C support

Alear: Impressive work out there today, Yunaka.
Yunaka: Whoa, what? I got praise from the Divine One?! Zappy! I’m thrilled! Beyond thrilled!
Alear: I’m serious. Skills like yours are in high demand. You must have been a mercenary or something.
Yunaka: Right, um…mercenary! Yeah! You could tell? I mean… Obviously I’ve merc’d a time or two. No big deal.
Alear: I thought so. With strength like yours, you must be pretty well-known too.
Yunaka: Uh, sure?! I mean, yup! People, ah… People know me.
Alear: I’ll bet some of our allies are well acquainted with your reputation already. I’ll have to ask around. There must be stories.
Yunaka: Aah! No! I mean… Could I ask you to maybe… not do that?
Alear: What? Why?
Yunaka: Because I lied. Again. I’ve never been a mercenary. You said it, and it sounded nice, so I went with it… I’m sorry.
Alear: I’m confused.
Yunaka: You asked me about my past. I panicked. And just like always, I hid behind a lie. I’m truly sorry, Divine One. I should not have deceived you. You were only trying to praise me, and I just had to go and ruin it. I’ll take my leave.
Alear: Yunaka…

B support

Yunaka: What can this humble liar do for you, Divine One?
Alear: I’d like to have a talk, that’s all.
Yunaka: I understand. And I’m prepared to accept whatever punishment you have in mind.
Alear: Punishment? No. I wanted you to know how grateful I’ve been to have you by my side.
Yunaka: Wait, what?
Alear: That’s how I feel. You fight hard every day to protect our allies. There’s absolutely no reason to punish you. In hindsight, I think the only reason you lied is that we don’t know each other very well yet. So, let’s change that. Why don’t you start by telling me something about yourself, Yunaka?
Yunaka: Heh… Way to put me on the spot.
Alear: If you don’t want to, then I won’t pry. Simple as that.
Yunaka: OK… Before I joined up with you, I was sort of just… wandering. Looking for my place in the world. I’d left my old self behind me. Wanted to think I had, at least.
Alear: You don’t sound very fond of your old self.
Yunaka: Oh, I like her well enough. Others, though, not so much. That’s why she had to go. But I like who I am now, and honestly, I’ve been having so much fun since we met!
Alear: Haha, I’m glad to hear that. Good talk, Yunaka. I think we should do it again sometime. What do you say?
Yunaka: You got yourself a deal.

A support

Alear: What would you like to talk about today, Yunaka?
Yunaka: This isn’t easy for me, but I want you to know why I’ve had a hard time telling the truth. So I’m just going to lay it all out there, OK? The truth is, I… The truth is, I… I used to be…
Alear: It’s all right. You don’t have to tell me.
Yunaka: But I…
Alear: I can see how hard this is for you. It’s obvious just looking at your face. I told you before that I won’t pry. It really is as simple as that.
Yunaka: You’re really OK with me keeping a secret from you like this?
Alear: Of course. I have secrets too, you know. There’s no need to make yourself uncomfortable. I only want to hear what you are ready to tell me.
Yunaka: Thank you. Sincerely. What I’m ready to say is that I’m truly grateful to have a friend like you in my life. I feel like I’ve finally found that place in the world I was looking for, you know? That’s entirely thanks to you, and I won’t forget it. I’m glad to fight for you and all our friends.
Alear: I really appreciate that, Yunaka.
Yunaka: I’ll tell you all I can about my past, but I think the present is what matters. Us, here and now. We’re just getting to know each other. There’s so much more to say! It’s like an adventure.
Alear: An adventure. I like that. I look forward to continuing this journey with you, Yunaka.

Ring support

Yunaka: OK, Divine One. It’s time for me to come clean. I know you said you wouldn’t pry, and you only want to hear what I’m ready to say. But I’m as ready as I’m ever gonna get, and you have a right to know.
Alear: If you’re sure this is what you want, I’m here to listen.
Yunaka: OK… Here goes. My name used to be Larimar. I changed it to get away from my old life…as an assassin.
Alear: Go on.
Yunaka: I was never too attached to Larimar…or to her parents, who left her when she was young. She is my past, though. In that sense, she’ll always be a part of me. Which means, even though I’ve moved on, you can’t know the real me without her.
Alear: It was brave of you to tell me all that. I do want to know the real you. The value of this conversation is not lost on me.
Yunaka: I appreciate that. Thank you, Divine One.
Alear: Of course. Since you trusted me with your secret, Yunaka, I guess I’d better tell you mine.
Yunaka: I didn’t even know you had one.
Alear: When you told me how glad you were to fight alongside me, I wanted to jump for joy.
Yunaka: Why?
Alear: Because somewhere along the way, I stopped being able to imagine my life without you in it. There’s no one more important to me than you. I want you by my side, always. So I guess that’s my secret.
Yunaka: Divine One…
Alear: If you’ll accept it, I’d like you to have the Pact Ring.
Yunaka: But that ring is precious to you…
Alear: You’re precious to me, which is why I want you to have it. Whether we’re talking about your past self, your current self, whatever─I cherish all of you.
Yunaka: You’re amazing! I want to know everything about you. I want to accept all of you like you’ve accepted me. No more lies, no more secrets. I want to be with you the rest of my life. That’s how I truly feel.
Alear: I feel the same way. Let’s be true to each other, from now on, as partners.
Yunaka: Happily, Alear. A new chapter starts today. I cannot wait to see what our future holds.

