Marianne & Hanneman A

Marianne
Um... Professor Hanneman?

Hanneman
Why, hello, Miss Marianne. A visit from you is a rare pleasure indeed.

Marianne
I, um... I wanted your opinion on something.

Hanneman
Oh, how intriguing. Whatever is on your mind?

Marianne
I'm beginning to feel that I should...accept who I am.

Marianne
I thought it might be time to change my training regimen...to utilize my Crest. Even if just a little.

Hanneman
What a splendid thought. Quite exceptional!

Hanneman
May I ask how it is you've reached this conclusion?

Hanneman
I admit, I did not imagine my words would do much to sway you.

Marianne
The truth is that I was already considering it before we spoke.

Marianne
All of my allies work relentlessly to achieve their goals, both on and off the battlefield.

Marianne
Seeing this, it occurred to me that I have nothing to work toward. I'm no use to anyone.

Marianne
If I could accept who I am, even a little, I might be able to change that.

Marianne
I was still considering, but after we spoke about it...well...

Hanneman
Well, indeed! So it seems my words resonated with you after all.

Marianne
I'm sorry. I know I'm not the best at communicating.

Marianne
But it's true... Your words gave me a lot to think about. They helped me come to this decision.

Marianne
Whatever my Crest, it should serve me.

Hanneman
That's it! Exactly right, Miss Marianne!

Marianne
That's not to say I've accepted it completely...

Marianne
But I refuse to continue living in fear of myself!

Hanneman
I have every confidence that you will succeed at drawing out your Crest's full strength.

Hanneman
And I intend to help you at every step. If you'll have my help, that is.

Marianne
Of course. Your knowledge is much appreciated.
