 * Avatar: Hello, Sakura. How's it going?
 * Sakura: Um, OK... I'm f-fine. I guess.
 * Avatar: You don't seem too sure about that. Are you feeling unwell?
 * Sakura: Huh? No! I'm in perfect health.
 * Avatar: Oh, I see. Then...um, do you just not like me all that much?
 * Sakura: What?! That's not true! How could anyone dislike you, Avatar?
 * Avatar: Every time I try to talk to you, you always seem upset.
 * Sakura: I'm sorry! That's m-my fault. I'm terrible around people!
 * Avatar: Sakura...is there anything I can do to help? If that's really what's bothering you, maybe you could practice talking to me.
 * Sakura: D-do you think that would work?
 * Avatar: I do. In fact, I'll prove it to you!

B Support

 * Avatar: Sakura, are you ready to start our conversation practice?
 * Sakura: Y-y-yes!
 * Avatar: Then, let's begin. *ahem* Sakura, how old were you when you knew you wanted to be a healer?
 * Sakura: Uh...I d-don't know...
 * Avatar: Did you do any special training or studying to become a healer?
 * Sakura: Uh, I mean, I guess... I d-don't know!
 * Avatar: Sakura... Try to calm yourself. Just calmly answer my questions, OK?
 * Sakura: I'm sorry, Avatar! I just get so n-nervous all the time...
 * Avatar: No need to apologize. Besides, I think I've figured out what the problem is... You let other people intimidate you. Do you have any idea how that started?
 * Sakura: I d-don't know.
 * Avatar: *sigh* I see.
 * Sakura: I'm sorry... Thanks for trying to help me anyway...
 * Avatar: Haha, sweet Sakura. One of these days I'll get you to stop apologizing!

A Support

 * Sakura: Avatar... Do you have a minute?
 * Avatar: Of course. What do you need?
 * Sakura: I didn't tell you this the other day, because I didn't want to hurt your feelings... But I think I know the reason I'm so anxious all the time.
 * Avatar: You do? Please, go on!
 * Sakura:W-well...I was really little when you were kidnapped and taken to Nohr... One day, I overheard some maids talking, and they said that Nohr wasn't after YOU. They had originally planned to kidnap me!
 * Avatar: What?!
 * Sakura: I know! Later, I realized it was probably just a r-rumor...but I still felt terrible. It was all my fault that my brother got kidnapped!
 * Avatar: But that's not true! You poor thing... None of this was your fault!
 * Sakura: You're really kind to say that, Avatar. I still worry that you'll l-leave us again.
 * Avatar: Don't worry, Sakura. I'm not going anywhere. I'll always protect you.
 * Sakura: Thank you, Avatar. It's easier to be brave now that we're together again.

 * Sakura: Avatar, do you have a m-moment?
 * Avatar: Sakura, you look upset... You're not dwelling on the past again, are you?
 * Sakura: Actually, I am.
 * Avatar: I understand. Those memories aren't happy ones. It will take time to heal.
 * Sakura: Th-that's not what I'm thinking about! After you were kidnapped, there wasn't a single day that I didn't think of you. I always tried to imagine where you were... what kind of person you were becoming... Maybe you were warm and kindhearted. Maybe you were thinking of me...
 * Avatar: Sakura...
 * Sakura: I dreamt about you too. In my dreams, I'd find you again, and we'd be so happy!
 * Avatar: Did I meet your expectations?
 * Sakura: You were more than I'd hoped for! From the moment you returned, I loved you instantly. Just...n-not as my brother.
 * Avatar: Huh?! What are you saying?
 * Sakura: The real reason I found it so hard to talk to you at first is because...I love you! I mean—look at me now! I've told you how I feel, and I still can't stop talking.
 * Avatar: Sakura... I appreciate your feelings, but we...
 * Sakura: I know what you're going to say. That we're half-siblings. But...what if we weren't?
 * Avatar: What do you mean?
 * Sakura: After you returned to Hoshido, Mother gave me a letter. She said I should read it if I ever started worrying about the one I loved. At the time, I didn't understand, but... Mother had almost prophetic powers. She must have known how I felt.
 * Avatar: What did the letter say?
 * Sakura:It was sh-shocking! It said that we're not blood related...not even a tiny bit.
 * Avatar: But you and Ryoma and the others... you're all King Sumeragi's children...
 * Sakura: That's right...but you're not his son. Your mother, Queen Mikoto, came to Hoshido to ask my father for help. She brought along a baby—you. My father knew you weren't his son... but he loved Queen Mikoto, so he raised you as his own. He really did love you.
 * Avatar: King Sumeragi...must have cared for me a lot to raise me as his own. But if it's not him, then...who is my real father?
 * Sakura: I'm sorry, but Mother didn't say anything about that in her letter.
 * Avatar: Oh...
 * Sakura: I'm s-sorry. It was selfish of me to tell you all this for my own benefit.
 * Avatar: Don't apologize, Sakura. I'm relieved to learn the truth. As shocking as it is to find out we're not blood related, it makes me happy.
 * Sakura: It d-does?
 * Avatar: It does. After all...I love you too. Why do you think I offered to help you with conversation practice? It was just an excuse to spend more time with you.
 * Sakura: Oh, Avatar! I'm so h-happy!
 * Avatar: Since we're not siblings, we shouldn't hide our feelings anymore. It may be hard, but we'll cross that bridge together. I promise to protect you.
 * Sakura: Oh! Then I...I promise to protect you too! Just swear you'll never leave me again.
 * Avatar: I swear, I won't ever leave your side.
 * Sakura: I've never felt this way before. My heart is beating so fast! I'm yours forever.

