Untold Feelings (Prison Island - Gravina Bridge)
Sharla: Hey, Melia… I wanted to talk to you. About… you-know-who.
Melia: You mean Shulk?
Sharla: Yeah. I was wondering about… you and him, you know?
Melia: You’re being rather vague, Sharla. What were you wondering?
Sharla: Well, you know… About Shulk… [Have you given up?] –
Melia: Hah. What chance do I have? Do you honestly think there is any room in Shulk’s heart for me?
Sharla: Why would you say that?
Melia: Fiora admitted to me her feelings. She… wants to be with Shulk. I will never best her.
Sharla: So she told you…
Melia: Yet I feel… strangely relieved. As if I can move on with my life and forget this pain in my heart.
Sharla: [Stop putting on a brave face!] – If you didn’t do that all the time, things might go better for you.
Melia: Whatever do you mean?!
Sharla: If you opened yourself up a bit, shared your doubts with others. Before today, I doubted whether you could handle it all, Melia. You’re always telling everyone else not to worry about you.
Melia: We are who we are. I find it difficult to change, as all of us do.
Sharla: Well, I’m only trying to give you some friendly advice. I’d never want you to change too drastically. None of us would. We all like you just how you are!
Melia: Thank you for saying that, Sharla.
Sharla: And next time, whoever you go for, they’ll be putty in your hands!
Melia: I, er, certainly hope so. Thank you, Sharla.
Sharla: Hey, Melia… I wanted to talk to you. About… you-know-who.
Melia: You mean Shulk?
Sharla: Yeah. I was wondering about… you and him, you know?
Melia: You’re being rather vague, Sharla. What were you wondering?

Sharla: So she told you…
Melia: Yet I feel… strangely relieved. As if I can move on with my life and forget this pain in my heart.
Sharla: [I agree. It’s for the best.] + You have to move on or you’ll just feel even worse.
Melia: Indeed. I will not pine over him. There are other fish in the sea.
Sharla: Now you’re talking, Melia. But I wish I found it so easy to put the past behind me…
Melia: What do you mean, Sharla?
Sharla: Oh, nothing. It’s silly really. I’m just finding it hard to forget about… him.
Melia: Gadolt, you mean…
Sharla: His last words to me were ‘I’ve fulfilled me promise’… But why did that mean he had to go and die on me?
Melia: Mourning is a part of acceptance. Try to turn that sadness into a celebration of his life. And I do hope you get together with Reyn. He’ll make you happy.
Sharla: You’re right, Melia, although it’s easier said than done. Thank you.
Sharla: Hey, Melia… I wanted to talk to you. About… you-know-who.
Melia: You mean Shulk?
Sharla: Yeah. I was wondering about… you and him, you know?
Melia: You’re being rather vague, Sharla. What were you wondering?
Sharla: Well, you know… About Shulk… [Do you still like him?] +
Melia: Could you not have simply asked in the first place? Well… I do have something I need to tell you.
Sharla: You had a breakthrough?! Oh, this is great!
Melia: Not a breakthrough, Sharla. In fact, quite the opposite. I have decided to give up.
Sharla: You don’t want to pursue him? Did you at least tell him how you feel?
Melia: I did not. He remains blissfully unaware.
Sharla: [That breaks my heart, Melia.] – How can you just give up without telling him how you feel? You’ll only live to regret it.
Melia: Will I? I am not so sure. I feel I may be happier this way.
Sharla: Hmm. Well, if you’re sure…
Melia: I am. I know that I will cherish the time I spent with Shulk forever. My task is clear. I must see Shulk and Fiora achieve true happiness together.
Sharla: That makes sense I suppose. And anyway, everything’ll be fine! We’re going to find you a nice lad. Imagine the queue for a chance to date a pretty girl like you! It’d probably stretch around both feet of the Bionis!
Melia: You really think so? Thank you, Sharla! I hope you find love again… Maybe even with… you know…
Sharla: What was that? With who, Melia?
Melia: Do not worry, Sharla. It will come to you…
Sharla: Hey, Melia… I wanted to talk to you. About… you-know-who.
Melia: You mean Shulk?
Sharla: Yeah. I was wondering about… you and him, you know?
Melia: You’re being rather vague, Sharla. What were you wondering?

Sharla: You don’t want to pursue him? Did you at least tell him how you feel?
Melia: I did not. He remains blissfully unaware.
Sharla: [That is just like you, Melia.] + Always thinking of others, but secretly hurting inside.
Melia: I-it is not that bad.
Sharla: You don’t fool me for a second. Sharla can tell from a mile away.
Melia: How do you do that? All right. I admit it has been hard. I have already lived for a great number of years. But never before have I experienced these emotions.
Sharla: I’m truly sorry, Melia. I wish I could have done more to help. I should have paid more attention to how you were doing.
Melia: You are not at fault here, Sharla. You have already lost someone. My hurt cannot compare to that.
Sharla: Melia…
Melia: I have decided that Shulk and Fiora deserve a future together. So I shall watch from afar and wish them every happiness.
Sharla: Well… it’s a shame, but maybe it’s for the best. And I’ve no doubt those two will be really happy together.
