I apologize for chasing after you.

I really need to speak with you, but I can come back if now is not a good time.
link
No, now is fine.

Marianne

Thank you.

You've always been so accepting of me. You've never rejected me for my flaws.

Marianne

You have given me the strength and courage to look forward to my future.

But I won't know what to do with myself when the war has ended.

Marianne

When I'm gone, will I keep moving forward or back?
link
What do you want to do?
link
Marianne

Well, my adoptive father wants me to return home right away.

Though he put all that talk of marrying me off to a powerful noble on hold...for now.

Marianne

Apparently I'm being hailed as a hero back home. Can you imagine that? Me, a hero!

Marianne

And now my family wants me by their side so they can flaunt my new status about town. How silly.

Marianne

Even so, it is nice that my relationship with my adoptive father has improved. It is starting to feel as though I am a true daughter to him at last.

Will you return home as requested?
link
Marianne
volume_up

No. I've been considering what would be the best course for my future and...
link
Marianne
volume_up

Well, here! Please...won't you take this?
link
Marianne

I'm sorry for surprising you with this so suddenly. In truth...I've surprised even myself.
link
Marianne
volume_up

It's unthinkable that someone who spent their entire life avoiding people could offer you a ring...
link
Marianne
volume_up

But who I am now... It's all thanks to you. You've shown me a strength I didn't know I could possess.
link
Marianne

I wanted you to see how far I've come, and how much I've grown...
link
Marianne
volume_up

I guess...I wanted you to see me show a little bravery.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm not asking you to marry me here and now. That would...be a bit much, perhaps.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Maybe we can just think of this as a promise...that you will always be in my heart.
link
Marry me, Marianne.
link
Marianne
volume_up

What?! Really?
link
Marianne
volume_up

You would want to marry me? Even with all my flaws?
link
I love you just as you are.
link
Marianne
volume_up

You know...
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm stronger now, but I can grow even more if you stay by my side.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'll do everything in my power to support you...and I hope you will continue to support me as well!
link
Marianne

I...I love you. So very deeply. Thank you for giving me the world.
