## **Story**

* You: Today is opening day, after all!
* Devin: I've never been to the opening of an amusement park before.
* You: Fufu, let's have as much fun as we can!
* You: I do feel kinda bad for Ryu, though. He's only here because he has to work.
* Devin: We can just go see how he's doing later.
* You: I can see it now: "If you're just here to make fun of me, get outta here."
* Devin: That's really just his way of saying hi. Don't worry about it.
* Devin: But I mean, if we have time, I wanna meet up with him.
* Devin: ... There's something I've been wondering about.
* You: What's that?
* Devin: It's... Oh, looks like the gate is open. C'mon, let's head inside.
* Enjoy your time at a brand new theme park! What strange stories will you hear about it...?!

* You: Oh yeah. How about some gum, as a palate cleanser?
* You: I'm pretty sure I has some in my bag... Hm?
* You: There's like a wooden box or something in here... What is this? A music box?
* You: Guess we should look inside, huh? ... Hm? The lid's shut pretty tight...
* You: [BF name], think you can get it open?
* BF: ...
* You: Wh-what's going on?! An earthquake?!
* You: Ngh... [BF name], are you okay?
* You: Where are we...? This is an amusement park... right? What in the world is going on...?
* You: [BF name], what's wrong?! Get a hold of yourself!
* Ryu: Yo, everything okay?!
* You: Ryu!! This is bad! What are we gonna do?! [BF name] is-!!
* Ryu: Calm down! ... [BF name], do you feel sick?
* You: Oh, where's Devin? I'm sure he'd know exactly what to do!
* Ryu: Ah, Devin is...
* Devin: ... Ryu, what happened... to [BF name]?
* Ryu: Hey, didn't I tell you not to move?! You should be sitting!
* You: Devin... You're drenched in sweat. What's wrong?
* Devin: I'm fine. No need... to worry...
* Ryu: Saying that when you're out of breath doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
* Ryu: ... Not that I have a clue what's going on though. Everything suddenly started shaking, and then, here we were.
* Ryu: A little while ago, Devin was down too. I have no idea what's what...
* You: Devin too?! No way...
* Ryu: Oh, what about you? Are you feeling sick? Did you get hurt at all?
* You: I'm completely fine. Not a scratch on me. You seem to be okay too.
* Ryu: Yeah. Looks like the only ones who have gotten sick are [BF name] and Devin.
* Ryu: Anyway, nothing's gonna get done just standing around here, so let's head out and bring these two to the hospital.
* You: R-right...
* Ryu: I wonder if they accept god insurance though...
* You: Really, Ryu?! At a time like this?!
* Ryu: Sorry, my bad...
* You: ... But you know, I do feel a bit better.
* Ryu: ... Alright, can you move? Give [BF name] a hand.
* You: Okay!
* Ryu: Devin, come on! This is no time to be taking a nap! I'll help you walk. Now let's get outta here.
* Devin: I know, I know... Geez, keep your shirt on, will ya?

* You: Mhm, they've calmed down a bit.
* Ryu: I see...
* You: What's going to happen to us...?
* Ryu: Don't be stupid. Nothing's gonna happen. We just need to get out of here as soon as we can.
* You: You're really optimistic, Ryu. Like an iron will of sorts. I'm so jealous.
* Ryu: Is that a compliment, or are you just trying to make fun of me?!
* Ryu: Whatever... More importantly, I found something interesting.
* You: You did? You mean that old, beat up newspaper?
* Ryu: Yeah! "The Nightmare at Dreamland! Amusement Park Scheduled to Close Experiences Disappearance of All Employees."
* Ryu: "28 injured During Construction Work! Location Cursed by Missing Person's Resentment?"
* Ryu: Pretty fishy, huh?
* You: What do the rumors about the amusement park have to do with anything?
* Ryu: We might want to search this room more carefully.
* You: Yeah. Maybe we'll find a clue about how to get out of here.
* Ryu: Did you find something?
* You: Nope, nothing... Not even a map of this place.
* Ryu: So the only thing we know is why the park shut down.
* You: It's so messed up... To think it was forced to close because it was being used to support political funds.
* Ryu: They were supposed to be making kids' dreams come true, but instead, rotton adults were lining their pockets.
* Ryu: That's just sad.
* You: You think that that resentment became a curse?
* Ryu: I mean, it's not like I don't understand that feeling...
* Ryu: But... To destroy stores where the park used to be, or to cause injury to complete strangers... That's just not right.
* Ryu: That's not the way to take out your frustrations!
* Devin: No... I think you got it wrong...
* You: Devin... Should you be up and about?
* Devin: Yeah... It's no problem...
* Ryu: It's a big problem! I told you to sleep!
* Devin: Look... The person who placed the "curse"... This is their diary.
* Ryu: Something in there?
* Devin: The words are written as if the writer was just barely hanging on... These may have been their last words...
* I was deceived and had everything stolen from me. It was as if losing one's own precious child.
* God, I beg for salvation.
* You: Those are the writer's last words?
* Devin: They wanted to be saved... Saved from the hatred that tortured them...
* Devin: Certainly a lot of people might have gotten hurt in the process... But... Maybe they just wanted to be found...
* Devin: And look. We're here, right...? So, that's what those actions were saying...
* You: Devin?!
* Ryu: ... Geez. That's why I was telling you to get some rest!
* You: What should we do...?
* Ryu: Can you walk?
* You: Mhm, I'm okay.
* Ryu: ... We should get going. I thought we should rest for a while, but they only seem to be getting worse.
* You: (It does seem like they're getting paler...)
* You: Come on, Ryu. We have to find that exit.
* Ryu: Got it. Follow my lead!

