Chapter 12: True Desire III

## Script

*Chapter 12*
*True Desire III*
*Scene - Forest of Mystic Swamp*
**Kitty**: Wow!
**Player**: So this is the Forest of Mystic Swamp?
**Kitty**: The mist and the glowing plants... It's a paradise!
**Kitty**: There's such a paradise near Eversun?
*All Choices - Choice 1.1: "Look at the scenery. Let's find the way while enjoying it!" OR Choice 1.2: "The more beautiful a place is, the more dangerous it is. Be careful."*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Player**: It's even more complicated than Eversun Lane here...
**Kitty**: Where will Hart go?
**Player**: Those in the camp ahead look like the residents of the Lane.
**Kitty**: Let's go ask them.
*Player and Kitty check the camp*
*They see three big rats surrounding a cannye near around a camp fire*
*All of the rats look ill*
**Kitty**: Huh? Such big rats!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: Hey hey, hold there. Help!
**Player**: Why?
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: I'm here to rob folks! But my target was scared away by these big rats!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: I robbed no one and ended up trapped.
**Kitty**: Did you see two boys? One wears a monster hat, the other has a baseball bat.
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: They are the ones I was gonna rob! They were camping here...
**Kitty**: Great! Where did they go?
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: Get me outta here... And I'll tell you!
**Kitty**: These three big rats, they just look clumsy. I don't think... they are gonna attack you.
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: Oh man, I'm not in danger. These rats are!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: I just touched their bellies and they are full of gas. They are gonna blow up if we don't do something.
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: I got trapped in here and I can't help them! That's why I need your help!
**Player**: All right... What shall we do? Poke their bellies?
**Kitty**: That's inhuman!
**Kitty**: Maybe they are the residents of the Lane...
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: My boss once told me... there's a legend about this forest.
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: If you see a glowing, naked man!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: Talk to him and fulfill a wish of his, so he will answer your question.
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: My boss never lies, so it must be true!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: Why not go look for him?
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: I heard he only shows up around Night Lake!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Bandit**: It's a big lake! Don't miss it!
*Player and Kitty explore the forest to find the glowing man*
*They find a well-build, ghostly knightw*
**Player**: (It should be him!)
**Player**: Excuse me...
*Choice 2.1 - What can stop things from getting bigger?*
*The ghost gives a weird look.*
**Omniscient Ghost**: I think you're telling a dirty joke, but I'm not sure.
**Player**: You misunderstand. It's the rats. Their bellies are swelling.
*Choice 2.2 - What can make thing smaller?*
*The ghost gives a weird look.*
**Omniscient Ghost**: Others want their things get bigger, but you want them smaller.
**Omniscient Ghost**: Strange guy.
**Player**: You misunderstand. It's the rats. Their bellies are swelling.
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Omniscient Ghost**: Piece of cake.
**Omniscient Ghost**: They must have had come across some poisonous mushrooms in the forest. It generates a lot of gas in their bellies.
**Omniscient Ghost**: Take some herbs, fart for a while and they'll be okay.
**Omniscient Ghost**: But if they don't receive treatment in time... they will explode.
**Player**: So... even that Cannye is in danger!
*All Choices - Choice 3.1: "Do you have the herbs?" OR Choice 3.2: "What can we do?"*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Omniscient Ghost**: I can give you the Probiotic Grass for this disease, but... you must do one thing for me.
**Player**: And that is?
**Omniscient Ghost**: Please make physical contact with me!
**Player**: ...
**Omniscient Ghost**: I feed on the aura of the sun and the moon, and I've lived in this forest for years...
**Omniscient Ghost**: The sky is cloudy these days, so its been long since I felt the taste of a positive aura...
**Omniscient Ghost**: I need a strong man to have a melee fight with!
**Omniscient Ghost**: You need the herb, so... fair enough!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Let's do this!
*Player spars with the ghost*
**Omniscient Ghost**: It really feels nice to do some exercises...
**Omniscient Ghost**: So full!
**Omniscient Ghost**: You have the Probiotic Grass now.
**Omniscient Ghost**: But still you need Dirty Water to make the Probiotic Herbal Tea!
**Omniscient Ghost**: You gotta get it from the Night Lake yourself.
**Player**: But how to make that blahblahblah tea?
**Omniscient Ghost**: Hmm... for the sake of the aura...
**Omniscient Ghost**: Bring it to me. I'll make it for you.
**Player**: Oh... Thank you.
*Player and Kitty head down to the lake*
*As Kitty gets some water from the edge of the lake, he notices some strange bubbling*
