Torben: It seems like Donar and Perun’s interviews are going well. That’s good.

Dietrich: Hello, Torben.

Torben: ...

Dietrich: I’m your interviewer for today.

Torben: ...

Torben: I’m leaving.

Dietrich: Hold on you can’t just leave like that! Look, I don’t want to do this either, but it’s required by the school, so let’s get this over with as fast as possible.

Torben: Fine. Make it quick.

Dietrich: Glad we at least agree on that. Happy Birthday, Torben. Here’s your gift.

Torben: These are... vials?

Dietrich: You’re in the Science Club, right? I assumed you were sharing supplies with the rest of the club for the most part, so I thought something useful like this would be best. I don’t really know anything else about you, so I couldn’t think of anything else you might enjoy.

Torben: No, this is good enough. I have actually been hoping to get some more potion bottles with my next paycheck, so this is very convenient. The glass is pretty good quality too. Thank you.

Dietrich: Wow, that’s slightly uncomfortable. Didn’t think I’d ever see the day where you’d thank me for anything.

Torben: I’m not so stubborn that I can’t admit when someone’s gotten me a good gift, even if I dislike them.

Dietrich: Good to know. I suppose I should have assumed that. Marsella wouldn’t hang out with anyone that wasn’t a good person at heart.

Torben: I don’t know about that. Mama hangs out with you, after all.

Dietrich: Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?

~ Happy Birthday (Part 2) ~

Dietrich: Here’s your first question. “If you could have anyone outside of your dorm as a sibling, who would you choose?”

Torben: Ah, well Donar and Perun are gret siblings already, but if I had to choose someone else to add to my siblings, maybe Jack?

Dietrich: Jack, huh? Kind of hard to imagine with the size difference between you two.

Torben: HEY! I’m still growing! I’ve already started building up muscle from my training with Lilia.

Dietrich: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Anyway, why Jack in particular? Like I said, it’s kinda hard to imagine.

Torben: Well, Donar and Jack are pretty good friends, being in the same club together and all, and they get along very well so I wouldn’t have to worry about him being friendly with my brothers. He also has his own siblings too, so I’d imagine he’s used to having a big family. All that aside too, I think he’d be a great work out partner.

Dietrich: Huh, well now that you mention all that, I guess Jack would be a pretty good sibling for you. Would give you a goal to work towards too with your training.

Torben: Right? That’s what I was thinking too! I gotta ask him about his routine next time I go on my morning jog with him and Donar.

~ Happy Birthday (Part 3) ~

Dietrich: Alright, the next question is “If you could choose another dorm to be in, which dorm would it be?” As the language of the question implies, you can’t choose the dorm you’ve already been sorted into.

Torben: Oh, that’s easy. I’d choose Diasomnia.

Dietrich: Why would you want to join Diasomnia? It’s not the most attractive or friendly dorm out there.

Torben: I mean, I’ve been doing some training with Vanrouge-senpai and Silver-senpai. So it would be nice to just wake up and begin training immediately instead of having to walk all the way from Octavinelle to Diasomnia.

Dietrich: Ugh, I don’t know how you can even stand to be near the Vanrouge man.

Torben: He’s a bit eccentric, but he’s helped me a lot building up my strength. I don’t really understand why you can’t get along with your dormmates.

Dietrich: It’s something you wouldn’t understand.

Torben: If you say so. Regardless though, I don’t think I would transfer to Diasomnia unless I was forced to. Octavinelle is a nice enough dorm and I get to stick with my brothers here.

Dietrich: I see. Good to know I won’t have to worry about seeing you around the dorm hallways on the regular.

...

Dietrich: And that was the last question. Thank the Great Seven it’s finally over.

Torben: Good. I’m leaving now.

Dietrich: Hold on! I still have one duty as your interviewer today. I’ve actually been looking forward to this part a lot.

Torben: Oh, the “Gift of Good Fortune,” right? Of course you would. Get it over with then. The faster you do the faster we can leave.

Dietrich: My pleasure. Alright, steel yourself, soldier! Happy Birthday, Torben!
