Victories are certainly worth celebrating, but it's what follows that deserves deeper reflection.

Sacrifices must be made to bring about change. I'm sure you all understand.

I'm one step closer to my ideal Northland.

This is a necessary trade-off.

The kindling is laid... It's just a matter of time now.

Rarity drives value – overstocking kills it.

Time is on the side of this gemstone dealer.

I can't wait to see what choices you'll make here today.

The most dazzling pearl is already in my hand...

Thank you for the gift.

If this gift represents your trust in me, then I'll repay you in kind.

The elite within the Church fear the Holy Maiden – she's too much of an enigma for their liking. They find me a much easier proposition. I may be calculating, true, but I always offer a more congenial front. And with enough wealth, strategically placed, even a gemstone dealer like myself can ascend to the office of Cardinal. But make no mistake: I am not, and never have been, in their camp. And I never will be.

Time has a way of changing almost everything. It grinds down mountains to valleys, turns glaciers into mere streams. It can make a man question his faith, wear away his edge. But it can never touch my resolve. I will build a new Northland, and I will pay any price to do it.

{name}, you're sometimes too naive and trusting, which reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger. I learned the hard way and paid a steep price for that innocence... so I hope you never have to experience the pain of betrayed trust, my friend.

What do I wish for? Heh, that's a question I haven't heard in years. At my age, people don't generally ask you that sort of thing anymore. You're a rare one for even wondering, {name}. Well, if I have to make a wish, then I wish that every child in Northland could buy themselves a sweet orange soda from a roadside stall.

Even a child knows: When a tree decays from its roots, lightning will strike it down. And when we look at the Northland Church, rotten to its very core... well, the solution becomes rather obvious, doesn't it? This path ahead is sure to be paved with blood and thorns. Even knowing that, you still choose to walk it with me? ...I see. Then let's see this through to the end, you and I.

Happy New Year, {name}. The New Year in Northland is a much quieter affair, not nearly as bustling or lively as it is here. But I would still like to invite you to go there with me. I want to introduce my hometown to you, tell you of my hopes for its future, and work to turn my dreams about the snowfields into reality, one step at a time. Will you witness this journey with me, {name}?

{name}, how long has it been since we first met? Oh, don't mind me... just a passing thought. People in my line of work tend to favor long-term investments. Time makes the pieces in our collections grow in value. And in much the same way, it strengthens our friendship, making it even more precious...

My hometown? Northland is a harsh place, all endless snow and biting cold. Faith is a big thing for most people there, and the "pious" priests are always keen to preach about love and hope. Me? I have my own beliefs. Let's just say they're certainly not cut from the same cloth as theirs.

{name}, how about we tackle a few more of these "which tile to discard" questions together? The most fascinating thing about them is that you can never alter the tiles in your hand, and yet your very next choice determines the entire course ahead. Eventually, both of us will face the end in our own way. Isn't that so?

Mahjong isn't common in Northland; I only learned it through business dealings. In those games, though, winning or losing mattered far less than sealing the deal – after all, business is all about profit. Ever since you showed me the real joy of mahjong, those business matches only feel empty and tedious. It's difficult to tolerate the pretense once you've experienced the real thing, wouldn't you agree?

What often makes a gem valuable isn't the gem itself, but the stories behind it, with the most valuable ones being those associated with the most intriguing or illustrious tales. Unfortunately, everyone is curious about these stories but oblivious to the bloody truths that stain them... Ah, but if you're interested in those truths, {name}, I'd be more than willing to share what I know.

It just happens that I've formed a secret alliance with one of our mutual friends – a man of few words, but firm in his convictions and utterly trustworthy. We've reached the same conclusion: The Church as it stands is past saving. Now, he intends to reclaim what is rightfully his, and we shall witness this reckoning unfold upon the snowfields, together.

Northland is ruled by the law of the jungle – a place where only those who have a heart of stone can endure the cutthroat world of politics and business. That's why I've always strictly adhered to my principles and been so cautious in my dealings with others – to ensure I never showed any so-called "weakness"... But then I met you, and I'm starting to think that... perhaps it's time to consider other ways.

Oh? Interested in my cane? It's not something I'd let just anyone touch. It's a favorite of mine – nice to hold, elegant, and made of very fine materials. Do be careful, though. There's a concealed blade inside, so you wouldn't want to be careless with it. It can be quite dangerous.

Hello, {name}. I always seem to run into you at such peculiar hours. You young people really do have interesting schedules. Are you wondering why I'm still awake? Well, let's just say that as you get older, there always seems to be more to mull over, more to plan... Besides, a pleasant conversation like this with you hardly makes it a wasted night, does it?

{name}, you really should be more aware of what's behind you. That's not a good habit to get into. You must know that many rich and powerful people in Northland have lost their lives to an assassin's blade... Oh? So you weren't worried because you knew it was me? Right you are. I suppose I was worrying about nothing.

Relax, {name}. I don't bare my heart to just anyone, you know. Let's put all the maneuvering and scheming aside for a while. Take away the "Cardinal" title, and right now, I'm just a person who wants to enjoy a moment of peace with someone dear to me. Heh, don't look so surprised. After all we've weathered... as my friend, my companion on this journey, what do you say to a drink?

Greetings, everyone. Let's see if today's game proves to be an exciting one. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm ready whenever you are.

This exquisitely cut, translucent emerald is timeless and eternal... It reminds me of our friendship. How have you been, {name}? It's Saturne, what a pleasure to see you again. You'll always be welcome at my home.

A day like today is certainly busy for a gemstone dealer. And yet, rather than getting caught up in the trade, I'd much prefer to come see you. My many years of business experience have taught me that only things that can't be bought with money are worth investing time in. And today, all my time is for you.