 * Avatar: Sakura, how's it going?
 * Sakura: Um, OK... I'm fine. I guess.
 * Avatar: You don't seem too sure about that. Are you coming down with something?
 * Sakura: Huh? No! I'm in perfect health.
 * Avatar: Oh, I get it. ...You just don't like me.
 * Sakura: What?! That's not true! How could anyone dislike you, Avatar?
 * Avatar: I'm sorry. Every time I try to talk to you, you always look upset.

 * Avatar: Are there any special programs for healers in Hoshido?
 * Sakura: Uh, I'm not really sure...
 * Avatar: Psst...Sakura, you're supposed to add to the conversation if you can, OK?
 * Sakura: I'm sorry, Avatar! I just get all tongue tied...
 * Avatar: You don't have to apologize so much! I think I know what the problem is...you let other people intimidate you. Do you have any idea how that started?
 * Sakura: I...d-don't know.
 * Avatar: *sigh* I see.
 * Sakura: I'm sorry...thanks for trying to help me anyway...
 * Avatar: Sakura, seriously - stop apologizing! I'd do anything for my little sis.

 * Sakura: Azura, I was just thinking. I haven’t heard you tell a story in a long t-time.
 * Azura: You’re right. With this war going on, we’ve hardly had time to chat. Do you really miss my spooky stories? I’m surprised! I guess you liked them after all.
 * Sakura: No, I didn’t like them! They were terrifying! It’s just that once you started a story, I couldn’t sleep until I knew what happened!
 * Azura: You know, some people actually enjoy being scared.
 * Sakura: Not me! I just like spending time with you and staying up past my b-bedtime!
 * Azura: I still remember. Your eyes were as wide as saucers. You’d be shaking like a leaf! But still, you’d plead with me to keep going. You had to know the end!
 * Sakura: Well, I was really little then. Don’t tell people I was a big scaredy-cat!
 * Azura: Haha, you have my word.

B Support

 * Azura: Hello, Sakura. Are you here for another spooky tale?
 * Sakura: No! I'm still haunted by the last scary story you told me!
 * Azura: Which one was that?
 * Sakura: The one about the m-monster in the Nohrian castle.
 * Azura: Oh, that one WAS good! I remember now. I overheard that one from a few of the servants... Hanging in the castle was the portrait of a middle-aged man. At night, he'd sneak out of the painting and steal the maids right from their beds!
 * Sakura: NO! Stop! I d-don't need to hear it again!
 * Azura: Heehee. I'm not sure I told you the ending to that one... On a moonless night, a maid heard footsteps coming from a dark hallway. Everyone else was asleep, so where do you think those sounds were coming from?
 * Sakura: I don't know... Where?
 * Azura: She was too scared to look, so she hurried off to bed. The maid couldn't sleep a wink! When morning came, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and headed to work... Except everyone in the castle was acting odd and speaking in hushed whispers. Then, when they rounded up the maids, half of them had vanished!
 * Sakura: Wha?!
 * Azura: The maid asked around, "Where are the other girls?" "If they overslept, they're going to be in trouble!"
 * Sakura: Wh-What did the servants tell her?!
 * Azura: They said, "What maids? We've never heard of them before..."
 * Sakura: Huh?!
 * Azura: The poor maid searched the entire castle. but she couldn't find a sign of them. The maids' rooms were completely empty- as if they'd never existed! Then she remembered the painting, and she knew. It was him! He'd come for them!
 * Sakura: AHHHH!
 * Azura: The maid wondered why she'd been spared. Was he coming back for her?
 * Sakura: Ahhhh! I asked you to stop! It's too scary. It's TOO scary! Thanks to you, I'm going to have nightmares for a m-month!
 * Azura: Sakura, if you're scared, you can sleep in my room...just like old times.
 * Sakura: But I'm too old to be afraid of the dark!
 * Azura: Haha, are you sure about that?

A Support

 * Azura: Sakura, is something wrong? You look distraught.
 * Sakura: Telling me the scary story was fun for you, w-wasn't it?
 * Azura: Well, the fun part for me was watching your reaction, but I'm sorry if I upset you.
 * Sakura: You know, when we were younger, people used to gossip about you. They said you were cold and aloof. I know it must have hurt your feelings.
 * Azura: Sakura-
 * Sakura: I wanted to tell them they were wrong. They didn't know the real you. That you smiled and laughed and were really a w-wonderful sister! I should have stood up for you, but I didn't! Now I feel terrible.
 * Azura: That's very sweet of you, Sakura, but you shouldn't worry. That was a long time ago.
 * Sakura: I should have told people about all of your good, kind qualities... But I was too shy and scared to speak up. I'm the worst sister ever!
 * Azura: That's not true! I should be the one apologizing. I can be standoffish. However, I never knew it affected you this way. I'll try harder for your sake.
 * Sakura: You w-will?
 * Azura: Yes. but I want you to try harder as well. I want you to have the courage to talk to people, OK? Let's support each other.
 * Sakura: Of course! I'll do my best!
 * Azura: Thank you, Sakura. I'm very lucky to have you as my sister.

