Level 40 quote

“	Feels like I've been here awhile now, somehow or other... Oh, don't get me wrong—it's not like I hate it here or anything. I'm grateful for this chance to get stronger. And of course, I've enjoyed working with you. Enough that I'd be happy to stick around for as long as you want. But...someday, I'm going to go back to Fódlan. There's this voice in my head telling me I have to. When I do, that'll be goodbye. But until then, I'll use my blade to cut a path for you. That's my job, after all.	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity

Level 40 quote

“	Out of curiosity, do you know when our contract will end? Not that I'm unhappy with it, or anything... It's just... I know I can't keep fighting as a mercenary forever. And when that time comes, what happens? Will we wrap up the contract and go our separate ways like a couple of strangers? Maybe that's for the best. At least that would mean I could listen to the little voice in my head saying I need to get back to Fódlan. No point worrying about that now, though. Seems like there's still plenty to do around here. So until that day does come, I'll keep offering my blade to your cause. That's my job, after all.	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity

Level 40 quote

“	This place sure is different from Fódlan. They both have battles, but the ones here are...unreal. Still, fighting alongside you has taught me a few things, and I know I've gotten stronger. At first, I would have just thought of this like any other job and not even bothered to celebrate victory. But now? Now, I find that the future of this world is as important to me as the future of Fódlan. So I'm gonna achieve victory in both worlds. No matter how impossible, I'll find a way.
