Story transcript
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.
