Byleth & Hilda A

Hilda
Professor, I asked to be on the sidelines! Why'd you put me on the battlefield?

Hilda
You did protect me, so I guess I can't complain...

Hilda
Wait a second—you're hurt! Did that happen when you were defending me?

Hilda
Perhaps you'll say that that's what friends do. They look out for each other, and save each other.

Hilda
But if I saw you getting attacked, I wouldn't risk my neck to save you.

Hilda
No! Don't overestimate me.

Hilda
I don't know if I've told you this, Professor. I have a very impressive big brother.

Hilda
I'm not just saying that. He's strong, smart, nice. He's basically perfect.

Hilda
Before Claude turned up, people talked about him becoming the next leader of the Alliance.

Hilda
Anyway, my parents have high expectations for my brother, and he almost always meets them.

Hilda
No one expects anything of me. If something's even a little bit difficult, I find someone else to do it for me.

Hilda
That's what I've done my whole life.

Hilda
Of course! I can't stand the idea of not meeting someone's expectations.

Hilda
I know how people react when that happens. From watching my brother, I mean.

Hilda
People force their expectations on you, and then if you fail they look so...disappointed.

Hilda
Whenever that happens to my poor brother, he looks just devastated.

Hilda
So don't expect anything of me, please. That way, I can't disappoint you!

Hilda
You're stubborn! OK, fine. Keep believing in me.

Hilda
I do want to support you and support my friends...

Hilda
I just don't want to let you down.
