Nah: And right after we recovered Gules and Azure too... we can't go back like this...
Cynthia: Don't be scared, Noire, Nah! This is where a true hero makes their comeback! So I'm sure it'll be fine! Right, Kjelle?
Kjelle: Right — we haven't lost yet. There were countless times when we thought we were facing death ever since arriving to Plegia, but each time, the four of us had managed to survive. There's no way we will lose just by getting surrounded with enemies of this level.
Cynthia: Exactly! If it's us, we'll definitely win! If the four of us join forces, these guys will...
Noire: ...!? T-these Risen are acting weird!
Cynthia: Uwah!? What are they doing all of a sudden!? We've been split up! Ah—... w-wait a second! Don't grab my lance!! That's my mom's keepsake — it's important to me...! No, don't take it away! Hey, give it back... give it back, I said! Please, anything but that lance — don't take it!!
Nah: This guy stole my dragonstone! I can't fight without that! Give it back! Give back my dragonstone!!
Noire: I'm sure... it's a warning because we were planning on fighting back... ahh... they stole my talisman too... it's all hopeless...
Kjelle: Let go! Are you underestimating us because we're female!? Two against one and taking my weapon away is just cowardice! Fight with me fair and square!!
Cynthia: Guys, this looks bad! The flames around us are getting stronger too! We need to find an opening and join—...
(fence separates them all)
Cynthia: !? A fence...!? No way, that's just... with this, we can't regroup...
Nah: ... is this it? I can't think about any way out of this. Now then, if you're going to kill me, do it quickly... I've been prepared for this ever since we left the country...
Cynthia: Wait, Nah!? What are you saying!? You can't give up! What about the Gemstones!? If we give up here, the Gemstones will be incomplete! We don't be able to complete the Awakening, and this world will end, you know!?
Nah: ... I know that! We all know that! I don't want to die in a place like this! I want to go home back to Ylisse with the Gemstones! But... what can we do now? Will help conveniently arrive from out of nowhere? Or are you saying that your alleged hero of justice will appear?
Cynthia: That's...
Nah: ... I understand how you feel. Even I... wondered if Naga could help us, everytime something happens... I would hear her voice, and then she would rescue us — I've thought about that. But I haven't heard Naga's voice, not even once. ... there's no way something as miraculous as that could happen.
Cynthia: .....
Nah: ... Cynthia. I don't want our parting to end with a fight... so many things have happened up until now, but... I'm glad that I was able to be with everybody. I loved you all. Thank you for everything. Next time... it would be nice if we could be born into a peaceful era and see each other again...
Cynthia: Nah!? Don't say something like that! Nah!!
Noire: ... I'm happy that I was able to be with everybody too. You were all my emotional support. I'm sorry that I whined and complained all the time. I was always quick to say "It'll be the end for all of us soon!", but from the bottom of my heart, I had always thought that everything will work out if I was with everyone. But... this is truly the end for us. I really wanted to take the Gemstones home and bring peace back into the world — and then I could actually just talk about silly things with everyone, and go shopping in town like a normal girl... *sniff*... I'll stop. If I talk any more... our parting will become painful...
Cynthia: Noire!! No... I don't want this...!
Kjelle: I'm glad that I was able to fight together with everyone as well. I was a little uneasy at first, but everybody was stronger and braver than I thought, and I was able to leave my back to all of you with no worry. With the four of us, I never had a thought about losing. I felt like we could save the world and everything. ... but this time, I can't see a way out of this... expecting other people to help us out isn't likely... and as long as the rest of our comrades live, they might be able to find a way to win even without Gules and Azure... if that happens, even if we fall here, we would still have won in the end. So it's not like we lost. It's... not. At least let me think that, in my last moments...
Cynthia: ..... Kjelle. ..... that's... right. We don't even have weapons... there's no way we can get out of this situation. ... it's frustrating, but I can't save everyone with these hands of mine. But... I'm not going to give up. I won't die in a place like this. We'll bring back the Gemstones, and defeat the Fell Dragon... I want to try living in a peaceful world together with everyone. ... yeah. That's right... I have to fulfill that wish. I still want to believe that it'll all work out. I want to believe that there's still a way for all of us to go home... it's as Nah said — wishing for a convenient miracle might be ridiculous, and the gods really might not exist, but... even so, please... Please, gods. Please save... save everybody...!
