NPC-SCAR-H(0)<Speaker>Amaris</Speaker>||:We're going into that building up ahead! +Its interior is connected to other buildings. We'll use the terrain to shake them off!

NPC-Nele(6)<Speaker>Nele</Speaker><Shake>||:...I... I feel for the first time... just how important physical stamina is...
NPC-SCAR-H(0)<Speaker>Amaris</Speaker>||:I've heard that of all STEM people, orthopedic doctors are usually in the best shape.
NPC-Nele(6)<Speaker>Nele</Speaker>||:Well... orthopedists are glorified carpenters... +Don't worry about me. I'm going tibia okay...

NPC-SCAR-H(0)<Speaker>Amaris</Speaker>||:Don't go.
NPC-Nele(6)<Speaker>Nele</Speaker>||:Why?
NPC-SCAR-H(0)<Speaker>Amaris</Speaker>||:...
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>||:Because the Stasi is among those hunting you... +There are others too, of course. +After all, that little speech you gave in front of Altes Rathaus... ruined many people's efforts.
NPC-Nele(5)<Speaker>Nele</Speaker>||:...
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>||:Is Gray's innocence worth more than your own life? +She's already dead, while you are still alive...
NPC-Nele(7)<Speaker>Nele</Speaker>||:...This is about my personal belief. +If a person can't live by their own beliefs, then they may as well be dead!
NPC-Keven(12)<Speaker>J</Speaker>||:Why? Nele... +You come from a good family. You're gifted, talented. You have a bright future ahead of you... +Because of a single decision... you could lose everything, even your life!
NPC-Nele(7)<Speaker>Nele</Speaker>||:...From the moment we're born, we're all destined to die! +The only difference is how! +We can't choose our birth, but we can choose our death!
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>||:...

NPC-SCAR-H(0)<Speaker>Amaris</Speaker>||:I can't help it; it's in my fundamental makeup. The moon reflects light shone upon it—I'm just drawn to things that shine.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:Amaris plants herself in front of Nele. +The pursuers flood in, surrounding the building and every exit.
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>||:They've really brought the whole village this time. Hard to tell which division they're from.
NPC-SCAR-H(0)<Speaker>Amaris</Speaker>||:This is where a T-Doll like me comes in useful.
NPC-Keven(7)<Speaker>J</Speaker>||:You're made for war. Protecting civilians isn't in your skillset.

NPC-SCAR-H(0)<Speaker>Amaris</Speaker>||:Nele! Stay behind me!
NPC-Nele(6)<Speaker>Nele</Speaker>||:But behind us is...
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_rifle_finalshot_h</SE1>:For some reason, amidst the thunderous gunfire, Nele can clearly hear the single shot fired from behind.
