Gumbah: This...this is a letter from Werei!
You say some adventurer had it?
Gumbah: Why would he do this? He could have just talked to me...
Werei: I apologize for leaving without any notice, but I can assume that you were already aware of my approaching journey.
Werei: Even now as I write this letter, I ponder over whether I should be sending it or not--whether this really is the best thing to do.
Werei: Gumbah. You have always embraced your freedom while turning your cheek to any form of responsibility.
Werei: However, among men who put too much pride in their race, you stand out as a light of reason.
Werei: I know how you must feel. The shock you received when you first realized the weight you must bear...
Werei: The weight the Talekeeper must bear...
Gumbah: You knew, Werei! And you didn't say anything...
Werei: You thought that after two hundred years of friendship, I wouldn't pick up on something as obvious as that?
Werei: However, I respect your will. You did not choose to bear the anger, pain, and suffering of the Galka people.
Werei: And it is true that those who have been bestowed with this task--including Raogrimm--have always perished before setting out on their journey of rebirth.
Werei: That may be destiny, so I can see why you would be afraid.
Werei: But let me say one thing. You may feel lost, but you must remember, there are things that only you can do.
Werei: Not that the Talekeeper can do, but that only you, Gumbah, can do. Do not forget this as you follow your path in life.
Werei: Only then will you realize why you must carry the two hundred years of Galkan memories.
Werei: I must continue on my journey now. I am looking forward to the day when we can fight again, side by side.
Do not forget, we shall always be friends.
Gumbah: Werei!
Gumbah: You can come out now, Cornelia. I know you're hiding there.
Cornelia: So, Gumbah, what are you going to do?
Gumbah: Do you think I know?
Cornelia: But I know you, Gumbah, and I know that you aren't going to run away from your destiny, like I have from mine.
Cornelia: You're different from the rest of us. No matter what you decide, I know that you'll face what lies before you. You're the one who taught me that.
Gumbah: I'm sorry... I think I just need to be alone...
Cornelia: Okay, Gumbah...
