SS: I know you want to believe you can change Ems
SS: That that means you have to believe he can too
SS: But wishful thinking’s not a PLAN!
SS: Just because the alternative isn’t something you can live with doesn’t mean he’s going to be better for your sake
MS: Dale used to tell me a story-
SS: About him fighting the Archdemon?
SS: Trust me, I’ve heard it more than you
MS: well I guess you weren’t listening very hard because in the end
MS: he realized FIGHTING Urthemiel was pointless
MS: he had slain her and she had slain him for countless-
SS: Four.
MS: countless playthroughs, and yet neither had convinced the other, neither had learned anything from this vicious cycle
MS: so he went alone to the Deep Roads not with a sword but with a story
MS: and told her across the multiple lives he sacrificed at her feet about the love he had for his companions
MS: about the beauty of his home and the sorrows of his journeys
MS: until Urthemiel in tears and laughter rising left her own shadow to know this world as he did
SS: It is a lovely story Marian, if inaccurate
SS: Wherever he is, Dale’s proud to see you take it to heart
SS: But it doesn’t explain to me what you intend to do
MS: isn’t it obvious?