* Ryu: No good. It's locked. It won't even budge!
* You: And it's too tall to climb...
* You: What's that sound...? A music box? It's kind of unsettling...
* Devin: Ryu... They caught up.
* Ryu: You gotta be kidding me! Where are we supposed to run to now?!
* Devin: Ngh...!!
* You: Devin! [BF name]! Are you guys okay?!
* You: Ryu, the gate...!
* Ryu: I'm trying!! Damn... gate! Open already!!
* Black Shadow: The gods has graced us with their presence! The same gods who didn't deliver us salvation!
* You: Ryu!! The shadows are getting closer!!
* Ryu: I know!!
* Black Shadow: This time! This time you will relinquish your power!
* You: (What now?! What now...?!)
* Devin: There has to be a source where they're storing the power they've stolen from us...
* Ryu: So... We just have to seal it or destroy it...
* Devin: ... Right. And it might be even closer than we think...
* You: A... power... source...
* You: [BF name]! Let me see the music box!
* You: The one that you opened before we ended up here! You have it, right?!
* BF: ...!!
* You: ... I knew it. That sound was coming from this box.
* Black Shadow: The time has come, oh mighty gods! Grant us salvation!!
* You: ...!! I'm sorry!!
* Black Shadow: Gwaghh~!!
* You: What's going on...?
* You: [BF name]! Are you feeling better?!
* You: Great... You got your power back!
* Ryu: Wh-what is this? The crowd of shadows... What's happening to them...?
* You: Look! They're all being surrounded by a white light...!
* Devin: That's what their wandering souls are transforming into. They're being sent back to where they belong.
* Ryu: Devin, are you alright?!
* Devin: Yeah.
* Black Shadow: Ngh... Oh mighty gods... Why? Why do you forsake us so...?
* Ryu: Man... The head shadow is still going on about that?!
* Devin: It's fine, Ryu. It's the truth. No god came to rescue them.
* Black Shadow: Unghhh...
* Devin: ... I won't tell you to get over your anger and resentment.
* Devin: There's nothing we can do to make up for this, but at the very least, we can be the ones to guide your souls.
* You: The clusters of light are rising toward the sky...
* Devin: Yeah.
* You: I wonder how far they'll go. They're sparkling to a rhythm... It's as if we're watching the waltz.
* Ryu: ... Like a never-ending parade.
* You: ... I don't think poetry is your thing.
* Ryu: Ngh...! Sh-shut up! You're the one who started it...!!
* Devin: \*sigh\*... You guys are so noisy.
* Devin: However... After all the trouble I put you two through, it feels nice to see that kind of energy again.
* Devin: ... [BF name].
* Devin: Gods aren't flawless beings. There are times when even our greatest efforts aren't enough to save certain people.
* Devin: We must bear those faults, and when humans show us resentment and curse us, we must turn the other cheek. That is our duty.
* Devin: And yet... you still...
* Devin: No, never mind. Forget I said anything.
* Devin: Let's head back. To the place where we belong.

**Standard ~ The Protector**

* You: Wow, it's already nighttime. I didn't realize so much time had passed, being in a different place and all.
* BF: ...
* You: Is something wrong?
* BF: Uhm, [your name]... I'm really sorry about today.
* You: Haven't been able to get your mind off of everything that happened today, huh?
* BF: Yeah...
* You: There's no need to worry about it that much.
* You: We can come back to the amusement park whenever we want, and we have a lot of free time too.
* BF: It's not that...!
* You: It's not? Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed that's what was bothering you.
* BF: It's alright. That was on my mind too, but the thing I'm talking about is...
* BF: The stuff that happened at that abandoned amusement park.
* You: There's no reason to let that bother you either. I mean, it wasn't even your fault.
* BF: But the fact that I allowed you to be in danger remains the same.
* You: That's...
* BF: Here I am, trying to become the best god I can be, and I drag you into something like that. That's just pathetic...
* You: I didn't think you were pathetic.
* BF: Why not? I wasn't able to do anything...
* You: Think about it. You were there to protect me. I felt reassured just with you being there.
* BF: I basically did nothing, not to mention anything 'reassuring,' but you're saying I actually helped?
* You: I wouldn't say you did nothing. Actually, you did something only you're able to do. Thanks for being my protector.
* BF: I, I will strive for perfection. So please, allow me to continue filling that role.