**Kitty**: Watch out! Something in the lake!
*A large mutant slug with tentacles comes out of the lake*
**Player**: ...We just fetch some water.
**Kitty**: Seems we need defeat it first...
*Player and Kitty defeat the monster and go back to the ghost with the water*
**Omniscient Ghost**: Got it?
**Player**: Ok.
**Omniscient Ghost**: Give it to me.
*The ghost finishes making the medicinal tea*
**Omniscient Ghost**: All right. Take it.
*Choices start #1*
*Choice 4.1 - Why is it called Dirty Water?*
**Omniscient Ghost**: The monsters in the water emit a large amount of bacteria into the lake after they die.
**Omniscient Ghost**: It's not the water that works. It's the bacteria.
*Go back to Choices start #1*
*Choice 4.2 - I feel like talking to you more!*
**Omniscient Ghost**: Oh? You want to fight again, or...
**Player**: Whatever you want!
**Omniscient Ghost**: Maybe next time.
**Omniscient Ghost**: Your aura is too strong. I gotta take a break.
*Go back to Choices start #1*
*Choice 4.3 - Thanks. Bye!*
**Omniscient Ghost**: I will, miss you.
*Scene continues after choices*
*The ghost disappears*
*Player and Kitty go back to the camp*
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: Oooooh you're finally back!
**Kitty**: Feed the rats with the tea.
**Player**: Ok!
*Player feeds the rats the tea*
*Lots of gas starts coming out of the rats*
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: Cough... I think I'm poisoned!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: Does that tea really work?
**Player**: This herbal tea is effective for those suffering from swelling after having a poisonous mushroom!
**Player**: They are letting out the gas. Be patient.
**Kitty**: It stinks!
*The rats get better and leave the camp*
**Kitty**: You are safe now! Tell us where they went.
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: They went into the forest. Just go along the path.
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: But they look quite poor...
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: Oh my, almost forgot about my day job!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: I wasted quite a bit of time. Gotta go rob the next house!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: Otherwise I can't complete my KPI!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: Nice to meet you!
