No special requirements to unlock. This conversation rewards the player with Bond +10.

This conversation includes voice acting.

Want to go shopping with me?
Player Selection
▸ Sure.
Nikki
Let's get some new items for the season!
Player Selection
▸ You follow the newest styles?
Nikki
I just enjoy trying all sorts of unique styles.
What about you? Do you have a favorite style? [Player]?
Player Selection
▸ Like you, I'd try anything.
▸ I've got a favorite palette.
▸ I've got a favorite style.
Nikki
What style is it?
Player Selection
▸ Cool clothes.
Nikki
Oh, I know [text cuts off]
▸ Cute clothes.
▸ Sexy, elegant clothes.
Nikki
If you can't decide whether to buy something, I can help!
[*If the player told Nikki they were a girl*]

Nikki
I'm good at picking outfits for girls, you know!
[*Receive Bond +10*]

Nikki
It's my job! I have to learn everything I can.

## Math

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation rewards the player with Bond +10.

This conversation includes no voice acting.

If one side of a rectangle is 8m long, and...
Player Selection
▸ What are you doing, Nikki?
Nikki
Trying my hand at an elementary school math pr [text cuts off]
Give me a [text cuts off]
The length of the remaining side should be...
Player Selection
▸ 6 meters.
Nikki
Wow, you solved it so quickly!
Player Selection
▸ It's a simple question.
▸ 5 meters
▸ I wouldn't know.
Nikki
So the answer is... 6 meters!
Player Selection
▸ Why are you doing math problems anyway?
Nikki
The neighbor's kid, Dot, kept sending me her homework.
So I've become her personal calculator bot.
Player Selection
▸ You can just say no.
Nikki
I can't say no to a girl with such a sweet voice!
Kids, you know... they're very good at getting their way.
Player Selection
▸ I totally get it.
▸ Sometimes they can be kinda cute.
Nikki
I ran into Dot one day when I was ill.
She gave me some pill bugs to cheer me up.
Gave me quite the scare...
Player Selection
▸ You sure she's not trying to scare you?
Nikki
No, she just wanted me to smile!
I guess all kids are both angels and demons.
Hey, are you free this weekend?
Player Selection
▸ I have a bad feeling about this...
Nikki
My neighbor asked me to babysit Dot. Can you help--
Player Selection
▸ I'm busy.
▸ Sure.
Nikki
Now I don't have to deal with this nightmare alone!
Player Selection
▸ ...
Nikki
The kid might love you!

## Danger

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation rewards the player with Bond +10.

This conversation includes no voice acting.

I saw something terrifying on the news today, [player].
Player Selection
▸ What is it?
Nikki
A girl got mugged on her way home from a party at night.
Player Selection
▸ Sounds horrible.
▸ Is she okay?
Nikki
She's unharmed.
Nikki
Her friend happened to call her at that very moment.
They must be telepathic...
She couldn't tell her friend outright what was happening since the mugger was right there.
So she said "My boyfriend is here to pick me up. You should go home."
Player Selection
▸ And then?
Nikki
Her friend was also at the party, so she was nearby.
She came back for her right away when she heard that.
The mugger fled when he saw someone else approaching.
Player Selection
▸ How did the friend tell something's up?
▸ Her friend caught on very quickly!
Nikki
Exactly.
Nikki
She didn't have a boyfriend, so the friend knew something's up.
But it's still pretty horrible.
What if the friend didn't notice anything wrong?
What if she laughed and said "what boyfriend?"
Player Selection
▸ That's horrible indeed.
Nikki
[Player], maybe we should set a "password" like that too.
If one of us is in trouble, we can use that as a signal.
Player Selection
▸ Good idea!
Nikki
Yeah! Right?
▸ Sounds silly to me.
Nikki
It should sound casual, inconspicuous...
A normal passer-by can't find it suspicious.
Or else the baddies can tell we're asking for help.
What password fits the bill?
Any ideas, [player]?
Player Selection
▸ I'll be home late tonight.
▸ The weather is nice today.
▸ Get some dog food, we ran out.
Nikki
Oh? That's a good idea!
We can't keep a dog because of Momo.
And it's a normal sentence to say in any situation.
Nikki
You're so clever, [player]!
It's decided, then! We use this password if we're in danger.
You'd better not forget!
[*Receive Bond +10*]

Player Selection
▸ I won't.
Nikki
You're my top emergency contact from now on.
If I find myself in danger someday...
This password can come in useful!
[*End conversation*]

## Drizzlebloom

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation rewards the player with Bond +10.

The flower mentioned in this conversation is an actual item that can be obtained within the game. Apparently, Nikki gave the flower its name.

