;(First interaction)
:Singler: There's no such thing as a perfect thing. There's always a flaw...
:Singler: Hello, the night's scenery is really a sight, isn't it? How I wish that time would stop, that we can forever live in this serene dream.
:Singler: Hmm? Looking at your attire, I don't suppose you're from The Family? Let me guess... a guest who was invited here? A Dreamchaser who fantasizes about striking it rich? Or are you... going to surprise me?
: I am a Dreamchaser.
::Singler: ...Liar.
::Singler: Those who chase dreams come from all walks of life, but they all have one thing in common — their deftness in spinning lies. But I do not sense even a tinge of hypocrisy on you.
::Singler: The more silver-tongued one is, the less they understand the joys of silence. Till now, you do not speak unless spoken to. I reckon you aren't the gab-gifted, fomenting sort?
: I am a guest of The Family's.
::Singler: ...Really?
::Singler: I do not doubt you, but there have been far too many imposters of late. Look, members of the Bloodhound Family are on patrol, anxiously on edge, as if something major is about to erupt.
::Singler: If you are a guest, what would you like to know?
:: The Astral Express has arrived at Penacony!
:::Singler: The Astral Express? Oh, that bunch of Nameless scurrying around with their Trailblazer? How admirable! I quite like that.
:: Robin is a member of the Family!?
:::Singler: I knew that. I even know that lady has had some... disagreement with her Family.
:::Singler: Splendid things can never be kept long. You should understand that.
:: Clockie really exists!
:::Singler: You mean, the character Mr. Pocket Watch from the movie... exists in reality?
:::Singler: I can still talk to you, help you do stuff, solve all sorts of problems, and adventure with you?
:::Singler: The wondrous sojourn of a Nameless could perhaps be interesting. Alas, I have no SoulGlad with me — an essential pairing when listening to your tale.
:: I am the fabled Watchmaker!
:::Singler: Ha, hahahaha.
:::Singler: Sorry, it's a funny joke, but I'd rather believe that Clockie really exists.
:: Not telling you.
: Not telling you.
:Singler: ...You are as interesting as I expected.
:Singler: Everyone has secrets, and every city has its dark corners. If its secrets are to be kept away from the public eye, you'd have to learn to be very skilled in burying the truth.
:Singler: If someone you least expect uncovers them, it'll be an awkward sight.

:Singler: Hmm... You look like you have something else on your mind. What is it?

