(William): what happened to me...
(Curtis): don't blame yourself. She has a knack for confusing us all.
(William): to tell the truth I did not expect to see her at all, especially now. Don't pay attention to his remarks.
(Curtis): I don't mean to. She must have noticed that I had more responders than at the time.
(William): Fortunately Biakhov and Eurus have left...

The duo hasten to join the others, fearing that an conflict might break out.

(Bhaal): May I know what you are doing here ?
(Sebastiane): I come to see my son after his alignment. Rather, it's up to me to ask you what happened.
(Louis): I'm fine mother. Don't worry. You can go back to your occupations.
(Sebastiane): There is no question that I leave before you are on your feet.

Upon entering the bedroom, William and Curtis weren't expecting their comrade awake. The butler hastens to take him in his arms, the chef just smiles to tell him he's reassured.

(Curtis): Louis !? Is everything alright ? How are you feeling ? I'm sorry I...I didn't mean to.
(Louis): calm down, I'm fine. I just need to rest a little. I know you had no choice.
(Sebastiane): did you do that to my son ? I assure you that you will regret it.
(Curtis): go ahead, I'll wait for you.
(Louis): stop. Mother, leave it. He had no choice. I was the one who told him to do it if he felt it was necessary.
(Sebastiane): what is necessary for you is not for him.
(Louis): he would never have hurt me for nothing. He would've been able to hurt himself for...Curtis, you didn't let him, did you ?
(Curtis): uh...no no, everything is fine. Don't worry.
(Louis): do something Bhaal, please.
(William): Curtis, why didn't you say anything ?
(Curtis): Saving Louis was our priority. It's nothing serious anyway.
(Bhaal): All injuries are serious. Come on, I'll take care of it.
