"No matter how many times I tell him to get lost, the lovesick fool just won't leave me alone." —Mathilda

Love Unrequited is a side story in Octopath Traveler. It is activated by speaking to Mathilda in Rippletide.

Use the Challenge/Provoke Path Action to start the fight with Tony, but lose to him or flee. Winning the fight has no effect on the story.

Having witnessed firsthand Tony's courage and honor, Mathilda joyously agreed to grant him her hand in marriage.

Alternatively, use the Guide/Allure Path Action to bring Tony's Mother to him.

No longer pestered by Tony's persistent confessions, Mathilda was able to return to living a peaceful life.
