: I didn't expect the line to be this long...
: Should get here earlier next time.

: No, I haven't. What are you asking me that all of a sudden?
: No, was she lining up just now?

: Huh?
: Did something happen to Granny?

: Let's go back now and wait for her!

:Rina: How are you, Manager? Has Granny been to your store lately?
: No. Has something happened?
::
:Rina: I obtained the Crest of Waves replica trophy this morning and went to take it over to her, but the place was empty, and her door was ajar.
:Rina: The neighbors say she caused a commotion late last night, banging on doors claiming a Hollow was coming, and she was going to White Wave Hospital to save the sweetcakes.
:Rina: She's been searching for sweetcakes everywhere for weeks now, so nobody took it seriously, and they convinced her to go back to her room and go to sleep, but by morning she'd disappeared.
:Rina: She often goes out early to look for the sweetcakes, but this is the first time she hasn't locked her door and the first time she's mentioned White Waves Hospital. It just seems odd.
:Rina: I've filed a missing person report to Public Security, so I'm just waiting to hear from them now.
: To White Waves Hospital to save the sweetcakes...
::
:Fairy: Searching for information on White Waves Hospital...
:Fairy: White Waves Hospital is a renowned large-scale comprehensive medical facility in New Eridu. Earlier records go back 41 years to when it was forced to relocate due to a Hollow disaster.
: Wait, 41 years ago...
::
:Fairy: With funding from both the government and the public, White Wave Hospital, which had been relocated several times, retained most of its medical resources. Its symbol is a white wave.
:Rina: A white wave... Is it a coincidence, or have we been wrong from the start?
:Rina: The beauty pageant, the hospital, the wave... There must be a connection between the three...
:Rina: If you'll excuse me Manager, I'm going to contact a friend who works in medicine to investigate.
: Let me know if you hear anything about Granny.
::
:Rina: As, well, as my current client, I must ask you to forgive her rudeness. I'm her maid, so please, allow me to remember you name in her stead.
:Rina: Well then, I'll be going. Please don't let my affairs affect you. You have your own business to run, after all.

: But I'm still concerned...
: But I still kinda care...

:Fairy: Master: Considering the current scenario, I suggest enabling full network data collection functions. By counting up and comparing the target's courses of action over the past 34 hours, I can quickly analyze its most likely active location.
: 
:Fairy: Disclaimer: This calculation will connect to a large number of network interfaces and features multiple sets of parallel computing units. Power consumption cannot be kept within the daily fixed range. In other words: it is very energy-intensive, and I estimate a 55% increase in this month's power bill.
: I knew it. Just 55!
: Let's do it, 55 isn't that much!
:Fairy: Understood. Permission granted by master to waive all liabilities: I have started calculating Granny Leisha's course of action. Calculation complete.
: 
: That extra 55 percent sure went fast!
: That extra 55 percent got spent unceremoniously!
:Fairy: Result: The probability of Granny Leisha having entered the Hollow is 97.1%.
: 
: A Hollow, right? We need to inform Rina, quickly!
: A Hollow, right? We need to send a message to Rina!

;(Message Sweetcake Tea Party)
: Rina, Granny might have gone into the Hollow.
: Rina, it's very likely that Granny is in the Hollow.
:Rina: I never considered that possibility before. Granny has always avoided the Hollow. Why would she go in there by herself...
:Rina: But I believe you. After all, no one knows more about Hollows than you do.
: 
:Rina: Got it. I've also done my investigations here. Although I could report to Public Security and wait for them to arrange a search, I'd rather go find Granny myself and bring her out...
:Rina: After all, I still have some sweetcakes to find, as promised. So, could I ask you to accompany me on a trip to the Hollow, dear guide?
: I got you
: I'm ready
:Rina: Thank you so much, see you in a bit.

: Dear guide! I like the sound of that!

: Please, call me Manager.

:Rina: Unfortunately, I cannot base my terms of address on personal preference~ Using the correct titles in the right situations is important etiquette at Victoria Housekeeping.
:Rina: Now, let's get back to Granny. Based on our current intel, I'm certain her Cognitive Corruption Syndrome is getting worse...
:Rina: Her memory has already regressed to that day 41 years ago.
: 41 years ago?
::
: That day?
::
:Rina: Yes, the Miss Metropolitan dropout incident and the White Waves Hospital Hollow disaster both happened on the same day, and Granny Leisha was involved in both.
: But what's this got to do with sweetcakes?
::
:Rina: There is a connection — a big one. The sweetcakes are the link between these two events and have been the source of strife in Granny's heart for 41 years.
:Rina: It's a long story, I had to contact a lot of people and piece it all together... But we don't have much time, so let's talk on the way.

:Rina: Granny Leisha from 41 years ago...
:Rina: She'd have been around my age now.
----
:Rina: She worked as a nurse at the White Waves Hospital Hollow back then.
:Rina: She was in charge of taking care of the newborns.
:Granny Leisha: Don't just smile at me. Go to sleep already...
:Granny Leisha: The more sleep you get, the quicker you'll grow...
:Granny Leisha: You're drooling... let me wipe it off...
:Baby: Waaah! Waaaaah!
:Granny Leisha: Hey! that's quite the set of pipes you got...
:Granny Leisha: Can you keep it down? you're going to frighten the other babies...
:Baby: Waaah! Waaaaah!
:Rina: The hospital was short-handed...
:Rina: So Granny Leisha was always busy.
:Rina: Still, she loved her work.
:Rina: Of course, aside from her work...
:Rina: She had other things she wanted to accomplish.
:Rina: Oh dear, looks like we've got a bit of situation.
:Rina: Let's tackle the issue at hand first.

