- Corrin:
- Hello, Ryoma. I have a favor to ask of you.▼
- Ryoma:
- Certainly. How can I help?▼
- Corrin:
- Well, I don't have many memories from
- before I was taken to Nohr.▼
- I was just wondering if you had any that
- you wouldn't mind sharing with me...▼
- Ryoma:
- Hmm. Yes, I suppose I do. They're not
- all happy, I'm afraid.▼
- Corrin:
- That's OK. I just feel as though there's
- a...void...in my mind.▼
- I'd like to hear a little bit about what it
- was like growing up in Hoshido.▼
- And stories about the whole family...
- Hinoka, Takumi, Azura, and Sakura.▼
- Ryoma:
- Very well.▼
- I anticipated this day would come, actually.
- And I have something for you.▼
- Corrin:
- Oh? What is it?▼
- Ryoma:
- I think I'll hang on to it for a little
- while longer.▼
- It will hold more meaning if I give it
- to you later.▼
- Corrin:
- All right. I suppose I can be patient.▼
- Ryoma:
- I'm glad to hear it.▼
- Because our conversation will also have
- to wait, I'm afraid.▼
- I have something I must attend to shortly.▼
- Corrin:
- I understand. Thank you, Ryoma. Let's
- chat again soon.▼
- B Support:
- Corrin:
- Good day, Ryoma. Would now be a good
- time to chat?▼
- Ryoma:
- Ah, Corrin. Yes, I suppose I have
- some time right now.▼
- But where to begin? Hmm...▼
- Ah! Perhaps I could start with the siblings.
- Like little Hinoka...the crybaby.▼
- Corrin:
- Hinoka...a crybaby? I can't see it.▼
- Ryoma:
- Yes, well, she has matured tremendously.
- Now she's an excellent model soldier.▼
- Takumi, on the other hand...has not
- reached the same level of maturity.▼
- Corrin:
- But Takumi seems so strong
- and self-assured.▼
- Ryoma:
- Perhaps, but remember that very hard
- substances are often brittle.▼
- Takumi's emotions are fragile. He needs
- to work on his mental fortitude.▼
- That said, I believe in him. I think he
- has a promising future ahead.▼
- Corrin:
- I see.▼
- Ryoma:
- As for Azura, she's always been a bit
- distant. Even as a child.▼
- She's kind and wise, but I wish she
- knew how to open up a little bit.▼
- Corrin:
- It's fascinating to hear your perspective
- like this. Please, continue!▼
- Ryoma:
- Certainly. Let's see, where was I...▼
- Ah, Sakura. She's a gentle soul. Always
- worrying about others.▼
- My hope for her is that she can learn to be
- a bit more selfish. It would serve her well.▼
- Corrin:
- Thank you, Ryoma. I really appreciate
- your insights.▼
- I think it's wonderful that you've spent so
- much time thinking about your family.▼
- Ryoma:
- Well, as the eldest, I suppose I feel a
- certain responsibility.▼
- And, of course, I spend a great deal of
- time in self-reflection.▼
- I'm not without my faults.▼
- Corrin:
- Well, you're human. Nobody's perfect.▼
- But you are a wise and caring older
- brother, Ryoma. Everyone looks up to you.▼
- Ryoma:
- Thank you, Corrin. That means a
- lot coming from you.▼
- Corrin:
- I just wish I knew more about my
- own background.▼
- Ryoma:
- Yes. Your story is a troubling one.▼
- I hope that I can help you put a few of
- the pieces together.▼
- But I'm afraid even I don't know nearly
- the whole of it.▼
- Corrin:
- Thank you, Ryoma. I really appreciate it.▼
- Ryoma:
- Anytime, Corrin.▼
- A Support:
- Ryoma:
- Hello, Corrin. I've noticed that you
- seem a bit down lately.▼
- Is anything the matter?▼
- Corrin:
- Hmm? No, I'm fine. Why do you ask?▼
- Ryoma:
- Are you sure? You can confide in me.▼
- You seemed a bit...forlorn...when we
- last spoke.▼
- Corrin:
- Well, if I'm being totally honest...▼
- I have truly enjoyed hearing your stories
- about the past.▼
- But they've also made me sad. I feel like
- I've missed out on so much.▼
- Ryoma:
- So that's what's weighing you down.▼
- It's important to remember that we can't
- change the past.▼
- We can only try to shape our future.▼
- So, if you don't have any memories, you
- just have to make new ones.▼
- And we're all here together now.▼
- Corrin:
- Thank you, Ryoma. Those are wise words.▼
- Ryoma:
- You're welcome. And here's something else
- that may cheer you up.▼
- Remember how I said I had something
- for you?▼
- Well, I think the time is right. This is from
- all of us.▼
- Corrin:
- Whoa. That's quite a ring.▼
- Ryoma:
- Indeed. The four of us had it made for
- you a long time ago.▼
- We vowed to give it to you upon our
- eventual reunion.▼
- And here you are, safely returned to us.▼
- Corrin:
- Ryoma... I'm so glad to be a part of this
- family. Thank you!▼
- Ryoma:
- And we are happy to have you.▼
- Our ties can only grow stronger as
- we move forward!▼

- Corrin:
- Hello, Ryoma! Do you have a few minutes
- to spare today?▼
- Ryoma:
- Of course. I always have time for you.
