*Moments after defeating the Sealed God, Lucius, in the Grand Gaia Crater...
 	
*I see! So your name is Paris, right? Nice to meet you!
*My name is.........
*Paris, your hair always looks so pretty!
*My hair isn't though. I mean, I never even get it groomed...
*You know what? My mommy says I can't play with you anymore.
*She says we're from different worlds...
*But that can't be true.
*We'll always be friends, right...?

*Paris: ......a dream?
 	
*Paris: ...... How nostalgic...
*Paris: That girl was indeed my childhood fr--
 	
*???: Well, if it isn't Paris.
 	
*Paris: Huh?!
 	
*Paris: Oh, it's you Noel.
 	
*Noel: I can't say I ever expected you around these parts.
 	
*Paris: Yes, well, I finally had some time to myself, so I thought I could just read some books to pass the time.
 	
*Noel: Is reading the same thing as sleeping?
 	
*Paris: You saw me?!
 	
*Paris: Ugh, why didn't you just say something instead of staring!
 	
*Noel: Well, because I figured you must be tired.
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Noel: ......
*Noel: The Imperial Guard you belonged to no longer exists.
*Noel: And here you are hiding yourself from the world.
*Noel: I wonder if those two things are related?
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Noel: Oh, sorry.
*Noel: It's not like I'm blaming you for anything!
 	
*Noel: I was actually trying to cheer you up...
 	
*Paris: No, it's fine.
*Paris: I brought this upon myself.
*Paris: I will take responsibility for it all...
*Paris: Yes, for all of it...
 	
*Noel: Hmm...
*Noel: ......
 	
*Noel: I got it!
*Noel: I think I know the perfect place for you now, Paris.
*Noel: You should check out!
 	
*Paris: What? The perfect place for me?
*Paris: What kind of place is that?
 	
*Noel: You should just go!
*Noel: It's a place that will allow you to reevaluate yourself.
 	
*Paris: Reevaluate myself?
*Paris: A training ground of sorts...perhaps?
 	
*Noel: Yeah, something like that.
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Paris: I guess you're right. Sitting here doing nothing won't do me any good.
*Paris: Perhaps I should visit this place you speak of.
 	
*Noel: That's what I thought!
*Noel: C'mon, I'll show you to the place right away.
 	
*???: So, she finally left?
 	
*Noel: Looks that way.
*Noel: But spying on other people is not very nice, Rhynt.
 	
*Rhynt: I was not spying on anyone.
*Rhynt: I am in charge of this library, and it is my duty to enforce the golden rule of silence.
*Rhynt: Considering how long you were both talking, it is a wonder how I managed to keep my ears at all.
 	
*Noel: Yeah, I guess we were talking for a little longer than a while.
 	
*Rhynt: And about a place where one may "reevaluate" oneself, nonetheless.
*Rhynt: What a sweet way to word it.
 	
*Noel: I'm not lying, if that's what you mean.
 	
*Noel: I just want Paris to recover as soon as possible so her abilities can grow further.
*Noel: Right now she may have a lot of free time on her hands...
*Noel: ...but once the Imperial Guard is reinstated, she's gonna have to make use of that hidden potential of hers.
 	
*Noel: Though I doubt that she is aware of her own capabilities.
 	
*Rhynt: My, my. Smarter than we look, aren't we?
 	
*Noel: Well, you know.
 	
*Noel: I wouldn't go as far as saying there is no one left in the Capital...
*Noel: ...who can come close to Eriole or Tesla...
*Noel: ...but after Eriole's plans for insurrection became known by a portion of the nobility...
*Noel: ...this empire might finally start considering that talent is more important than lineage.
 	
*Rhynt: I must say that I find all this interest you have in politics quite unexpected.
 	
*Noel: Oh, shut it. It's not like I really care about politics in any way.
*Noel: I just did some research on what makes Paris tick is all.
 	
*Noel: ...... Though I gotta admit...
*Noel: ...I'm not willing to help her grow just for her own sake.
 	
*Rhynt: But will her alone really suffice?
 	
*Noel: Well, as far as potential goes, I don't see any problems...
*Noel: But that girl is a lot more fragile than she seems.
 	
*Noel: ...oh, I just remembered!
*Noel: There is someone else that could come in handy this time.
