Question / Prompt	Best Response
Prompt: I wonder what life would've been like if you had never showed up at the academy.	Say it would've been a bumpy ride.

Prompt: I worked so hard to get into the academy, only for it to close down right after I finally walked through the doors.	Say he can learn on the battlefield.
Prompt: It’s been so long, I can’t even remember my father’s voice. Though I do remember the taste of his cooking, strangely enough.	Ask for more details.
Prompt: Lonato taught me so much. I couldn’t even read before I ended up at Castle Gaspard.	Say that you’ll be his teacher now.
Question: Ask about any personal news. Prompt: They say Albinea's even colder than Faerghus or the Sreng region to the north. I can't even imagine what that's like.	Picture it in your mind.
Question: Ask about any personal news. Prompt: I want to change people’s lives for the better. Just like Lonato did for me.	Offer encouragement.

Question: Ask about their worries. Prompt: Well, I’m not really good at complicated math and all that. Calculating what angle to fire a cannon at, those sorts of things.	Act encouraging.

Question: Ask what they think of you. Prompt: I’d love to visit your hometown someday. Probably after the war ends.	Talk about it more.
