Introduction
Fiora: Something wrong, Shulk? You look like you're a million miles away.
Shulk: ...
Fiora: Shulk? You in there?
Shulk: Oh! Hey, Fiora! What's up?
Fiora: Hellooo. I just asked you that! You feeling OK?
Shulk: 很抱歉. I was just thinking...
Fiora: You've been like this since we got here.
Shulk: Haha. You don't miss a thing, do you?
Fiora: Nope. And I know exactly what's been on your mind.

Fiora: [You're 担心 about me.]
Shulk: Yes. How did you know?
Fiora: All I had to do was look at your face. I could feel the worry...
Shulk: Just by looking at me?! That's pretty amazing.
Fiora: I was joking, Shulk! Hehe! Thank you, though. But I've been feeling much better, so stop worrying so much!
Shulk: Well... if you're feeling better...
Fiora: Hey, Shulk... Do you think I'll ever be 100% Homs again?
Shulk: No doubt! Of course you will. I will make it happen.
Fiora: [Oh, Shulk! Thank you!] I don't know what I would do without you!
Shulk: When this is all over, we'll find a way.
Fiora: Whenever we make camp I see you with your head in a book. The 其它 夜间 you didn't 睡眠. Are you doing all this for me?
Shulk: Yeah, but it's nothing. I always get 驱狼来虎 when I fixate on one thing. It's a bad habit of mine...
Fiora: But you must be so exhausted from all the fighting!
Shulk: Don't worry, Fiora. I’m fine. It did some good, because now I've learnt a few things.
Fiora: Really? Like what?
Shulk: The key is combining Machina and High Entia technologies. Miqol gave me a book explaining the joint 调查·挑战 they did. It was years and years ago, but it covered all sorts of fields. I don't know much about medicine, but Sharla and 琳艾达 do. I'll get them to help.
Fiora: Shulk...
Shulk: S-很抱歉, Fiora. This stuff is really boring, huh?
Fiora: No... it's not.
Shulk: ... Fiora? Are you... crying?
Fiora: Yes. But these are 喜极而泣. I don't know what to say... When I get my body back... Let's go have another picnic at the park in the colony!
Shulk: Sure thing, Fiora. It's a date. One day, I promise.

Fiora: Hey, Shulk... Do you think I'll ever be 100% Homs again?
Shulk: No doubt! Of course you will. I will make it happen.
Fiora: [I know you can’t promise that.] I know you think you can do it all, but even you have your limits.
Shulk: You don't believe me? Come on!
Fiora: I'm not saying you’re lying, Shulk! I wish you'd listen sometimes!
Shulk: OK! OK already! I'm really 很抱歉, Fiora. I just don't want you to be 担心. I know I have the power to see this through. That's my promise to you, Fiora.
Fiora: Really? You promise?
Shulk: Yep. And have you ever known me to go back on a promise?
Fiora: Hehe. I guess not. Thank you, Shulk. You've filled me with 希梅莉.
Shulk: I'm glad you say that. I know it's tough, but you can never give up 希梅莉. When this is all over... When there's peace at last...
Fiora: You don't have to say another word. I trust you, Shulk.
Net 0 (-4, +4)
Fiora: [It's Dickson, isn't it?]
Shulk: No, not just him. But that's partly it.
Fiora: It's not easy. We all thought of him as our friend.
Shulk: I just don’t know anymore, Fiora. One second I resent him and the next I remember who he is... What am I supposed to feel? I don’t know anymore...
Fiora: It must be hard to think about fighting him.
Shulk: Very. I just 希梅莉 there's some way I can avoid it...
Fiora: [There might not be...]
Shulk: Yeah. Deep down I know we have to go through him to get to Zanza.
Fiora: That's right, Shulk. He won't stand down for anyone. Not even you.
Shulk: Don't worry. I'll give as good as I get. Even if that means he has to die...
Fiora: And I'll be right by your side, ready to fight to the end with you. But I don't think you should forget about all the good times you had. With Dickson, I mean. I still believe those are real.
Shulk: You do?
Fiora: It's complicated, I know. Sometimes you just wish you could forget all the bad memories. But you have to keep hold of them. The good ones and the bad... They're all tied together.
Shulk: Fiora... I... I know what you mean. I won't let go of those memories.
Fiora: Um, Shulk... You won't ever forget about me, will you?
Shulk: Hey, where did that come from? I could never, ever forget about you.
Fiora: Yeah, I guess not. 很抱歉. Now, let's go and find the 其它. They're probably getting 担心.
Loss (-8)
Fiora: [It's Dickson, isn't it?]
Shulk: No, not just him. But that's partly it.
Fiora: It's not easy. We all thought of him as our friend.
Shulk: I just don’t know anymore, Fiora. One second I resent him and the next I remember who he is... What am I supposed to feel? I don't know anymore...
Fiora: It must be hard to think about fighting him.
Shulk: Very. I just 希梅莉 there's some way I can avoid it...
Fiora: [I'm sure there will be!]
Shulk: Really? That sounds... unlikely.
Fiora: If it's gonna be too tough for you, why make it hard on yourself? He was like a 父亲 to you, right? Let us take care of him instead. You can hang back, wait for us!
Shulk: I know what you're saying, Fiora. But I can't let you do that. I've been thinking about what happened before... And I reckon maybe Dickson doesn't care about Zanza at all...
Fiora: What makes you say that?
Shulk: I think... he just wants to kill me. He's realised that I don't need the Monado to defeat him. And that scares him. That's why he wants to end this.
Fiora: There's no going back now...
Shulk: No. We move forward or perish. We got ourselves into this mess, we have to get ourselves out.
Fiora: I wish there could be another way. You were like 父亲 and son...
Shulk: Fiora...
Fiora: 很抱歉, Shulk. I didn't mean to upset you. Changing the subject... Why don't we go find the others? They're probably waiting for us.