**Cannye Who Calls Itself A Rogue**: I left a small gift for you in the box. Remember to go get it.
*Player and Kitty continue to explore the forest*
*They spot a muscular lumberjack chopping wood*
**Kitty**: There is a Lumberjack.
**Kitty**: Go to ask him.
*As the two approach him, a large boar comes out of some nearby bushes*
*It looks like it's going to attack the lumberjack*
**Player**: Stop!
**Kitty**: Spare him!
*Player and Kitty rush to the lumberjack's side*
**Lumberjack**: Oh? I knew they would be here.
**Player**: ?
**Lumberjack**: Handsome! I still got some work here.
**Lumberjack**: Take them out for me. Won't be hard for you.
**Player**: Eh?
*Player and Kitty fight the boars*
**Kitty**: These boars are something fierce!
**Kitty**: Won't be hard for us? It is hard...
**Player**: No wonder everyone in Eversun Lane warned me it's dangerous in Forest of Mystic Swamp.
**Player**: But I never expected that even a boar could be so strong...
*After winning the battle, they return to the lumberjack*
**Lumberjack**: I must cut some logs for my friend today.
**Lumberjack**: They will be ruined if my tools are stained with boars' blood.
**Lumberjack**: It's a piece of cake. I guess you don't need a thank you.
**Lumberjack**: Hey you two, follow me and let's go have dinner at my place!
*Choices start #2*
*Choice 5.1 - ... 'Piece of cake'?*
**Kitty**: Uh...
**Kitty**: Perhaps it is a piece of cake for him. Look at those muscles...
**Kitty**: A man who got the balls to live in this dangerous forest... He can't be weak.
*Go back to Choices start #2*
*Choice 5.2 - What? How come we need to follow you home...*
**Lumberjack**: Gyees are my friends. Come with me!
**Player**: Gyee! How... How did you know that?
**Lumberjack**: I've met all kinds of people before I settled down here...
**Lumberjack**: Didn't take long to figure it out. Not a big deal.
**Player**: ...
*Go back to Choices start #2*
*Choice 5.3 - Why did the boars attack you?*
**Lumberjack**: Why you're here... is why the boars are here.
**Kitty**: Uh...
**Player**: You said 'I knew they would be here'...
**Player**: You mean the boars? Or us?
**Lumberjack**: Haha, what's the difference?
**Lumberjack**: You're here for that cute little guy anyway!
*Go back to Choices start #2*
*Choice 5.4 - Have you seen a boy in a monster hat?*
**Lumberjack**: Yep.
**Kitty**: ...
**Lumberjack**: I get along really well with that little guy Hou brought me!
**Player**: So where is he now?
**Lumberjack**: He's in my house. Follow me.
*Scene continues after choices*
*Player and Kitty follow the lumberjack to his house*
*Outside of his house stands Hart*
**Hart**: Rand!
*Hart notices the the two people that followed Rand*
**Hart**: Dammit! Can't believe you followed me all the way here! You stupid Gyees!
**Kitty**: Shut it! You think you're smart? You foolish Gyee!
**Player**: Don't...
**Hart**: You shut it! I almost forgot what I was gonna say! Listen to me first!
**Kitty**: You shut it! You just ran away before I was done with my words! Now listen to me!
**Player**: First...
**Hart**: If Hou wasn't hurt and my batteries were not damaged by the boars, Hou and I...
**Hart**: Would have kicked your ass back to that nowhere island!
**Kitty**: If the Light of Purity allowed me to use violence, I'll teach you a lesson now and take you back!
**Rand**: Stop it!
**Rand**: You're all my guests!
**Rand**: Get in and have dinner first!
**Rand**: Save the fighting for after the meal!
**Hart**: Hum! I'm fed up already!
**Kitty**: Hum! Me too but I'm still hungry!
**Hart**: Hey, cat ears... don't you have more than one drumstick! Hou is recovering. He needs to have two!
**Kitty**: Haha, we get drumsticks for dinner?
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (Looks like Hart is not gonna run away. Maybe we can have dinner at that handsome fellow's place first.)
**Player**: (All problems can be solved with a meal... or two meals!)
*Player talks to Rand*
*Choices start #3*
*Choice 6.1 - Did you and Hou know each other long ago?*
**Rand**: Yep, and we're good friends!
**Rand**: He has a high standard for mechanical materials, so he always comes to me for logs!
**Rand**: Look, those logs I just cut are for him. He's gonna use them to fix that little guy's battery shell.
**Rand**: The offcuts are just enough to cook a meal!
**Player**: So... Hou is also a Gyee?
**Rand**: Haha, didn't see that, huh?
**Rand**: Hou is very good at self-control, and he's low-profile.
**Rand**: He can live a normal life among most other people if he didn't hang out with this little guy.
*Go back to Choices start #3*
*Choice 6.2 - Hou's hurt? Hart's batteries?*
**Rand**: Haha, this little guy... there was some bad blood between him and the boars!
**Player**: What? Don't tell me...
*All Choices - Choice 6.2.1: "Hart got played by the boars?" OR Choice 6.2.2: "Hart played with the boars?"*
