Hey, relax. You'll give yourself wrinkles. |

A Driver and Blade are one in body and soul. |
| 3 |
|
bf05270100_0030 |
82 |
It was you who told me that.
Well, the other you, I mean. |
| 4 |
|
bf05270100_0040 |
82 |
You mean Mythra? |
| 5 |
|
bf05270100_0050 |
82 |
Of course, it was five hundred years ago,
so perhaps you have forgotten. |
| 6 |
|
bf05270100_0060 |
82 |
(Oh! I do remember saying that!) |
| 7 |
|
bf05270100_0070 |
82 |
(So it's true?
But how could she possibly remember...) |
| 8 |
|
bf05270100_0080 |
82 |
...You're wondering how I could remember
words from so long ago? |
| 9 |
|
bf05270100_0090 |
82 |
What's this? |
| 10 |
|
bf05270100_0100 |
82 |
You could call it a diary, I suppose. |
| 11 |
|
bf05270100_0110 |
82 |
It contains details about my past lives.
It's the only way I have to remember. |
| 12 |
|

When we return to the Core Crystal, our minds are
wiped clean of all memories. |
| 13 |
|
bf05270100_0130 |
82 |
Though a Blade's life is eternal... |
| 14 |
|
bf05270100_0140 |
82 |
Our effective lifespans as individuals
are far shorter than a human's. |
| 15 |
|
bf05270100_0150 |
82 |
You know, it's not just me.
A lot of Blades try to preserve their memories in journals like this one. |
| 16 |
|
bf05270100_0160 |
82 |
...Even though it's often futile. |
| 17 |
|
bf05270100_0170 |
82 |
After all, a Core Crystal cannot protect a diary. |
| 18 |
|
bf05270100_0180 |
82 |
Usually, the volume is lost to us,
along with our memories. |
| 19 |
|
bf05270100_0190 |
82 |
I'm fortunate amongst Blades. I'm passed down as an
imperial treasure, and recorded in official chronicles. |
| 20 |
|
bf05270100_0200 |
82 |
Er, Brighid...? |
| 21 |
|
bf05270100_0210 |
82 |
I don't know where your true intentions lie.
I can only make an educated guess. |
| 22 |
|
bf05270100_0220 |
82 |
But Rex... He is your Driver. |
| 23 |
|
bf05270100_0230 |
82 |
If you truly trust him, I would
advise you tell him everything. |
| 24 |
|
bf05270100_0240 |
82 |
If you can't do that even for him... |
| 25 |
|
bf05270100_0250 |
82 |
You shouldn't be his Blade at all. |
| 26 |
|
bf05270100_0260 |
82 |
I just... |
| 27 |
|
bf05270100_0270 |
82 |
If you care about him, it's even more important. |
| 28 |
|
bf05270100_0280 |
82 |
I know what it's like to be afraid of rejection.
I really do. |
| 29 |
|
bf05270100_0290 |
82 |
But...if you don't tell him now... |
| 30 |
|
bf05270100_0300 |
82 |
...you're just storing up pain for later,
not making it easier. |
| 31 |
|
bf05270100_0310 |
82 |
The way you say that...
You really do see right through me. |
| 32 |
|
bf05270100_0320 |
82 |
Well. We go back a long way, as you recall. |
| 33 |
|
bf05270100_0330 |
82 |
And we're both Blades, after all. |
