No friends at all? I only met Lloyd and Genis later when I started at school, but....that must be lonely. I could see why that would make a difference.

[In terms of Merida wanting to remain here at least. Here, she has probably made plenty of friends that she would miss and want to stay with. But the last has her considering for a moment, even as she watches Merida working at cleaning the shrine.]

Hm. I suppose. A lot of us probably have...changed even at least a little, from being here and meeting everyone.
