Caspar & Petra A

Caspar
Hey, Petra. How's training going?

Petra
It is going well. I am not having any troubles right now.

Caspar
Good, good... At least things haven't gotten worse, right? Heh.

Caspar
So...did, uh... Did you hear what happened the other day? The professor really—

Petra
Caspar.

Caspar
Oh! Whoa! OK, there's no need for that!

Petra
You are the son of my father's killer. That means I must be killing you and taking revenge.

Caspar
What?! I thought you said it wasn't a big deal! We're not our parents and all that!

Petra
Your optimism is not making sense. It is not possible that you are not having hatred for me.

Petra
My father was killed. By the Empire. By your father.

Petra
And so I will be impaling you on this blade to be satisfying a deep wish of mine.

Caspar
A deep wish... What are you talking about?!

Petra
I am talking about my wish. Of course...I am also having another wish. An even deeper wish.

Petra
I wish for you and I to keep being friends. To keep fighting and surviving together.

Petra
When you are speaking of your father, it is with a proud smile that injures my heart.

Petra
But that is only a small thing. You also are working harder than anyone I am knowing. So...I can't bring myself to be killing you.

Caspar
I see...

Caspar
So, you do hate me because of what happened, but...you still want to be my friend?

Caspar
You haven't stabbed me yet...so you obviously want me to live more than you want me to die...

Caspar
I hope?

Petra
That must be the truth. More than all of it, I am not wishing to be losing you. It would give me great sadness.

Caspar
OK, that's a relief! I don't want to lose you either, and I definitely don't want to fight you.

Caspar
To be honest, if things were the other way around...

Caspar
I don't think I'd be able to forgive you. I'd hate you, and I'd hate myself for feeling that way.

Petra
Caspar...

Caspar
But you're not like that! You see me as your ally... and your friend.

Caspar
You had the chance to kill me, but you used it to show me that you want me to live. You really are an incredible person, Petra.

Caspar
I want to be more like you. I want to prove that I'm a good friend.

Caspar
I promise, you won't regret letting me live!

Petra
You have my gratitude for your understanding. Hearing your words gives me great happiness.

Petra
I was always feeling a...barrier between our hearts. I am sure I was also the one putting it there.

Petra
But from now onward, I will be sharing all of my heart with you. My grief and anger, joy and love. All of it.

Caspar
I'd like that, Petra. From now on, we'll be more honest and open with each other.