;(If Singler's Emotion is set to Calm)
:Singler: The syrup inebriates the tongue, and the night entrances the eyes. I wonder what prevents your heart from forgetting, to linger?
: I want to chat with you.
::Singler: Sure. But don't forget, this is a dream world: Nothing you see or hear is real.
:: I want to know your secret.
:::Singler: Sure. What do you want to know?
::: Your name...
::::Singler: Heheh, I thought you already knew that? If you suspect that it's a fake name, you can ask the hotel reception.
::::Singler: Believe me, The Family doesn't take kindly to lies.
::: Where you're from...
::::Singler: I come from a faraway place, from a barren planet that you've never heard of, where there is only darkness and endless labor. Our people have to work themselves to the bone to eke a living in the crevices of nature.
::::Singler: Believe me, it's not a pretty story... and probably not a great fit for your aesthetics. I'll leave it at that.
::: Your reason for coming to Penacony...
::::Singler: Not that different from most of the people you've met here. To enjoy, to make a fortune... Who can withstand the allure of a beautiful dream?
::::Singler: Knowing that dreams will get crushed, yet still welcoming the blinding rays of reality with open arms...
::::Singler: Believe me, you'll fall in love with this place in no time.
::: There's nothing else I'd like to ask about.
:: I'd like to ask you out to have some fun.
:::Singler: Ooh! How bold. Dare I take this request as a friendly invite?
:::Singler: First things first: Where would you like to visit?
::: The Dreamscape Sales Store?
::::Singler: That's a good place. You can get to experience the vibrant sights, and revel in a lifestyle you wouldn't otherwise have in real life.
::::Singler: But... I've already seen the dream bubbles in the store.
::: The Penacony Grand Theater?
::::Singler: The theater is amazing! I've never seen such a grand building in real life. It's a wonder only reserved for the Dreamscape — everyone should go see it once.
::::Singler: But... I just got done watching a performance there, and I'm a little tired. Sorry.
::: The hotel's Platinum Suite?
::::Singler: Those rooms are mesmerizing, no? To turn the entire planet into a hotel — that type of creativity and determination are to be admired.
::::Singler: But... I prefer to take a breather outside, so I'm not ready to return yet. Sorry.
::: I have nowhere that I want to go.
:: I don't have any ideas.
::Singler: Boo, over already? It's my turn to ask questions then. I hope you don't mind?
::Singler: ...From my observations, you aren't local, and don't resemble any of those Dreamchasers who harbor fantasies of fortune. You're not caught in the sights of night, and have no interest in climbing the social ladder — you've got other plans.
::Singler: Most importantly... You don't trust The Family, and harbor disbelief in the dream.
::Singler: Then, you wish to obtain the truth to this Dreamscape?
:: I do.
:: I don't.
:: I don't know...
::Singler: I see... I get it.
::Singler: Regardless, I bid you safe journey. Oh, and... If I were you, I'd steer clear of Singler, that investigative reporter.
::Singler: I mean, no one wants to get into trouble while they're enjoying their dreams... Don't you think?
: Can I touch the fluff ball on your head?
::Singler: ...Could you be... pulling my leg?
::Singler: All who live on Penacony know that it is extremely rude to extend such a request to a Pepeshi lady. If you weren't on your best behavior just now, I would've suspected you were some fugitive on the lam.
::Singler: Fine... I have to admit that you have surprised me.
: I don't have any other questions.
::Singler: I see... I get it.
::Singler: Regardless, I bid you safe journey. Oh, and... If I were you, I'd steer clear of Singler, that investigative reporter.
::Singler: I mean, no one wants to get into trouble while they're enjoying their dreams... Don't you think?

;(If Singler's Emotion is set to Angry)
:Singler: ...Hmph, one day I'll dig up everything on The Family, throw it at the feet of everyone, and even trample on it for measure.
:Singler: I'll show those Dreamweavers the ugly truth behind all this wealth!
: Can I touch the fluff ball on your head?
: I don't have any other questions.
----
;(If Singler's Emotion is set to Happy)
:Singler: The world in the dream is splendid indeed, but none of it is real. There is always a price behind such beauty.
:Singler: When I think of such things, I can't help but want to bring the truth to bear, even if I have to shatter its beauty, to shoulder the scorn of many.
: Can I touch the fluff ball on your head?
: I don't have any other questions.
----
;{If Singler's Emotion is set to Sad)
:Singler: I'm getting nowhere... The Family's hands can't be this clean, and there must be a clue somewhere...
:Singler: Where exactly is that place... What am I missing...
: Can I touch the fluff ball on your head?
: I don't have any other questions.

:::Singler: Those rabid dogs of The Family are always on my tail!
:::Dumbfounded, you see Singler whip out a newspaper from her bag. It is wide enough to cover half her body. Sometimes being vertically challenged has its advantages.
:::Singler: Keep your head down, and don't let them see your face. Tsk. Louts, ruffians, scoundrels, cold-hearted bastards, all of them!
:::Singler: Two days ago, at the Dream's Edge, I almost caught them slipping up. But those rabid dogs suddenly rushed me, claiming that I was stealing trade secrets! They even smashed my camera! Is that how Penacony guests are treated?
:::Singler: From that day on, no matter where I went, I would notice people following me... Look, like those few people pretending to be waiting for pick-ups!

