Completed the quest "Reason of Escape"

Dialogs:

NPC:/talk I'm sorry to say this, but Corliss is not just a kid anymore. He has to know the situation!

NPC:/fact Jemondy, enough. Let's talk outside.

NPC:/talk W-Wait. I'm not sure what's going on, but you're talking about me. I'd like to listen as well.

NPC:/talk No, this isn't something you need to know about.

NPC:/worry Well, I actually know a bit about it already. The Firran need the powers of melodies, don't they? There's something going on at the plains, right?

NPC:/dialogue That's right. There are many groups that are gathering at the plains. Some of them have evil intentions.

NPC:/dialogue It's time to awaken the sound that has been dormant at the plains. If the souls of the Firran heroes react, the Firran have hope.

NPC:/dialogue We'll all be able to go back home!

NPC:/dialogue But that's not something my son must be responsible for!

NPC:/talk Uh... How about I give it a try?

NPC:/dither Corliss! What are you talking about?!

NPC:/dialogue Mitzi said that one does not simply have a choice in whether or not one becomes a bard... I'm not sure I can, but I'd like to try.

NPC:/dialogue But you always said you never wanted to become a bard!

NPC:/fact Yes, I may have said that, but I still have vivid memories of grandma. She seemed pretty happy.

NPC:/talk I still remember her singing. Though it's strange, I can't seem to sing it...

NPC:/talk The reason I didn't want to become a bard was because I wanted to stay with mom and dad for a long time. But what's the point if the Firran are in danger? We, too, are Firran.

NPC:/conclude I will try. I want to learn the sounds and melodies.

NPC:/talk Corliss...

NPC:/talk Don't worry, mom. I won't always be miserable if I'm helping others. I can do it. At least, I'd like to try.

NPC:/talk Corliss... I can't express how much I thank you. Even if it's just an attempt, I am grateful.

NPC:/worry Ah... It hurts to see that everyone may be putting a great burden on you, but you're right. You should try. The most important thing is for you to do what you want to do.

NPC:/dialogue Don't worry too much. We, the Windwhip, will support you in any way we can. I'll step aside so that you can think it through and discuss it. Please, at least try.

Dialogs:

NPC:/dialogue Corliss, if this is something you want to do, I won't stop you. Whatever you choose to do, we will stay by your side. We'll support you.

NPC:/sad Corliss... Things are different from back when grandma was around. I didn't have any power back then, but now I can protect you. That's why I am giving you permission. Remember, you can come to me anytime you are troubled.

NPC:/thank Thank you both.

NPC:/talk As you may know, you can't simply learn the melodies just because you want to. I don't know too much about it, but Mitzi should know. She was close to your grandma, Tynesia. They were best friends.

NPC:/talk Alright, I will go to Mitzi.

NPC:/dialogue @PC_NAME(0), can you help my son, Corliss? Please, @PC_NAME(0). Go with Corliss to Mitzi.

NPC:/thank Thank you.