 * Jakob: Lady Sakura, are you feeling ill? You look less radiant than usual.
 * Sakura: ...Do I? I'm sorry.
 * Jakob: Were you taking care of the wounded again, milady?
 * Sakura: Yes, h-how did you know?
 * Jakob: No one has a kinder heart that you... But if you tend to everyone but yourself, you'll only wear yourself out.
 * Sakura: Jakob, these people are hurting...because of us!
 * Jakob: Even if that's the case, you cannot solve everything on your own.
 * Sakura: If I don't do something...th-then who will?! *gasp* I'm sorry...that was very rude of me!
 * Jakob: No, I was the one who spoke out of turn.
 * Sakura: You know...I think you're right. I am feeling a little tried after all. Excuse me...

B Support

 * Jakob: Lady Sakura, where you tending to the wounded again?
 * Sakura: Yes, I was...
 * Jakob: You are a gifted healer with a tender heart, but—
 * Sakura: I know wh-what you're about to say...
 * Jakob: It will be a waste of your skills if you wear yourself out and ignore your own health.
 * Sakura: B-but....as a p-princess...it is my duty to look after our people.
 * Jakob: Milady, please forgive me for what I'm about to say... But you cannot heal everyone no matter how hard you try.
 * Sakura: I-I know... Even if I heal them, I can't save them.
 * Jakob: I'm glad you realize that.
 * Sakura: The truth is...I'm just selfish! I feel guilty every time I see someone in pain. I pretend I'm doing all this for the people, but I'm just doing it to ease my guilt.
 * Jakob: You shouldn't be so hard o yourself.
 * Sakura: If you'll excuse me...I'd like to be alone.

A Support

 * Jakob: Did I find you studying, milady?
 * Sakura: O-oh, it got late, didn't it? I've been poring over these books... Jakob, I have to find a way to get stronger!
 * Jakob: Stronger?
 * Sakura: As the war stretches on, the casualties keep rising... I must help them!
 * Jakob: Who are you trying to help—your siblings, the soldiers, every last citizen of Hoshido?
 * Sakura: I want to help everyone! I know it will be difficult..but I can't bear all the suffering!
 * Jakob: Milady, even a skilled healer like yourself cannot save everyone. If you continue to try—studying around the clock—you'll only work yourself to death. Help some. Help as many as you can, but stop trying to help everyone.
 * Sakura: B-but it has to be everyone! How could I pick and choose?
 * Jakob: I should have chosen my words more carefully. I'm sorry I upset you.
 * Sakura: No, forgive me. I shouldn't have yelled like that.
 * Jakob: You care about helping people. You shouldn't apologize. We need that passion. You are walking a difficult road, but I am on your side. If there is anything I can do, please tell me. i would do anything for you.
 * Sakura: Thank you, Jakob...

 * Jakob: I was hoping to steal a moment of your time, but you're studying. Later, perhaps?
 * Sakura: No, Jakob. That's all right. I need a break anyway. What did you need?
 * Jakob: Lady Sakura, I cannot stop thinking about your kindness and compassion. I confess... You've stolen my heart.
 * Sakura: J-Jakob, what are you saying?
 * Jakob: I can't imagine my life without you anymore. Please, do me the honor of being my wife.
 * Sakura: B-but, Jakob, you know that my mission is to heal the hurting. I can't give up now. I don't know if that feeling is ever going to change. I w-won't drag you into this!
 * Jakob: Lady Sakura, I would never ask you to give up your ambition. You face a difficult path. Still, I hope you'll accept this ring. Let us walk that path side by side.
 * Sakura: B-but if we get married... I worry that I will only cause you pain...
 * Jakob: The only pain you'll cause me is if you say no. I am not as skilled as you, but I have some training as a healer. Let me help. We shall walk this hard but noble path together as husband and wife.
 * Sakura: Jakob, would you d-do that? Are you sure?
 * Jakob: Without a doubt.
 * Sakura: I don't know wh-what to say. I'm so touched!
 * Jakob: Then, you'll marry me?
 * Sakura: Yes... I will!

 * Sakura: Y-yes... sorry about that. I have... u-um... something very... impolite to ask you... oh dear...
 * Silas: Ask away. I won't judge.
 * Sakura: I-I really mean no offense by this... But, I mean, you see... Oh, I can't do it! I just can't ask...!
 * Silas: Deep breaths, princess. In... out...
 * Sakura: ... N-no, I can't! Excuse me, Silas. I-I'm so sorry...!
 * Silas: What in the world was that all about? Should I mention this to someone, or... Well, maybe not just yet. I'll keep an eye on her and see what happens.

 * Sakura: *sob* It's g-gone...
 * Kaze: Lady Sakura, what's the matter?
 * Sakura: Oh...Kaze. *sniff* Umm...it's nothing.
 * Kaze: Now, come on! I can't be fooled that easily, milady, Something's obviously wrong.
 * Sakura: I don't want to bother you... (This is SO embarrassing!)
 * Kaze: Nonesense! I could never leave you in such a state. Please, tell me...
 * Sakura: W-well, I lost...something. (I hope he doesn't ask what it is!)
 * Kaze: That's terrible! I promise...we'll find it at once. I'll help you look!... Uh, so what are we looking for?
 * Sakura: It's going to sound silly...W-will you promise not to laugh?
 * Kaze: Wha?! Do I seem like the kind of man who would laugh at a lady in distress? Surely you have more faith in me than that!
 * Sakura: You're right, Kaze. I'm sorry. (I really have to tell him, don't I?!) I lost a... doll.
 * Kaze: ...Ah, I see. Is there any chance you've had this doll since you were little?
 * Sakura: Yes...but h-how did you know?
 * Kaze: Well, it's clearly important. I'm sure your doll brings back many happy memories. Let's start looking! I'll ask around and see if anyone's seen it...
 * Sakura: Kaze, thank you! You don't know how much this means to me...