::;(First time)
::::Singler: ...
::::For some reason, Singler suddenly sinks into silence. Her brows are sullen, as if she is about to spill some forbidden secret.
::::Singler: You are a trustworthy person, and I think... I want to tell you my real identity. That way, even if I forever disappear from the dream, you will not be surprised.
:::;(Obtain )
::;(Subsequent interactions)
::::Singler: You already know my secret... If I forever disappear from the Dreamscape, I hope you will not be surprised.
:::Singler: I am an investigative reporter. My presence on Penacony is to reveal the conspiracy behind this facade of splendor.
:::Singler: According to my understanding of the rules of this universe, the creation of such perfection always requires a hefty price. Lurking in the closets of The Family, I fear there are unknown sinister acts in motion.
:::Singler: I want to unveil these misdeeds, and present the truth to the public, even if I have to completely shatter this facade of brilliance, even if I invoke the wrath of many.
:::Singler: But... Heh, you must understand, everyone has their own calling and tenacity. And mine is coincidentally fueled by the "truth."
::
:::Singler: I'm getting nowhere... The Family's hands can't be this clean, and there must be a clue somewhere...
:::While the look of tragedy varies among people, you might just be the first person I met who writes scripts on a steno pad like a demon possessed...
:::Singler: Where exactly is that place... What am I missing... Sunday? Something's definitely off with that person, but I can't put my finger on what... Robin? What does that little bird know? And she's not a trifle to handle either...
:::Singler: My instincts... Could I have made a mistake? Will this prolific investigative reporter meet her demise here...
::;(First time only)
::::Singler: Aahhh... I only have enough savings to stay in this hotel for two weeks. What do I do after that... Will I have to help with washing the dishes and mopping the floor?
::::Singler: If I can't come up with any decent headlines, the agency will surely fire me...
::::Singler: You... Do you have any dispensable cash on you? Care to support righteous investigative journalism?
:::: I'll donate a little.
::::;(Submit )
:::::Singler: Ah... Thank you. It's not much, but I can hold out for a few more days if I scrimp and save.
:::::Singler: Thank you for supporting my work... This token gift may not be much, but please take it.
::::;(Obtain )
:::: Take it all!
::::;(Submit )
:::::Singler: S—So much!?
:::::Singler: I... I really don't know how to thank you. This money is enough for me to stay on Penacony for a good while. I will keep racing against time to uncover the truth...
:::::Singler: Thank you for supporting my work... This token gift may not be much, but please take it.
::::;(Obtain )
:::: I really don't want to get involved.
:::::Singler: Is that so... I understand, everyone's here to enjoy the Dreamscape's happy vibes... Who'd ever care about the truth?
:::::Singler: Please leave. I need some time to organize my thoughts...
===The Reverie (Dreamscape)===
;(First interaction)
:Singler: ...You want to talk with me? Of course, the atmosphere is very relaxed, it's perfect for talking about what's on your mind.
: (Chat)
:Singler: As you invited me to talk, you should probably start?
: I want to know what you think about this lounge.
::Singler: I like it a lot! I fear there is nowhere else in the Dreamscape that you can find a place with such a... human touch.
::Singler: It may just be monsters that live here, but they're a lot kinder and friendly than those visitors. They're a lot warmer than that harmony-touting family, too!
::Singler: If you want somewhere that can really help you relax, you won't find better than here.
: I want to know what you think about me.
::Singler: ...You? That's a real direct way of speaking to someone you're chatting with. You really don't seem to grasp the concept of taking it slow.
::Singler: From what I have learned in this lounge, both the owner and the monsters seem to trust you a lot. This means that you are at least a kind person, you don't just see them as things you can order around as you please.
::Singler: Your empathy already makes you far better than the people drowning in this Dreamscape and only seeking to indulge in fun. I think you are quite outstanding — It's not flattery. I really do think so.

;(Subsequent interactions)
:You attempt to engage in conversation with the customer before you, but they seem immersed in the leisurely ambiance of the lounge, oblivious to your presence.
