Bernard

'Bear spirits burning in my heart!'

*Bernard - Guard Captain of Ursus Altar.*

*Tough-willed and beloved by his soldiers. Young, but likes to refer to himself as a senior.*

*A kind but fierce fighter, wants to protect his brothers at all cost.*

## Intro

Raised by Shadowhunters, Bernard has but one goal: Be an outstanding Shadowhunter who fights shadow and preserves order. He has been protecting the Ursus Altar since he was 16 and has kept his Furry form, which grants him greater strength and keener senses, as well as scaring off average folks wanting to explore the altar.

Despite the many scars left on his body by the long war against the Shadow, he remains resolute and is ever-ready to fend off incursions on the Altar. He likes to refer himself as old when he is clearly young, and his broad shoulders and robust physique let others feel safe and secure.

In what little spare time he has, he'll nap under a tree, but always with one ear perked in vigilance.

### Consolation Letter

My dear friend,

It's a great honor to make a good friend like you. What a pity that I am occupied by my duty to fight the increasing activities of the Shadow. Would you like to pay me a visit at the altar at your convenience? I shall welcome you with the finest food and wine.

Moreover, if you have discovered any movement of the Shadow, please write to notify me as soon as possible!

Take care on your journey. My best regards!

For the honor of the Ursus Altar! For my burning bear soul! Ahem... Will you vote for me, brother?

### Intimacy Breakthrough

**This section contains spoilers for Intimacy Breakthrough scenes.**

**-Intimacy Level 4**

**Bernard**: I received your gift.
**Bernard**: On behalf of the Shadowhunters, I'd like to thank you for your support.
**Bernard**: We will continue to fight bravely until the Shadows are eliminated once and for all.

**-Intimacy Level 5**

**Bernard**: Wow, you brought more gifts.
**Bernard**: I don't know what to say.
**Bernard**: If there's anything I can help with you, please let me know.

**-Intimacy Level 6**

**Bernard**: Haha, it's you again.
**Bernard**: I think the two of us get along well.
**Bernard**: Next time I get off duty, I'll treat you to a drink.

**-Intimacy Level 7**

**Bernard**: Today I've got the day off. I'd like to spend some time with you.
**Player**: All right. Let's go drinking!
**Bernard**: I'll make a big mess of things if I drink. I'm sorry.
**Player**: Rice wine?
**Bernard**: I can't.
**Player**: Fruit wine?
**Bernard**: Can't do that either.
**Player**: If you really can't drink any kind of wine, then let's just drink tea.
**Bernard**: Sounds great.
**Bernard**: I see that you men of culture like to drink tea.
**Bernard**: I'd like to take this opportunity to learn how to drink tea from you.
**Player**: ...
**Bernard**: Are we going to drink black tea, green tea, or...milk tea?
**Player**: How about...I treat you to a kind of tea that you've never had before?
**Bernard**: Sure. Whatever tea you'd like to drink, it's up to you.
**Player**: ...
*Scene transition*
**Bernard**: This tea...
**Bernard**: Is delicious.
**Bernard**: But I'm a little dizzy...
**Player**: Haha, I never thought 'tea' would get the best of you!
**Bernard**: Never Isle's...iced tea is quite potent.
**Player**: Then I'll help you to your room so you can rest!
**Bernard**: Thanks.
**Bernard**: Next time you go out to drink, be sure to give me a call.
**Player**: Sure, no problem.

**-Intimacy Level 8**

**Bernard**: Defending the altar can get boring sometimes.
**Bernard**: So I've got lots of hobbies.
**Bernard**: Like everyone else, I know how to write poetry.
**Bernard**: Aside from poetry,
**Bernard**: I'm also pretty good at barbecuing, and things like that.
**Bernard**: But the hobby I'm most proud of is making my own jam.
**Bernard**: These days you're always treating me to drinks.
**Bernard**: Next time, I'll bring you some of my homemade jam.

