Support level C

Tethys

Say, Marisa, you're left-handed, right?▼

Marisa

How did you know that?▼

Tethys

Well, when you're carrying a sword, don't
you always have it in your left hand?▼

Marisa

No, I can use either hand...
But my left hand is stronger.▼

Tethys

So that's like a warning sign
left hand equals danger.▼

Marisa

Warning sign...▼

Tethys

So why is it you always sleep on your
right side?▼
You know you never roll over
in your sleep?▼
And even the slightest noise causes you
to spring up. Do you ever really sleep?▼

Marisa

I have to do that.
Otherwise I wouldn't survive.▼

Tethys

Wouldn't survive?
You must be exaggerating.▼

Marisa

I sleep with my dominant arm up.▼
That way, if I'm attacked, my good arm
is ready to go.▼

Tethys

Huh...▼
Do all sword fighters sleep that way?▼

Marisa

If your dominant arm is cut, you're
at a disadvantage in battle.▼
That means death.▼

Tethys

But doesn't your arm ever fall asleep?
Aren't there times when you can't use it?▼

Marisa

No. My father trained me when I was
a child, so that doesn't happen.▼

Tethys

When you were a child? How?
Kids always roll around in their sleep.▼

Marisa

My father placed blunt swords at my sides
when I slept to keep me from moving.▼

Tethys

Your father did that?
But that's so dangerous...▼

Marisa

No, the blades were rounded and dull. And it
worked. I don't roll over when sleeping.▼

Tethys

Wow, sword fighters have some intense
training methods, don't they?▼
I'm glad I was an average kid. I mean, I
was poor, but at least I slept freely.▼

Support level B

Marisa

Tethys.
Are you right-handed?▼

Tethys

Will wonders never cease?
You actually started a conversation.▼

Marisa

When you dance, you often
begin by putting your right foot forward.▼

Tethys

Now I'm really amazed.
I can't believe you noticed.▼
But footwork in dancing has nothing to do
with being right- or left-handed.▼
Dancing is a way of expressing feelings
through body movement.▼
All of one's experiences are incorporated
and displayed in the way one dances.▼

Marisa

Experiences?
What kind of experiences?▼

Tethys

That, my dear, is my little secret.
Mine may be a bit unique, though.▼
My life's taken some odd turns, but it's
because of them that I started dancing.▼
And when I'm dancing, I'm happy.▼

Marisa

Hmmm.
Your dances give people courage.▼
Dancing suits you.▼

Tethys

Doesn't it, though?
All the mercenaries tell me that, too.▼
Now that you understand my dancing, you're
truly a member of Gerik's team.▼

Support level A

Tethys

Tell me, Marisa, have you ever thought
about wanting to be reborn?▼

Marisa

Reborn?▼

Tethys

You know, coming back as someone else
after you die?▼
If you were going to be reborn,
what you like to be?▼
Perhaps a beautiful dancer like me?▼

Marisa

I'm fine with being me.
I can't imagine anything else.▼

Tethys

I thought that's what you'd say.▼
Actually, I thought of lots of things, but
really can't imagine any other life.▼
I guess that means that in spite of all the
hardships we've faced, we're really happy.▼

Marisa

I suppose so...▼

Tethys

Living in this age means that we face many
bad things and then worse things. Yet...▼
We're alive, so that means we also get
good things and then better things, too.▼
In tough times, I sometimes think I'd like
to be reborn in another time, but the▼
important thing is not to give up and to
live your life to the fullest.▼

Marisa

When you die, life is over.
There's no such thing as being reborn.▼

Tethys

Well, you may be right.▼

Marisa

We only get one chance.
So all I can do is keep fighting.▼

Tethys

After all's said and done, you truly
like who and what you are, right?▼
We have completely different lives, but
we have that in common.▼
That and the same man, right?▼

Marisa

What?!
What do you mean?!▼

Tethys

You can't hide it from me.▼
I guess I should ask,
do you think you're hiding it?▼

Marisa

I-I'm hiding nothing.
Nothing at all!▼

Tethys

What an interesting reaction.
Youth is so cute.▼

Marisa

Wh-why are you smiling?!
Ah...▼

Tethys

Don't be so embarrassed.▼
We're going to be around each other for a
long time. We should talk.▼

Marisa

I've got to go!▼

Tethys

There's no need to run away.
We may be rivals, but we're still friends.▼

Marisa

I'm not running away!
I'm just...leaving!▼
