Jakob: Hm.
Nyx: Do you need something?
Jakob: You're Nyx, correct? The woman feared by Hoshidans and Nohrians alike for her monstrous ways?
Nyx: Hah.
Jakob: I came to see what such evil looks like in person, but... You look like a harmless young woman.
Nyx: Sorry to disappoint you.
Jakob: Apparently it's true that rumor is more interesting than reality.
Nyx: Perhaps. But then...we've only just met. It might be too soon for you to see it. Maybe there is a monster lurking beneath this disarming exterior.
Jakob: That would make things more interesting, but I doubt it's true. All I see is someone who has made use of a—perhaps—undeserved reputation. I see no monster here.
Nyx: What if I told you that I've looked this same way for decades?
Jakob: You're said to be skilled with magic, so that wouldn't surprise me at all.
Nyx: You're an interesting fellow.

Nyx: Jakob.
Jakob: What? Oh, hello, Nyx. You shouldn't be wandering around by yourself, you know? The enemy could attack at any time.
Nyx: Hahaha. Even after telling you of my power, you insist on treating me like I'm helpless.
Jakob: It's difficult to see you any other way. Even though I know better.
Nyx: I will forever look like this, though, so you'd best get used to it.
Jakob: ...
Nyx: I have. Just as I've gotten used to people calling me a monster to my face.
Jakob: Tsk. Who cares what they say?
Nyx: Muahaha. Don't misunderstand me. I could not care less what they say. It's actually convenient for me if they avoid me.
Jakob: You...like being treated that way? That doesn't make any sense.
Nyx: When I was younger, I did many evil, vile things. I earned the title of monster. As punishment for my horrible actions, I was cursed with this form for all my life.
Jakob: ...
Nyx: But after punishment comes atonement. I must atone for the evil things that I did.
Jakob: Interesting. But what are these sins you are guilty of committing?
Nyx: Hahaha, perhaps some other time.
Jakob: That's fine, I suppose... What are you doing to atone for these unnamed sins?
Nyx: I refuse to get involved with people, at least no more than in passing. I believe that cutting all ties with people will help me. If I don't, I risk waking the monster inside me once more.
Jakob: So...really you're just punishing yourself on top of your magical punishment. Jeez, in some ways your young appearance is very appropriate for you.
Nyx: You may be right about that...
Jakob: You should only cast aside those who won't accept you for who you are. Avoiding everyone only punishes you further.
Nyx: ...

Jakob: Hey, Nyx.
Nyx: Jakob. What is it?
Jakob: I still find it difficult to see you as the monster you claim to be. Even if I ignore this magic spell or curse that keeps you from aging... Seeing you fighting on the battlefield, supporting your allies against our enemy... It's impossible to see the monster. So...it actually makes me angry to see people treat you badly.
Nyx: Heh.
Jakob: What's that? Are you laughing?
Nyx: Of course. I always suspected you were a nice person under that harsh exterior. Thanks for confirming it.
Jakob: Tsk. D-don't be stupid! I just can't stand to see young people get picked on.
Nyx: Even if those young people are not so young on the inside?
Jakob: Yes, even then.
Nyx: Interesting... You suffered when you were growing up, didn't you? That's why you can't stand to see people treat me badly, isn't it?
Jakob: ...
Nyx: I appreciate your kind thoughts, Jakob. But you needn't worry about me. Until the time comes when I can truly forgive myself... I must continue atoning for what I did.
Jakob: If you ever need any help, just say so.

Jakob: Nyx, what are your plans when this war has finally come to an end?
Nyx: I'll most likely return to the solitary life I led before. It was comforting to be alone.
Jakob: To atone for your sins, right?
Nyx: Yes. That's it exactly.
Jakob: How long will you continue to seek atonement?
Nyx: As long as I have to. Maybe the rest of my life. Maybe forever.
Jakob: ...No. No, I won't allow that.
Nyx: Hahaha, what? What say do you have in what I do or don't do?
Jakob: Only as much as it concerns me, but if you spend the rest of your life alone... I know that I'll never be happy.
Nyx: What do you mean?
Jakob: Jeez, I really have to spell it out for you? I love you!
Nyx: ...
Jakob: I want us to be together.
Nyx: I was right, back when I first met you. You are definitely an interesting fellow. You are serious, though, right?
Jakob: Of course I'm being serious! What kind of person would joke about this?
Nyx: In that case...I need to tell you about my sins before we go any further... In the past—when I was much younger— I killed a lot of innocent people.
Jakob: ...
Nyx: Magic comes naturally to me, and people where I lived reacted with fear. No one was able to match my power, and I, filled with all that magic energy... killed, and killed, and killed again. One of the side effects of all the power I used was my body ceasing to age. Basically, I'm cursed to look like this forever.
Jakob: I...see. This is where rumors of you being a monster must have started, then...
Nyx: Yes. What I did was horrible; I don't think my quest for atonement will ever end...
Jakob: ...
Nyx: That's why I can't let you—or anyone—into my life. I can't burden you with that. And I can't risk your life if my power-mad self returns.
Jakob: Nyx... I don't care about your past. I'm fine with you trying to set it right. And I don't want you giving up your own happiness while you do so.
Nyx: ...
Jakob: Knowing everything you've told me, I still love you. Let me be with you. Let me help you.
Nyx: Perhaps... Perhaps it would be all right for us to be together.
Jakob: Of course it would. And perhaps with us together, you can find peace with your past.
Nyx: Thank you, Jakob...
