Weave of Fate/Byleth: Sublime Light

Byleth: Sublime Light - C

Byleth	...
Your face appears displeased. Does it perturb you to meet me this way? You have not seen me in my body before. I had foreseen a bit more awe.		Sothis
Byleth	Sorry, but I have other feelings that are getting in the way right now. Confusion, for example.
I see. Indeed, you have been flung into a foreign realm. Confusion is to be expected.		Sothis
Byleth	I traveled to new locales frequently as a mercenary. I don’t think that’s it.
A casual analogy, in my opinion, but very well. What is it that is troubling to you, then?		Sothis
Byleth	Seeing so many students from Garreg Mach summoned here, for a start. They’re still learning. I worry that all these battles will distract them from their growth, or get them hurt.
That is quite understandable. You are their teacher, after all. It is natural for you to be concerned. I have not heard reports of casualties among your students, if that is any consolation to you.		Sothis
Byleth	Good. In that case, I don’t feel guilty bringing up something else that’s been bothering me. Let’s talk about this outfit.
Yes! We are at last a matching pair! And yet you have some issue with it?		Sothis
Byleth	It’s less practical than I’d like.
That has never troubled my thoughts. Perhaps the problem is not the garb, but your practicality.		Sothis
Byleth	Great. Thanks. Anyway, here’s what I’m really wondering. Why does the Sothis of the Kingdom of Askr have a physical body?
Hm. In Fódlan, as you know, we did not meet in the physical world, but between dreams and reality.		Sothis
Byleth	And then your voice was in my head, yes. I remember.
It is possible that something similar is occurring here, albeit on a much grander scale. It would seem I have a physical body here, but it is possible I may not. I confess, I do not know.		Sothis
Byleth	You don’t know if you have a body?
What I mean to say is that this may be a dream of mine, into which I have pulled you.		Sothis
Byleth	I guess that would explain a lot, but isn’t it a problem either way that the progenitor god is so...out and about?
No one has caused a fuss. I believe it must be fine. Of course there are some who seem to sense my true nature, but I see no cause for concern. At least for now.		Sothis
Byleth	Right...

Byleth: Sublime Light - B

Byleth	...
“What I mean to say is that this may be a dream of mine, into which I have pulled you.”		Sothis
Byleth	If that’s true... If this is all the progenitor god’s dream... Does that mean all of Askr was conjured by her imagination?
*yaaawn*... Oh, hi. That’s a pretty big frown... Are you OK?		Mirabilis
Byleth	Those wings... You’re a ljósálfr.
Uh-huh! And you’re new, aren’t you? It’s, um...Professor Byleth, if I remember right. Nice to meet you. I’m Mirabilis. I’m from Ljósálfheimr, the realm of dreams.		Mirabilis
Byleth	And one of Askr’s Heroes too, I’m guessing. It’s a pleasure.
You know, I think I’ve seen an outfit just like yours somewhere before... Oh! It was that mysterious girl who’s been wandering around the castle lately... Do you know her?		Mirabilis
Byleth	You could say that. Hmm... So the progenitor god has everyone here believing she’s just some mysterious girl...
Hm? Sorry, I didn’t hear all that. But I’d love to listen, if you want to talk. You seem like you’re dealing with a lot of thoughts.		Mirabilis
Byleth	I suppose I am. A person who until recently has only existed inside my head is now out in the world, walking around.
In a physical body? Really? Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm. That’s, um...very interesting!		Mirabilis
Byleth	I get the feeling I didn’t explain it very well.
I don’t really get it, I admit, but I’m glad you confided in me anyway!		Mirabilis
Byleth	...

Byleth: Sublime Light - A

Mirabilis	So, there’s more to the world than what you see with your eyes, right?
Go on.		Byleth
Mirabilis	There’s invisible things, like feelings. Compassion, courage, curiosity... But emotions become visible when people act on them. Maybe what you’re talking about is something like that. What do you think, Professor Byleth?
I think it only exists when it becomes visible. And that means it’s still part of the world you see with your eyes.		Byleth
Mirabilis	Hmm. Well, what about a dream? If you remember seeing something while your eyes were closed...what did you see it with?
All right, fair point. Let’s say this entire world is just someone’s dream, then. Would there be any way to prove it?		Byleth
Mirabilis	Um... Maybe? Maybe not. I’m not sure it matters, though. Even if all this was a dream, I’d still be doing the same things... Taking naps, helping people sleep better...
...		Byleth
Mirabilis	And you’d still be doing everything you can for your students, wouldn’t you, Professor Byleth? Being in a dream world wouldn’t change any of that, would it?
Of course not.		Byleth
Mirabilis	Well... I don’t know a lot about all this complicated stuff, but that seems like enough to me.
Maybe you’re right...		Byleth

Byleth: Sublime Light - S

Sothis	Zzz...
...		Byleth
Sothis	Mm... You must...join Smash... Ah! There you are. You have awakened me from a peculiar dream. You have that frown again. I will hear no more of your opinions about my taste in fashion.
That’s not why I’m here. Something else has been on my mind. You once sacrificed yourself to return me to the world. When you did that, it seemed like you ceased to exist. I couldn’t hear or feel you in my mind anymore after that. Our connection was severed.		Byleth
Sothis	I see. What do you mean to suggest?
And now you are here, in physical form, just like anyone else. You’re here in Askr not as a god who exists within me, but as a hero who stands among so many others. It’s been an adjustment, but I am ready to accept that.		Byleth
Sothis	I am pleased you have awakened to reality at last.
You said something, last time we spoke, about how this might all be a dream of yours.		Byleth
Sothis	I did. It might.
If it is, that doesn’t change anything for me. The people of this world are fighting for peace. My students are here with them. And I intend to help.		Byleth
Sothis	Perhaps it is fate that you and I have come to be here. Perhaps my physical form is needed for the purpose we are meant to serve.
If that’s true, maybe you’re meant to form bonds of your own with the others we meet.		Byleth
Sothis	Now that is a fine thought! I am quite charming, as you are aware.
...		Byleth
Sothis	Hmph! You dare to roll your eyes at your god? I could call that blasphemy you know!
Maybe I’m just seeing something invisible to my eyes. The hope we’ll kindle while we’re here, say.		Byleth
Sothis	Must you always end our talks this way? Come back! I am not done speaking to you!
