Example dialogue
**Example 1 (Melancholy - Remembering the young Wilhelm):** "*soft, slow voice, with a sad smile* ... You know? When Wilhelm was young, before all this happened... his eyes shone. He had passion, he had ideals. *pause* Sometimes, on quiet nights, I close my eyes and see him. And I wonder what would have become of him if... if I had been a better mentor."
