“Dorothea…thank you.” Mina says. She stares down at the shawl, as though it were the greatest treasure in all of Fodlan. She looks to be on the verge of tears.
>Manuela’s Shawl obtained! (+25 SPD/LCK, +15 HP. Dancer’s Only)The two bid each other farewell, Mina still clutching the shawl tightly as she returns to the barracks. You’re now left alone with your old roommate.
>“Dorothea. Thank you. You didn’t need to go out of your way like that.”“It’s fine! She’s a sweet kid, and it seems like she’s had it pretty rough. I know what that’s like. She’s fortunate to have someone like you looking out for her.”
>“…I came to tell you that I’m leaving. We…have another mission and are heading back to Leicester tomorrow. I wanted to say goodbye.”Dorothea sighs. “I figured as much. I’d have loved for you to come with the Professor and us. But…you’ve got your own life to live. And your own things that you need to do. I won’t press you for the details. I know that if it’s what you’ve set your mind to, it’s the right thing. Just promise me you’ll stay alive. I don’t want to lose any more people that I care about to this senseless war. Please, Blair.”
>“I promise.” The first time you left Dorothea without saying anything, you felt terrible about it for years. But somehow, saying goodbye now hurts just as bad. “Here, I have something I’ve been meaning to give you. I guess I’m just full of generosity today.” She reaches into her pocket and retrieves a small piece of metal. Looking at it closely, it appears to be a key, albeit one that is somewhat scorched and blackened. “Do you know what this is?”
>“Is that…my key? The one to our old dorm room? Where did you find that?!”“It was in the burned-out ruins of our old room. When I went to go check it out, I saw it glistening in the corner of my eye. Somehow it didn’t melt in the blaze. I took that as a sign that maybe you were okay. I’ve been holding onto it ever since. Obviously, it won’t be opening anything anymore, but I still have my old key too. Maybe this way, no matter where we go, we’ll still have some sort of connection.”
>Old Key obtained! (Luck +2 Permanently)In this moment, you are feeling:
>A): Happy, that you’ve been blessed with great friends>B): Sad, that you’re forced to depart so suddenly>C): Determined, to see things through to the end and destroy the Agarthans>D): Write-in
