;(Approach Affan or Sabbah)
:Affan: It's you guys. Well then, we and the roses have all been waiting for you.
:Paimon: Sabbah came early too!
:Sabbah: I've been coming here a lot lately, and I've read the notes that Mr. Shafaqat left behind.
:Sabbah: I used to feel lonely staying in Aaru Village, but I feel differently now.
:Sabbah: At least I'm not completely alone. I have these roses, the memories of being with you guys, and Mr. Affan.
:Sabbah: I still have some good things in my life, and just thinking of that makes me feel less lonely.
:Sabbah: Mr. Affan and I have had a discussion. I will help him tend to the Golden Roses from now on.
:Sabbah: We'll cultivate more of them till they fill the whole nursery. But for now, let's get these to bloom.
:Sabbah: Do you remember how you made my Sumeru Roses bloom? Let's use the same method.
: Let us help.
:Sabbah: Okay, it's up to you now.
;(Talk to Affan again, optional)
:Affan: If these few specimens grow well, we will be able to cultivate more Golden Roses.
:Affan: But until then, I think I would feel quite a bit more assured if these few roses bloomed first.
;(Talk to Sabbah again, optional)
:Sabbah: Use the power of to awaken the flower sleeping within the shoots.

;(The Golden Roses bloom)
:Paimon: Golden Roses really are beautiful. Seeing them bloom has really brightened Paimon's day!
:Paimon: These days of hard work were not in vain. Paimon's so happy!
: The wish has finally been fulfilled.
: It was all worth it.
:Affan: I finally did something right in the end. Uncle Shafaqat, I've helped you fulfill your wish.
:Sabbah: It's a shame he is no longer around to see it.
:Affan: Don't say that, Sabbah. Do you remember the last stanza of the rose song?
:Affan: "No land but folk songs bore my spirit."
:Affan: "Songs shall defy my fate, and overcome my destiny."
:Affan: "They will surpass me, surpass time. They will surpass the ever-lasting withering of life."
:Affan: Uncle Shafaqat's life, the Golden Roses, and the folk song he composed himself — they have all remained with us.
:Sabbah: Yeah, you're right. He has surpassed time and the withering of life.
:Sabbah: Thank you for telling me about him. This means a lot to me.
:Sabbah: He was an exile before me, and seeing the traces of his life here always makes me feel like I've crossed through time and space...
:Sabbah: I'm not just looking at him. I'm looking at myself too.
:Sabbah: I can no longer say anything to him, but I can shoulder his regrets and live on.
:Sabbah: If I live on for him too, then I'm sure that I will eventually find my own salvation.
: I wish you happiness.
: Keep your chin up.
:Sabbah: I don't feel so bad living here anymore. I'm... so glad I met you all.
:Sabbah: Roses truly are flowers that can bring people happiness. Mr. Affan, we shall have to work hard and plant more roses here in the future.
:Affan: Hahaha! Well then, you have a deal.
:Sabbah: Mm, I'll do my best.
