Maribelle	The enemy is scattering! Now's our chance to end this!
Sully	Right—let's get in there and smash some heads already! CHARGE!
Kjelle	Hold it! We'll handle things from here, Mother!
Brady	Yeah. We'll make sure they get the treatment they so sorely need...
Panne	And we're to stay back? Why? It'll be faster for all of us to finish them off together.
Yarne	M-Mother... Cornered prey lashes out most violently! So, please... Let us take care of them... E-even if it is...distressing.
Nowi	Huh?! No fair! I wanted to play some more too... I'm coming with!
Nah	Mother...the battlefield isn't a playground, remember? You're supposed to stay focused!
Kjelle	We survived the cruel world we were born into, so we're ready for whatever this battle has in store.
Brady	Even if ya came along, Ma, you'd all just end up in the way.
Maribelle	In...the...WAY?! How DARE you! How rude can you be? Honestly! ...You're sure you're MY son?
Nah	If we don't go now, we'll miss our chance to hit the enemy before they regroup. Let's go—quickly.
Kjelle	Mother, please fall back and secure the rear line. There are sure to be wounded in need of tending.
Sully	H-hey, just hang on a minu— Oh... They're already gone.
Nowi	Ugh! How borrrring! How come I get left out of all the fun?!
Panne	...
Sharena	Will Brady and his friends be all right out there, Alfonse?
Alfonse	Brady, Kjelle, and the rest hail from a different world... It seems they've come from their parents' future. But...even though they are parents and children, they're all Heroes here. I imagine it's all...difficult to process.
Sharena	I guess that's true... But I still think it'd be better if they'd try working together a bit more...

マリアベル	敵は総崩れですわ！ 今がチャンスです！
ソワレ	よし、一気に突き崩そう！ 突撃だ！
デジェル	母さん、待って！ ここからは私たちが行くわ。
ブレディ	あとは俺たちがきっちりと カタにはめてやる。
ベルベット	どうして私たちが下がる必要が…？ 皆で一斉に片付けてしまえばいいわ。
シャンブレー	あ、あのな、母ちゃん。 獲物ってのは追い詰められたときが 一番死にものぐるいで抵抗するんだ。 だからここは、俺たちに任せてくれよ。 …怖いけど。
ノノ	えー！ ノノ、まだ遊び足りなーい！ 一緒に行くー！
ンン	お母さん、前にも言いましたけど 戦いは遊びではないのです。 お気楽な気持ちで戦われても困るのです。
デジェル	私たちは…幼い頃から 過酷な世界を生き抜いてきて 鍛え方には自信があります。
ブレディ	わかりやすく言うとだな… 母さんたちについて来られても 足手まといになるってんだよ。
マリアベル	なっ！？　なんですってぇ……！ 言うに事欠いて、足手まといとは 失礼にもほどがありますわよ！？
ンン	機を逃すと、敵が態勢を 立て直してしまうです。 皆さん、行きましょう。
デジェル	母さんたちは後方に下がって 負傷者の手当や敗残兵の 捜索をお願いします。
ソワレ	あっ、おい……！ ああ…行ってしまった。
ノノ	つまんなーい！ ノノ、置いてかれちゃった…
ベルベット	…………
シャロン	ブレディさんたち、 大丈夫でしょうか？
アルフォンス	ブレディやデジェルたちは 元の世界でも…親たちに会うために 未来からやってきたらしいね。 でも、関係上は親と子だけど 目の前にいるのは同世代の英雄… いろいろ思うところがあるのかもしれない。
シャロン	うーん、親と子で力をあわせて 仲良くやってくれるといいんですけど…

