Dialogue

Accepting the quest:

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. [Forename], I ask that you look to the south.

Yugiri: Surely they cannot all have given in to despair...

Rescuing Azami:

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?

Bringing yellow flowers to Azami:

Azami: Only yellow ones will do. Mother wouldn't have wanted anything else...

Azami: Ah! You found some! Thank you so much, miss. 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 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!

Speaking with Azami:

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?

???: 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! [He/She] saved me from monsters, Brother─[he/she] 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!

Q: What will you say?

A1: Is that really what you want?
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!

A2: She said your parents were buried here...
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.

Speaking with Yugiri:

Yugiri: You are come at a good time, [Forename]. 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...