**-Intimacy Level 9**

**Bernard**: You're always giving me gifts.
**Bernard**: I'm not going to have any place to put them all pretty soon.
**Bernard**: But I keep each and every one of them.
**Bernard**: I like all of your gifts.
**Bernard**: However...
**Bernard**: Why does it seem like you're much skinnier these days?
**Bernard**: Even when you're really busy, you need to pay attention to your health. Make sure to eat and drink regularly.
**Bernard**: What's going to happen if your body breaks down?
**Bernard**: I brought you some meat and some good wine.
**Bernard**: Come have a couple drinks with me. Let's chat.

**-Intimacy Level 10**

**Bernard**: Damnable Shadows.
**Bernard**: I will never let the tragedy of the altar be replayed!
**Bernard**: But in order to fully return peace to Luxium, the Shadows must be completely eliminated!
**Bernard**: Lately, the Shadowhunters have been way too passive.
**Bernard**: We need to take the initiative and attack.
**Bernard**: \*sighs\*...
**Bernard**: All I can do is defend the altar with my life.
**Bernard**: The Earth's Flux must not be lost!
**Bernard**: If I get the opportunity, I want to attack the Shadows' stronghold.
**Bernard**: Eliminate them all!

**-Intimacy Level 11**

**Bear Guard**: I'm back from my vacation, Captain!
**Bernard**: All right. Just go ahead and jump into training.
**Bear Guard**: Yes, Captain!
**Bernard**: Hey, about that book I asked you to bring me, the Red Shore Haiku Collection...
**Bear Guard**: Oh... Captain, I forgot...
**Bernard**: ...All right. Nevermind. Go to train yourself.
**Bear Guard**: Captain, the Shadows could attack any time now, so the Shadowhunters are hurriedly preparing for battle...
**Bear Guard**: So maybe... You shouldn't always be writing poems...
**Bernard**: Why? It's not like I'm writing poems when I should be training?
**Bear Guard**: But poems are all about love and feelings, or flowers and plants...
**Bear Guard**: You get too much of that stuff and it'll make you indecisive and distracted. It could affect your ability to kill on the battlefield...
**Bernard**: ...That makes sense.
**Bear Guard**: Well don't take it straight to heart, Captain. It's just my personal opinion!
**Bear Guard**: There's nothing wrong with you liking to write poems, I just...
**Bernard**: Don't worry. Say no more, brother. I get it.
**Bernard**: I need to distinguish between what's important what isn't, and pay attention to the overall situation...
**Bernard**: It's nothing more than a personal hobby. I'll give it up.
**Bear Guard**: Then I'm going to training, Captain!
**Bernard**: All right, go on.
**Player**: Captain Bernard, I'm here to see you!
**Bernard**: Huh? What's wrong?
**Player**: Didn't you want the Red Shore Haiku Collection? I brought you a copy.
**Bernard**: I... I don't want it...
**Player**: Because of what that Ursine just said?
**Bernard**: Yeah. He's right. I shouldn't get distracted at a critical moment like this.
**Player**: It's not like this is some unhealthy hobby. Besides, striking the proper balance between work and rest actually improves efficiency.
**Player**: Moreover, you could even try writing poems about war!
**Player**: That would not only meet the criteria of your hobby, but you could also read them to your brothers to raise their morale!
**Bernard**: Poems about war?
**Bernard**: A shadow deceased, puts my heart at peace!'
**Bernard**: Like that?
**Player**: Haha, something like that. Anyway, it could use some polishing.
**Bernard**: All right! I'll polish it up!
**Bernard**: I'm going to write a heroic poem that will convey my heroic spirit and boost the morale of my brothers!
**Bernard**: Hand me the collection of haikus. With this collection, I'm going to write a great poem!
**Player**: All right. I'm looking forward to hearing your masterpiece!
*Scene transition*
**Bernard**: I'm finished writing. I want to read it to you first.
**Bernard**: Let me know if you have any suggestions.
**Bernard**: The banners dance, and the dark clouds break.'
**Player**: Sounds good so far.
**Bernard**: Yeah. The dark clouds are the Shadows. This is called symbolism.
**Bernard**: Next line.
**Bernard**: The spears advance, and the enemy shakes.'
**Bernard**: Although my weapons are claws, my brothers are used to using spears, so I changed it to spears.
**Player**: Yeah. However, in the first part you said 'dark clouds,' so it would be best to use another symbol for the shadows in the second part as well, and not just say 'enemy.'
**Bernard**: You're right, but...
**Bernard**: I'm afraid my brothers wouldn't understand...
**Bernard**: Also, I couldn't think of another symbol.
**Player**: Think it over carefully. Even if you can't find the right word, it's still pretty good as it is!
**Bernard**: Here we stand, we will not bend.'
**Bernard**: This is the land we must defend!'
**Player**: Not bad! It's a bit standard, but it's still powerful!
**Bernard**: Heh heh, you're too kind!
**Player**: Your brothers will definitely like this poem. Then they'll fight all the harder to help you defend this land!
**Bernard**: Really? When you say it like that, it makes me eager to share it with them!
**Player**: Yeah. Go share it with them. Be sure to yell the last line. That will make it more powerful!
**Bernard**: I'm going to go immediately. Come with me and support me!
**Player**: No problem!

