KOLOBOS ISLE - VARIED EMOTIONS - MIASMATIC GROTTO OPENING
Emma: The ruins should be up past this cave.
Lasswell: We don't know what we'll find in here. I'll go ahead. Scout the cave out.
(Rain gets (...) over his head as Lasswell leaves.)
Fina: What's wrong, Rain?
Rain: There is something unsettling here... Some strange presence...
Emma: Eeek! L-look!
(The scene shifts to show zombies approaching from east and south of the party!)
Rain: Zombies! Even here!?
(Fina moves to stand in front of Emma.)
Rain: They're coming for us! We've got to protect Emma!
(Rain draws his sword, and gets a ! over his head.)
Rain: Wha.... your face....
Fina: What's wrong, Rain?
(Zombies are now approaching from the north as well.)
Rain: Why... are you here....?
(The zombies get closer as the party draws together.)
Fina: Rain! They're going to surround us!
(Rain bows his head.)
Rain: I can't... I can't fight them.... These are... my men...
Fina: Your men...? You mean the men who you said died at the Earth Shrine?
(The zombies draw nearer.)
Rain: Yes.... I told them to watch the ship... And then Veritas struck them down...
(One zombie grabs Emma!)
Emma: H-help! Help me!
Fina: Emma!
(Lasswell comes running back in. He knocks one zombie aside and grabs Emma back from the zombie who took her.)
Lasswell: What's wrong with you, Rain!? Why do you hesitate!?
Rain: I... I'm sorry, Lasswell... I can't...
Lasswell: Talk later! Now we must break through their ranks!
(Lasswell turns and draws his sword.)

Lasswell: I see... Those zombies were our fallen comrades... But zombies are zombies, as cold as it sounds. Let emotion take hold, and we'll share their fate.
Rain: I know, Lasswell... I'm pathetic, aren't I? If you hadn't come for me, I'd have...
Lasswell: It's over now. Don't dwell on it.
(Wave 1 of battle commences and proceeds to wave 2.)
Rain: If only we hadn't left them behind at the Shrine... They might still be alive. They wouldn't have ended up like.... that.
Lasswell: I know, Rain. I feel the same guilt. But right now--
Rain: I know, I know. We have things to do.
(Wave 2 commences, and leads to wave 3.)
Lasswell: Still, even beyond the obvious, there's something disturbing about this. We buried our fallen back in Grandshelt. How did they end up in this distant place...?
Fina: That doesn't matter now! We have to save Emma! Please, Rain!
Rain: R-right... I know, Fina.
(Wave 3 commences, and leads to wave 4.)
Lasswell: To recognize those men... to remember their trusting faces... and then to cut them down... is agonizing indeed. You have a big heart, Rain. It's your great strength as much as your weakness. But you must steel it now... and carry out your duty.
Rain: Duty....?
(Wave 4 commences, and leads to a boss battle against 2 zombie soldiers.)
Lasswell: Duty calls you, Rain. The final confrontation with Veritas... Thwarting the dark plot of the Sworn Six of Paladia.... And most importantly, your promise to a young girl who needs your help! To fight for what you believe, to stay strong and true to the end... Or are you not a knight of Grandshelt!?
Rain: I... I am! Thank you, Lasswell. I know what I must do.
(Battle commences. There is no dialogue afterward.)

KOLOBOS ISLE - VARIED EMOTIONS - MIASMATIC GROTTO ENDING
(Rain is crouched down amidst fallen zombies, while the others stand nearby.)
Rain: ....That's the last of them.
(Fina backs up and her knees give out.)
Lasswell: Fina? What is it?
(Fina glows with white light. Visions of Rain's fallen men appear over the zombies' bodies.)
Soldier A: Buck up there, Commander....
Rain: What!?
Soldier A: If you keep looking so miserable, you'll make us worry so much that we won't be able to move on.
Soldier B: We're glad, Commander. Glad that you stopped us before we did something terrible.
Rain: Y-you guys...
Soldier B: Don't you worry about us, sir. Keep moving forward, Commander.
Soldier A: If you don't like the way something is, then work to change it! You're the one who taught us that, sir!
Rain: ...I guess I did.
(The screen fills with white as the visions end.)
Rain: ....Sorry, but I won't cry for you guys. Not yet. Not until I've finished what I have to do.
(Fina stops glowing. Lasswell approaches her.)
Lasswell: Was that your power just now, Fina?
(Fina stands.)
Fina: I don't know. But I did feel a strange heat in my body, all of a sudden.... Did I do something bad?
Lasswell: ... No. I don't think you did. Thank you. Both Rain and I thank you. Let's move on. The shrine lies ahead of us.
Fina: We'll finally reach the place where Emma's mother breathed her last....
