no hero is mortal until he dies

I mean, I know my name isn’t Japanese, but it’s not quite American, either…

Ah? Dakota is a popular name in America! I don't believe I've ever heard of someone having the last name of "Allaway", though.

"Yes, I have. 5 months, if my memory serves me. Feel free to ask me any questions or for directions any time. Most of the teachers here know me well by now. So, then, the inevitable question: what’s your talent, miss?"

Lovely, I'll be sure to keep you in mind, Genpachi.  I apologize! I'm SHSL Fencer, although I'm not very popular-- Unless, you were actually interested in the sport. What talent are you known by, civilian?

U-Uh… My name? Right, it’s— I’m Dakota. Dakota Allaway.

Ah! Dakota Allaway, is it? Not to pry, but are you foreign? Specifically, are you from America?

"Serenity is a lovely name. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, my name is Genpachi. Are you new here…?"

Thank you, ally. It's a pleasure to meet you, Genpachi! And yes, I am quite new to... Hope's Peak, yes? I arrived a few weeks ago. I take it that you've been here for quite some time?