**-Intimacy Level 12**

**Bernard**: I...
**Bernard**: Lately, I've been thinking of you a lot.
**Bernard**: I can relax, seeing you well.
**Bernard**: Next time you go into battle, be sure to take me.
**Bernard**: I can't rest easy, you going out all alone.
**Bernard**: Take me.
**Bernard**: I will become your shield.

**-Intimacy Level 13**

**Bernard**: Besides Moon, you're the only friend I've got that I can talk about stuff with.
**Bernard**: No... I should speak more carefully.
**Bernard**: Moon and I are more like dear brothers.
**Bernard**: You're more than a dear brother to me.
**Bernard**: I can trust you with my life.
**Bernard**: Uh, that's not to say I can't trust Moon.
**Bernard**: With you by my side, I feel more relaxed.
**Bernard**: That's not to say that Moon makes me anxious.
**Bernard**: I don't know how to explain it...
**Bernard**: In short, you're very important to me.
**Bernard**: Once all of this is over, I plan on becoming a traveling poet.
**Bernard**: I want to admire of all Luxium's famous scenery.
**Bernard**: When that time comes, why don't you come traveling with me?
**Bernard**: We can eat together and stay together. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
**Bernard**: Later, I'll turn our travels into poems and publish a collection.
**Bernard**: It will be called...
**Bernard**: Heh heh. I'll leave the name up to you.

### Dates

**This section contains spoilers for Date scenes.**

**Bonfire**

**-Intro**

**Bernard**: I'm hosting a campfire feast and I'd like you to be my special guest.
**Player**: Yes.
*Scene transition*
**Bernard**: The campfire feast is a revelry for Shadowhunters, and the altar hasn't seen such fun in a while.
**Bernard**: I'm very happy you could come.

**-Just two of you in a tent. - 900 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: I have the same idea as well.
**Bernard**: The men will party their hearts out tonight.
**Bernard**: I just want to find a chance to recite poetry to you alone.
**Bernard**: I still have many unfinished work and would like your advice.
**Bernard**: My tent isn't enormous, but big enough for you and me.
**Bernard**: Why don't you stay the night?

**-Make orange jam together. - 700 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: Yes, this is my favorite jam!
**Bernard**: The men have defended the altar with me with no regards for their lives.
**Bernard**: So this is the night for them to party their hearts out!
**Bernard**: I'm handling the food details.
**Bernard**: So make jam and sweets with me, if you don't mind!

**-Ask him to dance. - 500 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: Dance?
**Bernard**: I'm rather clumsy and might step on your foot.
**Bernard**: I'm nimble when I fight, but I get, uh, nervous, when I hold others and move slowly.
**Bernard**: But if you really want to, I won't give you a chance to find another partner.
**Bernard**: Ahem, now show me the basic steps.

**My Treat**

**-Intro**

**Bernard**: Got time to come to the Ursus Altar?
**Player**: Yes.
*Scene transition*
**Bernard**: I just got my stipend and would like to treat you out.
**Bernard**: Do you want to...