Alfred

Yunaka	Support information:			Alfred
	C: 5 support points	B: 10 support points	A: 25 support points		Pact Ring: Obtain from The Connector, then select

C support

Yunaka: Ooo, look what I found! It’s an Alfred! Fancy meeting one of those in a place like this!
Alfred: Hey, Yunaka! You, uh, settling in OK?
Yunaka: Abso-totely! Everyone’s been a tasty treat. If anything, the welcome’s been almost a little too warm, y’know? I’m an unknown quantity. I could be anybody! What if I was a somebody? Who would know? It’s weirdly convenient no one’s been checking on me to try to find out.
Alfred: Oh. Should I be snooping more?
Yunaka: Seems like a logical course of action, that’s all I’m saying.
Alfred: Well, I do wanna get to know you better. So yeah. We should talk more, when we get the time.
Yunaka: Talk? Is that your idea of gathering intel? Are you really gonna go that easy on me? Think about it, chum! I could be an enemy spy!
Alfred: Probably not, though. I trust you.
Yunaka: Forsooth, silly lad! Whence comes this unearned confidence?! Have you never once been betrayed? Swindled? Double-crossed? Bamboozled?!
Alfred: Haha, I get that question a lot!
Yunaka: Gets that question a lot, he says! Not a bit of self-awareness on this guy! I don’t get you, Alfred. But maybe I shouldn’t look this gift knife in the serrated bevel. If you trust me, I appreciate it. Thanks.
Alfred: Anytime, Yunaka!

B support

Alfred: So, where are you from?
Yunaka: Ooo, look at you! Shootin’ off questions like barbed arrows outta camouflage! Set an ambush like that and you’re liable to drag a straight answer out of me.
Alfred: Great! So let’s have it.
Yunaka: Uh… Dang… Somewhere in, uh…Brodia.
Alfred: Oh, I see. Thanks for opening up.
Yunaka: Listen, could I ask you to keep a lid and, like, eight padlocks on this particular jar? Things could get unpleasant for me if this gets out and folks start connecting dots.
Alfred: Gotcha. My lips are sealed.
Yunaka: Thanks, Alfred. Look, I know you want us to talk more, but it’s not quite that simple. It could get really bad for both of us if you ask me the wrong kinds of questions.
Alfred: Oh, uh…
Yunaka: I’ve got a lot to hide. And I don’t want to lie to you, but if you put me in that position then I absolutely will. Because it’s far preferable to the trouble that could find you if you learn too much about me. I’m sorry that’s how it has to be, but…
Alfred: No, no. I get it. I won’t push you. I’m not out to make you uncomfortable.
Yunaka: I appreciate that, Alfred. Truly.
Alfred: But I said last time I wanted to talk more with you, and that’s what I’m gonna do. It doesn’t have to be personal stuff. We can talk about anything. Like our favorite flowers!
Yunaka: Yes! Love it! Henceforth, your brain’s gonna be stuffed with obscure weapon factoids!

A support

Yunaka: Golly, that’s weird to think about…
Alfred: What is?
Yunaka: Where I’d be if I hadn’t heard Micaiah’s voice in that ring. I wouldn’t be here at all, would I? It’s kind of unnerving to think this great change in my life hinged completely on a coincidence.
Alfred: Nah. It’s no coincidence that you’re one of us now. It’s just you being you.
Yunaka: What do you mean?
Alfred: You’re here because you wanted Micaiah’s wish to come true. Thanks to your big heart, we’re allies now. I’m glad to have you on the team!
Yunaka: Aww… Shuckers, Alfred! You’re the one with the big heart, though. Honestly. Compared to you…I’m a coward. I’ve hidden who I really am, all the things I’ve done, just for the chance to belong here. If you knew the whole truth about me, I’d have so much more to worry about. I think you’d do more than merely despise me. I think you’d actually come after me.
Alfred: Hmm…no. No, I wouldn’t.
Yunaka: What do you mean you wouldn’t?! You can’t just say you wouldn’t! I’ve been filling your head with weapon facts! You barely know a thing about me! You can’t accept me for who I am without even knowing who that is! It’s not right… It’s unfair.
Alfred: Let it be unfair, then. I’m fine with that. I’m fine not knowing your past too. I trust you, Yunaka. I always will.
Yunaka: Come on, Alfred…
Alfred: I don’t have to explain why I trust you. Just like you don’t have to prove that I should trust you.
Yunaka: You are…so weird. I mean, I know I’m bizarre, but you’re a whole new breed of bird.
Alfred: Hahaha, you got me there! From one weird bird to another, I hope we stay friends for a long time.
Yunaka: Me too.

Etie

Yunaka	Support information:			Etie
	C: 5 support points	B: 10 support points	A: 25 support points		Pact Ring: Obtain from The Connector, then select

C support

Etie: Hey, Yunaka. Mind doing me a favor?
Yunaka: Whatcha need, pumpkin-seed?
Etie: Stay real still. I need to give you a once-over.
Yunaka: Wait, uh, what? Why? What are you looking for? And what are you gonna do if you find it?
Etie: So many questions. Here, this’ll only take a second.
Yunaka: Ugh… Hey, I didn’t consent to a shakedown. You’re searching me like you think I stole something.
Etie: Good guess. How did you figure it out?
Yunaka: Seriously?! That was a joke! I haven’t stolen anything! Not even one thing!
Etie: I happen to know that you did.
Yunaka: Yeah?! You think your touchy-feely hands are any kind of evidence?! Get outta here!
Etie: Calm down. Nobody’s in trouble.
Yunaka: Oh, nobody’s in trouble?! Does that mean I’m free to go?! Great! Then I’m out!
Etie: Hey, wait! Yunaka!