B Support

 * Sakura: Kaze, thank you for helping me find my doll!
 * Kaze: My pleasure! Just think...all that time, your doll was in the shop getting stitched up!
 * Sakura: I know! Subaki thought he was being helpful.  He wanted to surprise me.
 * Kaze: Ha! Subaki is so neat and tidy.  I bet that ripped seam drove him nuts!  So tell me.  Is the rumor true?  You still sleep with this doll clutched tight?
 * Sakura: Wha?! N-no...!  I used to...b-but I don't do that now!
 * Kaze: Hmm, that isn't what I heard...
 * Sakura: Who told you that?!
 * Kaze: Oh, don't be embarrassed! I think it's pretty cute.  Lady Sakura sound asleep...her doll tucked under her arm... It's sweet.
 * Sakura: ...Really?! *sigh* I'm so relieved...  I mean-I would be if it was true, which it isn't!
 * Kaze: *wink* Of course not!

 * Ryoma: Sakura, are you OK? Why are you just sitting there? Did something happen?
 * Sakura: Ah, Ryoma! ...I'm fine. I was just carrying some heavy packages and stopped to rest.
 * Ryoma: I'm proud of you for helping all the time. You're growing into a lovely young woman.
 * Sakura: I'm not strong like you are, Ryoma, so I'm not much help during battle... That's why I try to do as much as I can off the battlefield.
 * Ryoma: That isn't true. You're plenty of help during battle! You're a talented healer. There's no need to be so hard on yourself. It's OK to depend on us sometimes.
 * Sakura: But I don't want to inconvenience anyone.
 * Ryoma: No one has ever thought of you as an inconvenience! In fact, there's something I want to show you.
 * Sakura: Something you want to show ME?
 * Ryoma: Yeah. Once you see it, you'll know how important you are to us. Meet me later?

 * Hinoka: Yaaaaaaah! Hyah! ...Hmm? Is that you over there, Sakura?
 * Sakura: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your training.
 * Hinoka: No, it's fine. What's the matter?
 * Sakura: Uhh... I was just admiring your fighting style, Hinoka. You always look so cool.
 * Hinoka: Is that it? If something's bothering you, you can tell me. I'm your big sis...
 * Sakura: I guess not all sisters are alike...
 * Hinoka: Huh?
 * Sakura: You're this brave, incredible warrior, and I'm...not. We're nothing alike.
 * Hinoka: That's not true! There are some things we have in common, like... Oh! Every morning we wake up with the same bedhead... We both like to run barefoot on the grass... What else...?
 * Sakura: N-no, I don't mean like that. I mean... personality. You're brave, and I'm not.
 * Hinoka: You have plenty of strengths.
 * Sakura: I wish I was more like you... Then you could be proud of me. I didn't mean to blurt all of that out! I'm sorry. I shouldn't have interrupted!
 * Hinoka: ...She left. Now what do I do?!

B Support

 * Hinoka: Sakura, do you have a minute?
 * Sakura: Sure...
 * Hinoka: I thought of a few more things we have in common.
 * Sakura: Really?
 * Hinoka: Yes. For as long as I remember, whenever I left for battle, you'd tell me to be safe... And you were always the first person to welcome me back when I came home, right?
 * Sakura: Yes.
 * Hinoka: Did you know that I did the same thing when Father and Ryoma left to fight?
 * Sakura: You did?
 * Hinoka: Yeah. It was you telling me to be safe that made me realize how important family is. I thought, "We really are sisters." Oh, and another thing. I may have had a doll or two.
 * Sakura: Really?!
 * Hinoka: Yeah, and, while I'm happy we have some things in common, even I have weaknesses. We should both try to be the best versions of ourselves.
 * Sakura: That's a great idea! I'll try to help you!
 * Hinoka: Good...I'll do the same for you.

A Support

 * Sakura: Hinoka, I have a favor to ask. I want you to give me lessons!
 * Hinoka: Lessons in what?
 * Sakura: Well, um...up until now, I was afraid to ask for your help with fighting. I thought I'd only be in your way if we trained together.
 * Hinoka: Sakura, don't think like that...
 * Sakura: After our talk the other day, I want to try harder. I want you to train me for battle.
 * Hinoka: You're serious?! I never thought you'd say that!
 * Sakura: I want you to be able to count on me, Hinoka.
 * Hinoka: OK. In that case, I'll be serious, too. You have to do something for me in return.
 * Sakura: What's that?
 * Hinoka: In exchange for training you, I want you to teach me how to treat injuries... But go easy on me! Remember, I'm not going to be on your level.
 * Sakura: Hinoka...! I'd love to!
 * Hinoka: Ack! Wh-what's wrong? Why are you hugging me...?!

 * Sakura: U-um... Takumi... can I talk to you about... the banquet?
 * Takumi: So you're dreading it too? Well, don't get any bright ideas. We can't exactly skip out.
 * Sakura: I know! And they won't cancel. It's one of Hoshido's longest-running traditions!
 * Takumi: What I don't get is why we're holding a party when there's a war going on!
 * Sakura: I just get s-so n-nervous talking to people...
 * Takumi: Yeah, I never know what to say at these things. Everyone's so stiff! I wish we could leave all this highfalutin stuff to someone else, but we can't.
 * Sakura: We'd just look irresponsible.
 * Takumi: You know, Sakura, what we need is a plan.

