"What the blazes happened here?"
"You should turn back. Now! Before it affects you, too."
"What are you talking about?"
"Before what affects me?"
"Are you not going to come in, [name]?"
"You always did say you found it more a blessing than a curse."
"It would seem the others share your affliction now."
"You... You couldn't... You didn't-!"
"One day, [name], all of this will make sense."
"For now, I will leave you with my last shred of hope."
"Don't tell anyone about this, okay?"
"I'm so sorry to wake you. I wouldn't unless it was urgent."
"Then it's not so urgent that it cannot wait until sunrise. Goodbye."
"I really do apologize for waking you up, [name], but you need to listen to me."
"I don't need to listen to a word you have to say."
"Now isn’t it funny, how eventually your actions come back around like that?."
"That’s why I’m here. I was wrong.."
"You were wrong about what?"
"Just say it. We should have listened to you from the beginning."
"It’s not the time to rub it in."
"Though now that there’s two of us, maybe others will finally listen."
"Did you manage to kill the creature?"
"I didn’t dare approach it."
"I don't want to end up as a faded."
"If the woodland creatures are starting to get affected as well, then we need to act, and fast."
"You think he’ll listen?"
"We have to try. This is a matter of whether or not our people will survive the coming summers."
"Your reputation might take a dive after this."
"Let them speak. If they knew the dangers we’ll be facing soon, their lips would swiftly shut."
"Their tongues have not been stilled yet, despite my continuous warnings."
"There has been plenty of signs, you’ve just all chosen to close your eyes to them."
"Maybe we’re too scared to see it because… well, because of what it means, you know?"
"So, it’s better to wait to acknowledge it until it is too late, is that what you’re saying?"
"I’m saying it’s not that simple."
"I wanted to believe that there was nothing to worry about, that we could continue to live carefree like we always have."
"And so maybe I decided to be wilfully ignorant. And maybe… that was a mistake on my part."
"I guess what I’m trying to say is, none of us are free of fault."
"If you want people to listen, perhaps try a bit more to see things from their perspective."
"To them, you are practically telling them that we’re all going to die."
"That’s precisely the thing I am trying to prevent."
"To them, you are disrupting their feelings of safety."
"I guess I never thought of it that way."
"I’m not trying to say you’re wrong."
"How we’ve all treated you has been vastly unfair to you."
"You didn’t deserve that, and you have taken it in stride."
"I'm sorry for my part in it."
"You don’t have to forgive me, but I hope I can make it up to you."
"There has been, uh… a miscalculation."
