Lyse 	I've seen these faces before. That same weary hopelessness. It's like I'm back in Ala Gannha...
 	
Yugiri 	Let us not yet lose hope. Though the situation in Namai is bleak, mayhap it is not so elsewhere.
Yugiri 	I wish to speak with others outside the village. Lyse and I will look for farmers in the paddies to the east. [Player Name], I ask that you look to the south.
Yugiri 	Surely they cannot all have given in to despair...
 	
Azami 	Help me, please!
 	
Azami 	Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you hadn't come along, I don't know what I would've done!
Azami 	What am I doing out here? Oh...looking for flowers. I need some for my parents' graves.
Azami 	The ones my brother and I usually bring are yellow, because it was my mother's favorite color. You haven't seen any, have you?
 	
Azami 	If you find any yellow flowers, could you bring them to me? But be careful─my brother says that you have to look out for the vilekin!
 	
Azami 	Only yellow ones will do. Mother wouldn't have wanted anything else...
Azami 	Ah! You found some! Thank you so much, miss/sir. That's twice you've saved me now!
Azami 	Um, if you have some time to spare, maybe you could come with me? I'm sure Mother and Father would want to meet the woman/man who showed me such kindness.
Azami 	We buried them on a cliff to the west of the village. There's a path through the terraces. I'll show you!
 	
Azami 	We're here! Just give me a moment to put down the flowers, and I'll introduce you...
Azami 	They loved to meet travelers and hear tales of faraway places. Maybe you could tell them one about your homeland?
Isse 	Azami! Azami! Are you there? Azami!
Isse 	What in the─ You should not be here! Get away from my sister!
Azami 	Don't be so rude! She/He saved me from monsters, Brother─s/he even helped me pick flowers for Mother and Father!
Isse 	Go back to the village. Now.
Azami 	Y-You're scaring me─
Isse 	I said go! Stay inside and lock the door until I return!
Isse 	...Don't think me ungrateful. My sister is the only family I have. If you saved her, then...thank you. But it changes nothing. I asked you to leave, and now I'm asking you again.
Isse 	I'm not going to report you to the imperials, or anything stupid like that. But it's too dangerous for you to stay here. So please, I'm begging you─just leave us alone!
 	
Isse 	How many times do I have to tell you!? If they find you here, we're the ones they'll punish! And it'll be a thousand times worse than before!
Isse 	...So she told, did she? Yes. That's right.
Isse 	...My mother and father believed in the rebellion. They left to fight for Lord Kaien. They came home on a cart driven by imperial soldiers.
Isse 	The soldiers demanded that the families of the insurgents present themselves, or else they'd burn the whole village to the ground.
Isse 	So we did. What choice did we have?
Isse 	They beat us in the village square─with their hands, with sticks, with anything. They kicked us while we lay on the ground, begging for mercy. They made us denounce my mother and father─call them fools, call them traitors. Say they deserved to die.
Isse 	I heard them laugh, but I dared not look up. One leaned close and whispered in my ear what he'd do to my sister if they had to come back.
Isse 	They're gone, but they're never far. All it takes is the wrong word in the wrong ear, and they'll return. And then I'll have to dig another grave. If I'm lucky.
Isse 	Whatever you came here to do, leave us out of it. If you want to fight the imperials, go and fight them on your own.
Isse 	You can't help us. No one can. And this is all we've got. So please─don't take it from us.
 	
Lyse 	What's wrong, [Player Name]? Did something happen?
 	
Yugiri 	You are come at a good time, [Player Name]. We but recently completed our inquiries. What of yours?
Yugiri 	I...I was not aware of these events... The boy, Isse, he told you all of this?
Yugiri 	Such disgraceful, despicable crimes... If I knew the men responsible, I would not hesitate to hunt them down and─
Yugiri 	Forgive me, that outburst was unbecoming. The more I learn of the imperials' actions in my absence, the more difficult I find it to marshal my emotions...
Yugiri 	Could Lord Hien have foreseen this? That our people's spirits would be broken so? Though at first I scoffed at his pronouncement, it feels all too possible now that he might resolve to surrender himself...
