===Fresh Air===
;(Talk to Layla)
: Layla: Even the air here feels more relaxing.
: Layla: I just wanna forget about the thesis altogether! ...Heh, I'm just kidding. Knowing me, I'd only be able to forget about it for a little while.
: Layla: This doesn't count as trying to avoid my problems, does it?
: Your state of mind is just as important as efficiency if you want to solve the problems that you're facing.
: Layla: That's quite the legitimate excuse... Hmm, no, it's more of an "explanation." Hah, even I'm starting to get bolder with my words.
: Layla: I grew up in a place like this. Looking into the distance now with the breeze in my face makes me feel like a kid again.
: Layla: Those were the happiest days...
: What did you usually do as a kid?
: Layla: Hmm... I had a bunch of friends back then, and we would go pick wild berries in the woods.
: Layla: No matter what ingredients we found, we would cook them over a fire, and whoever lost one of our games would have to eat all of it.
: That sounds a little intense...
: Layla: No, it wasn't that bad. It really depended on how lucky you were. Grilled Apples and Sunsettias are actually quite delicious.
: Why don't we go find something to grill as well?
: Layla: Sure, I haven't done that in ages. Let's go!
;(Follow Layla)
: Layla: Apples and Zaytun Peaches were the most popular fruits back then.
: Layla: And of course, grilled fish is delicious, too. Oh, fish skin releases oils while cooking, which drip into the fire and cause it to burn even brighter.
: Layla: But we would always get yelled at by the grown-ups if they caught us sneaking into the river to catch fish.
: Layla: "What's the big deal? We just wanna swim!" That's what we used to say.
: Layla: But now that I think about it, it really was quite dangerous. Thank goodness nothing bad ever happened...
;(Gather ingredients and give them to Layla)
;(Using Nahida's All Schemes to Know to Layla, optional)
: Layla: (I've been getting hungry thinking about food all this time...)
;(Talk to Layla)
: Layla: I think we've found enough now, don't you?
;(Submit , , or )
: Layla: Alright, these should be enough.
: Layla: There's nothing like the smell of fresh ingredients. They already smell delicious.
: Layla: I'll be here cleaning the ingredients. Can you please fetch some firewood for us?
;(Continue to Like the Old Days)
===Like the Old Days===
;(Using Nahida's All Schemes to Know to Layla, optional)
: Layla: (This is a good spot for a fire. Even if the fire was to spread, it'd be easy to contain.)
;(Talk to Layla)
: Layla: I'll be here washing the ingredients. Can you please fetch some firewood for us?
;(Collect Dry Firewood ×3)
;(Talk to Layla)
:You make a fire with Layla and enjoy the delicious food.
: Layla: Mmm, fresh food is the best. I feel like I've traveled back in time.
: Layla: We all used to run around in the woods when we were kids. Trees and mud the world we knew best.
: Layla: It doesn't matter how long I'm away from the forest, I won't ever forget the feeling of running through the trees.
: Layla: How about you? Can you relate to that feeling? It's almost like not knowing the world will change or ever expecting it to change.
: I'm afraid not. I'm an adventurer, after all.
: Although adventurers rarely ever stay in one place, I hope I can experience that feeling one day.
: Layla: Whatever the case, it's a very warm feeling.
: Layla: In the end, I passed the admissions exam, and the life I had led came to an abrupt end.
: Layla: Later, as I sat in a lecture at the Akademiya, my mind started to wander and I began to think about home. It was then that I realized how long it had been since I went back.
: Layla: "Ahh, I can't go back anymore," and other similar thoughts started to come to mind... I guess I'm still not used to being in the Akademiya yet.
: There is a purpose for every stage in life.
: Layla: You're right, so we should let go of the past. I suppose this is also a part of growing up.
: Layla: But reminiscing about the carefree life of being a kid sure works wonders for the mind...
: Layla: You start missing those moments once you leave them behind... and that's a part of moving forward.
: Layla: From now on, I'd like to cherish every single day of my life... even when it's not the smoothest of rides.
: Everything will get better. I know you can do it.
;(Stress Value −1)
: Layla: Hehe, I'll take the compliment.
: Layla: A little bit of sugar and a good view really go a long way for relaxation.
: Layla: I thought it'd be impossible for me to enjoy something like this. I thought I'd never be able to get my mind off my thesis.
: Layla: But now, I feel like I'm fully enjoying myself. It's really great. So, what are we doing next?
: Sometimes, you don't need a plan.
: It's nice to just stroll around and see what happens.
: Layla: You're right. I've been doing research for so long that I'm used to having a certain routine...
: Layla: A carefree stroll... I like the sound of that.
