Ipsen's Line

You don't have to feel so responsible, Dagger. 

But I do!

Nobody wants you to feel that way. They didn't do it all for you, either. Each was following his own path. 

His own... path? Well, what about you?

Huh?

Why did you come with me?

Hey, that's Ipsen's line. 

Ipsen? Who's that?

Ipsen is a character from a play, but he's a real-life adventurer. I think the play is based on his adventures. It kind of goes like this...

Ipsen and his good friend Colin worked at a tavern in Treno. 

One day Ipsen got a letter. 

The letter was so wet from rain that most of the writing was illegible. 

The only part he could read said 'Come back home'. 

Nowadays, we have airship and stuff, but back then, it was really hard to travel. 

He didn't know why he had to go back, but he got some time off, gathered his things, and set out on his journey home. 

He walked a thousand leagues through the Mist.

Sometimes he was attacked by vicious monsters, but he made it, because his friend Colin was by his side. 

And then, after much time on the road... he had to ask Colin something.

"Why did you come with me?" 

And? What was Colin's answer?

Only because I wanted to go with you.