**-See The Rupor Show. - 700 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: The Rupor Show?
**Bernard**: It seems you're more interested in seeing Rupor than seeing me.
**Bernard**: But, if that's what you wanted, I will oblige.
**Bernard**: Rupor is red hot and tickets are impossible to get.
**Bernard**: I'll camp out overnight for tickets on my days off.
**Bernard**: You can go now and wait for my good news.

**-Eat popsicles. - 900 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: No problem!
**Bernard**: I didn't think you like it too!
**Bernard**: I love dipping popsicles in jam!
**Bernard**: I'd eat it in hot summer for instant refreshment.
**Bernard**: I didn't want to be mocked, so I always hid and lick one alone.
**Bernard**: So you like it, too! Great, I shall treat you to all-you-can-eat!
**Bernard**: Come on, let's go lick us some popsicles!

**-Have some tea. - 500 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: That's probably not doable.
**Bernard**: I set the rule of no alcohol while guarding the altar.
**Bernard**: I can't break it myself.
**Player**: But didn't you drink with me at Hottie that one time?
**Player**: Your favorite libation... What was it called again?
**Bernard**: (nervous) Shhh!
**Bernard**: (whispering) No drinking on duty, but it's fine occasionally on off-days...
**Bernard**: (whispering) Just not today, but I'll let you know when it's my day off.

**Sick Leave**

**-Intro**

**Bear Guard**: The captain got sick standing guard all night. Can you come treat him?
**Player**: Yes.
*Scene transition*
**Player**: He's hot all over!
**Player**: He caught a fever!

**-Take medicine. - 700 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: You need medicine.
**Bernard**: We have a shortage. The medic did gave me some antibiotics.
**Player**: Uh, no. You need fever medicine.
**Player**: Stay put while I go get some.
**Bernard**: All right, I'll wait for you here.

**-Drink hot water. - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: Drink more hot water, that's the cure-all.
**Bernard**: Ah.
**Bernard**: Will do.
**Bernard**: I'll boil some water now.
**Player**: Stay put and let me.
**Bernard**: Oh, thank you.

**-Get a shot. - 900 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: A shot might work.
**Bernard**: But we don't have anything like that here at the altar.
**Player**: I'll take you to Never Isle and get Mercy to give you a shot.
**Bernard**: No, I can't leave the altar.
**Player**: Then I'll bring Mercy here and give you a shot.
**Bernard**: No, I don't want her anywhere near me with a needle.
**Player**: Gotcha.
**Player**: You don't mind me with a needle, do you?
**Bernard**: Got no problem with that.
**Player**: Wait here and I shall return from Never Isle with syringe and meds.
**Bernard**: Take your time, I'll wait.

**Holiday**

**-Intro**

**Bernard**: I have the day off today and want to see you. Would you show me around your airship?
**Player**: Okay!
*Scene transition*
**Player**: You're usually so busy defending the altar. How did you find time to come visit me today?
**Bernard**: Today is my day off.
**Player**: I know, but don't you usually do things like visit Never Isle or watch the Rupor Show on your days off?
**Bernard**: I have no interest in the Rupor Show.
**Bernard**: (Take out present) I love this gift.
**Bernard**: For many years, you're the only one who has given me any gifts.
**Player**: That can't be. You don't have any other friends?
**Bernard**: Oh, I've got lots of friends. Most of them are Shadowhunters like myself. But you're the first who gives me presents.

**-Choice A: Do you like to get gifts from me?**

**Bernard**: (Shy) Oh? Mm.
**Bernard**: But anyway, it's not a big deal. I don't want you to spend too much money on me.
**Bernard**: This is some jam I made myself. Try it out and see if you like it.
**Player**: Then don't mind if I do.
**Player**: Wow, this is very delicious! I had no idea you were so talented, Bernard.
**Bernard**: You like it! Next time, I'll be sure to bring you some.
**Player**: Seems like I've got a real knack for finding tasty foods.
**Bernard**: (Points off into the distance) You see that down there? See it?

