Fern

The advanced barrier techniques require precise mana control.

Fern

We should practice these formations before the next exam.

Ubel

(I can't concentrate with her sitting so close.)

Fern

Ubel, you seem distracted tonight.

Fern

Is something troubling you?

Ubel

Fern, I need to tell you something.

Ubel

I've been trying to find the right words for weeks.

Ubel

I love you, Fern.

Ubel

Not as a friend or study partner, but truly love you.

Fern

(She... she loves me?)

Fern

I thought I was imagining the way my heart races when you're near.

Fern

Ubel, I love you too.

Ubel

I was so afraid you'd think I was crazy.

Fern

We should probably focus on our studies now.

Fern

Though I doubt either of us will concentrate much tonight.

Fern

Wait, something's wrong with this spell formula!

Fern

The mana signature is completely unstable!

Fern

(The curse... it's draining everything...)

Ubel

Fern! Stay with me, please!

Ubel

I can't lose you, not now, not after we just found each other!

Fern

Ubel... I'm so sorry...

Fern

Take care of yourself...

Ubel

No! I won't let you go!

Ubel

There has to be something I can do!

Ubel

(This pain... it's consuming everything I am...)

Ubel

(I am drowning in sorrow, becoming one with the depths of my grief...)

Ubel

(Perhaps in this form, I can carry her memory through the endless ocean of time...)
