_up

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

I don't think I'd give up having two Crests if I were you.
link
Lysithea
volume_up

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...
link
Lysithea
volume_up

That's what you'd think?
link
Lysithea
volume_up

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