A Heavy Heart
After (Captain), Ryan, and the crew save a town, they're hailed as heroes, but Ryan struggles to get used to the treatment. When he receives a letter from his little sister, he decides to head back to his hometown for a break.
Ryan: Hyaaa!
Bandit: Argh!
Ryan swings his giant axe to help (Captain) and the crew confront some bandits trying to attack a town.
Ryan: Look out, (Captain)! Behind you!
Responding to Ryan's warning, (Captain) turns to strike down the bandit who was sneaking up from behind.
Bandit 1: Ugh! Damn you...
Bandit Leader: What the hell is going on? There's only two of them! How are we losing?
Ryan not in crew
In the heat of battle, (Captain) looks at Ryan and, feeling the bonds of their friendship, thinks back to when they first met.
In search of a place to stay, (Captain) and the crew had been heading for a village in the mountains. They were stopped by Ryan, who was guarding the village at the time.
Ryan: No one's getting in here. Orders from the chief.
Ryan feared the crew might be bandits in disguise, but he soon realized his mistake and joined forces with them to drive off the real bandits attacking the village.
They then rested up in the village, and Ryan asked to join the crew since his village no longer needed a guard.
Ryan: You're leading all of these people on a journey even though you're so young, (Captain). I'd also like to travel with you and learn from your bravery.
(Captain) agreed, and Ryan resolved to travel with the crew.
Ryan: Ha!
Ryan bounds like an animal and hurls his giant axe with one hand.
Bandit 2: Agh! Ugh...
The axe flies at a terrifying speed directly into a man aiming his gun at (Captain) from afar.
Bandit Leader: What the hell! How'd you notice me?
Ryan: Intuition.
Bandit Leader: Argh!
Vyrn: Whoa! Ryan's intuition is right on the money!
Ryan: Well, it wasn't just intuition. The smell of his gunpowder actually gave him away.
Vyrn: Huh? Gunpowder? But I didn't smell anything.
Ryan: You didn't? I guess it was faint... but it doesn't matter. Let's get back to town.
Ryan picks up his axe with a smile, and (Captain) gives him a nod. They and the rest of the crew head back to town.
When they get back, many of the townspeople offer them words of thanks.
Townsperson 1: Haha! I'm glad we let you guys handle this! I knew the mighty hero Ryan could do it!
Ryan: Hero? I'm nothing of the sort.
Townsperson 2: Oh, don't be so humble! You saved our town, so you're a hero to us!
Ryan: If you say so.
Ryan mutters and smiles uncomfortably.
Ryan: Hey, (Captain). Excuse me a minute. I'll be right back.
Ryan finds somewhere quiet and lets out a tired sigh.
Ryan: I just can't get used to this.
Vyrn: Huh? Get used to what?
Ryan: Hey, Vyrn. Oh, and (Captain). I didn't realize you were following me.
Lyria: We're sorry, but we were worried about you, so...
Ryan: Haha... No need to apologize. And as for what I said earlier...
Ryan: I meant that my skill in battle, my senses of sight and smell, and even my intuition are all getting better. I can feel that every time I fight.
Ryan: But it doesn't feel right.
Ryan: I left home to earn money so my sister could have a better life... but then I found myself traveling around with all of you.
Ryan: And now people call me a hero everywhere I go. It's just too much for me.
Lyria: Hehe. Isn't it a good thing to be called a hero? We're proud to have you in our crew!
Ryan: Haha. Proud, eh? I appreciate that and all, but to be honest it's a little tiring.
Choose: Okay, you can borrow Vyrn!
Ryan: What? Borrow Vyrn? You mean I can hug him and squeeze him?
Vyrn: Haha! You bet! Hug away!
Vyrn: Wait... What am I saying? I'm not some thing to be loaned out!
Ryan: Haha... You're right. I'm sorry.
Ryan: Thanks for trying to help me feel better, (Captain).
Choose: Let's rest here for a while!
Ryan: No, I don't have time to rest. I have to earn money for my little sister.
Ryan: But thanks for trying to help me feel better, (Captain). I appreciate it.

Ryan smiles sadly. (Captain) can't think of anything to say to break the awkward silence.
Ryan starts talking, seemingly looking for a way to break the tension.
Ryan: Um... Do you mind if I tell you about my sister?
Vyrn: Mind? We'd love to hear about her!
Ryan: Heheh. Her name is Conlon, and she looks really good in a straw hat. She's just sooo cute.
Ryan: And she's a farming genius! Her vegetables are the best in the skies!
Ryan: She also has really good intuition like me! Heck, better than me! She can even hear the calling of the insects and the wind!
Vyrn: Haha! She sounds pretty amazing!
Ryan: She is! Heheh. She really is! She's adorable and can do just about anything!
Beaming, Ryan pulls an unopened letter out of his bag and shows it proudly to the party.
Ryan: She often sends me letters like this, and I always write back.
Ryan: Her letters are always about the same things, but I can feel the love in them!
He opens the letter and starts to read. He suddenly freezes, his eyes wide.
Curious, (Captain) peeks at the letter.
Enough already. Take a break.
Ryan: Haha... There's no fooling her.
Ryan: I guess she noticed that I've been wanting a break.
Lyria: Haha... Conlon really does have good intuition, doesn't she?
Ryan: Yep, and I better take a break if she says so.
Vyrn: Really? Then I say we head to your hometown! I'd love to meet your sister!
Ryan: Good idea! Heheh. Let's do it!
Ryan: I can't even remember the last time I went back. I can't wait to see Conlon again! Heheh...
Ryan: But you have to promise me one thing, (Captain).
Ryan: You might fall for my sister, and that's fine... but lay a finger on her and you're in for a date with me and my axe.
(Captain) nods, intimidated by Ryan's indescribable intensity.
Ryan: It's a promise then. Now let's take care of any jobs we still need to finish up!
Ryan: Then we can head for my hometown! I'm coming to see you, sis! Just you wait!
Vyrn: Wow... He's like a totally different person when it comes to his sister.
(Captain) responds with a wry smile of agreement. Ryan does indeed look happier than he has in quite some time.
With everyone excited for their visit to Ryan's hometown, the crew moves toward their next destination.
