Level 40 quote

“	Mortals are dear to me. I wish to learn of them and embrace the wonderful variety of their ways... Their lives, short as they may be, burn with an intense brilliance. I would like to help them shine. That is why I made my contract with Líf, and why Embla contracted with Thrasir... These ties live on, even today, within Alfonse, Zacharias, and others of their lines. It all pleases me endlessly, and I hope only to protect that brilliant light of theirs.	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity

“	Embla: Hm-hm-hmh-ha-hah... Askr: Enjoying yourself, are we, Embla? Care to let me in on the joke? Embla: These mortal fools...so peculiar... With their short lives, every new year is one step closer to death. Yet still they celebrate each year all the same! How can you not laugh at them? Askr: They are making the most of what time they do have by celebrating! Their celebration is beautiful! Though, I understand it must leave you feeling lonely... Askr: It does no such thing. Embla: I know you, Embla. I know you have always loved the mortals. You cherish them, yearn to keep them close... Because their lives are short, you fear a future where they step out of your reach. Embla: Ridiculous! I would never. Do not pretend to know me better than I know myself. Askr: I would not go so far as to say I do. I simply know the part of your heart you've closed off and hidden away. Be it this year, next year, or some year far in the future, I will reach that part of you again someday. But until that day comes, I have faith your true self is in there—and that I will meet her again. Embla: Askr, you...are completely unbearable. Askr: Hah! So I may be! Let us celebrate that as well!	”	— Duo conversation

Level 40 quote

“	Askr: It seems that making a New Year's resolution is a way to determine a path for the coming year... What do you intend to make of your year, Embla? Embla: What does it matter? My mind is filled with thoughts of the inevitability of mortals perishing as I look on... Askr: Ah! So you plan to use this coming year to watch over them? I always knew you were gentle at heart! Embla: No, you misunderstand... I would never put forth such effort for the sake of mortals... I wish only to be closed away—away from interaction with everyone and everything. And yet, with you... Being in your presence makes me feel as if I am losing my mind... Askr: I do wish that you have a wonderful year, Embla. Truly, from the bottom of my heart.	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity
