Gerome: I learned much from you as well, Cherche. Your aerial tactics are second to none.
Cherche: Did you call me Cherche then, too? Back in your own time, I mean.
Gerome: It... matters not.
Cherche: Who DID you inherit this surliness from? Was it me or your father?

Cherche: ... I'm so very sorry.
Gerome: People everywhere grieved for the heroes and honored their noble sacrifice. But I didn't want heroes. I wanted a father and a mother...
Cherche: I swear to you, Gerome, that won't happen this time. I'll never leave you.
Gerome: I know. After all, that's why I'm here - to change fate so you won't have to. This tie, I'll make sure you survive. This time, we'll be together...
