Level 40 quote

My clan lives by the sword. Our lives are spent improving our skills and slaying our foes. Even our kin fall to our blades... After leaving the plains, I came to realize that this is not the only form strength takes. A sword is just a sword. One man showed me how to truly become stronger... My brother has also realized that the way of the sword is not merely killing others. And after spending some time observing you, I have seen a new kind of strength. How can I describe it? It is a strength honed by choosing not to fight. I find it fascinating. Until I can fully understand it... I will stay by your side.

Level 40 quote

I have not yet thanked you for inviting me to this festival of warriors, have I? My sole purpose in life has been to become skilled enough with the blade to surpass my brother. Even knowing that it would force me to either take my opponent's life, or lose my own...I fought to surpass him. I did not think highly of those who would risk their lives in an arena for a chance at fame and fortune. But what drives this festival is different: not glory, but passion. Not vanity, but pride. I am thankful for each and every one of my opponents. I will not forget this experience for as long as I live.

Karla: Spring Reveries

At the castle

Karla, stand proud. You face the spring festival with the queen of Dökkálfheimr at your side.
— When summoned
Lady Freyja is no warrior. And yet, her presence is as sharp as any blade. How mysterious...
— Karla, at the castle
The same dream can bring either comfort or pain, depending on the dreamer and their circumstances. So...which will this festival inspire?
— Freyja, at the castle
Ever ready to fight, Karla walks her path with dignity. A rare mortal, to be certain.
— Freyja, at the castle
I cannot forgive the mortals that took my brother from me. However...I will not hold it against the children enjoying this festival.

— On the character status screen

Duo conversation

Karla: Hm? Is that—no, never mind...
Freyja: Karla, what are you so flustered over? It is undignified.
Karla: My apologies. I thought I saw my brother in the crowd. But of course, it was someone else.
Freyja: Oh? Would it be strange for him to attend a festival such as this?
Karla: Not strange, exactly. In truth, it is that I hope we don't meet like this. Not now. We were never on the greatest of terms, and it's been years since we last saw each other.
Freyja: I see. I know of what you speak.
Karla: Lady Freyja, did something also happen between you and your brother?
Freyja: Yes. Though my experience is not one you could comprehend. Because no matter if decades or even centuries pass...the distance between us can grow no smaller.
Karla: I see... You may be right. Centuries are far too long for most people to ever truly fathom.
Freyja: Still, I can say this much: to my eyes, the lifespan of a mortal is like the fleeting dream of a single evening. If it is something that can be done before that dream fades away, you should strive to accomplish it.
Karla: Yes. I thank you for that. I will not give up. Someday, I will find Karel and tell him what I've learned from my own journey.
Freyja: Good. Now then...if you think he might be here, let us find him.
Karla: Find him? Now? Dressed like this? I...

— Duo conversation

Level 40 quote

Karla: Is this place...really a dream? If it is, I would prefer to wake up before my brother can see me like this.
Freyja: To think you mortals would feel shame even in a dream... You truly are beyond my understanding.
Karla: Huh? W-well, isn't that only natural? If I'm wrong, and this isn't a dream, others will remember this odd attire.
Freyja: Why worry yourself over others? Dreams are your soul and its deepest desires made manifest. This form you are in now is, without question, based upon your own feelings.
Karla: I find it hard to believe that I would ever desire this, no matter how deep it may be buried... Still, I suppose feeling embarrassed about it is proof that, even in a dream, I am still myself.
Freyja: Indeed. Perhaps now you can begin to realize that there is no true difference between dream and reality. After all, even the loveliest dream eventually ends.