B support

Etie: Sorry about before, Yunaka. I think maybe you misunderstood me.
Yunaka: I misunderstood you, did I?
Etie: I mean, you did steal something. That part is true. But what you stole, well…
Yunaka: What did I steal?
Etie: You captured my interest.
Yunaka: Huh?
Etie: You have my ideal physique. I couldn’t look away from how perfect you are. That’s why I wanted to do a close inspection.
Yunaka: Aw, what a preventable misunderstanding…
Etie: You’re right. I was rude. I’m really sorry.
Yunaka: Setting aside how bonkers this is for a second, what makes you think I’m any kind of ideal? Your physique is way more impressive than mine.
Etie: That’s nice of you to say, but between the two of us, you might actually be stronger. Sure, I’m ripped, but that’s just because I never stop working out. You, on the other hand, have the kind of muscle that can only come…naturally. Your metabolism must have been set like that early. Probably when you were little. You only get that kind of muscle by constantly being exposed to extreme circumstances. I can’t prove any of that, of course, but my gut says I’m on the right track.
Yunaka: Um…
Etie: What exactly have you lived through?
Yunaka: Geez…
Etie: Yeah, that’s the kind of rude thing I’m going to try not to pull anymore.
Yunaka: Oh! Are you…sure?
Etie: Of course. Don’t worry about it. I admire you, that’s all. I wanted you to know it. And if it’s OK with you, I’d like to be friends.
Yunaka: Y’know, that’s actually super sweet. Yeah, why not? Let’s be chums, chum!

A support

Yunaka: Oooh, what a peaceful field! I feel like I could flop over and nap for a thousand years.
Etie: This is my secret spot. I come here alone sometimes to goof off.
Yunaka: Not sure I’d take you for the flower-loving type.
Etie: I grew up in a pretty flower-heavy town, so it cheers me up being surrounded by them.
Yunaka: … That’s really beautiful.
Etie: What is?
Yunaka: Growing up surrounded by flowers. Memories to cheer you up. I’m a little jealous, honestly. My life as a kid wasn’t anything like that.
Etie: No?
Yunaka: No, but I wish it had been. A life like yours… It would’ve been a dream.
Etie: Poor Yunaka…
Yunaka: Kidding! You should’ve seen your face.
Etie: I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of life you must have lived. Your muscles tell a pretty harrowing story. So I’ve got a lot of respect for the way you came out the other side.
Yunaka: Ah, gee whiz…
Etie: See these flowers? They’re from my hometown.
Yunaka: They’re gorgeous.
Etie: This one is associated with admiration. Sounds perfect for us, huh?
Yunaka: Hehe, it does. Yeah!
Etie: Why don’t we make flower crowns with them as a gift for each other? That’s what true friends do where I’m from. They make flower crowns and pray for long, happy lives together.
Yunaka: Love it! Let’s make such big crowns, we get mistaken for queens of the world!

Louis

Yunaka	Support information:			Louis

C support

Louis: Ah, Yunaka. You’re just in time.
Yunaka: I am? That never happens. Wait, what am I in time for?
Louis: Would you care to join me for tea? I greatly prefer to have company with my tea than to drink alone.
Yunaka: Oh, that sounds like fun! Sure, I’d love to.
Louis: Splendid. Here you are, then. Freshly brewed.
Yunaka: Don’t mind if I do. Ahh… Wondiferous! This might be the best tea I’ve ever had. You’re great at this.
Louis: Oh, you’re too kind. I have ample access to high-quality leaves, thanks to the sterling tea field near my home. I started brewing tea for my family at a young age. I’ve had plenty of time to master the art.
Yunaka: That’s amazing! Your family’s got it made, getting to drink tea this good all the time.
Louis: Haha, possibly, possibly. And your own family? Are they in good health?
Yunaka: Oh, uh…my family? That’s, ah… Well, y’see…they’re mostly… How should I put it… They’re just… Yeah…
Louis: Ah. I withdraw the question. I’m curious, Yunaka. Have you ever tried sugared grapes in your tea?
Yunaka: Grapes? In tea? Sounds weird. Is it good?
Louis: I shall prepare some for you. I hope you enjoy it. It’s my hometown’s specialty.
Yunaka: How exciting! Thank you, Louis!
Louis: Hah, think nothing of it. I prefer to take my tea with smiles whenever I can.

B support

Yunaka: Louis! Hey! Hi!
Louis: Hello there, Yunaka. Have you had a windfall of some sort? Your smile is especially radiant.
Yunaka: Ugh, gross. Cut the sweet talk before I start puking rainbows. Listen, I got you something. Just a little thank-you. Look, look, look!
Louis: Oh my. One look is enough to tell me that these tea leaves are very fine indeed.
Yunaka: I expected nothing less from the master. You’ve used so many leaves on me, I’m worried you’ll be a tealess husk if I don’t give back. So, I know it’s not much, but I hope you’ll accept the donation. It’s for a good cause.
Louis: I am all too happy to accept your gracious gift. I believe I’ll brew them right away. You’re welcome to join me, of course.
Yunaka: Are you sure? I don’t want you thinking I got you tea just so you’d brew it for me.
Louis: Tea is better with two. I enjoy our bracing conversations almost as much as the tea.
Yunaka: Right, conversations… I do enjoy chatting with you. So much so, I kinda worry I might…slip up.
Louis: Meaning?
Yunaka: Huh? Umm… Ah, I just remembered I have a…thing! A thing I gotta do or else, um… Yeah, so next time.
Louis: Ah. That is unfortunate. I confess I was looking forward to spending the whole time talking about myself.
Yunaka: You were, uh…planning to spend the whole time talking my ear off about yourself, huh?
Louis: Yes. I’m just in that sort of mood today.
Yunaka: Oh! Well if that’s the case, I can set my thing aside. As a favor to you, I mean. I’m a great listener, so you can feel free to hold nothing back! Tell me absolutely everything!
Louis: Haha, splendid. I shall put on a pot of tea for us at once.

