Moonlit Library of the Crimson Quill

Dimitri

(This place wasn't here yesterday... and these books... they're writing my memories.)

Byleth

The ink... it's using our blood.

Dimitri

These aren't just memories... they're futures we haven't lived yet.

Byleth

(If I can just... tear out this page before it finishes writing...)

Dimitri

Don't! The last person who tried to destroy a book... their name disappeared from every record.

Byleth

(My reflection... it's showing me dying of old age... in the next chapter...)

Dimitri

The library needs a new author... and you've just volunteered.

Dimitri

(The words aren't mine... but my hand moves anyway...)

Byleth

(That rhythm... it's my pulse... but slower... like it's being written out...)

Dimitri

Byleth... your heart... it's spelling out my death...

Byleth

Then let it write mine instead!

Dimitri

(The ink... it's changing... rewriting the future...)

Byleth

Dimitri... the book... it's showing both our hearts stopping at the same moment...

Dimitri

Then let's give it a better story to write.

Byleth

(If we're bound by fate... let's write the ending ourselves...)

Byleth

(The book... it's empty. Where did Dimitri's story go?)

Dimitri

The library... it chose me. My story ends where yours continues.

Byleth

Then take me too! We can rewrite this together!

Dimitri

Every story needs a witness... and you're the only one who remembers me.

Byleth

(If I write fast enough... if I use my own blood... the ink will bind us both...)

Dimitri

Close the book, Byleth. When the next full moon rises... read my name aloud. I'll find my way back to you.

Byleth

(Every full moon... I'll be here. Waiting. Writing. Until the library gives you back.)

Byleth

The library's gone... but the book is warm. Like a heartbeat.
