Nanami died in my first Suikoden II game, but after that I never did let THAT happen... rather humiliating, you see. ;^_^
Timeline-wise, this can take place at practically any point, though it's probably best suited before her 'death', or during the Tinto Village thing (Neclord's Last Stand).
Someday, we'll run away from here.
Just you and me, Jinkou. We'll run away together.
We'll run where no wars can chase us.
We'll run where no evil man can destroy our peace.
We'll run to forever.
I admire your strength so much, Jinkou. I'm always trying to tell you to leave this place, to forget this war...
Yet you fight on.
People need you, and you understand that. People have faith in you, and you never let them down. People love you, and you cherish them with all your heart.
Even when Jowy betrayed us, you never stopped believing in him. You never stopped believing that you and Jowy had stopped being friends.
You never stopped hoping that he'd come back.
I wish I had your strength.
All I want to do is run away. I can't fight in this battle... it's too much for me. I'm too afraid of losing. I'm too afraid of the consequences. I'm too afraid of getting hurt.
It's because I love you, Jinkou, with all my heart. I want to spare you from the pain, spare you from the tears.
I now realize that I can't shield you from everything, but hell would I like to try!
I will protect you, Jinkou. I will protect you from as much pain and sacrifice as I can.
Even if it takes my own life.

"Nanami..."
"What is it, Jinkou?" a smile.
He bites his lip. "Umm... I'm a little worried. You've been acting strangely as of late. Even Viki's beginning to notice."
She waves her hands. "It's nothing, it's nothing!" she kisses his cheek. "Don't worry about it, Jinkou. I'll be fine." her smile grows wider, sweeter. "Thank you for caring."
"...Right..." a last smile before he leaves for the Great Hall.
Her smile fades away into sadness, into determination.
To protect you, I won't give up this fight.
This I swear.