B Support

 * Takumi: So did you come up with any brilliant strategies for surviving the party?
 * Sakura: All I've got is "act the part, and h-hope for the best..."
 * Takumi: Wow... that's really optimistic of you. Think we could pull that off? I was thinking more along the lines of fake a fever and hide out in the infirmary... ...Or set all the guests' hair on fire and run for cover.
 * Sakura: Maybe we could ask Azura for suggestions...?
 * Takumi: And what's she going to do? Tell me not to act like a jerk? We've gotta handle this on our own.
 * Sakura: All right... It's just, we're running out of time... and I'm r-really scared!
 * Takumi: Leave it to me, Sakura. I'll think of something.

A Support

 * Sakura: *sigh* Whew! I'm so glad the banquet's over!
 * Takumi: Ha ha! Me too. I guess we survived without a plan after all! I panicked and started talking everyone's ear off... and they lapped it up!
 * Sakura: I know! They loved us! A lady told me she hopes her daughter turns out like me!
 * Takumi: Yeah, all we needed to do was make an effort. Who knew?!
 * Sakura: I actually enjoyed meeting everyone and hearing their stories.
 * Takumi: It's important for us to be accessible. Sakura, you and I make a good team.
 * Sakura: Thanks, Takumi. We'll keep working together for the good of Hoshido!

 * Saizo: Ngh... I have failed... I might have made it out of enemy territory, but they'll find me soon with these injuries. And I'm too badly hurt to drag myself the rest of the way to camp. I almost made it, but this is as far as I go... Ah well.
 * Sakura: S-Saizo?
 * Saizo: I can't see in this darkness. If you're an enemy come to finish me, do it quickly.
 * Sakura: N-no, it's just me! It's Sakura.
 * Saizo: Lady Sakura? How...
 * Sakura: Oh no! You're hurt! Wait just one moment and I'll heal you.
 * Saizo: There's no time. My pursuers may catch up to me at any moment. Go, quickly! You must get back to camp!
 * Sakura: But... But I can't just leave you here to die! This will only take a second if you'll please sit still!
 * Saizo: Ugh... if anything happens to you, how will I ever look Lord Ryoma in the eye again?
 * Sakura: Hee... Heehee...

 * Saizo: *ahem* ...Thanks for your help. It was only your intervention that kept me alive.
 * Sakura: Oh, anytime! You're almost like family to us, so I don't mind helping you.
 * Saizo: But, Lady Sakura... why were you so far from camp that night?
 * Sakura: I was feeling restless... Now that I think of it, maybe I knew somehow about your predicament.
 * Saizo: Hmm. It must be a divine gift you enjoy as a shrine maiden.
 * Sakura: Whatever it is, I'm glad it saved you.
 * Saizo: Yes, well... while we're on the subject...
 * Sakura: Yes, Saizo?
 * Saizo: I want you to have this.
 * Sakura: Ooh! Desserts from the castle town at Hoshido! These are so hard to come by... How did you get your hands on them?

 * Sakura: Y-you got these just for me?
 * Saizo: That's what I said, yes.
 * Sakura: ... Heh, Heehee...
 * Saizo: Why are you laughing now?
 * Sakura: Because! It's funny to think of you going out to buy desserts...
 * Saizo: Th-that's...
 * Sakura: Heeheehee... oh, s-sorry. I keep giggling in front of you. Oh! Instead of keeping them all to myself why don't I share these with you?
 * Saizo: N-no! That's all right, I—

 * Sakura: Um... I'm sorry.
 * Saizo: Hm? What is there to apologize for? It might help if you could look me in the eye when you answered.
 * Sakura: Last time we talked, you disappeared into a cloud of smoke... I offended you in some way, didn't I? Was it the giggling? I bet it was the giggling.
 * Saizo: What? No.
 * Sakura: Then why...?
 * Saizo: I... um... ... I despise sweets. I get nauseous just from the scent of them.
 * Sakura: Wha—?!
 * Saizo: You were making a move to open the box, so I instinctiely fled. I'm deeply sorry for the misunderstanding.
 * Sakura: So that's what happened... I wouldn't have guessed it of such a brave soldier.
 * Saizo: I'm ashamed to react so strongly. It's not becoming of the high prince's retainer.
 * Sakura: Oh, I think it's fine! Even a little... cute.
 * Saizo: C... cute?
 * Sakura: Very cure. It's wonderful to see a more human side of you. And it was so sweet of you to buy me something you dislike so much. It's very generous!
 * Saizo: I'm delighted that you're pleased, Lady Sakura.
 * Sakura: Thank you very much, Saizo. I hope we can talk again soon.

 * Saizo: Hello, Lady Sakura. Do you have a moment?
 * Sakura: Hi, Saizo. What is it?
 * Saizo: I'll keep this short. I am Lord Ryoma's faithful retainer and so could never leave his service. For this reason, I cannot enter yours.
 * Sakura: Sure, I know. Why do you bring it up?
 * Saizo: Because I... I love you.
 * Sakura: Huh?!
 * Saizo: Your smile has a strange effect on me. At first, I was uncomfortable with being laughed at. But your smile stayed with me after the laughter was gone... And in time, I realized it was comforting, in a way. All of wich is my way of explaining why I've fallen in love with you.
 * Sakura: S-Saizo... You don't know how happy I am to hear that... You used to scare me a little bit, with your scars and your clothes. But ever since I found out how kind and cute you really are... I started to have feelings for you.
 * Saizo: That's a weight off my mind, Lady Sakura. I couldn't be certain that you would share my feelings. Although... what did you mean when you said that I'm "cute"?
 * Sakura: Heehee, well... you always project this aura of being all business. But when I saw you run from a few sweets, I realized you can be pretty childish.
 * Saizo: I-I see... I'm not sure that's the compliment you may have intended. But detestable as my weakness is, I feel better hearing you speak highly of it. Thank you, Lady Sakura. I cannot pledge my fealty, but I do pledge my undying love.
 * Sakura: Oh, Saizo... I-I might not be perfect, but I'll be so happy to be with you.
 * Saizo: As will I. My world will be a better place with you in I.