**Rand**: That little guy must have stayed in the city all the time. He was so excited to be here.
**Rand**: Hou tried to stop him, but he just kept hugging that boar cub.
**Rand**: That's a boar, you know, not a pet. He was knocked off right after the boar kicked him.
**Rand**: Hou rushed over to catch him, so the little guy was not hurt at all, except that the battery was damaged.
**Player**: He's trying to run away. Riding a boar for fun at this time, seriously?
**Player**: ... I guess only Hart can be that naughty!
**Rand**: The boar cub turned around and tried to attack the little guy, so I saved him.
**Player**: So that's why a whole herd of boars came after you?
**Rand**: Hahaha!
*Go back to Choices start #3*
*Choice 6.3 - Why do you live here?*
**Rand**: It feels free to live here alone!
**Rand**: As for why I moved here... it's a long story!
**Rand**: Come to my house and have a meal! I'll fill you in on why!
*Go back to Choices start #3*
*Choice 6.4 - I'm starving!*
**Rand**: Let's go.
*Scene continues after choices*
*Everyone starts to walk to the front entrance when Hou exits Rand's house*
**Hart**: Hou, you haven't recovered yet. Get back in there!
**Hou**: Why are they...?
**Hart**: They got rid of the boars, so Rand insists they have dinner here.
**Rand**: Don't worry. They are not here to hurt your little guy. You have my word.
**Rand**: I don't usually have so many guests here! Gotta give you guys a warm welcome.
**Kitty**: You've got other guests besides us?
**Rand**: No!
**Hou**: Look, someone's here!
*A strange man dressed as a construction worker walks up behind the group*
**Strange Man**: Master Hart! Hou! Haha, I knew you're at Rand's!
**Hou**: Long time no see, Eeck!
**Player**: And this is...
**Rand**: This is Eeck. He went broke for gambling and came here to kill himself.
**Rand**: Luckily Hou was picking logs around, so he saved him and brought him here.
**Rand**: By the way, how did you know Hou and Hart are here?
**Eeck**: I heard the explosion at the Sewer Entrance. When I went there to check out what happened...
**Eeck**: I got to know Master Hart was being hunted! And he went into the sewer under Hou's cover!
**Eeck**: Although quite some people in Eversun know the sewer leads to Forest of Mystic Swamp.
**Eeck**: But almost no one know... the existence of this cabin.
**Eeck**: Thank goodness Master Hart is still here! I can rest assured now.
**Rand**: Good timing. Let's have dinner together. I've got enough tableware for more guests!
**Eeck**: Hehe, I did brought a bunch of men to search for Master Hart, but...
**Eeck**: ... We're not having dinner here.
**Eeck**: What shall we have for dinner after getting the bounty... That's to be discussed.
**Hou**: Bounty?
*A White Cape witch and three White Cape snipers reveal themselves*
**Rand**: White Cape?
**White Cape Witch**: Good job. You'll get your reward.
**White Cape Witch**: You'll get the exact bounty written on the wanted poster from the Sword of Light.
**Hou**: Eeck! You...
**Eeck**: Mr. Hou, I'm not doing this for money. I'm trying to pay you back, by relieving you of your burdens.
**Eeck**: This imp shouldn't have been born.
**Eeck**: I pity his family! This is also for their good.
**Eeck**: Master Hart, please forgive me! Sorry!
**Hart**: This is none of your business! I'll never forgive you!
**Hart**: You traitor! Hou shouldn't have saved you, asshole!
**Eeck**: Haha, agreed! So he wouldn't get to know you!
**Hart**: You...!
**White Cape Witch**: Master Hart, do you want the easy way, or the hard way?
**White Cape Witch**: I prepared two choices for you in advance.
**Hart**: Hum, neither! Get your weapon if you want a fight! I'll have no more of this bullshit!
**Kitty**: Wait, your weapon's broken, right? How are you gonna fight them?
**Hart**: That's my business! I'll take on it myself!
**Kitty**: No way! You're not taking Hart away if Kitty says no!
**Kitty**: There's only a few of them. We can totally take on them! Hart, Hou, stay back there.
**White Cape Witch**: Hum! Arrest them all!
*Player and Kitty fight the four White Capes and hold them off*
**White Cape Witch**: Your men are pretty good, Master Hart.
**White Cape Witch**: That's pretty tough! But...
**White Cape Witch**: I prefer the gentle way.
**White Cape Witch**: Take her to me!
*Another White Cape sniper brings out Hart's sister, Hannah*
**Hart**: Hannah?
**Hannah**: Hart, run!
**White Cape Witch**: A hapless lady from a rich family rushed into such a dangerous forest alone to look for her little brother...
**White Cape Witch**: What if she runs into bad guys?
**White Cape Witch**: Now thanks to us, she can meet you here, 'safe and sound'.
**Hannah**: Hart, I'm not a Gyee. The White Capes can't do anything to me. Run!
**White Cape Witch**: Oh? That's wrong, Miss Hannah.
**White Cape Witch**: Those who shield the Gyees or interfere the arrest of Gyees are just as guilty as them.
**White Cape Witch**: Of course I can do something to you...
**Hart**: You bastard!
**White Cape Witch**: Don't blame me if anything happens!
*The White Cape witch starts casting a spell under Hanna when two balls of flux hit the sniper and witch*
*Hanna escapes*
*Hart turns around and sees Hou kneeling*
**Hart**: Hou!
**Hart**: Wound separated?
**Hou**: So good you are all right.
**Hart**: Sorry.
**Hart**: I only... made troubles for you.
*The witch recovers*
**White Cape Witch**: Dammit! You just wait!
*The witch leaves, abandoning a cowering Eeck*
*Rand walks up to Eeck*
**Eeck**: Rand! Don't... Don't kill me!
**Eeck**: You can take the half of the bounty，no，all bounty!
*Rand looks angrily down at Eeck*
**Rand**: Take this money，pay your debt and get out of Eversun!
**Rand**: Don't let me see you again.
*Eeck runs away*
*Hart talks to Hanna*
**Hart**: Why would you come find me!?
**Hannah**: You're my brother.
**Hart**: I hate those words! I having a sister!
**Player**: ...
**Hart**: You can't do anything well! All you know is how to restrain me and trouble me!
**Hannah**: I'm sorry. I...
**Hart**: When we were kids, you were jealous of the love I got from mom and dad, right?
**Hart**: You should be the happiest one when I ran away!
**Kitty**: Hey, Hart! Mind your words!
**Hart**: No!
**Kitty**: ...
**Kitty**: Why are you crying?
**Hart**: You get bullied if you're too nice! You get ignored if you know too much!
**Hart**: That's why mom and dad ignored your feelings!
**Hart**: That's why... That's why I hate you!
**Hannah**: ...
**Hart**: I hate it when you say 'It's okay, because you're my brother'!
**Hart**: I hate it when you try to put up with me, take care of me and protect me even if you don't have the ability to do that...