**Friendly ~ My Current Ability**

* You: Okay! Just a few more rides and we'll have gotten on every single one!
* BF: Y-yeah...
* You: [BF name], is something wrong? You seem a bit down... Are you tired?
* BF: Nah, it's not like that. I was just thinking about some stuff from earlier...
* You: Earlier... You mean what happened at that abandoned amusement park?
* BF: Yeah. I'm just wondering why the got that the head shadow was desperately praying to didn't lend a hand.
* You: Well...
* BF: Or was it that the god tried, but for what ever reason, couldn't help? I guess it's not really like me to be talking like this, huh?
* You: I wouldn't say it's not like you. I would say, though, that it's kinda rare for you to be thinking about something so hard.
* BF: Yeah, I guess I was thinking pretty hard. I didn't even realize it.
* You: If it's okay, do you mind telling me what exactly it is you're worried about?
* BF: I'd been under the impression that I'd become a god one way or another, but maybe it was wrong to think that way.
* You: So now you're feeling unsure?
* BF: Yeah, that sounds about right. I mean, I'm not all that reminiscent of a god.
* BF: Seems like something I should be concerned about.
* You: I get the feeling you'll be okay if you stay the way you are. Besides, having different kinds of gods is a lot more fun... and awesome!
* BF: ... You think so?
* You: Mhm. Besides, I think you're wonderful the way you are.
* BF: I see. Thanks, [your name]... I feel like I'm back to my cheerful self again because of you!
* You: Really? Great. I'm glad you're feeling better.
* BF: Alright, I'm gonna keep working hard. You just sit back and watch me!

**Tsundere ~ Why I Show Interest...**

* You: Today was, uhm... kind of rough, huh?
* BF: Don't you mean, "today was also"? At this point, we can say every day is rough.
* You: So, tell me something...
* BF: What's with that face? Why so serious?
* You: Is saying that just a really roundabout way of showing your support?
* BF: There's no deep meaning. Just something I was thinking.
* You: ... Thanks. I think I'm feeling better. Oh yeah, can I ask you something?
* BF: What is it?
* You: Do you want to become a god as well?
* BF: I don't really care. I've never been that interested... Do you want me to become a god?
* You: No, that's not why I asked. I was just wondering because of what happened earlier.
* BF: Whatever I am, god or not, I'll still be me. And even if I do become a god, it's be a real pain in the neck.
* You: Fufu. I have to say... That way of thinking is so like you.
* BF: Don't laugh, damn it... Geez...
* You: Sorry, I couldn't help it...
* BF: ... The only reason I showed any interest in that is because of you. You better stick with me until the end.
* You: You got it. Oh, by any chance, is there a ride you wanted to get on? Now's your chance. We can still go.
* BF: Definitely not... More importantly, that night parade you wanted to go to is about to start, isn't it?
* You: Oh yeah, that's right!
* BF: \*sigh\* Then let's get a move on... You're the only one who could get me to do any of this stuff, you know.
* You:

**Mysterious ~ A Particular Reason**

* You: Amusement parks are really pretty at night too. Is the reason you said we should wait to get on the Ferris wheel.
* You: because you wanted to be able to see all of the lights?
* BF: I simply figured the view would be more dazzling during evening hours. Though, I'm sure any scenery I look at with you would be beautiful.
* You: Ugh...! Stop mocking me!
* BF: I'm not. I think you're lovely too, at every moment of the day.
* BF: For example, the way you pretend to be upset to hide how awkward you're feeling.
* You: Nothing slips past you, huh? Is that because you're a god?
* BF: That might be part of it, but you know... I was actually hesitant about becoming a god.
* You: Hesitant? You? No way... I didn't even notice.
* BF: That's because I didn't want you to notice. I can't have you see me in such a pitiful state.
* You: ... Were you thinking that hard because of the thing that happened earlier?
* BF: I guess it'd be blatantly false if I said it was unrelated to that. It reminded me just how different humans and gods are.
* You: Do you mind if I ask why it reminded you of that?
* BF: The head shadow lost faith in humans, despite having been one as well. I think that resulted in a plea for assistance from a special being.
* BF: From a god. Though, the prayer wasn't answered in the end...
* You: Well...
* BF: And that's when I thought... Gods are a completely separate existence from humans.
* BF: That might be why they're unable to save them.
* You: [BF name]...
* BF: You know, I might even be afraid.
* You: ... Of what?
* BF: Of us becoming entirely different beings. It'd be quite bizarre.
* BF: I was really hoping I could be someone special to you...
* You: To me, you'll always be special, whether you're a god or not.
* BF: I appreciate that... And I like you because you are you. No other particular reason is necessary.

