Mauvier: …
Gregory: …
Mauvier: You are…Gregory.
Gregory: Yeah.
Mauvier: We have a duty. These weapons will not maintain themselves.
Gregory: Right, right…
Mauvier: Your disposition is as lax as that of your counterpart from this world.
Mauvier: You perform well in battle, but whether you can be trusted remains an open question.
Mauvier: Perhaps I make you uncomfortable. You are free to go in that case─only one of us need remain.
Gregory: No! I don’t want to go and leave you here all by yourself. To work, I mean.
Mauvier: Hm.
Gregory: Uh, s-sorry. In any case… Yeah, I want to stay.
Mauvier: This is going nowhere. Your motives are a complete mystery.
Mauvier: If we are to make progress, we must have an open discourse.
Gregory: Discourse?
Mauvier: We should begin with an exchange of facts so we both have the same information.
Gregory: Wait… Mauvier, are you saying you actually want to talk to me?
Mauvier: Do you object?
Gregory: …
Gregory: …
Mauvier: You seem distressed.
Gregory: Distressed? No. I…I wanted to talk to you too. But I was scared that you hadn’t forgiven me!
Gregory: Since I’d abandoned you, I didn’t think I could show my face. I’m so sorry…
Mauvier: I cannot say that I understand, but I do hear you at least.
Gregory: Mauvier… I’ll never leave you alone again, I promise. I’ll always be by your side!
Mauvier: This is going to be challenging…

Gregory: Say, Mauvier?
Gregory: Even though we’re talking, I…don’t really feel like you trust me.
Mauvier: If that is so, it is unintentional on my part.
Gregory: Oh, OK. Well, I still thought you should know that I took over for Mauvier─in my old world.
Gregory: That’s how much you trusted me. I mean, not you, but the you back there.
Mauvier: I believe you. And you do seem like someone I could potentially trust with my life.
Gregory: What was the me in this world like? You were in the Four Hounds together, right?
Mauvier: Are you sure you want to know?
Gregory: Well, yeah. I mean, it’s a little unfair to know nothing about him. I told you about my Mauvier.
Mauvier: Yes, you did. With a great deal of emotion.
Mauvier: Very well, if you insist. But I warn you, the tale is not a pleasant one. You should steel yourself.
Gregory: If you’re trying to scare me…
Mauvier: What I am about to say has not been confirmed directly by him, but it is the truth as I know it.
Mauvier: Your counterpart, abandoned by his parents, was taken in by a church of the Fell Dragon.
Gregory: OK… So far, same as me…
Mauvier: Unlike you, he discovered early on that he enjoyed pain. Receiving and inflicting.
Mauvier: Rumors suggest he considered his own pain to be spiritual─an offering to the Fell Dragon.
Mauvier: It was that fanaticism that earned him Zephia’s attention and an invitation to the Four Hounds.
Mauvier: In those days, I hear he was almost incapable of ordinary conversation. A complete pariah.
Gregory: I-I can see why! Who would want to be friends with someone who liked pain?
Gregory: What about the Four Hounds? How did they get along?
Mauvier: Not well. Our tenuous bonds were shattered by the death of one person.
Gregory: The death of one person… Was it me? Or Zelestia? Madeline?
Mauvier: …
Mauvier: Marni, this world’s Madeline, was killed by your and Zelestia’s counterparts.
Gregory: What?
Mauvier: They called her death a waste. They laughed over it. I could not forgive them, so I defected.
Mauvier: When I look at you, I see his face. Perhaps that is why I have been unable to trust you fully.
Gregory: I can’t blame you. If he did something that horrible… Well, I understand your attitude now.
Gregory: Sorry, I’ll stop bothering you. Thanks, um… Thanks for talking to me.
Mauvier: …

Mauvier: Are you all right? You seem distraught.
Gregory: Nope. I’m fine. Everything’s fine.
Mauvier: It is only natural to be upset by my recounting of those events.
Mauvier: If it was more than you could bear, allow me to apologize. I should be more considerate.
Gregory: It’s fine. Really. I was the one who asked.
Gregory: If he did all that… Well, I wouldn’t trust me either.
Mauvier: Circumstances have changed. I know now that you are not capable of doing the things he did.
Gregory: Obviously! I’m not that kind of guy.
Gregory: I’d never kill an ally, and I…I wouldn’t abandon one to fend for themselves either!
Mauvier: I believe you. I am certain you would risk mortal peril to protect your friends.
Mauvier: For that, you have earned my trust.
Gregory: Oh, really? Heh, you don’t know what it means to finally hear that.
Gregory: Thanks for believing in me, Mauvier.
Mauvier: Huh?
Gregory: What? I say thank you, and you just stand there staring at me like that.
Mauvier: Your thanks caught me off guard.
Mauvier: It made me realize that, in all the years I knew Griss, he never once thanked me. For anything.
Gregory: ‘Cause we’re not the same person.
Gregory: I mean…the “me” of this world sounds like a huge weirdo, to put it lightly.
Mauvier: Ha, indeed.
Gregory: …
Mauvier: What is it?
Gregory: Oh, nothing. I was just thinking, I’d never heard Mauvier laugh before.
Mauvier: Perhaps. But as you rightly pointed out, we are not the same person.
Gregory: Heh, exactly. Even if we do look like them at times.
Gregory: We’re still just us. Let’s keep up the good work, Mauvier.
Mauvier: Agreed.
