Support level C

Amelia

Ah, General Duessel!▼

Duessel

Oh, it's you, Amelia.▼

Amelia

Yes!▼
Oh, but you're not injured at
all, are you, General Duessel?▼
We've all been struggling so hard,
and yet you don't seem tired at all.▼
You are an impressive man.▼
It's all I can do simply to stay
alive out here, it feels like.▼

Duessel

......▼

Amelia

What is it?
General Duessel?▼
Is something wrong?▼

Duessel

Oh, um, sorry.
Your...▼
From the first time I laid eyes
upon you, your face...▼
I was sure I'd seen it before...▼

Amelia

Huh? Is that so?▼
You mean before now? Or before
I even joined Grado's army?▼

Duessel

Yes, that's right, but I can't recall...
Getting to be my age has its price.▼

Amelia

Don't be silly!▼
I happen to think you're still
quite young, General Duessel!▼

Duessel

Well, now you've got my attention! What
was it you wanted this old soldier for?▼

Amelia

It's just that, even among the younger
knights, there's no match for you.▼
And, uh...▼

Duessel

Ha ha! I'm not so old that you need to
worry about propping up my ego, lass.▼

Amelia

Ah...uh...▼ I'm sorry.▼

Duessel

No, no. There's no need to apologize.
I quite enjoy talking to you, in fact.▼
I'm sure I'm not the only one in
this army who feels that way, either.▼
The fighting's fierce, Amelia.
You watch yourself!▼
When you're near me, I'll make sure
I keep a good eye out for you, too.▼
I'll be there in a flash if you need
me. Go ahead and fight without worry.▼

Amelia

Ah, y-yes, sir!
Thank you very much.▼
Fighting alongside you, General
Duessel, is a great honor.▼
Well, I'll be moving on now.▼

Duessel

Be seeing you!▼ ...▼
But...I just can't remember
where...▼

Support level B

Duessel

Amelia.▼

Amelia

General Duessel.▼

Duessel

It seems like you've grown quite
comfortable with the spear.▼

Amelia

Yes, sir! I have, sir.
Thank you.▼

Duessel

You did well to choose the spear as
your weapon. It suits your height well.▼
It also extends your reach and
enables you to strike with force.▼
More force, even, than a sword
could bring to bear in a battle.▼
All weapons have their own
unique characteristics.▼
You're familiar with the idea that some
weapons are strong against others?▼

Amelia

Isn't that what they call...
the weapon triangle?▼

Duessel

Yes, it is. And from the looks of things,
your affinity for the spear is quite good.▼
If you continue to practice, you should
continue to improve and grow stronger.▼

Amelia

Really?
Ah, that makes me happy.▼

Duessel

Mm. To begin with, the spear
is quite a deep weapon...▼
Yet the attacks comprise three
surprisingly simple movements.▼
Right step, left step, and thrust.▼

Amelia

Right step, left step, and thrust...
I'm following you.▼

Duessel

Excellent.
But listen, Amelia.▼

Amelia

Y-yes?▼

Duessel

Because they are so simple, they are
easy to learn but tough to perfect.▼
They are the strongest and most
pure of techniques.▼
When you practice them, practice
perfecting each gesture.▼
And remember, the spear is a subtle
and powerful weapon.▼

Amelia

Yes, sir!▼

Duessel

Now, it goes without saying that other
weapons have their good points, too.▼
Swords are easy-to-use, all-purpose weapons,
and axes possess devastating strength.▼
You should learn to use each weapon type.▼
If you can master them all, you'll be
an unstoppable force.▼
This is, of course, if you can overcome
your own natural affinities.▼
To begin with, you should work on
mastering one weapon type.▼
Then you can gradually change weapons
until you can use them all.▼
That's what I have done, you understand.▼
That's called being multi-proficient.▼
I'd like to tell you more about different
weapons, but that lecture must wait.▼

Amelia

...Wow...▼
General Duessel, you know so much
about weapons, don't you?▼
I didn't even realize how caught
up I'd become. All right!▼

Duessel

What is it? Where are
you rushing off to?▼

Amelia

I want you to practice the things
you've told me about.▼
The basics--right, left, thrust. Right?▼