 * Sakura: Well, I don't know if "selfless" is the right word, but I—
 * Azama: I mean, you're a princess, right? Shouldn't you be barking orders at people? Why should you ever have to lift a finger?

 * Sakura: But, that's just not right...

 * Azama: Well, believe it or not, I'm actually here to apologize.
 * Sakura: Hmph.

 * Sakura: You just said you weren't sorry! How could you think taht would make things better?
 * Azama: You're sharp as a tack, Lady Sakura.
 * Sakura: Well you're a jerk, Azama!
 * Azama: Wah?! Quit hitting me with your staff already! I've got something else to say.
 * Sakura: What makes you think I wish to hear it?
 * Azama: I brought you something to make up for my rudeness. Here, take it.
 * Sakura: What? This is... Oh my goodness! This is one of those amulets made in the sacred mountains of Hoshido, right? Isn't this very expensive? You really shouldn't have, Azama.
 * Azama: No really, I want you to have it. Listen, I know I'm not the most eloquent person in the world. But I was hoping this gift might serve as my true apology. I spent a great deal of energy and effort acquiring my precious object for you. As a priestess, you clearly understand how rare this amulet truly is.
 * Sakura: Of course I do!
 * Azama: So we're OK then? Let's shake on it to seal the deal.
 * Sakura: What a strange way to put it. You really aren't all that eloquent. But yes, we're fine. I'm not mad at you anymore.
 * Azama: Thank you. I hope this offering will inspire you to look past all the rude things I've said.
 * Sakura: I told you, all is forgiven.

 * Azama: Are you sure? Maybe I wasn't totally clear, but that's what it means.
 * Sakura: This is all so surprising. I just don't know what to say.
 * Azama: The truth is that I have feelings for you. I think that together, we can make an amazing team. If we stay close, maybe I can help you take advantage of your royal position. And I know we'll have a ton of fun!
 * Sakura: Is this your peculiar way of saying you want to be close to me?
 * Azama: .........
 * Sakura: Heh, That's it, right? I can tell because you're so quiet all of a sudden.
 * Azama: Fine, I admit it. You're right.
 * Sakura: To be honest, I always had a hunch that you felt this way. And the truth is... I really like you too.
 * Azama: Really? You mean it?
 * Sakura: I've had a crush on you since we first met. But your tendency to say rude things got under my skin. I didn't want to be with someone who hurt my feelings all the time.
 * Azama: I shouldn't have been so callous. I know that my sense of humor can be off-putting sometimes. But I want to take responsibility for my actions. I want to change. If you give me a change, I'll prove to you that we're a match made in heaven.

 * Hana: Allllll right, if you say so. But it feels a little odd. You always speak to me in a pretty formal tone.
 * Sakura: That's just... I've never spoken any other way. It's such a habit for me now, I don't think I'd be able to change my ways.
 * Hana: You're right, I suppose. So, what was it you wanted to talk about? I'm always here if you need me!
 * Sakura: Oh, it isn't anything important. I just wanted to chat with you. I've been thinking a lot about back when we first met and got to know each other.
 * Hana: You mean before I became your retainer?
 * Sakura: Yes. You were so stubborn... You snuck into soldiers' sparring sessions and trained in the hills and fields. You took the training more seriously than the soldiers who were actually enlisted! Remember all the little scrapes and cuts you'd have afterward?
 * Hana: Don't bring that up - it's embarrassing!
 * Sakura: Hehe... And I always had to heal those injuries for you.
 * Hana: Some days I definitely needed your help. You always followed me and helped me out in so many ways while I was training. Thanks so much for that...
 * Sakura: It was no trouble at all.
 * Hana: Oh! But there was that time you got lost in the mountains. I thought you were following me, but then when I looked back, you were gone! It took me hours to backtrack and figure out where I'd lost you.
 * Sakura: My robes caught on a tree branch, and you hadn't noticed when I fell behind. You've always been able to fixate on a goal and not lose your focus.
 * Hana: I'm really sorry about that... I was so concerned with my training then, I didn't think of what I dragged you into. It really wasn't considerate of me...
 * Sakura: Haha, that's not true. Now that it's all said and done, it was good for me. I tend to be introverted... so I was thankful that someone like you brought me to all those places.
 * Hana: Really? Hearing that makes me feel a lot better.
 * Sakura: I hope that you always say the same, Hana. Never change.

