The Sorrowful Knight
The party is saved by Naoise, the pilgrim knight. Although injured, he refuses offers of help, but he's moved by Lyria's concern to join the crew, at least until he heals.
A group of monsters appear without warning, and (Captain) and company are forced to fight a difficult battle.
Vyrn: An ambush? Heads up, (Captain)! Behind you!
Lyria: Watch out!
Naoise: You there! Are you okay?
Vyrn: We owe you, big guy! You hurt, (Captain)?
Naoise: You seem okay to me. Now help me handle these fiends!
With the help of Naoise, a knight on a pilgrimage, (Captain) and company successfully defeat the monsters.
Vyrn: Thanks, man! You said your name was Naoise? You really saved our skins back there!
Naoise: No, I... Cough... Cough...
Lyria: We have to get you treated! Look at you, Naoise! You're hurt!
Naoise: Don't touch me!
Lyria: ...!
Naoise: I... I'm sorry... this is nothing you need concern yourself over.
Lyria: But... you wouldn't have gotten hurt if you hadn't helped us...
Naoise: A life sacrificed for the sake of others... There is nothing greater.
Naoise: Ah... to think one so tarnished as I would be worthy of such an honor...
Vyrn: What are you talking about? And, I gotta say, you sure were reckless back there.
Lyria: Yeah, why take such risks?
Naoise: It's quite simple... I have sinned.
Naoise: I am no true knight. To destroy the country and king you'd sworn to serve... it is beyond forgiveness, beyond redemption.
Vyrn: Wow, dude... I wasn't expecting such a major reason...
Naoise: And so... should I remain alive, should I involve myself with people... there's no small chance that they would meet with misfortune.
Naoise: If you understand, continue on your way. Pay no heed to my injuries.
Vyrn: What should we do? Seems like he's got his mind made up, (Captain)...
Lyria: Hold on... You've got it all wrong!
Choose: No way we're leaving him
Lyria: Totally wrong! (Captain) thinks so too!

Naoise: Come again?
Lyria: You... We're so grateful you saved us, Naoise!
Lyria: I'm not going to stand by when you're in so much pain!
Lyria: Please... Stop fighting as if you hope to sacrifice yourself.
Naoise: It sounds like you want me to change so you don't have to suffer...
Lyria: Is that so wrong?
Vyrn: Hey now... How about we all take a nice, big chill pill? Okay?
Lyria: Hic... You heard him. It's all so sad...
Naoise: In the end all a knight has is his pride.
Vyrn: What's that supposed to mean?
Naoise: It means chivalry. It means never bringing a lady such heartache.
Naoise: (Captain)... Might I therefore accompany you at least until my wounds heal?
Lyria: Eh? So you'll... you'll...
Naoise: I doubt you'd be happy with anything less.
Naoise: But I must warn you that my regret runs deep. It's not a thing that can be tossed away with a shake of the head...
Naoise: But perhaps I can at least protect one girl's smile. For chivalry's sake.
In the end it is Lyria's smile that compels Naoise to show his own.
His expression is a mix of strong determination and lingering hope.
