Am I really to be the last ruler of the High Entia?
Shulk
Melia...I...
Melia
In fact, even calling me the ruler is a bit of a joke. I'm the empress of a city of one.
Shulk
You weren't the only one with Homs heritage. Reach out to the remaining High Entia. Rebuild the city together.
Melia
Easier said than done!

Melia
Rebuilding Alcamoth is nonsense. It's completely impossible.
Shulk
Sorry, Melia. I might have seemed a bit too eager there. But I don't want you to give up.
Melia
I understand what you're saying. But...I can't, Shulk...
Shulk
Is that really how you feel?
Melia
Yes.
-50
Shulk
But...that isn't you! The Melia I know has a lot more confidence in herself than that.
Melia
How can I be confident in myself?! I failed to save those close to me. I let them die... You think someone like that can rebuild an entire city?!
Shulk
So...what? You're just going to forget you're even a High Entia? Live the rest of your life as a Homs?
Melia
... No... I will not do that.
Shulk
Whatever you're going to do, you don't have to rush your decision. Take some time. Think about it. I'll be here, ready to listen. Whatever choice you make.
Melia
I don't know the path I will take. I need time to think... However, I will tell you as soon as I know.
Shulk
I'll look forward to it. No hurry, though!

Melia
Thank you, Shulk.
Melia
Well...not exactly.
+50
Melia
I am resolved in my decision to ascend the throne.
Shulk
Then what's wrong? You'll be a great ruler.
Melia
But what about those I let down? All those close to me I lost? How can I, a failure to my people, rebuild an entire city?!
Shulk
If anyone can rally the people again, it's you, Melia. It'll take time and a lot of effort, but if you build it, they will come.
Melia
Shulk! I just remembered Juju is helping to reconstruct Colony 6.
Shulk
Yeah. You could learn a few tips from him! You'll get Alcamoth back on its feet before you know it!
+300
Melia
Thank you so much, Shulk! It's settled. I shall begin as soon as our current mission is over.
Melia
Do you think it's possible?
+50
Shulk
Of course! I'll help you out. You'll be fine. I know it! No one's tougher than you, Melia.
Melia
No challenge seems beyond reach when you talk about it. When I look into your eyes, I feel so sure about myself.
Shulk
You do? Well, thanks!
Melia
Shulk... When Alcamoth is rebuilt, I have a...personal mission.
Shulk
Really? What are you gonna do?
Melia
I want to see if I can find any relatives of my mother. My real mother, that is.
Shulk
You mean the...Second Consort? She was your birth mother, right?
Melia
Yes. I only have a few memories of our time spent in the Imperial Villa.
Shulk
Then we can look together!
Melia
You'll...look for them with me?
+50
Melia
Are you sure? I mean... I don't want to pressure you.
Shulk
You don't even have to ask. I'd love to meet your family.
Melia
It might take some time to track them down...
Shulk
Then let's ask Fiora and Reyn! The four of us can go! Then we'll be sure to find them.
Melia
Well...OK, Shulk. Another adventure with my friends. It would be most enjoyable!
Shulk
We'll always be your friends. Even after you return home.
+300
Melia
I'm glad. Thank you, Shulk. You're a good friend.
Melia
I can't ask that of you.
-50
Melia
It might take some time to track them down. I'll go alone.
Shulk
Why? The two of us could find them in half the time!
Melia
You should be with Fiora. She's still not completely well. It's the right thing to do.
Shulk
But...what about your mother's relatives?
Melia
I'll find them. Don't worry about me. Thank you, Shulk.
Shulk
OK. Whatever you say, Melia. But remember this... When you go back to Alcamoth, I'll still be your friend. Any time you need me, just let me know. I'll be there for you, Melia.