A support

Yunaka: No way! You’re yanking my daggers! That can’t be a true story!
Louis: It can be, and it is. During my knighthood examination before the Firenese royal family, I treated everyone to tea. I showed promise as a tea connoisseur, which factored directly into my gaining the position.
Yunaka: I know you’re great at it, but how is brewing tea even relevant to the test?
Louis: In their search for a retainer, it seems they prized domestic skills and martial prowess.
Yunaka: Lucky for you, you’re the best. You had the competition tripping over their saucers, surely!
Louis: Hah! Why, thank you.
Yunaka: Honestly, Louis, I could listen to your stories all day long. They’re that good. But…I feel a little bad you’re always going out of your way on my account.
Louis: How do you mean?
Yunaka: You go out of your way to do all the talking, so all I ever have to do is listen. I’m sure you’ve realized by now, but…I prefer it that way. I don’t like talking about myself.
Louis: It had not escaped my notice.
Yunaka: If I had to do it, I’d be forced to get evasive and lie to you. I don’t like lying to my friends. That’s why it’s better if I don’t say much about my past. Or about myself at all.
Louis: Well, I see nothing wrong with that. Even putting our pasts aside, I believe we two can understand each other fairly well.
Yunaka: You think?
Louis: So long as we have tea and a friend to share it with, we can discuss whatever we please. Besides, I’m rather loquacious myself, so it’s nice to find someone willing to listen. Listening can be a bit draining, so I thank you for humoring me in that regard.
Yunaka: Aww, Louis…
Louis: If you feel you must contribute, we can discuss our countries, our friends, the future─anything.
Yunaka: Are you sure you won’t mind being friends with someone who never talks about her past? Ever?
Louis: Of course I won’t. I am friends with you as you are. Whoever you may have once been is no issue. Now then, if we are to keep this tea party going, I must brew us another pot.
Yunaka: Thank you, Louis.

Citrinne

Yunaka	Support information:			Citrinne
	C: 5 support points	B: 10 support points	A: 25 support points		Pact Ring: Obtain from The Connector, then select

C support

Citrinne: Yunaka. Tell me what you have planned for the upcoming Brodian assembly.
Yunaka: Sorry, could you try again? Only one of my ears was ready that time.
Citrinne: I know you’ve been asking around for details on the upcoming gathering of Brodian officials.
Yunaka: Uh…what?
Citrinne: Brodia is my treasure, as are its people. If you have any criminal intentions, I will stop you.
Yunaka: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. Back it up. I-I think this might be a misunderstanding.
Citrinne: Oh? What exactly am I “misunderstanding”? You are lying about your identity, are you not?
Yunaka: That’s, uh… Well, I…
Citrinne: Don’t bother denying it. You’ve fooled many, but I know your true profession. You’re an assassin.
Yunaka: …
Citrinne: I assume you didn’t consider someone like me to be a threat. As a noble it’s my duty to keep my people safe, and I can tell that you’re up to something. I’ve already gathered all the evidence I need. If you don’t confess, I’ll tell everyone about you.
Yunaka: … Yeah. It’s true. I was a Brodian assassin. Honestly, though, I’ve put that life behind me. That’s not who I am anymore.
Citrinne: Try harder.
Yunaka: I’m telling you the truth. Look, hear me out at least. Please─I’ll tell you everything.
Citrinne: … Fine. I’ll hear what you have to say…but later. Know this, Yunaka…to protect Brodia, I can and will act with a heart of cold steel. No mercy.
Yunaka: Yeah. I’ll remember.

B support

Citrinne: All right, Yunaka. I’ll listen to what you have to say, but if a single lie slips through your lips…
Yunaka: I’ll start from the beginning. And I won’t lie. The girl in this story isn’t named Yunaka. She’s called Larimar. She’s born to a poor family living in a town on the Brodian bluffs. Her parents abandon her. She isn’t even old enough to understand why. But then a man takes her in…an assassin.
Citrinne: Oh!
Yunaka: He tells her he wants a little helper. So he trains the girl to kill.
Citrinne: To what end?
Yunaka: Easy money.
Citrinne: So this man foisted his profession onto you?
Yunaka: Correct.
Citrinne: And that’s how you became an assassin… There is tragedy to your tale, but you’ve earned no sympathy.
Yunaka: I’m not asking for sympathy. And I’m not done.
Citrinne: Fine. Continue your story.
Yunaka: Wait─someone’s coming.
Citrinne: Is that a problem?
Yunaka: We’ll have to finish this another time.
Citrinne: Very well.

A support

Citrinne: All right, Yunaka. We’re alone. Finish your story.
Yunaka: All right. The girl does as she’s told─as she’s trained to do. Killing is just a job to her. Not personal. Until one day, when the assassin who raised her falls ill. His disease is incurable. He has little time left. So he tells the girl the real reason he took her in was to set her up to succeed him. And then, offering all the money they’d earned together as payment, he gives her one last job.
Citrinne: No…
Yunaka: She feels mostly scorn for him. But she also knows that, without him, she wouldn’t be alive. So she honors his last wish. She puts him down.
Citrinne: …
Yunaka: After that, Larimar gives up murder for hire. Tries to move on with her life. She changes her name to Yunaka, and that’s it. Here she is. Being someone new.
Citrinne: I see…
Yunaka: Now, about the meeting with the Brodian brass.
Citrinne: Right. I’m still suspicious of your intentions.
Yunaka: I was laying the groundwork for a project.
Citrinne: What kind of project?
Yunaka: Truth is, I’ve been wanting to set up a fund to help underprivileged kids. That meeting was going to be the start. I was planning to propose the idea there.
Citrinne: Oh! So that’s why you’ve been asking so many people about the Brodian assembly.
Yunaka: Exactly. My goal is to do all I can to make sure no kid has to go through what I went through.
Citrinne: … I’ve been a vicious fool.
Yunaka: What? No way. You were right to be suspicious. That didn’t bug me.
Citrinne: Yunaka, please allow me to help you establish that fund. Consider it the start of my apology.
Yunaka: Wait, really?
Citrinne: As this war rages on, the number of children who have lost parents grows and grows. Brodia’s heart is breaking. Many of our nobles have been searching for ways to help. Please, let me share my connections. I acted in bad faith…and I must atone for that mistake.
Yunaka: No, no! You’ve got nothing to atone for. Seriously, I’m nothing but grateful.
Citrinne: I’m relieved to hear that… You’re trying to do a wonderful thing here. I will ensure that you find success. You and I have a long working relationship ahead of us. I look forward to it!
Yunaka: Yeah, we do! And I promise you, I’ll never forget this kindness.