 * Hana: Hey, Sakura. Would you like to continue our talk from the other day?
 * Sakura: Hello, Hana. Of course. I always enjoy sitting and talking with you.
 * Hana: I've been thinking for a while... You're a really kindhearted person to have spent your time with me. I wasn't exactly interested in all the things that someone like you normally would be. And I felt like, if I could serve someone as deserving as you... I could become a samurai just as great--no, greater--than my father was. That's why I worked so hard to become your retainer.
 * Sakura: Hana...
 * Hana: When I was young, I promised myself that I would faithfully serve you. I already knew I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps... Your kindness gave me a reason to achieve my goal.
 * Sakura: ... When it came time to select a retainer, I was told there was no rush to decide. But I immediately named you anyway. The reality is, I had decided on you long before I was given the choice.
 * Hana: Sakura...
 * Sakura: Your capabilities as a fighter were obvious, and that made you a good choice, but...
 * Hana: ...?
 * Sakura: You were such a young girl; several people questioned my decision because of that. No matter how skilled a samurai, they did not believe you could fulfill your duties.
 * Hana: What? I didn't know that!
 * Sakura: They said that a personal retainer needed experience even more than marital skill... And that, at your age, it would be impossible to fulfill your duties. I refused to listen to them, though. I had decided, and eventually they gave up.
 * Hana: I never knew... I'm sorry you had to go through that, Lady Sakura. Thank you so much. But...why did you fight for me so hard?
 * Sakura: Well, that's... I apologize... I just remembered I have an urgent errand to attend to.
 * Hana: Huh?
 * Sakura: Hana, let's continue this conversation at another time.
 * Hana: Sure... That was oddly abrupt of her...

A Support

 * Sakura: Hana...
 * Hana: Hm?
 * Sakura: I'm sorry for my abrupt departure while we were talking before.
 * Hana: It's OK, Sakura. But I really want to know why you fought so hard for me to be your retainer. Not knowing has been killing me!
 * Sakura: I figured you would still want to know... With how I left things hanging, I can only imagine your suspense.
 * Hana: ...
 * Sakura: The reason is...I knew I could really trust you. I didn't just believe I could--you'd proven yourself over and over. Because you carry scars from so many times that you got between me and danger. Your wounds are healed, but the scars from those events remain.
 * Hana: ...
 * Sakura: Like the time I was climbing up a tree while we were out exploring. The branch broke and I fell, but you softened the blow by trying to catch me. Or the time a wild dog attacked us and you protected me when it lunged to bite... Each time you were injured. And you did it even though you weren't obligated to.
 * Hana: ...Sakura.
 * Sakura: I feel bad for the pain and suffering you've endured in my place, but back then, it told me that you'd protect me no matter what happened...
 * Hana: So you were feeling guilty over my injuries... Phew, it's a relief to hear that.
 * Sakura: What do you mean? Were you concerned?
 * Hana: Yes! I was worried that I may have done something to trouble you. But why wait until today to tell me? You could have told me this before.
 * Sakura: I guess I just felt uncomfortable mentioning the scars. Bringing up old wounds and reminding you of injuries you'd suffered for me... I saw one of your old scars the other day, and it brought all those memories back.
 * Hana: Haha, you don't need to worry about that! I wear these scars with pride! To a samurai, injuries in service are like badges of honor. Each one means that I've done my job well and protected you from danger!
 * Sakura: Thank you, Hana. Really.
 * Hana: It's all right. I realize how much you care about me now. So thank you, too, Sakura.
 * Sakura: You'll always be my best friend.

 * Subaki: Please understand. I've been destined for the castle guard since my youth. That's why my parents set the bar so high. I had to be perfect at all times. Otherwise, I would embarrass myself in front of royalty. No mistakes allowed!
 * Sakura: But everyone makes mistakes!
 * Subaki: Not me. I will not be the flaw in your reputation, Lady Sakura.

 * Sakura: But, Subaki...feeling sorry for you wasn't why I chose you.
 * Subaki: It wasn't?
 * Sakura: No. I chose you because I thought you were amazing. You were brave and strong! You were such a hard working! That one little fall made you all the more charming.

 * Sakura: I accept your oath and would ask one more thing of you.
 * Subaki: Yes! What is it? I will do anything my liege asks.
 * Sakura: I would be much happier if you thought of me as a woman, not a liege. I love you, Subaki. Is that wrong?
 * Subaki: O-of course not! As your retainer, I assumed you would always be beyond my reach. Even though I loved you, I resigned myself to be nothing more than your loyal retainer.

 * Hayato: And you're always thinking about everyone else's feelings! That's very mature of you!
 * Sakura: Thanks, Hayato.
 * Hayato: It was kind of you to come up with a secret plan to share sweets with me. But thanks to you, I don't think we have to keep it a secret anymore.
 * Sakura: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Hayato: You helped me realize it's OK to be myself. I like sweets.  I don't care if people know!
 * Sakura: ...Aww, Hayato, that makes me so happy! Our secret plan is finished!
 * Hayato: Yes, but there's one thing. I still want to be your pastry pal.  You don't mind, do you?  I know I could eat sweets on my own, but I'd rather eat them with you.
 * Sakura: That sounds great! I'd like that too!

 * Kaden: *yaaaawn* Looks like I've got enough time for a nap if I can just find a good spot...
 * Sakura: Zzz... Zzz... Mmm...
 * Kaden: Hmm... Is that Sakura over there? She looks so comfy. I bet there's a nice breeze and plenty of shade under that tree...
 * Sakura: *yawn*
 * Kaden: Ah, I think she's waking up. Good morning, Sakura!
 * Sakura: WHA?!
 * Kaden: Huh?!

 * Kaden: I must apologize! You were sleeping so soundly, and I disturbed you!
 * Sakura: Oh... I guess I did fall asleep. Uh... do you think we could keep this... between us?
 * Kaden: But why? There's nothing wrong with a little nap now and then, right?
 * Sakura: I didn't mean to take a nap! I just dozed off... I'd be so mortified if people found me like that!
 * Kaden: ... I have an idea! How about we become napping buddies?
 * Sakura: What?
 * Kaden: Next time you need a little shut-eye, come find me and we'll curl up together...
 * Sakura: U-ummm... WHA?!
 * Kaden: That way you wouldn't be caught napping alone, right? Don't they say, "Nodding off's not so scary if everyone's dozing together"?
 * Sakura: I-I've never heard that before!
 * Kaden: Oh... Well, we say it back at the kitsune hamlet. No worries. I'll come find you soon, Sakura! I'm already looking forward to our nap!

