Rickert

I just still can't believe it, you know? On that day, no one aside from Guts and Caska came back. Judeau, Corkus, Pippin, Not one came back.


Rickert

I don't know what actually happened that day.


Rickert

Guts wouldn't tell me anything, and I was afraid...


Rickert

I mean, everything and everyone... It was all over. I thought it had been all for naught...


Rickert

But, you're alive! I didn't think I'd meet with you like this...

Griffith:

You never change, do you?

Even before you speak, you're waving your sword around. No... It's rather like...

With the same face. ...and the same smile...


Griffith:

...you're just like when I first met you.

Guts (thinking):

AND THE SAME DAMNED FACE... HE THINKS HE CAN JUST TALK TO ME?!


Guts:

Bastard..!! What the hell'd you come here for?!


Griffith

To see you. Besides, there was quite an uproar at the tower(danzai tower, I.E. the tower of retribution, or whatever) I really didn't have time to speak to you three (guts, caska, and rickert, likely)
