Introduction
Melia: ...
Shulk: Something bothering you, Melia?
Melia: Forgive me, Shulk. I’m not myself today.
Gain (+8)
Shulk: [What’s wrong?]
Melia: ... It happened before I met you. In this spot, my four protectors laid down their lives for me.
Shulk: Really? I didn’t know... Was it when you fought the Telethia?
Melia: Yes. Until that day, the four of them accompanied me everywhere. They were true friends to me. I grieve for them deeply...
Shulk: [They sound like great people.]
Melia: They were indeed. I have spent the bulk of my life hidden away in the Imperial Villa. They took care of me for all that time.
Shulk: You must have been close. It’s sad to lose people like that.
Melia: Shulk, will you help me? I want to give them a proper sending off.
Shulk: Of course. We’ll do it together, you and me.
Melia: Thank you, Shulk. My fallen brethren, I promise to live my life to the fullest. Look over me as I journey on.

Melia: Yes. Until that day, the four of them accompanied me everywhere. They were true friends to me. I grieve for them deeply....
Shulk: [I bet you got on their nerves.]
Melia: How can you say such a thing?! I was the perfect companion.
Shulk: Haha. I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. I forgot you’re way more grown up than someone like me.
Melia: You think I’m grown up? It is possible I troubled them by acting beyond my years. I found it hard hidden away in that stuffy Imperial Villa.
Shulk: Cooped up in there? I can imagine. But I’m sure they cared for you deeply, Melia. Don’t feel bad.
Melia: I know they did. And their sacrifice to save me will not be forgotten. That I promise. I shall remember them forever.

Shulk: [That’s OK. Hey, look at this!] Check out this massive plant. The flora in this region really are something else. The people back home will never believe the stories!
Melia: They are... quite amazing, yes.
Shulk: Sorry, Melia. I guess you find this stuff kind of boring.
Melia: It’s not that. Really, it isn’t. In fact, I think I feel a little better already listening to you.
Shulk: [Are you OK? I’m worried...] You can talk to me. If you want to, I mean.
Melia: ... All right. Before we all met, it was at this spot that I lost four of my brethren.
Shulk: Oh... I didn’t realise. It was that Telethia, right?
Melia: Yes. The four men had been my shield since I was a little girl. They were kind and considerate... and my friends. How I miss them...
Shulk: It sounds like you were close. Fighting for your life was a part of who they were, though.
Melia: Yes. I know that now. But I shall never forget their sacrifice. It will stay with me for as long as I live.

Shulk: [Oh, good! You do like plants!]
Melia: Erm... I have to say, that’s not exactly what I meant.
Shulk: Well... if you say so.
Melia: Hmph... You’re not going to ask me what is wrong?
Shulk: If you’ve cheered up, then I guess I don’t need to know. Besides... I’m not too good at knowing when to ask and when to keep quiet.
Melia: Haha! I can tell. But it’s all right. You’ve turned the gloomy cloud over my head into sunshine. Just being here with you is enough for me. Thank you.
