 * "Wait. Who was that and where did he take the Lady Fuji?"
 * "At last, you've come to."

 * "Will, we can talk about this later!"
 * "Gemma Knights? Tree of Mana? What are you–? Will! WILL!!!"
 * "I won't forget this, Will."
 * "I guess It's now or never!"
 * "The Dark Lord and his court mage, Julius!"
 * "What are they doing here?"
 * "Time to make my exit!"
 * "I–I'm alive! But where am I?"
 * "If it's Bogard you seek, I may be able to help."

 * "Oh! Uh...yeah. I was thinking the exact same thing."
 * "Right... Good night..."
 * "Fuji! She's gone!"

 * "I'll circle around and wait for you on the other side!"
 * "Wish me luck!"
 * "We must hurry. The ship is about to take off."
 * "Gah!"
 * "I... I can't..."
 * "Wh-Where am I? The pendant! It's gone!"
 * "Was I dreaming? I could've sworn I heard Amanda's voice... But that's impossible..."
 * "What was that!?"
 * "Oh, hello there!"
 * "Stop following me!"
 * "You think I'm your mother! Alright then, come with me!"

 * "Amanda! Are you hurt?"
 * "I can't do that, Amanda! We'll...we'll go back to Sir Cibba! He'll know a way to cure you!"
 * "I'm sorry, Amanda."