Duessel

Mm, that's correct.
But...▼
I'm happy to see you so enthused, but
do you have any reason to rush so?▼

Amelia

Um, well...▼
There's someone--one of the Knights of
Renais--to whom I do not want to lose.▼

Duessel

Ah.▼

Amelia

It's not that we're going to fight, or
that I want to defeat him or anything...▼
It's just that we're kind of keeping track
of the other's progress, and...▼
It's just a thing we do.▼

Duessel

I see. I think that should prove to
be a good source of motivation then.▼
Get to it.▼

Amelia

Yes, sir!▼
Oh...I think I'll, um, go and
practice over there...▼
I'd be nervous in front of you, so
I'm going to practice on my own.▼
I'll be back to show you later.▼

Duessel

All right. Understood.▼

Amelia

Great! See you later!▼

Duessel

Ha ha... Such energy. I feel energized
just being around her.▼
She's just a girl now, but someday
she'll be a woman of grace and beauty.▼
...Oh, that face... where have I...
......▼
!!
Wait... could it be?▼
Yes! I remember now!
That's definitely it.▼
Amelia! Amelia!
Where could she--▼

Support level A

Duessel

Amelia! There you are.▼

Amelia

Oh, General Duessel.▼

Duessel

I've been looking for you.
And now I've found you.▼

Amelia

Um, wh-what's happened? I've
never seen you in such a rush.▼

Duessel

There's something I'd like to ask--
No, something I'd like to tell you.▼

Amelia

Er, all right.
What is it?▼

Duessel

I remembered.▼
I told you that I thought I'd seen
your face before, didn't I?▼

Amelia

Uh, yes.▼

Duessel

Well, I remembered.▼

Amelia

Oh, is that it?▼
Please don't keep me
waiting, tell me.▼

Duessel

......
Amelia. What is your mother's name?▼

Amelia

!
......▼
...My mother...▼

Duessel

......▼

Amelia

My mother's name is...
Melina...▼

Duessel

And what happened to her?▼

Amelia

When I was just a child, she was
stolen away by bandits.▼
My father had already passed away,
so I was totally...sniff...▼
I'm sorry...
......▼
I was left...
all on my own...▼
......▼

Duessel

......
I was right...▼
You can rest easy, Amelia.
Your mother is alive and well.▼

Amelia

What!?▼

Duessel

It happened a few years back.▼
I was leading a patrol near
the Grado border.▼
We unexpectedly rode up on a group of
bandits, and a battle ensued.▼
When we had taken care of the bandits,
we rescued a lone female captive.▼
We figured she had been taken from some
village, but she was in shock.▼
In fact, her distress was so great, she
had forgotten much about herself.▼
Her body was in such a weakened
state that she could barely walk.▼
We felt such pity for her that we took
her to a peaceful village we knew of.▼
There, we set up a home for her where
she could recover and live quietly.▼
Some years later, she was restored
to her former vitality.▼
Slowly, she began to recall the lost
memories of her past.▼
Only recently did she remember that
she had once had a daughter.▼
I took time off my duties and visited
the village where she had lived.▼
But the villagers told me her daughter
had left the village some time ago.▼
With no clues as to the girl's whereabouts,
I'd almost given up hope of finding her.▼
And then, in the strangest of places...▼

Amelia

I-it can't be! Th-that woman...
What is her name?▼

Duessel

Her name is Melina...
Amelia, she's your mother.▼

Amelia

What!?
Are you... Are you sure?▼

Duessel

Yes, I am. I see Melina's
face reflected in your own.▼
There's no mistake.
Isn't it wonderful, Amelia?▼

Amelia

My...mother...▼
Sniff...
Thank you... Thank you...▼

Duessel

Mm...▼

Amelia

Sniff...aaa...
Aaa...waaaaaaa!!▼

Duessel

...Amelia...▼

Amelia

Waa...
Thank...you...▼
Waaa... Thank...you...
Sniff......▼

Duessel

I, uh, I'm so happy
for you, Amelia...▼
Sniff...
Oh, no.▼
Old age must have loosened
these dry, old tear ducts...▼
Sniff...sniff...▼
