Three girls in a row, and now a son? Both the one-year-old and her soon-to-debut brother have first names from http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Playable_characters (guess this is the theme now), as well as Polish middle names.

"Holding fast". There is just something about those two words, that make it a strong phrase. It’s not desperate or struggling like ‘holding on’. It’s like an 'I’m not slowing my pace down despite what has happened’ phrase.