**Hart**: Mom and dad will give all their love to you after I'm gone.
**Hart**: Leave me alone. Don't get bullied anymore. Live as you wish.
**Hart**: \*sobs\*... sister....
**Player**: ...
**Kitty**: Stop it. You're making me cry as well...
**Kitty**: What's wrong with such a sister? I'd love to be her brother if you don't want to.
**Hart**: Cat Ears, I'm not giving my sister and Hou to anyone! You can have whatever you want except them...
**Kitty**: Really? I'll have you then!
**Hart**: ???
**Kitty**: I want you to follow me, um, I mean, follow the Light of Purity to Never Isle as soon as possible.
**Hart**: Alas, why do you have to take me to that stupid island...
**Hou**: Looks like you're really sent by the Light of Purity. Sorry for misunderstanding you!
**Hart**: Hou, you need to take more rest... I'll apologize.
**Hart**: Cat Ears, I know you've got a good heart now.
**Hart**: That's my apology, okay?
**Kitty**: What? You apologized already? When?
**Hart**: I said it in my mind!
**Hart**: Don't you deny it. I'm not gonna say it again.
**Hart**: Forgive me now. This is your last chance!
**Kitty**: ...
**Player**: Now that the air is clear, would you like to go with us?
**Man's Voice**: Go? No one goes away!
**Player**: !
*The White Cape witch comes back with reinforcements*
*Part of the group is the White Cape captain, a man with a large gun, and a priest*
**Kitty**: White Cape again!
**Hart**: You bastards! Why can't you just let me go!
**White Cape Captain**: You're way too high-profile, Master Hart!
**White Cape Captain**: It's the responsibility of the Sword of Light to control you as your new guardian.
*All Choices - Choice 7.1: "Bullshit!" OR Choice 7.2: "Why do you have such prejudice against Gyees!?"*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**White Cape Captain**: Humans are born afflicted with fears of the unknown. Monsters should hide themselves better.
**White Cape Captain**: But unfortunately, Master Hart, you didn't hide yourself, and you're even proud of your identity.
**White Cape Captain**: There's no way we will let you go!
*Rand goes up to the captain*
**Rand**: You never changed. Hypocrite!
**White Cape Captain**: Oh? You...
**Rand**: Hum, remember me? Captain... Brian.
**Brian**: Everyone in Crossport knows Rand.
**Brian**: But let's dispense with the greetings. I'm not letting anyone go.
**Brian**: I don't wanna remember anything in Crossport except that I joined the White Cape!
**Rand**: Oh? Well, just like you did, I forgot what upset me already.
**Rand**: But I can't forget you!
**Rand**: I wonder one thing.
**Rand**: The White Capes said they will eliminate the Gyees. Do you really think you can arrest all of them?
**Brian**: Elimination is not our real goal. What we want is fear. Fear that can suppress all the Gyees so they will never cause chaos.
**Brian**: Those who can't hide their mutations require more fear. They deserve punishment, and we can warn the others by the way!
**Brian**: For example, Master Hart, and you! Rand!
**White Cape Witch**: Captain, don't forget those around them! They are all Gyees!
**Brian**: Looks like I'm catching a herd of Gyees today!
**Rand**: Looks like I gotta have some exercises today!
*The group fight back against the White Cape and beat them back*
**Rand**: Oops. I didn't intend to use that much power!
**Brian**: ...
**Rand**: Stop glaring! Catch your breath!
**Brian**: Those Gyees who exposed their identities gave up their chance at a stable life.
**Brian**: I won't let anyone be a Gyee without fear!
**Rand**: Hmm, it sounds like your hatred is not pure... It's got envy inside.
**Brian**: Why you...!
**Rand**: Oh c'mon, you're injured. There will be another accident that'll happen if another fight starts. An accident that might befall you.
