➶ five (video) (before the event)
[ As with her last broadcast, the Warden looks particularly sad today, appearing over the network with a brightness to her eyes and the expression of someone with a heavy weight on her shoulders. ]
... If you knew Leliana, spymaster for the Inquisition... she's seemingly vanished from here. I've heard that they've gone back home if their quarters are emptied, and hers are bare.
[ Now that she's gone, Robyn may never see her again. She's stricken with the grief of that thought, momentarily, but she remembers herself and presses on. ]
Leliana was my closest friend. When we first met, she joined our cause without much incentive. We had no forces or reputation. [ Not a good reputation, anyway. ] She pledged her skills because she believed. I always felt inspired by her faith. I still do.
[ Leliana, who had been like a sister. Leliana, who had comforted her through the worst of things. ]
She was - is - an incredible woman. [ She was one of the two who remembered Robyn at all. ] I hope we're all able to see her again.
[ "The one who repents, who has faith, unshaken by the darkness of the world, she shall know true peace." If only. ]
It can be hard to manage hope. [ She speaks quietly, before ending the broadcast. ]

Robyn's announcement more than warrants an interruption from his drills and training, however. ]
You're sure? [ He, too, was saddened by her disappearance, but knew it would strike Robyn all the harder, since they'd shared memories and experiences together before coming here.
He sighs. ] I'm sorry, Robyn. Are you... alright?

[ Time they would never have had otherwise. It pains her to know that Leliana wouldn't remember their reunion. ]
What about you? [ She presses instead. ] She was your spymaster, your friend.
