*Eru: Argh! There's so many of them!
 	
*Reed: You can't give up!
*Reed: If we're defeated here, they'll go straight for the people!
 	
*Eru: I know that!
 	
*Eru: But there's no end to them!
 	
*Lucana: *Gasp...* *pant...*
 	
*Lucana: Urgh...
 	
*Aneil: Lucana, are you all right?!
 	
*Lucana: Y-Yes... I just let my guard down for a second.
 	
*Reed: Lucana, get back! I'll deal with things here!
 	
*Lucana: I'm okay!
 	
*Lucana: I can still fight...!
 	
*Aneil: Argh...
*Aneil: We should have anticipated there would be a massive God Army force waiting for us...
*Aneil: ...it makes sense when you think of it!
 	
*Aneil: And yet, I...
 	
*Nevsky: This is not your fault, Aneil...
*Nevsky: We had no choice but to advance, even if we knew enemies were waiting for us.
*Nevsky: If you still can't forgive yourself...
*Nevsky: ...you should think of something that only you can do, right now!
 	
*Aneil: Something that only I can do...
*Aneil: Rhein said something like that, too.
 	
*Aneil: I see... Something that only I can do...
*Aneil: ......

*Aneil: Reed! I'll draw off the enemies here!
 	
*Nevsky: ......
 	
*Reed: Wh-What?!
 	
*Reed: You can't handle all this by yourself!
 	
*Aneil: I'll...I'll be okay.
*Aneil: This was all expected!
 	
*Reed: This was expected?! Are you saying you have a plan?
 	
*Aneil: Yes, exactly.
 	
*Aneil: So, everyone, stick with my plan, and get to the other side of that gate up ahead!
 	
*Lucana: Will you really be all right?
 	
*Aneil: You worry too much, Lucana.
*Aneil: Back in our hometown, Reed always protected me from bullies...
*Aneil: ...and you always comforted me when I cried.
 	
*Aneil: But that's not who I am anymore. I've grown on this journey.
 	
*Aneil: So leave this...to me!
 	
*Eru: ......
*Eru: Come on, you heard him. Leave things to him, and let's hurry ahead to keep the people safe!
 	
*Reed: It's no good. I can't leave you here alone. You'll...
 	
*Aneil: Reed, I have faith in you and the others. Don't you have faith in me?
 	
*Reed: Th-That's...
 	
*Eru: Reed! Aneil said he has a plan!
*Eru: If we don't act, we'll be putting the people in danger! Remember what you're fighting for!
 	
*Reed: What I'm fighting for...
*Reed: All right, fine.
 	
*Reed: Aneil...don't die!
 	
*Lucana: Aneil...
 	
*Aneil: I leave the rest to you... And take care of Reed, too.
 	
*Lucana: I will...
*Lucana: And you be sure to catch up with us!
*Lucana: We'll...we'll be waiting for you!
 	
*Eru: ......
*Eru: Honestly, I never thought you'd say something like that.
 	
*Aneil: Yeah, I surprised myself.
 	
*Eru: Hmm...so I see.
 	
*Eru: Aneil...you better survive this!
 	
*Nevsky: ......
 	
*Aneil: ......

*Reed: Aneil...
 	
*Eru: I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but we don't have time to look back now.
*Eru: Even if...even if, for example, he didn't have a plan after all.
 	
*Lucana: What?!
 	
*Lucana: But...that means... Aneil will...
*Lucana: Hey, Reed? Why didn't you stop Aneil?
 	
*Reed: ......
 	
*Lucana: Reed!
 	
*Reed: I just couldn't... I couldn't make myself trample on his feelings for us.
 	
*Lucana: What does that mean?
*Lucana: It doesn't make any sense...
 	
*Lucana: I don't understand at all!
 	
*Reed: Lucana!
 	
*Eru: Leave her be!
*Eru: You'll only make things worse.
 	
*Reed: You're right.
 	
*Nevsky: Eru, I have a favor to ask.
 	
*Eru: Of me? And why are you being so polite?
 	
*Nevsky: ......
 	
*Eru: Huh?!
 	
*Eru: Oh, but...I see. Got it.
 	
*Nevsky: Please!
 	
*Eru: I'll have to steel myself for it, too.
