Pre-Battle

Morgan
Wh-where am I? How'd I end up here?

>scene change

Robin
Is this the place?

Chrom
Yeah, it's got to be. The townsfolk spoke of ruins in these parts that carry the legacy of the divine dragon. Of course, they neglected to mention that the place is crawling with Risen... I suppose we're just gonna have to earn this treasure the old-fashioned way.

Morgan
Footsteps! ...Probably not friendly. And likely more down those stairs... Think, Morgan, think! How would Mom/Dad handle this?

Talk to Morgan

Robin (Female)

Robin
You...don't look like a treasure hunter. What brings you here?

Morgan
There you are, Mother! I was beginning to think we got separated!

Robin
...I'm sorry, what?

Morgan
Well, no harm done. At least we can head home now. ...Goodness, the air here agrees with you! You look a decade younger, at least.

Robin
Wait. Let's go back to the "Mother" thing. ...Did you travel back from the future with Lucina?

Morgan
Huh? Who's Lucina? And did you seriously just ask me if I came from the future? ...Why are you looking at me like that? Hello? It's me! Morgan! ...Your son? Love of your life and strapping young lad and all that? Wow, you're really acting strange today. Let's go home and get you to bed. Hmm, but which way is home? Is it— Ngh! M-my head!

Robin
Easy—don't try to force it! Just stay calm and listen to me. I know this sounds mad, but I believe that you came here from the future.

Morgan
Are you out of your mind? That's not even possible!

Robin
Actually, it is. Think about it. You said I looked younger, but look again. Closely. Do I look like I'm of an age where I could have a child as old as you? At this point in time, in OUR time, you still haven't been born.

Morgan
Y-you do look younger, but...

Robin
It's hard, I know. And you don't have to believe me right this minute. But you must come with me. It's dangerous alone, especially if your memory is gone. I was in the same position once, you know. If Chrom hadn't found me lying in that field, who knows what would've happened to me...

Morgan
Wait, you woke up in the middle of a field, too? Hah! Like mother, like son, huh? Oh, that's too funny!

Robin
...Glad to see you inherited my blithe outlook. Just try to stay close, will you?

Morgan
Yes, ma'am!

Robin (Male)

Robin
You...don't look like a treasure hunter. What brings you here?

Morgan
There you are, Father! I was beginning to think we got separated.

Robin
...I'm sorry, what?

Morgan
Well, no harm done. At least we can head home now. ...Goodness, the air here agrees with you! You look a decade younger, at least.

Robin
Wait. Let's go back to the "Father" thing. ...Did you travel back from the future with Lucina?

Morgan
Huh? Who's Lucina? And did you seriously just ask me if I came from the future? ...Why are you looking at me like that? Hello? It's me! Morgan! ...Your daughter? Love of your life and Daddy's little girl and all that? Wow, you're really acting strange today. Let's go home and get you to bed. Hmm, but which way is home? Is it— Ngh! M-my head!

Robin
Easy—don't try to force it! Just stay calm and listen to me. I know this sounds mad, but I believe that you came here from the future.

Morgan

Robin

Robin

Morgan
Yessir!

Chrom (Normal)

Morgan
Mmm? Who are you?

Chrom
I would ask you the same. More importantly, why are you here? This is hardly a safe place to be wandering alone.

Morgan
I... I don't know, frankly. I woke up...sprawled in a field. I can't recall anything before that.

Chrom
This sounds familiar.

Morgan
I... I think I remember my name? ...Morgan? Yes, that's it. My name is Morgan.

Chrom
I'm Chrom. And finding amnesiacs is apparently my special talent. I met a good friend, Robin, under the same circumstances.

Morgan
Robin?! Is this friend of yours perchance a tactician?

Chrom
She/He is. Do you know her/him?

Morgan
Yes, I know her/him! She's/He's my mother/father! ...Wait a second. You found my mother/father lying here unconscious?

Chrom
Well, not HERE. But yes, we found her/him lying in a field, memory-free. This was quite a while ago, mind you. So if you're her/his son/daughter, I take it you came from the future?

Morgan
...From the future? Are you kidding, sir?! People can't travel through time! If that were possible, I— Ngh! M-my head!

Chrom
Whoa, easy there. Try to stay calm. Listen, why don't you just come with us for now? You can speak to Robin later and maybe clear this up.

Morgan
Th-thank you, sir... And don't worry—I can defend myself. You just lead the way.

Chrom (Father)

Morgan
Mmm? Who are you?

Chrom
I would ask you the same. More importantly, why are you here? This is hardly a safe place to be wandering alone.

Morgan
I... I don’t know, frankly. I woke up...sprawled in a field. I can’t recall anything before that.

Chrom
This sounds familiar.

Morgan
I... I think I remember my name? ...Morgan? Yes, that’s it. My name is Morgan.

Chrom
I’m Chrom. And finding amnesiacs is apparently my special talent. I met someone very dear to me in the same way. Her name is Robin.

Morgan
Robin?! Is this friend of yours perchance a tactician?

Chrom
She is. Do you know her?

Morgan
Yes, I know her! She’s my mother!

Chrom
Mother?! Then you’re our... You’re my... Morgan, stay calm and listen to me. Robin is my wife. Which means you’re likely my son who came here from the future.

Morgan
...What?! But I... The future?! Is... Is that why I have no memory? But wait, I remember my mother. So why don’t I remember you?

Chrom
I don’t know. Do you recall a sister named Lucina?

Morgan
No, nothing like that.

Chrom
I suppose it’s a blessing you at least remember your mother. Maybe something will come back once you’ve met with her and Lucina. Until then, you’d best come with me. ...And stay close. I don’t want you hurt.

Morgan
All right, thank you. And don’t worry—I can defend myself. You just lead the way.

Post-Battle

[Note: Morgan's "Talk" dialogue with Robin occurs before the following scenes if he/she was not recruited.]

Chrom
This must be Naga's Tear... I can feel the power coursing through it.

Lissa
Sweet! This baby should keep us safe in the battles to come.

Chrom
I hope you're right about that, Sis.

>scene change

Morgan
That's...a lot to take in.

Robin
It's everything we know about the situation at this point.

Morgan
The future I came from is in ruins... You're sure about that?

Robin
One possible future is in ruins, yes. But you may hail from another path. We're fighting now to ensure that no one's future is lost. Unfortunately, if you join us, it'll mean more fighting for you, too.

Morgan
I understand... I'm sorry, but even after hearing all that, I still don't remember anything but you.

Robin
Don't apologize. We'll pull your memory back bit by bit if we have to. Besides, if you start apologizing, I'll have to as well. My past is still full of holes, but I'm getting along. And you will too.

Morgan
As long as you're with me, the rest will work itself out. Now, come on. We've got a future that needs saving!

Robin
Hah! You really do take after me.

Morgan
You know, now that you mention is... There is one other thing I remember.

Robin
What's that?

Morgan
I've always strived to become a great tactician like you. And even though this war is terrible, at least now I can learn from you firsthand.

Robin
Well, you're nothing if not optimistic... Wherever or whenever you came from, I'm glad you made it here, Morgan.

Morgan
Me too!