Yunaka: Ugh, I’m not interested in playing your goofy game, Zelkov. Just tell me what you’re after.
Zelkov: Why, Yunaka, what game do you think I am playing?
Yunaka: The stalking game, by the look of it. Don’t act like you don’t know the rulebook backwards!
Zelkov: So you’ve noticed, have you? How curious. You have the perceptive powers of a hunter. Do you perchance hunt for sport…or for money?
Yunaka: …
Zelkov: At last, the truth is written on your face. I’d suspected you made your trade in violence. That is why I’ve stalked you, as you put it. Suspicious persons ought to be observed.
Yunaka: … OK, I’ll admit it. You’ve got some chops. Now, what say we rattle your brains around a bit and see what shakes out?
Zelkov: Oh my. Be gentle.
Yunaka: You’ve got the same killer instinct I do. It practically oozes from your pores. Like slime! So, tell me. Have we had similar careers?
Zelkov: That does appear to be the case.
Yunaka: Great. Well, let’s not speak of it again, OK? My work is in the past. I’m happily retired.
Zelkov: I, too, have washed my hands of that life.
Yunaka: So we have that in common too, huh? Well, let’s not make a thing of it. Look, here’s me not making a thing. See ya.

B support

Zelkov: About what we discussed previously, Yunaka…
Yunaka: That’s so weird! I told you not to make a thing of it, and yet here you are. Making things.
Zelkov: That message was well received. I only wished to discuss one more detail. You said that a killer instinct oozes from my pores. I believe you used the word “slime.” What did you mean by that?
Yunaka: …
Zelkov: Please. It is crucial to my well-being that I am able to curate the image I present to others.
Yunaka: Fine. Look. You’re a hunter. Everything you do and say is about the kill.
Zelkov: Could you indulge me with an example?
Yunaka: OK, sure. Take your eyes, for example. They’re ice cold. Calculating. Normal people don’t go around evaluating what folks’ lives are worth. That’s an assassin thing. You’re always probing for weaknesses too. Considering vectors of attack, right?
Zelkov: That is not what I…
Yunaka: Seriously, bud? You’re doing it right now! Look at yourself. Tell me you’re not poised to counter a knife thrust from my dominant hand. You’re constantly positioning to maximize your tactical advantage. Don’t think I don’t see it.
Zelkov: Perceptive…
Yunaka: Regular people don’t think about violence so much in everyday life. That’s what I meant.
Zelkov: To think that I should be so transparent to you…
Yunaka: Sharp eyes were part of the old job, as I’m sure you know.
Zelkov: I appreciate your insightful analysis. I will reflect on what you’ve said.
Yunaka: Yeah, don’t mention it.

A support

Yunaka: Heya, Zelkov. Would you mind if we talked a teensy bit more about our trade?
Zelkov: Why the sudden change of heart? You were quite clear that you didn’t wish to discuss it.
Yunaka: Yeah, yeah. I know what I said. I was there the whole time. I was worried talking about it too much would be…too much. But it hasn’t been. The opposite, actually. Talking about it’s helped me get distance. Perspective, y’know?
Zelkov: Care to elaborate?
Yunaka: Look, people like us don’t often get the chance to speak candidly. It could be a good thing.
Zelkov: Perhaps you’re right. But even so, what is left for us to converse about, exactly? The story of how I came to such a profession is not one I am keen to tell. I’m afraid it’s a rather tragic tale. Ill-suited for any sort of pleasant conversation.
Yunaka: Yeah. Honestly, that whole chapter of my life was pretty dang awful.
Zelkov: It was the same for me. Not even the most difficult challenges we face today compare. But I would venture to suppose that you did not choose to embark upon a life of killing.
Yunaka: What makes you say that?
Zelkov: I get the sense, merely by observing, that you genuinely have no regrets. From this observation I inferred you may not have been responsible for your circumstances.
Yunaka: Good inference…
Zelkov: Moreover, your present self was formed as a result of growing apart from your past. In a way, then…if you are the blossom, your past is the fertilizer which nourished you.
Yunaka: That’s…really insightful, actually. Thanks. Words have weight, Zelkov, and every one of yours is big and heavy. But it’s funny. Hearing them somehow makes me feel lighter. Maybe it’s our common bond.
Zelkov: You flatter me.
Yunaka: I’ve been thinking about what I’ll do when all this is over. When the world’s finally peaceful. What I want most is to go someplace where I can kick back. Put my feet up. Luxuriate!
Zelkov: I will say that does sound lovely.
Yunaka: If and when that happens, I hope you’ll drop in on me once in a while.
Zelkov: I would gladly make an appearance. There will be conversations only you and I can have.
Yunaka: Ooo, yes! Love it! We’ll do each other’s hair, trade weapon factoids. Whatever we want!
Zelkov: Indeed… Let us work toward that eventuality as our common goal from now on.
Yunaka: It’s a promise, then. If we’ve got the same dark past, we may as well share a bright future.

Fogado: Hey, Yunaka! I’m headed to a party right now. You wanna come along?
Yunaka: Party? Why?
Fogado: Ah, not feeling it, huh? You’re always in such high spirits, I thought you’d be game. But hey, no worries. I’ll see you when I have some other business. Take care.
Yunaka: … He came at me so fast I forgot to put my act on! I better fix this fast. He’ll expose the real me if I don’t. Heeey! Fogaaado!
Fogado: What’s up?
Yunaka: Zappy! I was totally yanking your bowstring. I love raucous carousing in enclosed spaces!
Fogado: You sure you’re not forcing yourself?
Yunaka: Don’t be ridiculous! Parties are fun! I love fun! Take me to the parties. Every single one. All of them!
Fogado: Ahh, so I had you pegged right. Good. Knew we’d get along. In that case, come on! Let’s head to the party! Play hard or don’t play at all, am I right?
Yunaka: Dang right! Hehe…heh…

