(In the Twilight Forest dimension…)

Natsuki: “Uh…where are we? I thought we were supposed to have a club meeting today, but this is a FOREST - not the clubroom. Not to mention, it’s perpetually night here…”

Monika: “I don’t know, Natsuki. Maybe we took a wrong turn or something. But, at least it’s peaceful here. And look, there’s some kind of magical glow coming from that direction. Let’s go check it out!”

Sayori: “Ooh, that sounds exciting! Let’s go see what it is!”

Yuri: “I must say, this place is quite enchanting. The air is so fresh and clean. It feels like we’re in a whole different world.”

(The girls make their way towards the glowing light, unsure of what they will find in this mysterious forest. Just then, they stumble across what appears to be a book.)

Monika: “Hey, what’s this? It looks like a book of fairy tales or something.”

Natsuki: “Let me see that. Huh, it’s written in some kind of ancient language. I can’t make heads or tails of it.”

Yuri: “I think I can make sense of it…‘Welcome to the Twilight Forest - a dimension where the moon constantly shines and mysteries abound. Your journey here will be split into three biomes after you defeat the Twilight Lich - the cloud of mosquitoes in the Swamp will dissipate, the blizzard blowing through the Snowy Forest will cease, and the blindness curse on the Dark Forest will be lifted. Only after you defeat the big bosses of those three biomes - the Hydra in the swamps, the Snow Queen in the Snowy Forest, and the Ur-Ghast in the Dark Forest - will the acidic downpour in the Highlands come to an end. Then, after burning your way through the Thornlands with the Lamp of Cinders, you will finally reach the Final Castle - where Frotheru, the Executor Dragon, awaits. Good luck, travelers. May the moon guide your way.’”

Sayori: “Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure! Are we up for the challenge?”

Monika: “Of course we are! We may not have our usual club activities here, but this seems like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let’s explore this Twilight Forest and see what wonders await us!”

Yuri: “I agree. This place may be dangerous, but I believe we can face whatever challenges come our way together. Let’s embark on this journey and see where it takes us.”

{LICH’S TOWER}

Monika: “…there’s some kind of barrier surrounding the tower. I can’t even break any of the blocks around it.”

Natsuki: “Well, we can’t just stand here and do nothing. We have to figure out a way to get past this barrier.”

Yuri: “I believe there may be a hidden lever or switch somewhere that can deactivate the barrier. Let’s search the surrounding area for any clues.”

Sayori: “I found a lever hidden behind some bushes over here! Should I pull it?”

Monika: “Go for it, Sayori. Let’s see if that deactivates the barrier.”

(Sayori pulls the lever, but the barrier surrounding the tower remains intact.)

Natsuki: “Well, that didn’t work. The freaking tower is still protected by that barrier.”

Yuri: “Perhaps there is another lever hidden somewhere. Let’s continue searching the surrounding area for any other clues.”

Monika: “Good idea, Yuri. We can’t give up now. There has to be a way to deactivate that barrier and enter the tower.”

(The girls search around the area, checking every nook and cranny for any hidden levers or switches. Eventually, they come across a second lever hidden behind a cluster of vines.)

Sayori: “I found another lever over here! Should I try pulling it?”

Monika: “Yes, go ahead, Sayori. Let’s hope this one deactivates the barrier.”

(Sayori pulls the lever, but the barrier still remains in place.)

Natsuki: “Ugh, this is getting frustrating! Why won’t this barrier go down?”

Yuri: “Patience, Natsuki. There must be another way to deactivate the barrier. Let’s think outside the box and search for any other hidden levers or mechanisms.”

Monika: “Yuri’s right. We can’t give up now. Let’s keep searching and see if we can find a way to enter the tower.”

(The girls search even more diligently, exploring every corner of the area - to no
