Ah, there it is. Just as I thought.

But what is she hiding?

Marianne

Oh, Linhardt. My apologies. I didn't mean to bother you.

Linhardt

Ah, Marianne. You're no bother at all. In fact, you've arrived at precisely the right time.

Marianne
volume_up

Huh? The right time...for what?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

You have a Crest, don't you?
link
Marianne
volume_up

I-I don't—what are you saying?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

If you hide it, that just makes it more interesting. You do have one.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I, um... Please don't tell anyone.
link
Marianne
volume_up

You can't tell anyone I have a Crest. If people find out, then...
link
Linhardt
volume_up

What?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Please! My adoptive father told me to keep it a secret!
link
Marianne
volume_up

And I personally don't want it known!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Who said I intended to tell anyone? Your secret is safe with me.

Linhardt

I find it fascinating that you carry the Crest of the Erased Hero—

Marianne
volume_up

Please! Stop! Don't say another word!
link
Marianne
volume_up

No one should know about or even speak of my Crest.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Nothing good comes of it. It's even the reason my parents disappeared.
link
Marianne
volume_up

This Crest only brings bad luck to anyone who comes near me.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Even you, Linhardt. You have to stay away.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Bad luck generated by the Crest? Now that would be a discovery well worth making.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

What manner of bad luck do you suppose might beset me?
link
Marianne
volume_up

No! You shouldn't be so cavalier about something you couldn't possibly understand!
link
Marianne
volume_up

I—I have to go.

Marianne leaves the scene

Linhardt

It's true, I don't understand...but I very much want to.