Maribelle	How dare he say something like that? We're not in the way! I can't get over the rudeness! It's unacceptable! Just how was he raised, I wonder? I'd like to have a few words with his mother...
Sharena	It's, um, not really something to get upset about. I'm sure they had a reason for their behavior.
Nowi	Do you think...Nah hates me? Oh no! Maybe the me from the future took away her snacks!
Sully	That can't be it. Didn't Nah say she's been alone for as long as she can remember?
Nowi	S-so, then...is she angry at me for leaving her...all alone? *sniff*
Panne	Don't worry, Nowi. The you of the present is not responsible for the actions of your future self. Even so...I, too, have felt the distance between us and the children since they joined us in Askr.
Sully	Agreed. The Kjelle I knew in Ylisse would never pass up the chance to spar with me. Yet...she's found plenty of Heroes to test her skills against. Makes me feel kinda lonely, actually...
Nowi	I just wanna play with Nah more! Ugh! This is just borrrring...
Sully	Uh-oh... Could it be that they're going through one of those, um...rebellious phases people talk about? I'm not sure I'm really for this level of parenting...
Sharena	Err... No, I don't think that's it...
Maribelle	I wonder...should we punish them now to correct such boorish behavior before it becomes a problem?
Sharena	How about this! I'll talk to them and see if I can find out what's going on!
Panne	Hmm... That does seem preferable to asking them ourselves.
Maribelle	Perhaps so... We wouldn't want them pushing back any more than they are. Princess Sharena, would you mind?
Sharena	No problem! Leave it to me!
Nowi	I'll go with you! Let's goooo!
Sully	Wait! Nowi! If you go, then the whole point of asking Princess Sharena would— Aaand they're already gone.
Maribelle	Honestly, I can't imagine what has gotten into those children...

Brady	i ain't so sure this plan was a good idea after all.
Nah	Don't worry. It'll be fine.
Yarne	Yeah... D-don't worry...
Kjelle	We have to keep our mothers safe. We must protect them, no matter what happens.
Brady	I hear ya, but...I may never forgive myself for tellin' Ma and them they'd get in our way.
Nah	It was part of the plan, and it worked. If we hadn't told them off so strongly, they would have never fallen back.
Kjelle	We must not allow tragedy to strike a second time—and that's that. We have to get stronger, to protect our mothers from any danger that may rear its head.
Brady	You're right! This time, I'm gonna be the one doin' the protectin'.
Yarne	I never had a chance to be a good son to Mother. That's why I want her to live a long life this time around.
Nah	Even though Mother was a thousand years old, she was much too young to die. I want her to play around more, see more things...live a long, long life.
Brady	Then, it's up to us! Let's change destiny, with our own two hands!
Kjelle	Even if we have to die trying...this time, things will be different...
Sharena	Did you hear all that?
Nowi	Huh. So they just want to protect us? That's why they're trying to keep us away from the battlefield! How kind of them!
Sharena	Family cares for family—that feeling doesn't change, no matter the world. But there's no need for anyone to sacrifice themselves! There has to be another way...

Maribelle	Brady! Where are you?! You really made a mess of things this time!
Brady	Yeesh! Ma?! I'd recognize that look anywhere...
Panne	Yarne... Do you have something you need to tell us?
Yarne	Yipe! Kjelle, I think they're onto us! Wh-what do we do?
Kjelle	Curses! How could they—
Nowi	Oh, that was me. I kinda...overheard you all talking, and, well...
Nah	And then you told Maribelle about what we had planned, right?
Sharena	Sorry! We didn't mean to eavesdrop...
Sully	We're thankful you're so concerned over us, but...this isn't the way to go about things, Kjelle.
Kjelle	...
Maribelle	For starters, we're not so fragile that you children need fear for our safety!
Brady	How can ya be so sure, Ma? A war's on, and things happen in war, y'know!
Yarne	I...we...don't want to let our mothers die—not again!
Sharena	Yarne...
Maribelle	I understand how you feel, but... Even if we were to survive, if you children died to protect us... that'd be no different than us dying! Either way, we'd be losing our future. None of us want that!
Sully	What's the point of living if your child has to die? There's no way we can accept that.
Nowi	It can't just be one way or the other... That would be terrible! It's like, if you're carrying a heavy pack—why not share the load if someone offers to help? You'll both have to carry something, but at least you won't be carrying it alone!
Panne	Plus...to us, your lives are more important than our own.
Yarne	M-Mother!
Sharena	There's nothing stronger or more precious than the ties between parent and child! That's why, if there's something worrying both sides, you should join together to overcome it!
Kjelle	Mother...forgive me. We just...
Sully	Don't worry, Kjelle. I'm proud to have a daughter who cares so much about her mother!
Kjelle	Thank you...Mother...
Nowi	Don't just struggle alone! There're tons of Heroes around here, so it'd be silly not to work together! Nah, you and I will be together for a long, long time still!
Nah	Thank you...I'm tired of being alone. I'm happy if we can be together, Mother...for as long as we can.
Maribelle	Then it's decided! From this day forward, we're working together! And together, we will take control of our destinies.
Brady	Heh, I'm no match for you, Ma...so I guess there's no use fightin' it! Let's do this together!
Sharena	Phew... I was worried for a second there, but it looks like everything's all settled! Your bonds are sure to form a bridge that leads to a wonderful new future. I hope you stay this close forever!
Maribelle	Actually, Princess Sharena, we're not quite done here... I have yet to properly scold Brady for his earlier audacity!
Brady	Wait a sec—only ME?!

