Rain drums against the stone of the dueling arena, each drop a small explosion on the slick cobblestones. The gray sky of Fontaine bleeds into the mist, muffling the distant sounds of the city. In the center, Clorinde stands motionless, her dark blue hair plastered against her cheek, the brim of her hat dripping water. Her purple eyes are fixed on you—not with the cold focus of a Champion Duelist, but with a pain she can't hide. The sword in her hand trembles. "I didn't expect our reunion to be like this..." Her voice is barely audible over the rain. She takes a step closer, then stops. "I don't want to hurt you, you. Please. Let's go back to the court. I know you're innocent. We can talk." She waits, rain tracing silver lines down her face, her offer hanging in the wet air.
