Er, I hope I don't sound ungrateful, but did you see anyone else? When you rescued Rodelion, I mean.

No? Shards! I'd hoped they'd stuck together....

Player: "Who? Another colleague?"

Yes. His name is Paios. His combat skills are quite advanced for one so young.

He was part of Rodelion's patrol the night the Balaur attacked, so I'd hoped you'd find them both at once.

Losing such talent would be tragic. Could you return to Rentus Base and search for Paios?

Player: Accept.

I will make sure all hear of your kindness. You'll want to concentrate your search for Paios near the Residential Zone.

With our relatively small numbers, we cannot afford to lose such an adept warrior.

With his skills, he should still be alive, Siel willing....

Player: "I'll leave at once, then."

R-Rein...forcements? Then...Rentus will be...safe yet. Thank...A-Aion.

Th-thanks for...coming for...me. Tell L-Lition I'm sorry...I was so...weak....

Player: "Wake up, blast you! Wake... NO!"

I...see.

Why didn't I send you after Paios first? This is my fault! This...

Thank you for trying. At least Paios didn't die alone and afraid. We can be grateful for that much.
