Dimitri & Marianne A

Marianne
Hmm... Spared again...

Dimitri
So it would seem. I told you that you are extraordinarily lucky.

Marianne
Sometimes I think that must be true. But why me?

Marianne
Is this the goddess's way of telling me to make something of myself?

Marianne
There are so many others who are much more deserving of life...

Dimitri
I often think the same of myself... Especially after battles where many lives were lost.

Dimitri
But I must go on living. I cannot give in to death so readily.

Dimitri
It is my duty to atone for my sins, and to pay for the lives I've taken.

Dimitri
I suppose...that must be why the goddess allows me to live on.

Marianne
Is there a reason she allows me to live?

Dimitri
Only you can know that. But I believe there is a reason.

Marianne
...

Dimitri
Marianne... Life is difficult.

Marianne
It is a burden...

Marianne
It feels terrible to continue standing when so many others had to fall.

Dimitri
If that is so, then carry on as you are. There is no need for you to force yourself to smile as your soul bleeds.

Dimitri
But please... Whatever you do, do not give up on yourself, or your precious life.

Marianne
What do you mean?

Dimitri
If you were to die, I would be devastated.

Marianne
Hehe! You never have been easy to read.

Dimitri
Is that so?

Marianne
Everyone says that I need to cheer up...

Marianne
But you may be the first person to tell me not to.

Marianne
Your life must also be difficult for you to understand my position.

Dimitri
So it is. I often feel I am not strong enough to live it.

Marianne
I think our difficulties have brought us closer together.

Dimitri
Do you?

Marianne
Absolutely!

Marianne
Please, Dimitri. Promise you'll live through this war and long after.

Marianne
I don't know what I'd do with myself if we lost you...

Dimitri
As long as you are carrying on, I have yet another reason to carry on myself.

Dimitri
I promise to the goddess of Fódlan that I will never give you cause to despair.