**Brian**: ...
**Osmond**: I'll take care of it!
*The priest, Osmond, uses a powerful spell to heal Brian back to full*
**Player**: Obviously this is also a Gyee，even in White Cape…
**Rand**: Why not just let each other go? Captain Brian has long since proven himself. You don't need Hart to prove your status!
**Brian**: ...
**Brian**: Conniving Gyees never die in their beds.
**Brian**: Master Hart, you get to run today...
**Brian**: But not next time!
*The White Cape leave*
**Rand**: Little guy, the bad guys are gone. Why are you still so sad?
**Hart**: Big guy...
**Hart**: It must tiring to become what others want me to be, right?
**Rand**: Oh, you heard Brian's words, huh?
**Hart**: If I wasn't so selfish and hid myself as they wished...
**Hart**: Those around me wouldn't have been hurt, right...?
**Rand**: That kind of peace is fake. You gotta face the world to get real peace.
**Hart**: What? I don't get it...
**Rand**: Haha, it's okay! Just live as you wish!
**Rand**: Little guy, you've got a long way to go. You gotta find the answer yourself.
**Rand**: Most importantly, remember where your heart wants to go.
**Hart**: I see! I feel like growing up now so I don't need anyone to protect me anymore, and I can protect those who love me.
**Hart**: But! I don't wanna become anyone as hypocritical as Eeck or the ugly woman in White Cape.
**Hart**: I wanna become someone like you, big guy!
**Hart**: Thank you!
**Rand**: Haha, nice meeting you, little guy.
*Player talks to Hart*
**Hart**: Got anything you want to say to me?
*Choice 8.1 - Prejudice never makes sense.*
**Hart**: Hm...
**Hart**: Prejudice is just everywhere... not only in strangers but those we love as well.
**Hart**: That's why I don't speak my mind to mom and dad...
**Player**: Communication can gradually eliminate prejudice, while isolation will only make things worse.
**Hart**: You mean... no more hiding, and talk honestly, right?
**Hart**: Well... I'll try.
*Choice 8.2 - Don't force yourself to live as others wish!*
**Player**: We're different, so what!?
**Hart**: Ok!
**Hart**: I am never a normal kid. Why do I have to be 'turned' into a normal person?
**Hart**: Gyees are Gyees!
**Player**: That's right!
*Scene continues after choices*
*Player talks to Rand*
*Choices start #4*
*Choice 9.1 - How did you and Brian get to know each other?*
**Rand**: The headquarters of the White Cape is in my hometown, Crossport.
**Rand**: I do hate the White Cape, but I don't hate him.
*Go back to Choices start #4*
*Choice 9.2 - Why did he retreat after the talk?*
**Rand**: I just asked him for a favor, as an old friend... I didn't want him to see me as some wretched traitor.
**Rand**: You know what, he became captain by taking advantage of me.
**Rand**: Something happened between us in Crossport, and I still got a score to settle with him.
**Rand**: But about that thing...
**Rand**: He's not the only one to blame.
**Rand**: People live different lives, which leads them to form different worldviews.
*Go back to Choices start #4*
*Choice 9.3 - Why don't you go back to Crossport?*
**Rand**: I want to...
**Rand**: It's just I can't...
*Go back to Choices start #4*
*Choice 9.4 - We should go back now!*
**Rand**: Goodbye!
**Rand**: Come hang out with me when you're free.
*Scene continues after choices*
**Kitty**: We can still attend the festival if we head back to Eversun now, right?
**Hou**: The lanterns? Oops... It's too late to help now.
**Kitty**: Haha, don't worry. The guy we left in the village is good at making machines. He'll build it!
**Hart**: Hum. He can't be as good as Hou!
**Hart**: Hou can do anything! He'd be unstoppable if he didn't have to help me clean up my messes all the time.
**Hart**: He would be the best machinist around! Better than that Touring-guy or whatever.
**Kitty**: ... Phhhaha!
**Kitty**: Good thing Billy is not here! Otherwise there will be another fight.
**Hou**: ...
*Hou smiles at the light-hearted banter*
**Rand**: Haha, turns out it's Sun Festival today.
**Rand**: Since it's a day of reunion, I won't have you for dinner. Take the little guy home!
**Rand**: Hou, stay with me for the festival. Today will be the busiest day of the year in Eversun. I don't wanna be alone.
