Base conversations

Katarina and Cecille 1

Katarina:
Oh... Cecille.

Cecille:
Long time no see... Katarina. How dare you come waltzing back as if nothing happened.

Katarina:
...I'm sorry.

Cecille:
Prince Marth and Chris are too kind, so they might really have forgiven you. But I'm different. Even if you say you've reformed, I can't just simply trust you, not after you betrayed all of us.

Katarina:
I know... With everything I've done, yours would be anyone's natural reaction. But... there's one thing I'd like you to believe.

Cecille:
And that would be?

Katarina:
When I was in the 7th Platoon... Both my laughter and the peace I felt were real. As was my friendship with you, Cecille.

Cecille:
...I've already forgotten my friendship with you.

Katarina:
...I see... Then it seems I have no choice but to regain your trust through my actions from now. Cecille... I truly hope we'll someday be able to talk and laugh together, like we used to.

Cecille:
...I see. In that case, I'll be watching you battle, from behind. I'll know right away if you ease up. Prepare yourself.

Katarina and Cecille 2

Cecille:
Katarina! Show me your leg.

Katarina:
Cecille...?

Cecille:
...There's blood, as I thought. You were hiding the wound you suffered in battle, weren't you?

Katarina:
...I'm sorry. I thought I wouldn't be allowed in the front lines if they found out I was wounded.

Cecille:
If you leave your wound be, you'll become unable to walk. I'll stand guard today, so go get your wound treated and get some rest.

Katarina:
But I have to fight... Until you can accept me...

Cecille:
I already accept you. There's no way I'd doubt a girl who has come this far. It's painfully clear that you're working hard to atone for your sins, from the bottom of your heart.

Katarina:
Really? Thank you...

Cecille:
Yeah, so... You can go rest already. I can't stand watching you like this...

Katarina:
I'm sorry... for making you worry.

Cecille:
I don't want to hear you apologize. I want us to make up. Look, everything is now the way it was before.

Katarina:
It's not that simple... There are others who still doubt me. Until I have regained everyone's trust, I must continue to fight...

Cecille:
What? Who on earth doesn't trust you, Katarina? Don't worry. I'll beat up everybody who doesn't.

Katarina:
Beat them up... Teehee. You really haven't changed, Cecille. Once your mind is made up, you always charge in a straight line. You're so reliable...

Cecille:
See, now you're laughing. That's more like it. If you don't relax your shoulder like that, you won't be able to use your full strength. Don't worry about those who judge you. Just go back to how you used to be.

Katarina:
...Yes. Thank you very much, Cecille.

Katarina and Cecille 3

Cecille:
I saw that, Katarina!

Katarina:
Huh? What?

Cecille:
You're really easy to read, you know. After all, you... were always looking at that one person.

Katarina:
Ah...! Oh, err, ah... Please! Don't tell anyone!

Cecille:
Hmm, what should I do?

Katarina:
Please... If that person were to know... I...

Cecille:
Wait, don't cry! I joke, I joke. I don't like spreading rumors.

Katarina:
...Phew.

Cecille:
Teehee. But talking like this really takes me back. Those times we had, when training to be knights with Chris and the others... Isn't it just so nostalgic?

Katarina:
Yes... I completely agree... But, back then, I betrayed everyone...

Cecille:
W-wait, don't cry... You hear me, Katarina? Remember this reeeeally well. No matter what happened thus far, and no matter what happens from now on... We are friends.

Katarina:
Oh... Cecille... Uhh... Sob...

Cecille:
W-wait, don't start crying again! Oh please. Just what should I do with you?

Katarina:
I-I'm sorry... I'm just... so happy... sniff...