[Player], did you know? There's a special kind of flower that becomes transparent when wet.
Player Selection
▸ Is that a thing?
Nikki
I was really surprised when I first saw one, too.
▸ I know, I know!
▸ It's not that special.
Nikki
I happened to be really upset that day...
Player Selection
▸ Why? What happened?
Nikki
I can't remember. Maybe my design was rejected by the teacher and I was disappointed.
It was a rainy day, and I saw the flower beside the road.
A lovely white flower turned transparent, like a soft snowflake in the rain.
It helped me forget my woes. Since then, every time it rains, I'd feel like visiting it.
It disappeared soon after that day, though. I didn't even know what it's called.
I can't remember what I was upset about, but I still remember the moment I discovered it so vividly.
It was such a plain white flower... yet so special.
Maybe humans are like that too, like my little drizzlebloom.
Player Selection
▸ Drizzlebloom?
Nikki
It's the name I gave it.
It made me believe that I could be special in my own way too.
I hope I can see it again the next time it rains.

## Vitamins

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation rewards the player with a Melody of Time.

Oh no, I forgot to take my vitamins yesterday!
Player Selection
▸ Why vitamins? Are you sick?
Nikki
It's just some daily supplements.
Player Selection
▸ Why have you started taking those?
Nikki

Vitamins, tea, a healthy sleep schedule, long walks...
It's so hard to maintain a healthy life, though.
Player Selection
▸ Sounds healthy indeed.
▸ Aren't you still too young for that?
Nikki
I stay on my phone even when I should be sleeping.
Then I end up with panda eyes that I cover with makeup.
I need to fix my life!
Player Selection
▸ Sounds like a fun life, though.
Nikki
Should I jog and drink milk tea at the same time?
Player Selection
▸ Killing two birds with one stone!
Nikki
That just sounds weird, though.
You're right, I guess.
I should still take my vitamins, though.
And try not to stay up too late.
I hope I stay healthy. You too, [player].

## Dog at the Cafe

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation gives the player no rewards.

This conversation includes no voice acting.

I feel a bit... bittersweet, [player]...
Player Selection
▸ Why? what's wrong?
Nikki
The dog at the cafe finally found his owner.
Player Selection
▸ Dog?
Nikki
A few days ago, a dog appeared at the cafe.
Player Selection
▸ Was it a stray?
Nikki
Didn't look like it, but we couldn't find a tag either.
So we made a post online about him.
Night fell, but the owner didn't come.
We tried to bring him in the cafe but he kept struggling.
He just wouldn't leave the cafe entrance.
As if he wanted to wait there for his master.
Player Selection
▸ I see...
Nikki
He wouldn't leave the door even on rainy days.
We had to make him a small bed and get him some food.
Player Selection
▸ Maybe he was abandoned?
Nikki
We had no idea either.
But he was really quiet and sweet.
The most adorable doggo!
A regular customer even wanted to adopt him.
[*If the player stated in a previous conversation that they like animals*]

Nikki
You like animals, right?
If you saw him, you'd fall in love too.
Nikki
Guess what name we gave him?
Player Selection
▸ No way I can guess that!
▸ Maybe... Buddy?
Nikki
How did you know?
Player Selection
▸ It's your style. What happened next?
Nikki
He suddenly started barking today before I got off work.
I rushed out and saw...
Player Selection
▸ You saw?
Nikki
Buddy being embraced by an old man.
Player Selection
▸ Oh, was he Buddy's master?
Nikki
Yeah. The dog's real name was Bobby.
The old man couldn't remember where he lost Bobby.
So he had been searching around the plaza for days.
Player Selection
▸ That's a happy ending, then!
Nikki
I'm glad the two are finally back together!
Still, it's a bit sad...
Player Selection
▸ Because you won't see Bubby anymore? [*In-game text refers to the dog as Bubby instead of Buddy or Bobby*]
Nikki
Uh huh.
Player Selection
▸ You have Momo, though.
▸ You can go visit him!
Nikki
Okay!
I'll get to see the nice old man too.
Player Selection
▸ That'd be nice.

## Salary

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation rewards the player with Bond +10.

This conversation includes no voice acting.

I got my salary today!
I just really want to buy stuff! For me, Momo and you...
Player Selection
▸ Oh? You're buying something for me?
Nikki
It's nothing... I'm not telling you yet!
Oh, I can also get tickets to the play I wanted to see.
It feels great to earn my own money.
It's different from using my parents' pocket money.
Player Selection
▸ I haven't had a job before.
▸ Yeah, though work can be tiring.
Nikki
It gives me a sense of accomplishment, though.
Nikki
I got 1st place in the schoolwide illustration contest once.
I received a tiny bit of prize money.
It was still a huge encouragement for me, though.
It felt like I was born to draw, after all.
Player Selection
▸ So that's why you have your current job?
Nikki
Maybe, now that I'm thinking about it.
It's great to earn money doing something you love.
Player Selection
▸ That's what I'm doing right now!
Nikki
That must be an amazing feeling.
Player Selection
▸ Yeah!
Nikki
I hope that'll be my life in the future.
I love creating outfits and designing!
▸ Too bad I don't love my current job.
Nikki
Oh dear...
Player Selection
▸ What's up?
Nikki
I bought too much while talking to you. Now I'm broke again!