**Hart**: Hou, you don't wanna spend it with me?
**Hou**: I do, but you should go home with your sister. Don't make your mom and dad worried.
**Hart**: Hou, I can take you home. Come with me, okay?
**Hou**: My wounds... It's hard to explain them.
**Hou**: Thankfully your wounds are scant and slight. Hopefully, they won't notice.
**Hou**: I'll stay at Rand's before I recover. Don't worry, I'll go see you off when you go to Never Isle.
**Hart**: Alright...
**Hart**: I understand... It's just I wanna stay with you.
**Hou**: I'll be here waiting for you.
**Hart**: I'm just taking shelter on that nowhere island. I will return!
**Kitty**: Hey... I told you, Never Isle is not some uninhabited island. It's got everything you need! You're not gonna starve there!
**Hart**: Blah blah blah. Lead the way, cat ears!
**Hart**: Bye, Hou, big guy!
**Hart**: I'm gonna miss you.
**Hou**: See you later, Master Hart.
**Rand**: I'm gonna miss you, too, little guy.
*Scene - Eversun*
*Player and Kitty bring Hart and Hannah back to their parents*
**Hart's Mother**: Hart! Why can't you behave yourself!
**Hart's Mother**: You just got out there without telling me and didn't come back until now! I'm so worried about you!
**Hart's Father**: Where did you go? Be honest and so you don't end up upsetting your mother.
**Hart**: I...
**Hart**: Um... My new friend will tell you about it.
*Choice 10.1 - (Tell a white lie)*
*(Hannah tells Hart's parents about their visit to the Eversun Branch of Light of Purity)*
**Hart's Father**: I see!
**Hannah**: Yep, I just picked hart up... from the Light of Purity. He had a good time.
**Hart's Father**: See, honey? Told you not to worry about it. It's not that serious.
**Hart's Mother**: Hindsight again. Can you take good care of him if I didn't give a shit!?
**Hart's Mother**: Thank goodness he's fine. Thank you so much. I knew the Light of Purity was made up of good people.
**Hart's Mother**: Looks like having our boy make more friends works better than constantly lecturing him at home.
**Player**: Yeah.
**Kitty**: Hart has alleviated our misunderstanding of the Light of Purity. We will honor your arrangement.
**Hart's Father**: If Hart ends up with the Light of Purity, we'll rest easy.
**Hart's Mother**: Not yet for me.
**Hart's Mother**: But I'm sure Light of Purity has the best doctors. They can turn my son into a normal person, right?
**Hart's Mother**: Please make sure his transformation is complete. We will be so grateful.
**Hart**: All right. I'll pack my stuff and go get 'turned' with them in a few days...
**Hannah**: Mom, dad, you must have waited at the door for so long. Get back in there and get some rest.
**Hart's Father**: Okay.
**Hart's Mother**: Sweetheart, I baked those reunion cakes this year, and the grilled meat is just done.
**Hart's Mother**: Come to the table after you walk out the guests!
*Hart's parents leave*
**Hart**: I knew it...
**Kitty**: Don't be sad. It's family time. You can still talk about something happy.
**Player**: Give them some more time. Don't be hasty.
**Hart**: Well, I wonder when I can be brave enough to speak my mind to them?
**Hannah**: I will keep it a secret until you wanna say it.
**Player**: ...
*Choice 10.2 - (Tell the truth)*
*(Tell Hart's parents what happened today)*
**Hart's Father**: That's terrible! Good thing you ran into some good people.
**Hart's Father**: Hannah, did they hurt you?
**Hannah**: I'm fine.
**Hart's Mother**: Hart, I'm not going anywhere until you are delivered to the Light of Purity. I'll keep an eye on you at home. Don't you run away again!
**Hart's Mother**: You must leave Eversun as soon as possible!
**Hannah**: Mom, Hart needs more time.
**Hart's Father**: Yeah honey. He needs to pack his stuff and say goodbye to his friends. They all take time.
**Hart's Mother**: No way. It's my call!
**Hart's Mother**: I'll send Phu to invite the contacts of Light of Purity later. We'll decide when Hart will go!
**Hart**: Okay. I'll listen to you.
**Hart**: Mom, dad, could you listen to me too?
**Hannah**: (Whisper) Hart, calm down...
**Hart's Father**: Son, no matter what you wanna say, as long as you're willing to talk to us, we'll always listen to you!
