Base conversations

Roshea and Chris 1

Chris:
Sir Roshea, what is that...?

Roshea:
Oh, this... It's a letter I received from the kids.

Chris:
Kids? You have children, Sir Roshea?

Roshea:
No, no. They aren't my children... They're from an orphanage I visit often. The previous war... made many children into orphans from Archanea to Aurelis... That's why I'm helping in an orphanage, to try and save them. This is a letter of thanks from the kids living there.

Chris:
I see...

Roshea:
When I'm broken from fighting... reading this letter rekindles my resolve. It makes me do my best, for the kids...

Chris:
Sir Roshea... You're a kind man.

Roshea:
Never. I'm just weak, that's all...

Roshea and Chris 2

Chris:
...All the letters from the children overflow with gratitude towards you, Sir Roshea. You play with them... and even teach them how to write, don't you?

Roshea:
Oh, yes. I adore children, you see.

Chris:
And you even donate money to the orphanage... These aren't things... many people would be able to do.

Roshea:
I wanted to repay a favor to Coyote... The four of us didn't have parents, just like the kids. We're only alive now because Coyote raised us. That's why I wanted to follow in Coyote's footsteps...

Chris:
I find it most admirable. I'm very impressed by your dedication.

Roshea:
Thanks... But, I'm just... a hypocrite... All I'm doing is killing more people during this war...

Chris:
...

Roshea:
I'm weak. I'm doing all this just to try and flee from that sin... The townsfolk told me the same. That I'm just a hypocrite...

Chris:
...Sir Roshea... I don't think you're a bad hypocrite.

Roshea:
Pardon?

If Chris is male

Chris:
There might be people who call your actions hypocrisy... However, in truth, you're the person who's saving those kids' lives. If you can save somebody through hypocrisy, that doesn't automatically make you a bad person, just because you're a hypocrite.

If Chris is female

Chris:
There are probably people who call your actions hypocrisy... However, in truth, you're the person who's saving those kids' lives. Am I not right? If you can save somebody through hypocrisy, that doesn't automatically make you a bad person, just because you're a hypocrite.

Roshea:
Chris...

Chris:
In fact, I'd say the hypocrite is a better person than those who accuse him- The ones who do nothing to help. That's what I think.

Roshea:
T-thanks. This is the first time somebody has put it that way...

Roshea and Chris 3

Chris:
Sir Roshea, the end of this battle is nigh. Once it's over, there will be no more war orphans.

Roshea:
Yes, that's right. The lives lost in this war won't come back... So, at least this glimmer of hope remains...

Chris:
Sir Roshea... Fighting Emperor Hardin was probably... harshest to you, of all people. Since you are kinder than most, you're hurt more than most, too...

Roshea:
No, I'm just weak.

If Chris is male

Chris:
Indeed, kindness and weakness are oft intertwined... However, I like your kindness, Sir Roshea. Please don't... abandon it.

If Chris is female

Chris:
If kindness is weakness... Then there's no reason to become strong. However, I like your kindness, Sir Roshea. Please don't... abandon it.

Roshea:
Thank you... Chris.