**-Choice A.1: The Ursus Altar?**

**Bernard**: Yeah. It's hard to believe that such a large altar is only the size of my paw when you look at it from up here.
**Player**: The Ursus Altar is quite magnificent.
**Bernard**: Heh. I wouldn't dare say otherwise. However, the Ursus Altar is indeed the most magnificent place in all Luxium.
**Bernard**: Because of the Earth Nexus, all the plants around the Altar grow sturdy and tall.
**Bernard**: Warriors can also draw upon the power of the earth to become stronger, as well.
**Bernard**: I think you should move to the Ursus Altar. You can also draw upon the power of the earth to become stronger.
**Player**: (Move to the Ursus Altar? I could pet Beary all day long! That would be heaven.)
**Player**: (You need to give Bernard an answer! Quick!)
*All Choices: "I can't. I want to return home to my own world.", "I can't. My own world needs me.", "I can't, I need to return home."*
**Bernard**: All right. That's too bad, but I respect your choice.
**Player**: (Heavens, what was I just doing? Why am I such a hypocrite?)
**Bernard**: (Watch sunset) Look at the sunset. It's so beautiful.
**Bernard**: When I wasn't at the Altar, the sunset was beautiful, too.
**Bernard**: Actually, when I was little, I dreamed of becoming an adventurer. I wanted to travel every inch of Luxium and see everything there was to see.
**Bernard**: And also, eat all of the jam under the sun.
**Player**: Then why did you join the Shadowhunters?
**Bernard**: Because the Shadows are a threat to all of Luxium.
**Bernard**: I watched helplessly as my friends and loved ones were killed by Shadows. I couldn't do anything to stop them.
**Bernard**: So when I was 16, I decided to become the shield that would protect the ones I love, the world I love.
**Bernard**: If it was you, would you make the same choice?

**-Choice A.1.1.1: I would protect the things I love. - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: If I was the only person left in the world, my dream would have no meaning.
**Player**: I hate seeing the ones I love leave.
**Player**: I will protect you, Bernard.
**Bernard**: Then the things behind me I will entrust to you.
**Player**: It's getting late. Let's head to the Hottie Bar for a couple drinks.
**Bernard**: I can't. I can't drink. That's a rule of the altar.
**Player**: We're not at the Ursus Altar right now.
**Bernard**: All right. I'll take it easy today. Let's drink a little!
*Scene ends*

**-Choice A.1.1.2: I would have followed my dream. - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: My dreams are there to be chased. They're my life's meaning.
**Player**: Even if the world is wiped out, I will not give up on my dreams.
**Bernard**: Indeed. You are free to pursue your dreams.
**Player**: Why do you say it like that?
**Bernard**: Because I will always protect you.
**Player**: It's getting late. Let's head to the Hottie Bar for a couple drinks.
**Bernard**: I can't. I can't drink. That's a rule of the altar.
**Player**: We're not at the Ursus Altar right now.
**Bernard**: I can't. I cannot break the rules.
*Scene ends*

**-Choice A.2: Never Isle?**

**Bernard**: Hmm, yes. Look at the Flux Barrier. It is always protecting Never Isle's safety.
**Bernard**: It would be great if the Ursus Altar had such a barrier.
**Player**: This is because of the Arcana Nexus beneath Never Isle, isn't it?
**Player**: And it's because of the hard work of the masters at the Arcane Academy.
**Bernard**: Yeah. Next time I get a day off, I'm going to go visit the Arcane Academy.
**Bernard**: I'm going to see if the arcanists at the Arcane Academy can use the Earth Nexus to build a barrier around the Altar.
**Bernard**: (Suddenly sad) Ay...
**Player**: What's wrong, Bernard?
**Bernard**: If the Ursus Altar had a barrier, so many of my brothers would not have to die.
**Bernard**: Thinking about it now, it really is because of my incompetence that so many of my brothers...