B support

Fogado: Hey, I’m sorry for dragging you to that party. I didn’t realize it wasn’t your kind of thing.
Yunaka: No, that’s on me. I’m sorry for running off like that in the middle of all the fun. The truth is, I… I’m not comfortable in crowds. Surrounded on all sides like that, you never know who might be out for blood.
Fogado: Wait. Did I hear that right?
Yunaka: Um…probably not? Forget it. Not important. I’m just anxious around people, is the thing.
Fogado: Seems like there’s some baggage there… Anyway… I promise not to drag you along like that again. I’m sorry you had a bad time.
Yunaka: No, no. Don’t worry about it. Thanks, though.
Fogado: Heh. Tell me something. What do you think of me?
Yunaka: Of you? Well, let’s see… I think you’re someone who wants to make every day as fun as it can be. I envy that about you, to be honest.
Fogado: If you want some of these good vibes… try showing people a little trust.
Yunaka: Trust?
Fogado: Some folks are real pieces of work, no doubt. But if you always keep your walls up, you might miss out on making new friends.
Yunaka: Are you saying that’s the trick to enjoying life the way you do?
Fogado: That’s exactly what I’m saying.
Yunaka: Thanks for the pep talk, Fogado. I’m going to take it to heart. I’m going to try to start trusting people more.

Yunaka: Fogado! Hi! Hey!
Fogado: Hey, Yunaka! You’ve got a real spring in your step today.
Yunaka: I do! And it’s all thanks to your advice. I’ve been going out of my way to show folks some trust. It’s amazing how quickly they’ve warmed up. I’ve been having so much fun! Great trick!
Fogado: Huh, so that’s what’s going on. You make it sound like people are acting different, but actually, they’re the same as ever.
Yunaka: What? No way. Wait, really?
Fogado: Yeah. Most folks are basically good. You just didn’t give them a chance before.
Yunaka: So you’re saying it was…me who changed.
Fogado: Yup. Honestly, it’s a remarkable turnaround.
Yunaka: Do you know what this means, Fogado?! I’ve unlocked the secret to having a nice time! Every day’s gonna be an adventure now.
Fogado: Well then, how about it? Does the new and improved Yunaka want to go to a party?
Yunaka: Ah, well…about that. I’m still pretty uncomfortable with crowds. I can choose to trust people, but it’s a lot harder to control an instinctive reaction. I still feel like a party could be fun, though! So, how about this. We’ll say getting me to go to parties is…something to work on. I want to get past my fear of people. I want to enjoy life the way you do.
Fogado: At this rate, I’m sure you’ll be out-partying me in no time at all. But we’ll take it step by step. How about today, you and I go out for a meal? We’ll start small. A nice, quiet place with not too many people.
Yunaka: Oh, that’s perfect! I like the way you think! Someday we’ll be at some fancy ball or other and we’ll look back on this and laugh! Ohoho!
Fogado: Whoa, whoa! Who let the party animal out of her cage?
Yunaka: Zappy! You know it’s all your fault!

Panette: Good morning, Yunaka. You seem to be in good spirits. As usual.
Yunaka: Always! It’s one of my redeeming qualities.
Panette: Mm-hmm. In point of fact, I have been meaning to ask you about that. Why do you insist on pretending to be cheerful all the time?
Yunaka: You think I’m acting? You think I’m so talented, I can keep it up all the time? I-I’m flattered!
Panette: Ah-ah-ah. Do not bluff a bluffer. I can tell that this is not your true manner. When I began serving the boss, I had to swap out my own dialect for a more proper one. Since then, I have had a keen ear for others’ false tongues.
Yunaka: Takes one to know one, doesn’t it… I can’t answer your question, though. If I spoiled the mystery, who would you harass with prying questions? My hands are tied.
Panette: Hm. So be it. Forgive me for probing. But this duplicity… Somehow it does not sit right with me.
Yunaka: Uh huh…

B support

Panette: Yunaka, I cannot help but wonder about your past. I understand wanting to preserve some secrecy. But please…tell me a little about it, won’t you?
Yunaka: OK… My parents abandoned me when I was small. After that, growing up was anything but easy. I don’t like thinking about it. And I like talking about it even less.
Panette: I am so sorry. I know well the pain of being neglected by one’s parents.
Yunaka: You too? Really?
Panette: Alas, yes. My father was a hopeless drunk. My mother was always out partying. Who knew that we hailed from such similar backgrounds?
Yunaka: I wouldn’t have guessed. But it’s reassuring, in a way. Maybe I feel a little less alone.
Panette: Hm?!
Yunaka: Bandits. Incoming on our position. I count…nine. No─ten.
Panette: Thought they could get the jump on us, eh? We’ll show them. Listen up, pinheads! If I was you, I’d think twice about messing with me and her! One more step and we’ll turn your intestines into outtestines! Got it?!
Yunaka: We’re not here to kill anyone. But if you’re here to be killed, well… My hands are tied.

Yunaka: Hear that? Could be more bandits.
Panette: Oh? You goons back for seconds? Ha! Ain’t often I meet bandits who whine like kitty cats!
Yunaka: Oh, no no no, hold up. That actually was a cat. Tricksy little hairball set me on edge!
Panette: Oh! Right you are. What a relief! I must say, Yunaka, I rather enjoy that vicious demeanor you adopt during combat.
Yunaka: I could say the same about you! You’re usually so polite, but you really let ’em have it!
Panette: Yes. In moments of danger, I sometimes feel my blood boil as it used to.
Yunaka: I know the feeling. I slip into my old ways sometimes too. As you saw. We do have a lot in common, don’t we? But… Let’s keep this our little secret.
Panette: Indeed. Which reminds me… I apologize for needling you about the way you speak. Really, it was quite conceited of me. Glass houses and all that.
Yunaka: I get it. Some good came out of it, though. I learned my act needs work, for one thing.
Panette: We could practice together, perhaps?
Yunaka: Zappy! Great idea!
Panette: Um, you know, I have always meant to ask… What is this “zappy” business all about?
Yunaka: Oh. Well, uh…
Panette: Yes?
Yunaka: That’s another one of my mysteries! Wouldn’t wanna spoil it until we know each other better.
Panette: Ah! In that case, you give me no choice. I shall see to it that we become the very best of friends!

