I'm... I'm alright.

[ Memories are one of those things you can't for. At least, for her, it's something she was used to- the only surprise was seeing it at all. ]

Are you?

[ is he? he takes a moment to think about it and he nods ]

... Yeah. Yes. Just... worried about you.

That's so much for one person to go through.

You don't need to worry, really.

At least I wasn't alone then.

You weren't... Were you all... a Queen's Guard?

[ he has not sure he has the vocabulary for what he witnessed ]

We were called the Iron Calvary.

And you served... "Her Majesty"? Were you defending your home...? Or?

We were defending Glamoth from the Swarm. We served Her Majesty, Empress Titania.

Do you love her?

[ the one she serves ]

I think I used to.

What changed...?

I started wondering... why do we fight? Why do we live?

Did we really exist only to die?

[ breathes in ]

... you shouldn't. If that's the conclusion you came to then... I hope you were able to leave her service.

You should have a life outside of death.

It's been a very long time since I've been part of the Iron Cavalry. These days I'm trying to find what my life should be.

[ he smiles gently ]

Have you found any leads? With your new companions.

Hmm... I really like eating sweets. That's definitely a start.

What's your favorite?

[ do you want a return mem, mira ]

There's this oat cake roll in Penacony that's delicious. I haven't had anything like it before.

[yes, please. Dealer's choice!]

Oh? Maybe we can find something similar here... or is that too wishful thinking?

[ but the mirrors shift!

As if calling out to one's beloved... ]

[ She watches the mirrors, because there's nowhere else to look. ]

Yves... Is this how you died?

Um...

Well, my heart did stop. [ to be honest ] But Adolphe somehow revived me! Even if it meant breaking some of my ribs.

I think I did technically die a little bit though, even though I don't remember going into the light or anything.

[ This is how people die!!! ]

... I'm glad you managed to live through it, but that seems really painful.

Oh, um...

I guess so?

You guess so?

[A strange thing to say.]

I guess I don't remember it that clearly after the explosion... I woke up and I was shocked to even make it.

They bandaged me up head to toe after that.

Please be a little bit more careful from here...
