[Corrin laughed softly.]

I'm not sure that's true. Or that should even be true...but...

[Before she could continue, the scene before them moved on. The memory Corrin moved to the edge of the bridge closest to her army, looking out at them all, with Azura standing on one side of her and an elderly man in armor standing on the other.]

[The memory Corrin hesitated for a long time, trying to gather up her thoughts before she finally spoke. And the words came out in a rush.]


Corrin: Well... Now we jump off this bridge. We have to reach the bottom of the canyon to continue.

[A noise of confusion and surprise ran through the crowd, and one of her brothers stepped forward.]

Takumi: Corrin, it's called the Bottomless Canyon. By definition, we can't reach the bottom. You're asking us to kill ourselves!
Gunter: Lady Corrin, you were prepared for them to doubt you, yes?

[The elderly man in armor sighed.]

Corrin: Yes, Gunter. I was prepared for this. I'm sorry I haven't been able to tell you the whole truth up until now. I'm certain that you'll be willing to jump once you know why I've been fighting.

[The Azura reached out to grab her hand, fear on her face.]

Azura: Corrin! What are you saying? You can't tell them everything here. If you do, the curse...
Xander: What curse? What is she talking about?

[Corrin smiled sadly at Azura, not releasing her hand even as she turned back to her family and friends.]

Corrin: If I speak the truth here, and not down below, a curse will trigger and I'll...vanish. But if that's the only way to convince everyone to jump, then I have to do it. Xander, Ryoma, I'm counting on you two to finish what I've started once I'm gone.