Merrin: Yunaka, do you have a moment?
Yunaka: Sure.
Merrin: About that sparring match just now. I feel like your attitude needs…adjusting.
Yunaka: What do you mean?
Merrin: A sparring match isn’t a fight to the death. But you went right for my throat back there. I’d like it if you slowed things down a bit. Try being a bit more…sporting.
Yunaka: What? No, sorry, but that’s ridiculous. I’m not gonna do that.
Merrin: Excuse me?
Yunaka: Merrin, I know you think it’s super stylish to pause for a monologue in the middle of a fight. But if you’re gonna do that, you might as well point to your kidneys and ask for a shanking. With me, the worst you get is a bump on the noggin. A real enemy would eviscerate you.
Merrin: I know that! I just wanted to test out a bit of verbal repartee.
Yunaka: Test it for what? If it’s no good in an actual engagement then what good is it?
Merrin: I get it, I do. But what’s wrong with a bit of verbal jousting during sparring matches? Dropping a catchphrase during combat spices things up. A mid-battle monologue sounds cool. Just do what you need to do after I’m done talking. We’re allies, after all.
Yunaka: No. It’s a bad habit to make light of combat. I thought for sure you’d understand that, seeing as you’re a knight. Guess I was mistaken. If that’s all, I’ll be going.
Merrin: Come on, Yunaka. You’re right, of course, I just wanted to have a bit of…fun.

Merrin: Ah… Well, that should do nicely.
Yunaka: Hey. What are you up to?
Merrin: Oh, hello. Just taking care of some weapon maintenance.
Yunaka: Ah! That’s, uh… That’s quite an interesting scimitar you’ve got there!
Merrin: I bought it at a curio shop. It is pretty cool, isn’t it?
Yunaka: Understatement of the century! That weapon’s a masterpiece! A work of art! Look at the curve─so smooth, so steady! That’s traditional Solmic craftsmanship! Look at the edge! Only Solmic blades combine rich majestic history with deadly killing power!
Merrin: Huh, I guess I didn’t realize. You know, you got pretty excited there all of a sudden. If you like it that much, maybe I’ll give it to you. I’m not even using it really.
Yunaka: Are you serious?! What an incredible gift! I’ll happily take it off your hands! Give it here!
Merrin: Ah now, there’s just one thing… I’ll give it to you if you agree to let me do a bit of monologuing when we spar from now on.
Yunaka: What?! Come on, what’s that got to do with anything? No matter how badly I want the scimitar, it’s not worth letting you monologue in combat!
Merrin: Too bad. I guess I will be using this majestic killing blade after all.
Yunaka: Ngh… Fine! Forget it, then.

Yunaka: Look at that! Nice and clean.
Merrin: What are you up to?
Yunaka: Oh, nothing much. Just polishing up this here dragon figurine. Nice, right?

Yunaka: Someone’s excited all of a sudden. If you like it that much, I could be persuaded to part with it.
Merrin: Really? I want it. I really, really want it! Please, I’m begging you!
Yunaka: Just one condition. No more silly chatter during combat. Not even in practice.
Merrin: Oh. I see. So that’s your play, is it?
Yunaka: A familiar tactic, isn’t it?
Merrin: … … What do you say we put an end to this pointless and very annoying quarrel? I won’t practice my monologues ever again. Now please, just give me the dragon!
Yunaka: Great. As long as you’re done with that ridiculous behavior, consider me satisfied. Now that that’s settled… Can we revisit negotiations for that incredible scimitar?!
Merrin: Of course. It’s a trade. My weapon for your figurine.
Yunaka: Deal!
Merrin: Deal. This is all yours.
Yunaka: Eeee! Yes! OK, here’s your dragon─take good care of her!
Merrin: Ooo! Hello, my cute little dragon!
Yunaka: Aaah, the color’s gorgeous! And the smell… Freshly oiled! It’s so perfect I could cry!
Merrin: Where did you get this? Your taste is exquisite! How much was it? Details, I want details.
Yunaka: Where’d you get this?! Who’d you buy it from?! How much did it cost?! Tell me everything!
Merrin: I asked first! Just spill it, please.
Yunaka: Didn’t hear a word you said! You talk too fast! You answer me first!
Merrin: That doesn’t seem fair!
Yunaka: What? Why not?!
Merrin: Haha. So, are we…friends now?
Yunaka: Hehe, now that you mention it… We do seem to have a lot in common, don’t we? Not everyone gets so excited over stuff like this.
Merrin: Ha! So true! Yeah, you and I are going to get along great. Now, I’m happy to answer questions, but, uh, can you repeat them? You were talking so fast.
Yunaka: All right, from the top. The first thing I want to know is where exactly you bought it…

Seadall: Yunaka, I heard a rumor that you’re very good at doing impressions. Is that true?
Yunaka: Zappy! I do them from time to time, for a giggle. Want a demonstration? Here goes. “I am Emblem Corrin. I’ll fight with all I have!” Or how about… “I am Ivy, crown princess of Elusia.” You get the idea.
Seadall: Finally…I’ve found you.
Yunaka: You were looking?
Seadall: Yunaka, please, I need you to join me on stage.
Yunaka: By “stage,” I take it you mean…the kind where you get in front of people and sing and dance?
Seadall: Exactly that kind. I’ve been choreographing a stage play, and I am in need of an actor.
Yunaka: Ah! Nope! I can’t do it! What you’re describing is totally impossible.
Seadall: I’ll guide you through it. I swear, I won’t let this be a bad experience for you. Please, Yunaka. I can’t make this performance happen without you.
Yunaka: Heh, you sound so sure… If that’s really how you feel about it…I guess I can give it a try.
Seadall: Thank you.

