Heart Lock
After Manawydan is sealed away, Graphos's power becomes unbalanced, causing Sara to fall ill. When (Captain) and company visit her, they hear the castle staff bad-mouthing her and convince her to leave the island with them.
Sara is a young woman fated to sacrifice her life to seal away the primal beast Manawydan—a beast capable of bringing disaster to Sable Island in the form of a violent rainstorm.
But thanks to Lyria, she manages to cling to her life even as she seals away Manawydan.
Sara's health fails some time after that, so (Captain) and company visit her to see how she's doing.
Lyria: Sara! We've come to see how you are!
Sara: Cough... Lyria, I'm glad you came.
Vyrn: You're actually looking better than I thought you would! Thanks for coming all the way from your room to the castle entrance to greet us.
Sara: Think nothing of it. I was really looking forward to seeing you, so I couldn't just wait in my room.
Sara: Besides, I'm doing better today than usual, so it wasn't a big deal.
Lyria: Thank you, Sara. But don't overdo it, okay?
Lyria: Let's go back to your room! We brought gifts for you!
Sara: Okay, Lyria. This way, (Captain).
Sara: My room is right around the corner.
As (Captain) and company approach Sara's room, they overhear the people of the castle talking.
Servant 1: Help me clean the priestess's chambers.
Servant 2: What? No way. Didn't I do it last time?
Servant 1: Yeah, but going alone gives me the chills. It feels like I'll be cursed.
Servant 2: Oh, I know what you mean. When a priestess of the sand god seals away Manawydan, she normally dies.
Servant 2: It's weird that the current priestess is still alive... There seems to be some sort of curse at play.
Vyrn: Listen to them shooting their mouths off!
Graphos: ...!
Sara: Aahh! Graphos, settle down.
Lyria: Graphos's power is surging! Sara, hang in there!
Sara: Ugh... Cough.
Vyrn: It's no good. She's as pale as a ghost! Let's get her to her room, (Captain)!
Lyria: Sara, are you okay?
Sara: Cough... Yeah, I'm fine now. I'm sorry for making you worry.
Graphos: ...
Sara: Graphos, don't be so sad.
Sara: I'll be all right. And no one in the castle was hurt.
Vyrn: Those jerks really need to stop running their mouths!
Lyria: Exactly! Don't they realize Sara risked her life to save Sable Island?
Sara: Well, it's my fault they're feeling uneasy.
Sara: So that puts me in the wrong. I need to pull myself together.
Vyrn: Whaddya mean it's your fault?
Sara: I think they fear that Graphos's power might go out of control.
Lyria: Really? But that's never happened before, has it?
Sara: No, but Graphos can't properly control its own power right now.
Sara: The power of Graphos's seal is tied to Manawydan's existence.
Sara: But because Manawydan was stripped of its power, the power of Graphos's seal no longer has anywhere to go.
Sara: And that means it's now more likely that Graphos could go out of control... Cough.
Lyria: I see. Is that maybe part of the reason you're sick?
Sara: Cough... Yes, probably.
Sara: If only I could contain all of Graphos's power. Then it wouldn't be able to run rampant...
Sara: And no one would fear me or Graphos.
Sara: I have to be strong... Cough.
Sara: Huh? But if I don't do the best I can—
Vyrn: Nope! (Captain)'s right!
Vyrn: If Graphos's power is making you sick, then, yeah, we gotta do something about that.
Vyrn: But there's no need for you to overdo it for people bad-mouthing you!
Sara: So I don't have to try so hard?
Lyria: Exactly! You already did plenty by sealing away Manawydan!
Lyria: From now on, just focus on the things that make you happy!
Choose: Let's just whoop 'em all!
Sara: What?
Vyrn: All right, (Captain)! I'll back you up!
Sara: Hold it! Let's not do anything hasty!
Sara: I'll do everything I can to keep Graphos under control!
Lyria: Sara...
Vyrn: But you can't just let them say whatever they want about you. That's not kindness! It's just being a doormat!
Sara: A doormat?
Vyrn: That's right! And if you keep getting bad-mouthed like that, it might even annoy Graphos enough to send him on a rampage.
Sara: You may have a point. I suppose I do need to stand up for myself.

Sara: What was that, (Captain)? You want me to travel with you?
Sara: Thank you for inviting me... But in my current condition, I would surely be a burden...
Lyria: But staying here and continuing to overdo it would be even worse for your health!
Vyrn: That's right! We need to get you out of this castle, Sara!
Sara: Lyria, Vyrn, (Captain)... Ugh...
Graphos: ...!
Vyrn: Are you okay, Sara? Does it hurt somewhere?
Sara: I just... I don't want to stay here!
Sara: I've been wanting to say that to someone for so long!
Sara: Take me with you! Please!
Lyria: Okay, let's go together! You've already done so much good here, Sara.
Sara: Cough... Cough... Thank you.
Thus Sara leaves the castle and its taint of ill will to set out on a journey with (Captain) and company.
Sara: Oh. Hello, (Captain).
Sara: What? You want to know what I was doing just now? Well, I was looking at Sable Island.
Sara: It looks so tiny from this far away.
Sara: That cramped little island has been the only world I've ever known.
Sara: ...
Sara: (Farewell, my hometown.)
Sara leaves her home to reexamine her strength and who she really is.
She hopes her journey will help her find a place in the world for herself and Graphos.