## RPG

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. Previous conversations (possibly the Shared Victory conversations) may factor into Nikki's dialogue in this conversation. This conversation may reward the player with a Melody of Time.

This conversation includes no voice acting.

This should be the right way...
Player Selection
▸ Are you gaming?
Nikki
Yeah. You arrived just in time! I know you'd like this game.
Player Selection
▸ What game is it?
Nikki
It's called Crescent Realm. You like RPGs, right?
This is a single-player game, though...
Player Selection
▸ I can just sit here and watch you play.
Nikki
Sure. I've just entered a maze, though. Can be confusing.
I've been looking for the next checkpoint for a while now...
Player Selection
▸ I'm really bad at mazes.
▸ I'm great at directions!
Nikki
You're very smart, then.
I've always been bad at getting out of mazes.
I enjoy them, though. They make the game more fascinating.
▸ I've never encountered a maze in a game.
Nikki
Do you know why I like RPGs, [player]?
Player Selection
▸ Why?
Nikki
I can become someone else and experience a different world.
I can grow alongside the NPCs too.
I used to dream of becoming a hero like in the games...
And now, in Miraland, I've really become a heroine!
Still, for my games, there are potions, walkthroughs...
But here in Miraland, if I fail, I lose. It's scary...
Player Selection
▸ You've got me and Momo.
Nikki
I know.
So I'm not afraid.
[*Receive Melody of Time*]
My own RPG will have a happy ending for sure.
▸ You're overthinking.
Nikki
By the way, I bought macarons. We can eat while playing.
You like sweet things, right? Macarons are really sweet.
[*End conversation*]

## Honest Opinion

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation rewards the player with Bond +10.

This conversation includes no voice acting.

Oh? A reminder text from Helz's shop...
It's the third I received this week.
Player Selection
▸ Is there a new sales event?
Nikki
It's just to notify me that new items have been added. If it's a sales event I'd get more texts!
▸ Can you unsubscribe from them?
Nikki
I tried on so many outfits back when we visited the Apple Apparel Group for the first time.
No matter what outfit I was trying, Helz lavished me with praises. Even complimented my hair.
Player Selection
▸ You look good, so you deserve praise.
▸ That's just a sales tactic.
Nikki
I think so too, but did you have to be so direct?
Nikki
Actually, I really appreciate honest advice when outfit-shopping.
Player Selection
▸ Really?
Nikki
I'm sure!
Player Selection
▸ You won't get mad if I'm honest?
Nikki
You mean if you say I look ugly? Look into my eyes...
Player Selection
▸ ...
Nikki
Haha, I'm just kidding! I won't get mad.
▸ Hey, the weather is nice today!
Nikki
As a designer, I want to know your honest thoughts and feelings about outfits.
I'm serious!
Player Selection
▸ I'll be honest next time, then.
Nikki
Yeah. Be honest and serious!

## Spiders

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation rewards the player with Bond +10.

This conversation includes no voice acting.

Whew... that was so terrifying.
Player Selection
▸ What's up?
Nikki
I was watching an animal show... and suddenly they played a segment about spiders!
I got goosebumps everywhere.
Player Selection
▸ You have a phobia?
Nikki
I've been scared of spiders, even tiny ones, since forever.
One crawled onto me and wove a web on my head when I was a kid.
Player Selection
▸ Ah?
Nikki
I was zoning out in granny's garden and it just happened.
I started bawling when I realized.
It was a big spider too! I still remember how it felt...
Player Selection
▸ How long had you been zoning out?
Nikki
I can't remember...
▸ You didn't notice it at all at first?
Nikki
I was a huge daydreamer when I was little.
I thought about stuff like... why chickens lay eggs but dogs don't...
Why smoke would come out of the chimney whenever granny cooks...
Also...
Don't laugh! Dion't all kids think about stuff like that?
Oh, right, back to the spider...
I've been traumatized since that time.
Player Selection
▸ I'm scared of spiders too!
Nikki
Yeah! Aren't they creepy?
▸ I think spiders are fine.
Nikki
I saw one in a hotel cupboard once...
It was tiny, but I was terrified!
Ugh, I should stop talking about it... I'm getting goosebumps again.
At least I'm not as scared of spiders as I was as a kid.
If I see one, I'll... spray pesticide on it.
I can handle it! The non-poisonous ones aren't that bad.
But the poisonous ones don't appear much anyway.
So it's not that scary. I can handle them myself easily--
Player Selection
▸ Look, a spider!
Nikki
Aaaaaah!
Where? Where?
Momo! There's a spider in the house!
Where's my pesticide? Ugh... what to do? What to do?
Player Selection
▸ I'm just kidding.
Nikki
...
Player Selection
▸ You said you could handle them.
Nikki
...I nearly had a heart attack...
Go away! We're no longer friends!
