Leo: Forrest? What's this? Are you sewing again?
Forrest: Ah! Father! I'm so sorry... Let me clean this up right away.
Leo: There's no need to rush. Aren't you still working on that garment?
Forrest: I assumed you didn't want to see this. I know you don't approve of me making feminine clothing...
Leo: That's not true at all. Don't you enjoy making clothes? I know I've objected in the past, but that was very wrong of me. I don't ever intend to dissuade you from following your passions.
Forrest: I...I'm so happy to hear you say that.
Leo: Your sewing skills are most impressive. Perhaps you would consider making something special for me?
Forrest: Really?! I would love to!
Leo: Excellent. Say, when did you start learning to sew?
Forrest: A long time ago... It's funny. I was actually inspired because of a compliment you once paid me. When I was little, I ran around the house in a dress. You saw me and said I looked adorable.
Leo: Did I really?
Forrest: You don't remember? It was a long time ago. I recall that dress so vividly. It was made from white satin, with tons of pink ruffles and soft lace.
Leo: Yes... Yes, I remember it now. If memory serves, it was a hand-me-down from Elise. One of her old summer dresses. Initially, she gave it to a girl taking care of you. But you took one look at it and were instantly enamored.
Forrest: I was only trying to satisfy my curiosity at first, but then you praised me. That moment meant a great deal to me. I felt elated. And that's when I took an interest in sewing my own clothing.
Leo: Hmm... I never knew.
Forrest: Granted, I knew other boys didn't wear dresses or skirts... But I didn't care. I wanted elegant gowns and cute accessories! So I kept sewing and sewing, and I progressively improved. And when I put on a dress and looked at myself in the mirror... I felt like a beautiful princess right out of a storybook. This new passion helped me forget all about my loneliness.
Leo: Forrest...
Forrest: Before I knew it, my closet was filled with gorgeous clothing. I got to a point where I just couldn't stop. I loved making dresses and wearing them. Even if people don't understand and treat me poorly because of it, I won't stop.
Leo: I'm so sorry, Forrest. No one should ever have to feel ashamed of who they are. That's the last thing I want for my beloved son...
Forrest: No, Father! Please, it's all right. Knowing you understand me is all I need.
Leo: I'm glad to hear it. One day, I will be so proud to have you carry on my title.
Forrest: It will be my honor. Everything I am now is thanks to you.

Leo: Ah, there you are, Forrest.
Forrest: Why hello, Father.
Leo: Your mother said I might find you here. Do you come to this church often?
Forrest: I like to come when people are fighting. I pray for the soldiers to return home unharmed from the battlefield.
Leo: Hmm, I see.
Forrest: Did you need me for something?
Leo: Do you recall our conversation about you carrying on my title someday? It made me think that perhaps we should discuss the future. Your future.
Forrest: What do you mean, Father?
Leo: I'm sure you've noticed the tome I carry with me, yes?
Forrest: You mean Brynhildr?
Leo: Yes, precisely. Someday, this book will be yours.
Forrest: What?! Really?
Leo: You and I both possess a unique and powerful potential for magic. One day, I believe that you will be able to handle this sacred book. If you can make it your own, I know that—
Forrest: Father, wait. May I have some time to think it over first?
Leo: Why is that necessary? There should be no room for hesitation. This is the strongest tome in existence.
Forrest: That's precisely why I'm hesitant. I wish to follow the will of the gods and heal those in need. But Brynhildr can be used very effectively to hurt innocent people. I wouldn't dream of taking on that responsibility without thinking it over.
Leo: That's an excellent point...
Forrest: All I want to do is be responsible and live up to your expectations, Father. I'm honored that you want me to be your successor one day... But I'm not sure what I want for myself. I hope you're not too disappointed. I just need a bit more time.
Leo: Very well. I will respect your wishes. We shall speak soon.
Forrest: Thank you, Father.

Leo: Good evening, Forrest. Have you given any more thought about what you'd like to do regarding Brynhildr?
Forrest: Yes, I have. But I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you yet.
Leo: I see... It's noble that you wish to keep people from harm. I certainly don't want to force the book upon you. However, I think there is another way to look at the situation. Powerful magic is dangerous, but it can also be used to protect people.
Forrest: Hm? How do you mean?
Leo: There are those who will always wish to take advantage of the weak. History has shown us this time and time again. But a strong defense can repel even the most vicious attack. It can sometimes even prevent fighting altogether. Can we agree on that much?
Forrest: Certainly. But fear of one's enemy can also lead to reckless action.
Leo: True... It's a double-edged sword. The important thing is to be thoughtful and to wield your power responsibly.
Forrest: I suppose that's true.
Leo: I have great faith in you, Forrest. In my heart, I know that you would use Brynhildr wisely. Considering your compassionate nature and loving heart... You could do far greater things with this tome than I've ever dreamed of.
Forrest: I don't know...
Leo: Abusing one's power is a great evil in this world. Possibly the greatest. Since receiving this book, I've always tried to keep that in mind. I've often wondered how best to use it. What actions are permitted. As the heir of Brynhildr, I hope you will do the same someday. Control of the earth, gravity, and life itself will be in your hands.
Forrest: Hmm... I don't know if I can handle that responsibility right now. But perhaps eventually, once I've matured a bit more... I do hope you will entrust me with Brynhildr when the time is right. Eventually, I would like to walk the same path as you... I need to reflect on what it truly means to possess incredible power. But I would love to protect people from the devastation of war.
Leo: I'm pleased, Forrest. I look forward to when that day comes.