**-Choice A.2.1: This isn't your fault. - 900 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: No. If only I were stronger, I could have protected them and they would not be dead.
**Player**: No! Without you, even more innocents would have been hurt! Even more warriors would have sacrificed their lives.
**Player**: You're the one who contained the damage. It's also you that's always protecting the Ursus Altar.
**Player**: You're a hero to everyone.
**Bernard**: (Gradually smile) Thank you.
**Player**: Hey, you're quite a handsome big Beary when you smile, Bernard.
**Bernard**: Big Beary?
**Bernard**: I like it when you call me that.
**Player**: It's getting late. Let's head to the Hottie Bar for a couple drinks.
**Bernard**: I can't. I can't drink. That's a rule of the altar.
**Player**: We're not at the Ursus Altar right now.
**Bernard**: All right. I'll take it easy today. Let's drink a little!
*Scene ends*

**-Choice A.2.2 - This is the Shadows' fault. - 700 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: I'm their elder. We may not be related by blood, but I am their older brother nonetheless.
**Bernard**: Even as their older brother, I cannot protect them.
**Bernard**: I'm a failure, aren't I?
**Player**: Bernard, no one can change the past. However, we can change our future.
**Player**: No matter how much you regret their loss, it will not bring them back!
**Player**: What's most regrettable is that even as you're feeling sad and remorseful, the Shadows are still running rampant all over the place.
**Player**: All we can do is use our strength to eradicate the Shadows and built a future without them.
**Player**: That's how you'll be able to protect more people!
**Bernard**: (Gradually smile) Thank you, my brother.
**Bernard**: It's getting late. My break is almost over. Can you take me back to the Ursus Altar?
**Player**: No problem!
*Scene ends*

**-Choice B: Do you like to get gifts from your friends?**

**Player**: I'm going to suggest to them that they give you a gift.
**Bernard**: That's not necessary. I don't want to force anybody to do anything.
**Bernard**: When I get a chance, I'll bring you some of my homemade jam.
**Player**: Wow, that's something worth looking forward to!
**Bernard**: (Looking off into the distance) The sky is a really beautiful color. I can't see this from the altar.
**Bernard**: Actually, when I was little, I dreamed of becoming an adventurer. I wanted to travel every inch of Luxium and see everything there was to see.

**-Choice B.1: Then come with me! We'll travel the world together!**

**Bernard**: I can't. I'm an honorable member of the Shadowhunters.
**Bernard**: Being a Shadowhunter is what I'm most proud of.
**Bernard**: Being able to defend the Ursus Altar is what brings me honor.
**Bernard**: Compared to the dream I had when I was little, I've found an even grander dream.
**Bernard**: To eliminate the Shadows!
**Bernard**: In the future, I want to have my son become a Shadowhunter, too.
**Player**: (What? Son?!)
**Bernard**: In the future, the Bernard clan will be the most famous Shadowhunter Legion in all of Luxium!
**Player**: (Forlornly) Then I look forward to hearing of the Bernard Clan's glorious success.
**Player**: When that happens, I hope you won't forget about me.
**Bernard**: How could I? You're my friend. I never forget my friends!
*Scene ends*

**-Choice B.2: But the Ursus Altar needs you. - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: The Ursus Altar is the Earth Nexus. It wouldn't be able to survive without you.
**Bernard**: Yes. I cannot abandon my brothers at the Altar.
**Bernard**: I've already made defending the Altar and being a Shadowhunter my life's work.
**Bernard**: With the Shadows running wild, nowhere in Luxium is safe.
**Bernard**: If the world falls into the hands of the Shadows, nobody will be able to realize their dreams.
**Bernard**: Being able to use my strength to protect the world and the dreams of the people in it is my dream now.
**Player**: Then what about after that? Sooner or later, there will be a day when the Shadows are completely eliminated.
**Bernard**: Then I'll go be an adventurer and taste all the jam the world has to offer!
**Player**: Jam may be tasty, but you have to be careful not to get fat.
**Bernard**: Haha, I'm not afraid of getting fat.

**Scar and Oath**

Bernard is safeguarding the altar when two villagers come up to him. They wish to make a prayer here. Will Bernard let them?

