What Visions May Bring

## Introduction

**Sharla:** Hey, Shulk... What’s it like being able to see the future?

**Shulk:** It’s kinda hard to explain. If I had to describe it, it’s like I’m being made to watch a dream.

**Sharla:** A dream, huh? That’s one strange power.

**Shulk:** Tell me, Sharla... What do you think of my power?

## Gain (+8)

**Sharla: *[I wish I had it.]*** If I had your power, maybe I could have saved Colony 6.

**Shulk:** I can see why that would mean a lot to you. You might have even been able to save Gadolt.

**Sharla:** Yeah. But honestly, the more I think about it... The more I realise none of this could have been helped. And your power kept Juju safe. I’ll always be grateful for that.

**Shulk:** Yeah, that was a close one. I’m glad we got to him in time. Otherwise there could have been a future where Juju didn’t make it.

**Sharla:** Thank goodness for your visions. If you have a vision, it means... ***[You can save someone’s life!]*** I feel like a stronger person when I’m around you.

**Shulk:** That’s kind of you to say. Thank you, Sharla. But...

**Sharla:** What is it?

**Shulk:** I can’t see everything. Sometimes the visions are quite hazy. And even when I’ve seen the future, I can’t always change it.

**Sharla:** Are you talking about what happened to Fiora?

**Shulk:** Yeah. I’m also worried about what’s going to happen to Bionis. I’ve hardly been able to see anything. If only my power wasn’t so limited...

**Sharla:** Don’t be so hard on yourself! You’ve saved us how many times now?

**Shulk:** Yeah, I guess I have! Thanks, Sharla! But I still wish I could master my power a bit better.

**Sharla:** If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know! I’ll support you all the way!

## Net 0 (+4, -4)

**Sharla: *[I wish I had it.]*** If I had your power, maybe I could have saved Colony 6.

**Shulk:** I can see why that would mean a lot to you. You might have even been able to save Gadolt.

**Sharla:** Yeah. But honestly, the more I think about it... The more I realise none of this could have been helped. And your power kept Juju safe. I’ll always be grateful for that.

**Shulk:** Yeah, that was a close one. I’m glad we got to him in time. Otherwise there could have been a future where Juju didn’t make it.

**Sharla:** Thank goodness for your visions. If you have a vision, it means...
***[There’s nothing to fear!]***

**Shulk:** But it doesn’t work like that. Some things I can’t see. Even if I do see someone dying, I might not be able to stop it. I couldn’t stop what happened to Fiora.

**Sharla:** No, I suppose not. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories.

**Shulk:** I could see it, just as it was about to happen. But I was still powerless to save her.

**Sharla:** I guess I misunderstood.

**Shulk:** What do you mean?

**Sharla:** The ability to have these visions... It’s not without its consequences. It means you can help people, but it’s a heavy burden as well.

**Shulk:** Yeah. Thank you, Sharla. I feel better from talking to you.

**Sharla:** I can’t see the future. But I’m good at solving problems I can see. Talk to me about anything, anytime!

## Net 0 (-4, +4)

**Sharla: *[I still don’t quite believe it.]***

**Shulk: What?! All this time, and you still don’t believe me?!**

**Sharla:** No! That’s not what I meant at all.

**Shulk:** What did you mean then?

**Sharla:** It’s just... such an unbelievable thing. Even as I think about it now, I can’t fathom how you can do it?

**Shulk:** Oh, I see what you’re saying now. Actually, I kind of feel the same way. Maybe I’ll never understand it. Sharla, if you could have one vision of the future... What would you want to see?

**Sharla: *[How Colony 6 turns out.]*** I can’t stop wondering about the day the colony is back to normal. It used to be a fun, bustling place. That’s the home I remember, and I want it back the way it was.

**Shulk:** Sharla... I...

**Sharla:** And not just that... *I wonder about who’s going to be by my side, enjoying it with me.*

**Shulk:** Sharla? What were you gonna say?

**Sharla:** Oh, nothing. The point is... I might not have your power, but I’m gonna get my home back!

**Shulk:** And I’ll be there to help you. We’ll fix it together!

## Loss (-8)

**Sharla: *[I still don’t quite believe it.]***

**Shulk:** What?! All this time, and you still don’t believe me?!

**Sharla:** No! That’s not what I meant at all.

**Shulk:** What did you mean then?

**Sharla:** It’s just... such an unbelievable thing. Even as I think about it now, I can’t fathom how you can do it?

**Shulk:** Oh, I see what you’re saying now. Actually, I kind of feel the same way. Maybe I’ll never understand it. Sharla, if you could have one vision of the future... What would you want to see?

**Sharla: *[Juju getting married.]***

**Shulk:** That’s what you want to see?!

**Sharla:** Hey! It’s my vision and it can be anything I want! Don’t you have any brothers or sisters you want to know about?

**Shulk:** No, I’m an only child.

**Sharla:** Then you don’t know how much I worry about little Juju. If Juju ends up with the wrong girl, I’ll be devastated!

**Shulk:** Oh, I didn’t think of that. I’m sorry. That sounds important.

**Sharla:** I’m very protective of him. Not long after we were born, we lost both our parents. I became like a mother to him.

**Shulk:** I’m slightly jealous of Juju. I wish I had someone like you looking out for me!
