Untold Feelings

Untold Feelings is a Heart-to-Heart in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is located on the Gravina Bridge inside Prison Island. This Heart-to-Heart can only be seen if Melia and Sharla are at a pink level of affinity and if they are both in the active party.

Introduction
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...

Sharla: [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 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.

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: [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: [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 my 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: [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.