Alfonse	What's that? There's a violent dragon in the forest...and no one recognizes it?
Anna	Yes. We've had multiple reports over the last few days. Fortunately, no one's been injured... yet. The fact is that this may be a manakete who stands against Askr.
Alfonse	Understood, but...I must see for myself. It wouldn't be prudent to make a blind decision here.
Yarne	H-hey, Prince Alfonse... Mind if I join you?
Alfonse	Yes, I'd appreciate your company, actually, Yarne. I hear taguel have amazing hearing—perfect for recon.
Anna	Hm. And here I thought you were the type who avoids conflict whenever possible, Yarne...
Yarne	W-well, yes... I usually try to stay out of danger, generally, but there's something I, too, must see myself.
Alfonse	Right, then. We'll figure out what's going on before anyone gets hurt. Once you're ready, let's head out.

Alfonse	Hmm... This is the area mentioned in the reports... Hear anything, Yarne?
Yarne	Hang on. Stay quiet for a moment... ...Ah! I can hear trees being knocked down in the distance—that way!
Alfonse	Right, let's go. Stay vigilant...
Yarne	...Hey! Over there! Something's kicking up a cloud of dust!
Alfonse	Rrgh! And these tremors...whatever's doing all this must be massive! But... what does it want?!
Yarne	I fear it's as I suspected... Have you seen that dragon before, Prince Alfonse?
Alfonse	Hmm... Have I? Now that you mention it, the color of those scales and the shape of its snout do look familiar...
Yarne	Hey, Nah! That's you, isn't it? They've been getting reports about you back at the castle, you know!
Nah	...Huh? Yarne? And...Prince Alfonse?! Wh-what are you two doing here?
Yarne	We heard a huge dragon was running amok in the forest, and wanted to see what the situation was, but...
Nah	O-oh...really? I made sure no one was nearby before I...well, "ran amok." If I was seen...I failed. This is...the greatest shame of my life.
Alfonse	But, Nah...why were you rampaging through the forest to begin with?
Nah	W-well, I was trying to practice using Fire-Lightning-Wind Breath...
Alfonse	A fire, lightning...AND wind breath?! Nah, that's...incredible!
Yarne	Hm. That's not the whole truth, is it?
Nah	Er... Well... I'm sorry, Prince Alfonse. It's just... sometimes I get the urge to transform and destroy stuff in my dragon form. I came out here to let loose so I could maintain my composure back at the castle.
Alfonse	I see…
Nah	I’m sorry. I guess I really am just one more immature manakete…
Alfonse	I’m glad there wasn’t an incident. Would you like to head back with us now? Commander Anna worries.

Alfonse	Oh. hello, Nah. Do you...need something?
Nah	Prince Alfonse... I wanted to apologize for the trouble I caused.
Alfonse	What trouble? Oh, that? No need to worry! I explained the situation to everyone.
Nah	But even so, I made people worry. I've decided that I will refrain from going into the forest from now on...
Alfonse	Oh, Nah, you don't have to— Oh. She's already gone.
Kjelle	Poor Nah...
Alfonse	Being summoned to Askr, on top of everything else, must have only added to her stress...
Kjelle	Well, she's the serious, hardworking type, so she always tries to hide any sort of vulnerability. In our world—in our time—she lived in a foster home after her parents died...but she was not treated kindly. So, as a result, she has a habit of avoiding actions that might displease others...
Alfonse	I see... I'm sympathetic, of course... But we can't really allow her to just wreak havoc out there.
Kjelle	But she can't be starting fights whenever she feels the urge to let off some steam...
Alfonse	Hmm... Perhaps I'll present the issue to [Summoner]... We'll find some way to help Nah!