**-Part 1**

*Scene - Ursus Altar*
**Player**: Hey, it's been a while, brother.
**Player**: What are you doing here?
**Bernard**: Protecting the altar!
*Choice - Come on!*
**Player**: What's there to protect?
**Player**: No one's come here in a long time! You've scared them all away!
**Bernard**: Don't bother me.
*Choice - Thank you! - 5 Intimacy*
**Player**: I've just come from Lan's. I brought some wine. Wanna try some?
**Bernard**: Can't drink on the job.
**Player**: All right. More for me, then!
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Bernard**: Hmm?
**Bernard**: Who's there?!
*A mother and child walk up to the altar's gate*
**Bernard**: Stop right there!
**Boy**: Mama, this big white bear is scary...
**Woman**: Don't hurt my child!
**Bernard**: I wouldn't think of it.
**Bernard**: But you cannot come here.
**Woman**: We come from a nearby village.
**Woman**: We've come to the altar to pray.
**Woman**: My child's father is sick in bed. He won't wake up...
**Woman**: Please, Messenger of the Altar. Have mercy upon us. Let us go in.
**Bernard**: This place isn't safe.
**Woman**: I'm begging you.

**-Choice A - Why don't you let them go in?**

**Bernard**: That's not possible!
**Bernard**: I already told you that you cannot come here!
**Bernard**: Leave now.
**Woman**: You damned monster...
**Woman**: You're supposed to be protecting the altar, but you're using it for embezzlement!
**Woman**: You're hogging it all for yourself!
**Woman**: You're going to suffer retribution!
**Bernard**: (A deafening bear roar...)
**Boy**: Ah! Mommy, I'm scared!
**Woman**: You beast, you just said you wouldn't hurt us!
**Bernard**: Leave!
**Player**: What are you trying to do, Bernard?
**Player**: I'll stop him. You all get away...
*The mother and child run away*
**Bernard**: Why are you in my way?!
**Player**: I'm not going to stand here and watch while you hurt a woman and a child!
**Player**: I'm an upstanding man!
**Bernard**: You fool, who said I was going to hurt them?
**Bernard**: I only wanted to scare them away!
**Player**: Really?
**Bernard**: Don't give me that nonsense!
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice B - He said it's not safe. Get out of here! - 8 Intimacy**

**Woman**: I've never heard of anything happening here. Why is it so unsafe?
**Woman**: Besides, you guys are here, too.
**Woman**: The Messenger of the Altar is really strong.
**Woman**: Even if something happens, he'll protect us!
**Bernard**: No I won't!
**Player**: ...
**Bernard**: Leave now.
**Woman**: You...
**Woman**: You're too unreasonable, you big, fat bear!
**Woman**: I'm going to the altar today no matter what!
**Bernard**: (A deafening bear roar...)
**Woman**: Ahhh!
**Woman**: He's going to kill us!
**Woman**: Run! Run!
*The mother and child run away*
**Player**: Why do you have to be so fierce?!
**Bernard**: They won't run away if I'm not fierce.
*Go to Part 2*

**-Part 2**

**Player**: I don't understand you. Didn't they come here just to pray?
**Player**: You said it wasn't safe. What did you mean it wasn't safe?
**Bernard**: Shadows come here often. It is very dangerous for defenseless villagers to hang around this place.
**Bernard**: I also need to be on guard for shadows who come here disguised as villagers to do evil.

**-Choice A - You were actually worried about that mother and child, weren't you? - 8 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: Yes. I'm afraid they'd lose their lives before they could even pray.
**Bernard**: What are you afraid of? You're here!
**Bernard**: I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect them.
**Bernard**: If the shadows are powerful, I wouldn't be able to handle them!
**Bernard**: Something like this has happened before...
**Bernard**: One day, a poor, lonely old man came to the altar and said...
**Bernard**: He had no place to go and he wanted to sleep here for the night.
**Bernard**: I took a good look at him...
**Bernard**: He seemed kind and amiable, like an old man from the Shadowhunters who once took care of me.
**Bernard**: When I thought of this, a feeling of kindness came over me and I agreed to let him stay.
**Bernard**: But I had no idea that shadows would attack the altar that night...
**Bernard**: I sensed something was very wrong. I rushed as fast as I could to protect the old man.
**Bernard**: But he was besieged and I saw a shadow cut his throat.
**Bernard**: As he was dying, he kept crying...
**Bernard**: Save me. Save me...
**Bernard**: But there was nothing I could do.
**Bernard**: It's all my fault. If only I hadn't been so soft and had made him leave, this wouldn't have...
**Player**: It's not your fault.
**Bernard**: This scar on my stomach is from that day.
*If you chose Part 1, Choice A - continue to Part 3*
*If you chose Part 1, Choice B - Scene ends*