**Hart**: What I wanna say is...
**Hart**: Dad, mom.
**Hart**: I'm not a monster.
**Hart**: I can live well.
**Hart**: I'm sad that you always treat me well because you feel guilty, and that you think I'm sick.
**Hart**: You always think to 'love me' is to 'heal me!'
**Hart**: But I'm not a patient. I don't need that kind of care.
**Hart**: Even if I'll lose the privileges I'm having,
**Hart**: I must tell you one thing.
**Hart**: Stop denying that I'm a Gyee, and constantly trying to heal me!
**Hart**: I was ALWAYS a Gyee!
**Hart**: Please don't...
**Hart**: Please don't try to turn me into what you want me to be because you love me...
**Hart**: Please just accept who I am. Please.
**Hart**: ...
**Hart's Father**: Oh boy, what are you talking about? Mom and dad will always accept you.
**Hart's Mother**: Of course we will, but you can't just refuse treatment when you're sick.
**Hart's Mother**: We visited a famous doctor who specializes in healing Gyee today. He said...
**Hart's Father**: Honey, not now!
**Hart's Mother**: Your dad sees himself as the peacemaker.
**Hart's Mother**: You're always the good guy, but I'm the one who has to think about all the details regarding our child!
**Hart's Mother**: Not now? So when should I say it? When he loses his future, or becomes a monster!?
**Hart**: Stop it.
**Hart's Father**: All right. Hart's call. We'll stop it.
**Hart's Father**: We're celebrating the festival today. No doctor, no fight. No Gyees.
**Player**: ...
**Hart's Father**: Son, the reunion cakes were made by your mom this year, and the grilled meat is done cooking.
**Hart's Father**: Say goodbye to your friends and come to the table!
**Hart's Mother**: Thank you for taking care of my son.
**Hart's Mother**: Hannah, walk the guests out with Hart.
*Hart's parents leave*
**Hart**: I knew it...
**Kitty**: Don't be sad. You guys started to communicate with each other. That's much better 'cause they didn't even know what you're thinking before.
**Player**: Give them some more time. Don't be hasty.
**Hart**: You're right. At least I spoke my mind!
**Hart**: But...
**Hart**: Will they ever truly accept me?
**Hannah**: I'll be there waiting for that day with you.
**Player**: ...
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Hart**: Ahem, um...
**Hart**: I've forgiven you!
**Hannah**: Hart!
**Kitty**: Arrogant as always!
**Hart**: Hou is not on that Isle, but at least you guys are there...
**Hart**: So I can rest assured!
**Hannah**: Thanks for taking care of him.
**Hannah**: I'm sorry if he makes any trouble.
**Player**: It's okay.
**Player**: (Principal Vundo got another troublemaker to worry about...)
**Kitty**: Oh my! Almost forgot it!
**Kitty**: Billy is waiting for us!
**Player**: Just go...
**Hart**: See you on the Isle!
*Player and Kitty reunite with Billy*
**Billy**: Achoo!! It's a bit cold on the sea at night!
**Billy**: It's almost dawn! I was thinking where are you guys?
**Kitty**: Haha. We're here now!
**Kitty**: Alas. Eversun is so busy and prosperous. I'm missing it already!
**Player**: If you stay for a few more days, you can help send Hart to Never Isle!
**Kitty**: Huh? Forget it...
**Kitty**: We can't get along with each other! I'm afraid he's gonna run away again if I have a fight with him...
**Player**: ...
**Billy**: By the way, how about Hart?
**Player**: He has gone back home with his sister. He will go to Never Isle after packing up.
**Billy**: Haha, that's great!
**Kitty**: I'm exhausted. It's such a long trip!
**Kitty**: We got into a spat with the Monster Family in Eversun Lane and even made friends with some of the monsters.
**Kitty**: In Forest of Mystic Swamp we defeated the boars and the White Capes, and we made friends with Rand. He was nice.
**Billy**: Looks like I missed a lot of excitement!
**Billy**: Kitty, you gotta tell me the details after we take off.
**Kitty**: Sure!
**Billy**: Do you think Hart's parents will finally understand him?
**Kitty**: Well... I don't think prejudice can be eliminated that easily.
**Kitty**: Well, actually I don't know.
**Kitty**: I was already in orphanage when I realized it, and I don't know what it feels like to have parents...
**Kitty**: But I saw how much Hart's parents love their son!
**Kitty**: They almost lost each other in the crisis. I'm sure their relationship can only get better!
**Player**: Hart is willing to communicate with them now. That's already a positive change.
**Player**: Most importantly, as Rand said, you gotta know the direction of your heart.
**Billy**: I'll go on travelling around the world!
**Billy**: Anyway, our mission of helping the Light of Purity is done.
**Player**: Alas. Thank goodness we lived up to Eddie's bragging!
**Player**: After the festival, gotta go collect the information about the Metal Nexus!
**Billy**: Achoo!! Okay!
**Kitty**: Look! The Galaxy Lamps are flying!
*The three watch the gently floating lamps rise out over the ocean*