Nah	Hm-hmm... Hm-hmhmm... Hee!
Brady	You're in good spirits today, eh, Nah? Find some candy or somethin'?
Nah	Please...don't try to lump me in with my mother! ...Which isn't to say don't give me candy, if you've got some. ...You don't actually have any candy, do you? Hmph. Figures. Anyway! Since you asked, I'm in a good mood because I got to visit— get this—a flying castle! [Summoner] took me!
Brady	Floatin' castle, huh? Yeah, I've heard there's one up there...
Alfonse	*ahem* We call it the Aether Keep. So, Nah, I take it you were invited up by [Summoner]?
Nah	Yes! There are some really strong Heroes up there, so I could totally let loose!
Alfonse	Hmm... I can see why that'd be perfect for you. The folks up there don't mind a battle now and again!
Nah	I know you had something to do with it, Prince Alfonse, so...thank you! Now I have no need to wreck the forest. Next time I need to work off some stress, I'll head to the Aether Keep with [Summoner]!
Alfonse	I'm just happy to see a smile on your face, so I'll be sure to personally thank [Summoner] as well. While it is the Order of Heroes' mission to win battles and restore peace to Askr... I believe part of our duty is to ensure everyone in Askr has whatever they need to lead a happy life. With those small victories as our foundation, we can build momentum toward our ultimate victory: peace.

Sharena	Hey, uh...Brady?
Brady	Huh? Princess Sharena? Listen. I told ya not to worry 'bout me.
Sharena	I'm sorry, but I can't do that! You're an important friend, Brady—whether you like it or not! And since you're someone I care about, I'm going to worry, worry, and worry some more, got it?!
Brady	Yeah...sure. But I warned ya!
Sharena	So, what's the matter? Is it just that you worry what people think when they see your face?
Brady	That's one way to put it, yeah... This is the face of a hardened criminal, ain't it? I mean, when I first met my own Ma after traveling from the future, she thought I was some sorta scoundrel!
Sharena	W-Well... You're not really a scoundrel, right?
Sharena	I may be young, but I AM a fine judge of character—trust me! Here, take a look at this, if you don't mind.
Brady	A book...about Heroes? You write this?
Sharena	Yes! It's a collection of character profiles on Heroes who arrive in Askr, as seen through my eyes. I'm even doing all the illustrations myself! Pretty neat, huh?
Brady	This is...amazing! Ya really go into a lot of detail... W-wait... Is this...me?!
Sharena	Of course! You're one of the latest additions! As you can see, I made sure to note that you're a kind Hero who's considerate to all of his friends!
Brady	Hmph... That's— I'm tellin' ya, I ain't that kinda Hero! I don't deserve nearly as much praise as all that! But still...since ya went to the trouble...thanks.
Sharena	Hm? What was that last bit?
Brady	Huh? Nothin'! Er, I just remembered... there's somethin' I need to do. Right now. So, uh...see ya around!
Sharena	Oh, Brady... Someday soon everyone will realize that your rough exterior hides a heart that is truly kind.

Fjorm	I can't wait! But, Brady...I do still have one question for you... Why did you stop me to talk the other day?
Brady	Oh, I'd heard...about ya. About Nifl and Múspell, the war. How, even with your back against the wall, you... Ya never gave up. Ya kept fightin', tooth and nail, all for the sake of others...

Fjorm	Oh... I see... Well, now I know that, even though you may look...tough, you're a good person. And that's what matters! I should thank you for helping me learn this lesson. It seems I have more to learn from Sharena as well...
Brady	Yeah, don't mention it. Happens all the time! Anyway, sit tight—I'm gonna go find us some good tea leaves!
Sharena	I'm glad all that got cleared up. All's well that ends well, as they say! Though...I hope next time ends with me getting some tea too!

Kjelle	Hmph. Whatever the case, you'll be more likely to survive through battle. That much is certain... ...Fine. I suppose I'll let you try one of my spare suits of heavy armor. It's called, uh..."Argent Lion Mail," but... Actually, never mind all that Just try it on.
Yarne	Hm...with a name like that, it— Huh? It's not nearly as heavy as I expected! This might actually be doable for me! How about it, Kjelle? Can I borrow this armor for a while? I want to see how well I'm able to move around in it!
Kjelle	Go right ahead. Just don't break it.
Kjelle	...Huh? You're returning the armor already? Was it too heavy for you? Or did you just not like it?
Yarne	Neither, actually... It's just that...I realized I can't transform while I'm wearing it. I tried, but...my arms and legs just got jammed up and bent at weird angles! It wasn't good... Plus my fur got caught in the seams!
Kjelle	I suppose we should have seen that coming...
Yarne	I mean, I think I could fight in it if I didn't transform, but...then I'd lose my speed advantage!
Kjelle	Hm. I guess you're just not cut out for heavy armor after all, huh?