Yunaka: … If you’re certain this is what you want… I’m willing to believe in you. So long as we’re together, from now until the end…
Seadall: … Your performance…the nuance and honesty… I was right. You are gifted. More than I knew.
Yunaka: Aaah, I’m not so sure. I really don’t have any experience with acting. This is all so new to me!
Seadall: Yunaka, your impressions are brilliant… because you’re a brilliant actor. And this show will be unforgettable because you will be an unforgettable lead.
Yunaka: I’m playing the lead?!
Seadall: Well, I thought I’d be the lead. But now I know better. That role was meant for you. We still have to practice the dance, but I have no doubt you can handle it, Yunaka. It’s not easy putting on a show when times are hard like this. Dancing, laughing…it feels wrong. But it’s because times are hard that I have to do it─to remind the audience what joy feels like. I want this performance to succeed…for everyone’s sake. Will you help me?
Yunaka: I understand how you feel. And I respect that, honestly. OK… I’ll help as best I can.
Seadall: Thank you. I can’t do it without you, Yunaka. Together, I think we can make this one of the truly great performances.

Yunaka: …
Seadall: Yunaka…what’s wrong? Where’s that boundless joy of yours gone?
Yunaka: I can’t do it. I can’t face the audience─it’s too much! I’ve gotta sit this one out! I’m sorry!
Seadall: What?! You were excited to get up on stage the last time I saw you. What happened?
Yunaka: All the nice things you said, choosing me as the lead… It was all really flattering. But I’ve never had so many people depending on me before. What if I’m a letdown? They’re here to enjoy themselves. Can they really do that with someone like me on stage?
Seadall: Yunaka, did you enjoy acting and dancing during our rehearsals? Was it fun performing?
Yunaka: Of course it was.
Seadall: Well, if you enjoyed it, then the audience will enjoy it too. If you don’t trust yourself on this, can you at least trust me? I promise you, everyone is going to have a good time.
Yunaka: …
Seadall: My eyes are closed. My hand is here. If you trust me, then take it… and never let go.
Yunaka: Your lines… Why are you…
Seadall: …
Yunaka: … If you’re certain this is what you want… I’m willing to believe in you.
Seadall: Thank you for taking my hand. You are meant to be on that stage, Yunaka.
Yunaka: Hehe, as long as I’ve got your guarantee, I can honestly say I feel a lot better.
Seadall: Soon everyone will see you for the talented performer I know you to be.
Yunaka: Thanks, Seadall. OK, let’s not keep ’em waiting. There’s a lot of folks out there counting on us to make them smile!

Yunaka: Me? Eh… I’ll pass.
Goldmary: Are you sure? You might discover that washing clothes on a sunny day is refreshing and restorative. Keeping neat and clean won’t exactly lose you any friends either.
Yunaka: Yeah, I don’t care about that.
Goldmary: Or maybe you’ve got something hidden among your unmentionables and don’t want me to see?

Yunaka: You made doing laundry look like lots of fun. I actually did wanna join you. I just…couldn’t.
Goldmary: I don’t understand. What do you mean?
Yunaka: I can explain, but it’s…kinda personal.
Goldmary: It’s all right. Don’t be shy.
Yunaka: OK, well… I normally hate to bring this up, but I had a horrible childhood. My parents were too poor to raise me, so I was abandoned. I ended up living with a…stranger. Even from a really young age, he had me doing all the housework. So…something about doing chores takes me right back to that place. It fills me with dread.
Goldmary: I had no idea.
Yunaka: These days, I always do stuff like laundry and dishes alone. That way I’m not bothering anybody if I go to pieces over it.
Goldmary: I understand.
Yunaka: But I’m not here to make excuses. I’m determined to put my past behind me. I wanna be a totally new person. So in the spirit of a fresh start… Let’s do some chores!

Yunaka: Hey, Goldmary. I’m sorry for ruining all your fun the other day. Even just the thought of housework makes me fall apart so fast.
Goldmary: Don’t worry yourself about that. As it happens, I’ve been thinking it over since then. And I may have an idea. I heard that you’re gifted at impersonation. Is that true?
Yunaka: Sure. I mean, I’m decent at it.
Goldmary: Would you like to try impersonating me?
Yunaka: What? Why?
Goldmary: Humor me. Show me what I was like washing clothes the other day.
Yunaka: OK, if you insist. I think that went a little something like… “♪Hmm-hmm…♪ It’s a wonderful day for laundry.” “Wash, rinse, dry, starch, fold… Every step with precision and grace.”
Goldmary: Wonderful. Keep that up, and follow me. We’ll do laundry as two Goldmarys.
Yunaka: Sounds weird. Let’s give it a go!
Goldmary: So, how did you feel? Any of the old dread?
Yunaka: Amazingly, no. Not even a little! I was so focused on being you that I totally forgot about my past!
Goldmary: Perfect. Exactly as planned. From now on, whenever you need to do chores, you can just pretend to be me. Once you form the habit, I think you’ll find chores far less worrisome. There’s no easy cure for a wound like yours, but take it one small step at a time. You’ll heal.
Yunaka: So that’s what you had in mind. Great idea, Goldmary! You’re a genius. I said I wanted to be a new person, and now I have someone to be─you!
Goldmary: I suppose there are worse goals to have. Consider me honored. I’m sorry if my perfection is too much for you. But it’s good to aim high, of course.
Yunaka: Ooh, that’s good. You’re good. I need to start taking notes. “I’m sorry if my perfection is too much for you.” To be said coyly in response to praise.
Goldmary: You’re a little too quick a study! You don’t have to imitate everything I say…
Yunaka: Hehe! Only kidding. But now I’ve got your flustered face in my back pocket too! Thanks for taking me under your wing. I know I can be a handful.
Goldmary: My pleasure. If you want me to be your teacher, I will happily accept you as a student.
