The Cause of Sorrow/Script

Blue Lions Route

 * Dimitri: This is the only ball of the year, and I see why. Everyone is absurdly excited...
 * Dedue: Your Highness, you sound so detached. We are all encouraged to enjoy the ball tomorrow.
 * Dimitri: Right you are, What a burden...
 * Felix: Huh. I never thought we'd see eye to eye, but I agree. I'd rather be swinging my blade than wasting my time with some girl at a ball.
 * Sylvain: Felix! Your Highness! You must be joking, right? This is our chance to dance with all of the ladies of the academy to our heart's content. You wish to throw away the best day of the whole year for sword practice? Insanity, I tell you!
 * Ashe: I'm pretty excited about the ball, myself. It's not like we get to do things like this very often.
 * Sylvain: Too true, Ashe. In fact, I'm gonna do you a favor and give you a crash course in chatting up girls. By tomorrow, you'll be an expert!
 * Ashe: Actually I'd much prefer if someone could just teach us how to dance...
 * Annette: Don't worry about the dancing part. I can teach you that, easy!
 * Mercedes: It's time for the ball! That warrants at least a tiny bit of makeup, don't you think, Ingrid? Just a smidge?
 * Ingrid: I...hmm. Maybe. I'll think about it.
 * Annette: It's settled! Tomorrow morning we'll meet up in Ingrid's room. Ooh, I can't wait!
 * Dimitri: Hahaha. You know... There's no telling where life will take us after we leave here. If only we could find a way to come together again, just like this...
 * Dedue: A fine notion, Your Highness. Perhaps five years from now?
 * Dimitri: Five years from now? Ah! That's when Garreg Mach Monastery will be holding the millennium festival.
 * Ingrid: By then we'll be addressing Your Highness as Your Majesty instead!
 * Sylvain: That's right. I suppose we all know it's coming, but by then you'll be far removed from us.
 * Dimitri: Come now. You know me better than that. My title may change, but I won't. And it won't just be me, you know. Five years from now, you'll all have your own stuffy positions to contend with. But as I understand it, the festivities at the millennium festival will be of a scale far beyond anything we've yet seen... In other words, the perfect excuse for us all to return here.
 * Annette: Ooh, a reunion? That sounds fun! I wouldn't miss it for the world!
 * Dimitri: I'd love for you to be there as well, Professor. After all, you're the heart of the Blue Lion House.
 * Byleth: I'll be there.
 * Dimitri: Good. Then it's settled.