Brady	Ya wanna survive on the battlefield, huh? Why not learn the healin' arts, like I did?
Yarne	Healing arts, eh? Hmm...
Brady	They ain't JUST for helpin' others, y'know. You can tend to your own wounds too. Havin' 'em as part of your tool set will help keep ya from bitin' the dust as easy.
Yarne	I see... That sounds...really nice, actually! Being able to heal others is nice— and I bet folks are pretty grateful! So, Brady, how long will it take me to learn the arts?
Brady	Convinced already, are ya? Well, relax—it's easier than learnin' the violin. That's for sure. For you? I'd say...a few years at best, and a few decades at worst.
Yarne	D-decades?! Given the kinds of battles we get in, I'll be long dead by then!
Brady	Look. Who says you gotta fight? Just hang back and heal until ya get the hang of it. It's perfect for ya!
Yarne	It sounds nice, don't get me wrong, but I need a solution I can use now!

Nah	So...you're terrified your kind will go extinct? In that case, you should learn how to survive any situation.
Yarne	What do you mean? Are there... techniques I can learn?
Nah	Well, all living things get hungry, right? And if they don't eat, they lose their strength, and eventually die.
Yarne	Yeah, I know that much.
Nah	So, one technique is learning to find and secure food—and being willing to eat anything, regardless of tastes.
Yarne	Makes sense. When you're desperate, you can't afford to be a picky eater.
Nah	That's right! Now, with that being said... Here. Chew this.
Yarne	Wh-what is this? Some gnarled-up root? I'm not sure I should put that in my mouth...
Nah	It won't kill you! But not eating when you're hungry will. Don't be shy. Try a little bite.
Yarne	I'm less shy and more...concerned for my digestion. But if you think I should try it, here goes nothing! Hrk! Oh, no... You don't actually call this food, do you?!
Nah	Why wouldn't I? Ooh! Try chewing it up until it's a nice mash. That way you can taste all the flavor notes!
Yarne	How can you say that when there are no flavors?! It's just...mush! If this is what it takes to survive, maybe I'm just not cut out for this world... I don't think I can stomach it.
Nah	*munch* It's pretty good once you get used to it... If your diet isn't balanced, the clock ticking down toward your extinction only goes faster...
Yarne	How about this... I'll just avoid situations where I have to eat weird roots in the first place...

Kjelle	So you haven't been able to find a way to avoid dying an early death yet, then?
Yarne	Yeah... Not for any lack of trying on the part of you all...
Brady	I still think ya should reconsider pickin' up the healin' arts...
Nah	Tree roots really ARE delicious, you know...
Yarne	Yeah, yeah—I get it! Enough already! This whole mess got me thinking... There are many ways to avoid death. But I think the best method has got to be sticking together with you all!
Kjelle	Huh? That's your takeaway?
Yarne	Yeah! No matter what weird request I've had, you've all been there for me when I needed your help. With friends like you, I don't need to feel so afraid about what's around every corner...
Brady	Yeah, well, what're pals for, right?
Nah	We're all different, but we're all still friends. And that bond of friendship is the strongest there is!
Kjelle	Right. I think it goes without saying that we'd never leave a friend out to dry. We're in this together.
Yarne	If I was alone, I probably would've gone extinct a long time ago. I have all of you to thank. But I've no doubt that, together, we can carve out a bright future.
Brady	Seems like that worked for your Ma, right?
Nah	Hmm... Just like how your body can starve if you go without food, your heart can starve without companions. So I suppose the best survival technique is, to put it simply, to be with friends you trust.
Kjelle	That's right. This armor isn't just for protecting my own skin. It's also for protecting my friends. Whatever happens, Yarne, don't ever hesitate to lean on us for support.
Yarne	Thank you—all of you. I feel...for the first time in a long time, like maybe I won't go extinct after all! As long as we're together, we'll make in through whatever obstacles come our way!

Kjelle	Everything seems ready. My gear is prepped, and my body feels light. Today's training'll yield good results!
Sharena	You sure seem to be in good spirits today, Kjelle! Let's do our best out there on the field today, all right?
Kjelle	Ah, Princess Sharena. We're being deployed together, are we? I hope I live up to your expectations.
Sharena	Our training today is set to be held on a battlefield designed to resemble an abandoned village. There are six key bases spread around the village, and whoever controls the most wins!
Kjelle	Hm. I'm used to sparring one-on-one, but the battlefield is another story. I've been looking forward to this.
Sharena	Me too! Now...let's get out there!
Kjelle	Nngh...
Sharena	...elle! Hey, Kjelle!
Kjelle	Ugh... Wh-where am I?
Sharena	Thank goodness! You've come to!
Kjelle	That's right... We were...in the middle of a mock training battle, and... And... then something happened... Oh! A knight in black armor came out of nowhere and...took me out with a single blow...
Sharena	Hm. Well, the mock battle is over. Our opponents captured all the bases we had secured...
Kjelle	I was defeated... Without being any use whatsoever... Even though I've stayed up countless nights training... I was so confident...
Sharena	D-don't worry, Kjelle! We'll get 'em next time, right?
Kjelle	Mrrghh...