- What's on your mind?▼
- Corrin:
- Well, I just keep thinking about this ring.
- It's kind of like...my first family heirloom.▼
- Ryoma:
- Er, y-yes. I suppose it is.▼
- Corrin:
- Is something the matter?▼
- Ryoma:
- A family heirloom? Ah...y-yes...er...▼
- No. I am sorry, Corrin. There is
- something I must tell you.▼
- Father...Queen Mikoto...please forgive me.▼
- Corrin:
- Ryoma?▼
- Ryoma:
- I owe you an apology. I have not been
- honest with you. Nor with the others.▼
- The truth is...I am not your brother.▼
- Corrin:
- What do you mean?▼
- Ryoma:
- Exactly what I said. You and I are not
- related by blood.▼
- Corrin:
- How can this be?▼
- Ryoma:
- My father, King Sumeragi, told me, and me
- alone, the truth of your birth.▼
- You see, many years ago, Queen Mikoto
- came to Hoshido, asking my father for help.▼
- With her was an infant she had given birth
- to in her homeland.▼
- That infant was you, Corrin. King
- Sumeragi knew you were not his child.▼
- But because you were the child of the
- woman he loved, he raised you as his own.▼
- And it was not long before obligation
- turned into a deep and abiding love.▼
- You meant as much to him as any of us did.
- I promise you.▼
- Corrin:
- So...he took care of me—died protecting
- me—knowing I was another man's child?▼
- Then...he WAS my father. Whatever my
- blood.▼
- But then the question remains. Who was
- my birth father?▼
- Ryoma:
- I don't know. King Sumeragi never shared
- that detail with me.▼
- I'm not certain even he knew.▼
- Corrin:
- I see...▼
- Ryoma:
- I am sorry I kept it secret for so long, but
- I felt I had to. It was what Father wanted.▼
- He'd never have wanted you to feel like
- he loved you any less than he did us.▼
- Corrin:
- So then why are you telling me this now?
- What changed?▼
- Ryoma:
- I fell in love with you.▼
- Corrin:
- Ryoma!▼
- Ryoma:
- I could not lie to myself any longer,
- Corrin.▼
- I want to be the one to stand by your side
- for the rest of your life.▼
- I could not live without you. You are the
- only woman I have ever loved like this.▼
- Corrin:
- I-I see. Are you ready to hear my answer?▼
- Ryoma:
- Yes. I am prepared.▼
- Corrin:
- I admire you tremendously. You are a strong
- and kind man and a natural leader.▼
- You will make a great king and will rule
- as wisely as your father. I know it.▼
- And...I want to be with you while you do it.
- As your queen. As your wife.▼
- I love you too, Ryoma.▼
- Ryoma:
- I am glad. You have made me so happy.
- My heart sings with joy.▼
- Corrin:
- You are the most precious person in the
- world to me.▼
- Please, stay with me. Forever.▼
- Ryoma:
- I will, my love. I promise it.▼
