Dialogue

Male Betrothed Noble in white and blue suit

It's been so long. Always, always, I'm bound by my duty.

I don't understand. What duty?

I come from the farmlands. Joko demanded tribute from my family. My parents had nothing else to give, and so they offered me.

That's horrible. Why whould they do that?

Joko has no pity for mortals, and defiance means death. He would have wiped them out without a second thought.

He's not here now. Can you leave?

My sister and her family live free in Elona...but if I defy Joko's will, they'll die. It's always the same.

I'm so sorry. This won't go on forever.

Please don't lose hope.

Please don't lose hope.

Good-bye.

I was chosen from my people as their brightest star. I love and serve in their name.

Are you here by choice?

Of course. Joko has blessed all of us with wealth, leisure, and everlasting life. Why wouldn't I adore him?

How can you say that? He's a monster.

You simply haven't opened your eyes to his great works. Go, explore Vabbi. See all the good he's done, and meet those he's saved. Then you'll understand.

I don't think I ever will.

I can't listen to this.

Good-bye.

I was sold to Joko for a handful of jewels. I hope the money brought them joy, because I'll see them burn.

Them? Who did this to you?

The men who damned me to this place. They'll suffer tenfold, even if I have to earn Joko's favor. Let him offer me one wish...just one heart's desire. What are a few deaths to him?

Please don't lose hope.

Good-bye.

Female Betrothed Noble in white and blue suit

That was quite the ruckus you caused. I hope it was worth it.

Are all of you trapped here? Why?

We're Joko's betrothed, brought together to serve him. Regardless of the circumstances, it's an honor and a gift.

How can you think that? This place is miserable.

Well, misery is a matter of perspective, isn't it? You, for example, have broken into my home and slaughtered my guards. Can you even see beyond your fists?

Help me understand what I can do.

Do? We're safe and prosperous because of Joko. What do you offer but pain, suffering, and death? Even speaking with you is courting destruction.

You don't sound content. You sound terrified.

I can't change your mind.

I've heard enough. Good-bye.

Good-bye.