**Tough A Fresh New Start**

* You: Great, we're back at the amusement park we're supposed to be at.
* BF: Yeah... You're not hurt, are you?
* You: I'm okay. I should be worried about you though. You were so pale before... Are you okay?
* BF: I'm fine. Sorry to make you worry. I should also apologize for what happened.
* BF: I'm supposed to be protecting you, but I...
* You: No, none of that was your fault.
* BF: Still, telling you to escape on your own is the same as breaking the promise I made to you.
* You: That's just because you were thinking about my safety...
* BF: Even considering that, that's not what I was supposed to say in that situation... ... What I did to you was wrong...
* You: [BF name]...
* BF: The head shadow was disheartened after not being saved by the gods and ending up like that... I saw that with my very own eyes, and still...
* You: But you did save me, so you kept your promise.
* BF: Not being able to move when I was most needed is something I need to reflect on... Maybe it's a sign of my lack of effort...
* You: No, you work extremely hard! I've been by your side for so long! I would know!
* BF: I see... Though working hard is something we do for our own sakes, it does make me happy to hear you say something like that.
* You: I'm just telling you the truth. But you know, if you're happy, I'm happy.
* BF: I may have a long way to go to be considered reliable, but... I'd like it if I could continue being by your side. Is that okay?
* You: Oh course. Besides, I want you to keep being by my side...
* BF: ... I'll show you. No matter what happens, I'll be there to protect you. I want to renew that promise.
* You: Okay, then... It's a promise!
* BF: Yeah. And I'll never go back on my word. Ever. I'll be there to protect you until the very end.

**Cute ~ The Most Treasured**

**Relaxed ~ What I Wish to Grant**

* You: That's was a pretty wild ride. Thank goodness we're back at the right amusement park.
* BF: Yeah. Not to mention, the air is so nice and clean here. The plants also seem to be coming along quite well.
* You: ... If it wasn't for what happened, maybe that other amusement park could have been made into a fun place like this.
* BF: It's possible... I'll have to work even harder so that we can avoid a repeat of events like those.
* You: That's right. You want to become a god, right?
* BF: Hmm~... Saying I want to become a god might be a little off base.
* You: Huh? But you're doing everything you can to become a god. Isn't it because that's what you want?
* BF: I certainly am trying my best, but it's because I see becoming a god as my duty.
* You: Your duty? And you're fine with that? You don't hate the idea?
* BF: Nope, so it's fine~.
* You: I sure hope so...
* BF: I appreciate your concern. I'm actually looking forward to the day I become a god.
* You: Is that because there's something you want to do when that time comes?
* BF: Yep!
* BF: I want to try making lots of beautiful flowers bloom, and I want to try to create forests with lots of vegetables to harvest.
* You: Forests filled with vegetables. That sounds exactly like something you would do.
* You: I might actually have to see that with my own eyes...
* BF: And now, there's one more thing I want to do using my god powers.
* You: What would that be?
* BF: I'd like to grant you happiness Making someone happy is an important job for a god, after all.
* You: But I'm happy now, just from spending time with you.
* BF: Alright, then I'll grant you a greater happiness than you've ever known. Just you wait. You won't be disappointed~.

**Vain ~ Forever by My Side**

* You: Uhm, [BF name]... ... What's this?
* BF: I saw you looking at it, so I bought it.
* You: You... bought it...?
* BF: What? You don't like it?
* You: N-no, it's not that. I'm happy you did.
* BF: ... I plan on becoming a king that rules over all the gods.
* You: \*sigh\* What's gotten into you?
* BF: There's no way I'm gonna be the type of god that can't even save one measly amusement park.
* You: So the stuff that happened earlier has been on your mind, then?
* BF: ... I just felt like I did you wrong. I still do.
* You: So... is that the reason you bought me this...?
* BF: I simply noticed that it caught your eye... I'm not so much asking that you forgive me.
* You: Fufu, as long as you understand, it's fine. Thank you, [BF name].
* BF: There's no reason for you to show me gratitude.
* You: Oh, I know. Is there anything you'd like? I can't be the only one receiving gifts all the time.
* BF: ... You. As long as you're by my side, I don't need anything else.
* You: Wait, me?
* BF: So, are you going to give me what I want?
* You: ... Uhm, uhh... If you're happy with just me...
* BF: Just you will be good enough. Besides, I've already decided that the one who will always be by my side is you.
