==Dialogue==
;(First interaction)
:Rolan: Wow... Dreamflux Fortress is truly wonderful! This atmosphere, this lighting... It is all material! I have not felt my thoughts rush like this in some time. It feels amazing!
:Rolan: It's just a shame that everyone I met along the way was so normal... If only I could have encountered a few more memetic monsters...
:Rolan: 
: Hello, I am "Death."
::Rolan: "Death"!? ...What? You look nothing like that monster.
: Is this a performance art piece?
::Rolan: Ah, S—Sorry! I'm just here collecting material. I didn't mean to disturb you...
:Rolan: Are you... a Dreamflux Reef native? Or are you a guest who stumbled upon this place by mistake? Would you care to share with me your terrifying... I mean interesting stories in life outside the dream? Please, this is very important to me.

;(If Rolan's Emotion is set to Calm)
:Rolan: I suddenly realized a serious problem...
: Do you want to chat?
::Rolan: Of course! Just a moment. Let me find my pen and paper...
:: Who are you?
:::Rolan: Oh, me? I'm just a small-time manga artist... I draw horror and supernatural-themed manga for my own entertainment.
:::Rolan: This kind of stuff is not in high demand, so I don't have many readers. Although, friends who gather around my work all share a common topic.... We've all become very close.
:::Rolan: There is nothing wrong with this... I'm quite satisfied, at least. After all, "the wider the net you cast, the more fish you catch..." I'm not great at dealing with complex social interactions. I just want to create, and avoid trouble as much as possible.
:: What works have you made?
:::Rolan: Normally I just draw works and themes that I enjoy myself. A puppet that comes to life at night, ink that transforms into demons... Things like that.
:::Rolan: Memetic monsters are also a source of inspiration for me. I've been looking into an urban legend about "Death"... That search brought me stumbling here.
:::Rolan: Fortunately, this has worked out wonderfully! I can feel inspiration flooding my mind endlessly... I have a feeling that a masterpiece that will shake the artistic world is soon to be born from my pen!
:::Rolan: The only problem is... How do I get back...?
:: That's enough chit-chat for now.
:::Rolan: Oh? You've got nothing to share with me? Okay then...
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Rolan: Take care. If you come across any terrifying— interesting experiences, you can always come back and share them with me!

;(If Rolan's Emotion is set to Angry)
:Rolan: Hmph, this place is much more peaceful than the Twelve Hours.
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Rolan: Take care. If you come across any terrifying— interesting experiences, you can always come back and share them with me!

;(If Rolan's Emotion is set to Happy)
:Rolan: Dreamflux Fortress is truly wonderful... Hehe.
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Rolan: Take care. If you come across any terrifying— interesting experiences, you can always come back and share them with me!

;(If Rolan's Emotion is set to Sad)
:Rolan: Is this... really the life I want?
: That's all. Bye-bye.
::Rolan: Take care. If you come across any terrifying— interesting experiences, you can always come back and share them with me!

:::Rolan: If things are as I expect, the unexpected has occurred... Though I have collected a great deal of inspiration, I have lost my way back from here.
:::Rolan: Forget it. I'm here now... I'll just take a good stroll around here, like I'm on holiday.
::
:::Rolan: Speaking of, there's something quite funny and frustrating: The most valuable thing I gained from these few days in the Dreamflux Reef was not "inspiration" at all, but "peace."
:::Rolan: Before, when I would gather materials in the dream, you could say I was just banging my head into a brick wall. I'd politely ask these dream-obsessed, upstanding, moral people for advice, but they couldn't give me a straight answer. What's more, they'd go on a tirade about how I didn't understand the rules of the dream.
:::Rolan: Then, they'd talk in circles and attempt to teach me the manners of high society. After I understood that combo and tried to dig for more creative inspiration from them, I realized that this was all they had to show for their entire lives.
:::Rolan: Ah, this dream... Everyone must adorn themselves in the finest wear and follow these strange rules, or they're seen as uncultured and unrefined.
:::Rolan: But, I just want to do something I enjoy. Why do I need these things? It was simply torturous...
::
:::Rolan: After spending all that time in the Golden Hour, even the trashcans of the Dreamflux Reef start to look beautiful... No, I'm being serious.
::;(First time)
::::Rolan: Did you know? When I first got here, I saw a restaurant right next to a waste collection station... It gave me the shivers...
::::Rolan: But, I gradually grew accustomed to all this... At least now I can sit on the roadside without making faces, and talk with people while eating.
::::Rolan: And if I'm honest, the food in the restaurant didn't look great, but it didn't taste bad at all. Though the living conditions in the Dreamflux Reef may be nothing to write home about, the atmosphere is actually very comfortable.
::::Rolan: Come to think of it, I saw some small souvenirs in a street-side store a while ago. I thought they looked cute, so I bought a few extra... Thank you for talking with me. Have a thank-you gift.

::::Rolan: If I'm honest, the living conditions in the Dreamflux Reef may not be anything to write home about. But, the atmosphere is not bad at all.

:::Rolan: If I'm honest, , I've been thinking the past few days... Maybe I should just live here and not bother going back?
:::Rolan: Now I'm talking about it, I have problems with my family. I have many siblings who are leading figures in various industries. Me? I'm just doing something I enjoy...
:::Rolan: You understand. Even though I'm not making much money, I can eat and sleep soundly. I'm quite content. But, my parents are always criticizing me, telling me I'm useless, and I can't do anything right...
:::Rolan: I've had enough. I really have... But, sometimes I do think that they have a point... Can I really call the state of my life now good?
:::Rolan: Sometimes I... Ah, it's really complicated. I don't know where my path is, so I just have to keep muddling along...
:::Rolan: Is this... really the life I want?