 * Kaden: Yeah, we're going to sleep SO well.  Oh, but before that...
 * Sakura: What are you doing?!
 * Kaden: Sorry, I always groom myself before I take a nap.  If you want, you can rub my ears.
 * Sakura: They look really soft and furry, don't they?
 * Kaden: You can touch them if you'd like.  I love it when someone strokes my ears.  Go ahead!
 * Sakura: OK. ...Wow, they're so fluffy!
 * Kaden: Aren't they?  That's because I always keep myself groomed.
 * Sakura: You're right. Your fur feels like velvet!  I could keep stroking it forever.
 * Kaden: ...Huh? Sakura?  What's wrong?  Why'd you stop talking?
 * Sakura: Zzz...zzz...
 * Kaden: Huh?!  Did she fall asleep?  Well, that's what happens when you've got silky-soft fur like mine.  Nighty night!

 * Kaden: Sakura! Wanna nap together again?
 * Sakura: Ah, Kaden. Hello. Umm... I can't today...
 * Kaden: Oh, are you busy? I understand...
 * Sakura: No, that's not it. I just feel bad taking a nap while everyone's at war.
 * Kaden: Ah, I see your point... But I think the war is the very reason we should nap.
 * Sakura: Huh?
 * Kaden: When everyone's so worried, they get tired more easily, right? If we don't take some time to relax every once in a while, we won't be able to fight.
 * Sakura: Oh... You might be right about that.
 * Kaden: That's why naps are so important... I think everyone should nap together!
 * Sakura: Everyone? T-together? Heehee... It sounds kind of fun!
 * Kaden: Doesn't it? But we can't all be napping at the same time... That's why I was planning to nap just with you.
 * Sakura: Heehee, OK...

 * Sakura: I was just p-practicing.
 * Xander: Practicing what?

 * Xander: You don't have to explain. I understand completely.
 * Sakura: You do?
 * Xander: I don't tell many people this, but I was a timid child. I could barely make eye contact. I was also clumsy with a sword at first, which disappointed my father to no end. Then, one day...I decided to change. I tried the very tactic you are using now. I decided to talk to the most frightening person I could find.


 * Sakura: Wh-who was that?
 * Xander: My father.
 * Sakura: Really?!
 * Xander: Yes, and it worked. But talking to my father was not the thing that changed me.
 * Sakura: It wasn't?
 * Xander: The most important thing is that you must WANT to change. I see that desire in you. So, let's talk. Now. You choose the topic.
 * Sakura: B-but I don't know how!
 * Xander: Don't think so hard. Tell me... What's the best thing that's happened to you today?

 * Sakura: I love them. But what's gotten into you lately? You've been bringing me an awful lot of flowers.

 * Sakura: Oh, that's so sweet! But... I do have a favor to ask of you.
 * Kana: Anything, Mama. What do you need?
 * Sakura: Remember how I told you that flowers are living things too? Well, when you pick them, it hurts them, and they wither away and die.
 * Kana: Oh no! I've been hurting them?! It was an accident! I'm sorry, flowers! I've been such a big meanie!
 * Sakura: Don't worry, Kana. I'm sure the flowers know you weren't trying to hurt them. You just need to promise not to pick any more flowers, OK?
 * Kana: OK! But... if I do that, then how can I show you all the neat flowers I find?
 * Sakura: Hmmm... How about if you find some, you come and get me. Then we can go look at them together! How does that sound?

 * Sakura: Did your father help you create this ointment?
 * Midori: He sure did! I mentioned that you'd been in pain, and he gave me a few ideas. I still had to do a ton of research though.
 * Sakura: I'm glad that you're so passionate about your studies. I bet your father was delighted to share his knowledge with you.

 * Sakura: Talk to me. What's wrong? I'd like to help in any way that I can.
 * Midori: Well....I was in the forest collecting a few herbs, and some kids came up to me. They asked where my parents were and laughed when I said I was an adult. Then they said they were going deeper into the forest. I tried to stop them...but they turned to me and said "Kids can't tell us what to do!" and ran off.
 * Sakura: Oh, I see. Children can be so cruel. Did you notice if they made it home safely?
 * Midori: Yes, they did. I watched them carefully to make sure they came back from the forest.
 * Sakura: I'm pleased to hear that. You're a very thoughtful girl.

 * Midori: Exactly! I ran into them in town earlier, and they were so nice. They even apologized for being rude to me.
 * Sakura: Oh, really? So they understood that you were just trying to help?
 * Midori: They sure did! Well, that and I think their parents yelled at them for being so mean. But it still made me feel better.
 * Sakura: I'm glad the air is clear. Maybe they aren't so bad after all.
 * Midori: I think we're friends now. But, um...they invited me to go back into the deep forest with them...they said we'd be sade if I came along, but I'm not so sure. We probably shouldn't go without a grown-up, right?
 * Sakura: Please, stay away from the deep forest. It's a very dangerous place for children and adults alike. Please understand - I just want you to stay safe.
 * Midori: Of course. We'll stay away from there. I promise. Anyway, I already suggested that the kids come with me to collect some rare herbs. I told them it'd be much more fun than wandering around some dank, dark forest.