**-Choice B - You thought the mother and child were shadows? - 5 Intimacy**

**Bernard**: No. I've never been overly suspicious of anybody.
**Bernard**: I was more worried that they'd run into trouble before they'd be able to pray.
**Bernard**: However... something like this has happened before...
**Bernard**: One day, a weak young boy fell down near the altar.
**Bernard**: I helped him up and took him to the alter so he could heal up.
**Bernard**: I was just going to wait for his health to improve and then escort him out.
**Bernard**: I took a good look at him...
**Bernard**: He had delicate and refined features. He didn't look like a bad person.
**Bernard**: But he... took advantage of my generosity.
**Bernard**: The night I escorted him away, shadows attacked the altar...
**Bernard**: I tried to protect him as I was fighting off the shadows.
**Bernard**: I had no idea he would attack me from behind. It was then I knew he was a puppet of the shadows.
**Bernard**: It was a premeditated and coordinated attack.
**Bernard**: It's all my fault. If only I hadn't been so soft...
**Bernard**: The altar would not have been in danger.
**Player**: It's not your fault.
**Bernard**: Fortunately, I did everything I could to fight them off and they ran away.
**Bernard**: The scar on my back is from that day.
*If you chose Part 1, Choice A - continue to Part 3*
*If you chose Part 1, Choice B - Scene ends*

**-Part 3**

**Bernard**: The scars on my body are a constant reminder of a vow I once made:
**Bernard**: I will never again let anyone get into trouble by getting too close to the altar!
**Bernard**: Protect everyone! Protect the altar!

**-Choice A - Why didn't you explain that to the villagers? - 8 Intimacy**

**Player**: Let the villagers know that you're protecting them!
**Player**: They would thank you for it instead of verbally abusing you!
**Player**: That woman just now said a lot of nasty things!
**Player**: I was even getting angry for you!
**Bernard**: What use is getting angry?
**Bernard**: They would not understand.
**Player**: As long as I get them to leave and never approach the altar again, I've achieved my goal.
**Player**: You didn't even try to explain. How do you know...
**Bernard**: They wouldn't listen.
**Bernard**: Just like if you said to them...
**Bernard**: God won't hear your prayers. Would they believe you?
**Bernard**: They would just say you're profaning God.
**Bernard**: Therefore, why waste your breath?
**Player**: You don't think God can hear us?
**Bernard**: ... I have no idea.
**Bernard**: Lots of people pray every day that God will eliminate the shadows...
**Bernard**: To not let innocent people die anymore...
**Bernard**: But every day, people keep dying.
**Bernard**: Maybe God's too busy and he doesn't have the time to look after common people.
**Player**: Don't be so pessimistic!
**Player**: I believe there will be a day...
**Player**: That we will expel and purify the shadows and peace will come to this world!
**Bernard**: Ok!
*Scene ends*

**-Choice B - Then why are you letting me hang around? - 8 Intimacy**

**Player**: Are you letting me hang around here because you're not planning on protecting me?
**Bernard**: You look pretty sturdy and tough!
**Bernard**: You ought to be able to protect yourself!
**Player**: You... you're clearly the sturdy one here!
**Bernard**: Hahaha!
**Bernard**: You'd better leave the altar while you still can!
**Bernard**: It's not safe here!
**Player**: Safety first! I'm out of here!
**Player**: I'll come see you again soon!
*Scene ends*
