By Any Other Name - Chapter 1: The Towering Wall - Episode 1

The crew reunites with Paris and Juliet in the Capulet district. They discuss the tense state of affairs between the two houses as well as Lord Montague's decision to isolate his part of the city for reasons yet unknown.



???: At last. I've been expecting you for some time.
Vyrn: Hey! It's Paris!
Paris: It's been a long time, (Captain).
Count Paris greets the crew when they arrive on the Capulet side of Verona.
Lyria: Thank you for coming out just to meet us, Paris. It's very kind of you.
Paris: Think nothing of it.
Paris: Now if we may? Juliet's waiting for you. Follow me.
Juliet: I've been waiting for you, everyone!
Lyria: Juliet! So nice to see you again!
Paris has brought the crew to Juliet so that they can have a discussion.
Vyrn: You're looking well, Juliet!
Juliet: Thank you. And you all haven't changed a bit.
Juliet and the crew happily exchange pleasantries.
Paris: Juliet, I think it's time we discuss the matters at hand.
Juliet: Yes, you're right. (Captain). Everyone.
Her expression tightens as she looks from crew member to member.
Juliet: Did you notice the wall on your way into Verona?
Vyrn: Yeah, we're pretty confused about that.
Lyria: What's happened, Juliet?
Juliet: Well, the truth is...
According to Juliet and Paris, both sides worked together in peace after the war ended.
But before long, pockets of insurgence emerged and demonstrations sprang up everywhere.
Juliet: The unrest spread throughout all areas of Capulet and Montague territories.
Lyria: That's scary.
Juliet: Yes, it is. Everyone feels the same way.
Paris: Different viewpoints festered, and some people became disillusioned with their governments. They became hostile toward neighboring regions.
Juliet: As instability took hold, the Capulet-Montague relationship became severely strained.
Lyria: What a shame. And after all the hard work you and Romeo put in to mend things between the two sides and end the war.
Juliet: Romeo...
Vyrn: You okay, Juliet? We didn't mean to bring down the mood.
Juliet: No, excuse me. I'm fine.
Juliet: The thing is, Romeo has taken the throne as Lord Montague.
Vyrn: What? You mean, he's like the king of the Montagues?
Lyria: That makes sense considering Romeo's father lost his life in the conflict.
Vyrn: But that's what I don't get. He's the king now, but we can't go into the Montague side.
Paris: The Montague side went into lockdown after Romeo, er, I mean Lord Montague, took over.
Lyria: But why would he do that?
Juliet: That's why I called you here today. I'd like to hear about what happened to him before he came back to Verona.
Juliet: Did you notice a change in him at all? Please tell me everything you know, no matter how small or trivial it might seem.
Lyria: A change? Hmm...
Vyrn: He got a bunch of letters from home, and he looked pretty serious while he was reading them.
Lyria: Looking back, those letters were probably full of bad news about the things happening at home.
Vyrn: Other than that, there isn't anything else I can think of.
Juliet: I see. As I thought, he did return for the sake of House Montague.
Lyria: Um, does that mean you don't know anything about the lockdown either, Juliet?
Juliet: That's right. It's not just our citizens who are worried.
Juliet: The Capulet court has also expressed anxiety about not knowing what goes on in Montague.
Vyrn: Hmm... What's that guy thinking?
Juliet: I don't know. But I'm sure he has some reasons for his actions.
Juliet: I have no doubt that he's thinking about his people first and foremost.
Juliet: I have complete faith in him.
Juliet speaks softly, but she is firm in her conviction.
And yet she's unable to hide the look of concern on her face.
