No Rain, No Rainbow - Chapter 6: Predawn Purple - Episode 4
Syr delivers a letter to (Captain) from Ladiva. In it, Ladiva asks (Captain)'s forgiveness and requests the captain's presence on deck the next morning. A masked Ladiva awaits when (Captain) steps on deck at dawn. Ladiva invites (Captain) to spar with her to let out all the frustration the captain has been keeping inside. The captain accepts.
Syr: (Captain)! Got a delivery for yooou!
Any version of Melissabelle is a crew member
Syr: Hehe! I feel like Bianco!
Morphe: A delivery?
Vyrn: What is it? A letter?
Syr: Yeah! It's from Ladiva. I gave her some of my stationery!
(Captain) unfolds the sheet of charmingly decorated stationery and reads the message written in Ladiva's beautiful handwriting.
Ladiva: Dear (Captain),
Before anything else, I have three things to apologize for.
Before anything else, I have three things to apologize for.
Ladiva: First, I'm sorry it took me so long to realize you were feeling sad.
Ladiva: Second, I should never have entered your dream without permission to find out why.
Ladiva: Lastly, I'm sorry that there's probably nothing I can do to fix it.
Ladiva: I don't think I can ever fully understand how you're feeling, or why.
Ladiva: So I may make mistakes.
Ladiva: But I still want to believe that my impulse to comfort you comes from love.
Ladiva: If you, too, can believe it despite the mistakes I've made, then meet me on deck tomorrow at daybreak.
Ladiva: With all my love,
Ladiva
Ladiva
(Captain) nods. The letter is carefully folded and tucked away alongside the one from the captain's father.
The next morning, (Captain) steps out into the crisp air as the rising sun limns the deck in gold.
Ladiva: Thank you for coming, (Captain).
Ladiva: Like I said in my letter, I don't think there's any way I can banish the shadows hanging over you.
Ladiva: But when you feel all mixed up and frustrated... when you don't know what to do with those feelings... I can be here for you!
Ladiva's gentle smile broadens into a grin as she lowers her duelist's mask over her face.
Ladiva: This is my formal look. I was given this mask for my first tournament victory.
Ladiva: In other words, it's a crystallization of all my love, sweat, and tears. It's also a symbol of me returning to my roots to start all over again.
Ladiva: I want to show you—I'm dead serious about tackling your feelings, Captain! That's what this mask means!
Ladiva: No... (Captain), I'm the one who should be thanking you.
Ladiva: Thank you for coming out here and forgiving my immature love.
Ladiva: I see you raising your fists, ready to face me on my own terms. Thank you for that too.
Ladiva: Thank you for caring enough to let me tackle your feelings.

Ladiva's words are kind, but her gaze is clear and sharp.
Ladiva: Come on, (Captain). All those feelings you've been storing up—it's time you tackled them with everything you've got!
Ladiva: I'm here to take whatever you dish out, head-on!
(Captain) looks at Ladiva in all her loving glory and takes a deep, steadying breath.
Then (Captain) takes a ready stance and prepares for the Love Guru's ultimate tackle drills.