Nah	Kjelle... It's time to come out of your armor now... Even IF it calms you down, it cannot be good for you to be in there for so long.
Yarne	You know she's right, Kjelle. And trust me—I know how it feels to want to run away and hide... But you can't live your whole life from inside your armor.
Kjelle	I'm not running away.
Yarne	Princess Sharena told us everything. Is losing some mock battle really a reason to be so down in the dumps?
Kjelle	Losing is fine. It happens. It's...how I lost that isn't. How could I lose to another knight so easily?
Nah	"Victory is never guaranteed," as they say... I'm sure the next one will go better. You're a great knight, after all!
Kjelle	It wasn't mere chance that I was beaten. I was thoroughly outmatched. Outclassed. The long days and nights I spent training instilled me with a certain confidence... But I had only my past self to measure my improvement against.
Yarne	D-don't worry about it so much, Kjelle. I, for one, know how strong you are!
Kjelle	Not strong enough... I must get stronger. I have to be strong enough to prevent the tragedy of our time from repeating itself.
Nah	Kjelle...
Kjelle	What can I do? What...am I missing?!

Kjelle	I must...get stronger. Strong enough to overcome even the most powerful Heroes here. But how? How can I close the gap?
Brady	Oof... Man, everything hurts. Geez, that guy could've gone a little easier on me...
Kjelle	Brady? What happened? You look... terrible!
Brady	Oh, this? I was just trainin'. The guy said he was monk, but...I'm not so sure... He beat me up, all with this smile on his smug mug.
Kjelle	So, you lost...
Brady	Yeah. But these are just growing pains, y'know? Gotta take a few lumps to get stronger sometimes.
Kjelle	Growing pains, huh?
Brady	Yeah. This place is full of Heroes who are legends in their world, y'know— and we're training with 'em! On the one hand, we're just rookie weaklings compared to them... But! Since we're as green as we are, we got all this room to learn and grow and improve! Even if we don't have a hope of winnin', at least we can say we had a chance to spar with the greats!
Kjelle	I understand what you're getting at. I'ts just that...the gap between our skill levels is so wide...
Brady	You just can't see how we can ever cross that distance, eh? It's true that, even if ya fought one hundred battles, you'd probably end up losin' to 'em every single time... But the you who gets up after bein' beat all those times would be that much stronger.
Kjelle	... Muscles only get stronger if you work them...flex them. Even if I don't win...I can still learn. I can still grow... I lost sight of that. Hmph. To think you, of all people, would be the one to remind me of that. I really have gotten soft...
Brady	What's that supposed to mean?! Sheesh. Ya try to be helpful...
Kjelle	Hm. Growing pains... Whatever it takes—I will get stronger!

Sharena	Nice work out there today, Kjelle! Today's mock battle was pretty close, huh? We almost won!
Kjelle	You played no small part yourself, Princess Sharena. But thank you. This time, some demonic giant, who... carried a pumpkin...knocked me flying with his axe. The Order of Heroes sure attracts a wide variety of...unique members.
Sharena	Well, I hope you're OK! I can call Brady over if you're injured.
Kjelle	For these scratches? He'd just laugh. While I'm still not satisfied with my performance... My main goal isn't to win anymore—it's to grow. That's what makes even the losing battles worth it.
Sharena	Kjelle... There's a spark in your eyes that wasn't there before. They're practically glowing!
Nah	So they are! The positive outlook suits you, Kjelle.
Yarne	Yeah! I like happy Kjelle!
Kjelle	I'm sorry for worrying you all...
Brady	So, ya really leaned into the idea that your power will only grow if ya use it, huh? Then, let us join ya, side by side! You're not the only one who's aimin' to get stronger, y'know.
Kjelle	You're right... You all have just as much reason to get stronger as I do. And if we all use our power together, we can get much further than if we go it alone.
Sharena	Yeah! We'll get them next time! If we all work together, we'll claim a victory in no time!
Kjelle	Right! We may not win right away, but we'll get where we're headed if we just take it step-by-step.