:Granny Leisha: Not here... or here!
:Rina: Oh good, we've found her, and she doesn't look hurt, just... not in a stable emotional state.
:Granny Leisha: I lost all the sweetcakes! The sweetcake with a silly smile, the sweetcake with a loud voice, and the drooling sweetcake! I couldn't protect any of them...
: Didn't you say the sweetcakes were all saved?
::
:Rina: Yes, I'm quite certain they were all saved. There's only one explanation — She doesn't even remember them being saved...
:Rina: Her memory has regressed to the night she was at the hospital, so she can only search for her missing sweetcakes. For her, the conclusion no longer exists.
:Rina: Granny Leisha, do you remember me? I'm Rina, and the New Eridu Housekeeping Association appointed me to help you...
:Granny Leisha: Ah, sweetcake... It's a sweetcake!
:
:Granny Leisha: Don't be scared. Even if you're all that's left, I'll protect you...
:Fairy: Multiple Ethereals detected, rapidly approaching this area.
: We need to leave!

::Rina: She became a maternity nurse, just like you
::Rina: The loud sweetcake doesn't talk much over the phone
::Rina: But he said he'll come see you... right after his concert finishes
::Rina: The drooling sweetcakes has already become a senior investigator
::Rina: He might be off fighting Ethereals as we speak

:Rina: We're out of danger, and Granny Leisha has calmed down. How are you feeling? Do you recognize me now?
:Granny Leisha: You look familiar... I think I've seen you before... on TV?
:Rina: It's okay if you don't remember me, but do you still remember looking for the sweetcakes?
:Granny Leisha: Sweetcakes? Not a fan of cakes. They're sticky and dry out your mouth.
 She doesn't even remember the sweetcakes?
::
 She forgot that too...
::
:Rina: Do you remember anything that happened the last few days? What you had for breakfast, where you were, and who you spoke to yesterday?
:Granny Leisha: Hmmm... No, I don't remember...
:Granny Leisha: Ah... Oh, I remember now, I'd lost something for a long time, and a kind soul helped me find it.
:Granny Leisha: Oh... What was it I lost... I can't recall... Um... And who was it that helped me...
:Rina: That's okay, as long as you found it, the who isn't important.
:Rina: I'll remember all the unimportant details for you.
:Rina: Well now, I'd already contacted all the "sweetcakes" before we went into the Hollow. They're on their way to Granny's place, so we'd best be getting back.

;(Cutscene "A Promise for the Future" plays)
:Association Staff: Ah, there you are, Miss Rina! I'm your contact from the New Eridu Housekeeping Association. Regarding you call, did you have an update for us?
:Rina: Yes, I've completed the assessment. Shall we discuss the specifics at Granny's house?
:Association Staff: Ah, about that, Miss Rina... i have to apologize! After double-checking we realized she wasn't the client for your assessment!
:Rina: Hm? What do you mean?
:Association Staff: We got her mixed up with a lady of the same name, Leisha Christie!
:Association Staff: Actually, this elderly lady came to the association a few times saying she's looking for her sweetcakes, but staff always got rid of her.
:Association Staff: But someone got careless that day... They let her in the assessment reception room and then... well, the rest was a coincidence.
:Rina: If it weren't for carelessness and coincidence, she'd still be out there searching... so things turned out okay.
:Association Staff: As for the official assessment, could I ask you to file with the association as soon as possible...?
:Rina: Later perhaps. I need to get her home first. There are several people waiting for her.
:Association Staff: I—I'll go with you! Perhaps there's some kind of compensation the Housekeeping Association can offer...
:Rina: Well then... I'll come see you at the store as soon as I'm finished.
----
:Rina: Hello, Manager. I appreciate your help these last few days.
: How is Granny?
::
:Rina: The bad news is her memory is in severe decline. She doesn't recognize anyone anymore, let alone her "sweetcakes."
:Rina: But the rest is good news. The Housekeeping Association contacted a suitable nursing home for her, and the "sweetcakes" all agreed to visit her on different days.
:Rina: She may not remember them, but everyone is looking forward to spending time with her. Perhaps one day she'll remember something.
: Perhaps one day there'll be a cure...
::
:Rina: That would be nice... Cognitive Corruption Syndrome...
:Rina: Who knows... I've been in the Hollows for so long, perhaps I have it without even realizing.
:Rina: When I'm old, I might be looking for sweetcakes just like Granny Leisha... No, I'll probably be far more stubborn, rebellious, and unwilling to listen to her.
: Rina is looking for "sweetcakes"...
::
: Don't forget to bring me along!
::
:Rina: It's a promise then, when that day comes...
:Rina: Don't be put off when I turn into Granny Rina and stick with me until I find my sweetcakes.
