Lukka & Hank

'Hank, do something!'

*Lukka & Hank - Itinerant Trader*

*Their souls were bound because of some forbidden spell*

*Bound souls, connected fates.*

## Intro

Once the boss of a gang, Lukka had countless enemies. To run away from them, he regained youth through a forbidden trick and spent a large sum of money hiring the Nirvanians, who planed to prolong his life through a special spell. Bearman Hank used to be a member of a mercenary group Wild Bears, which was, however, almost completely destroyed in a battle against the Shadows in the Red Desert. That was the most enjoyable and fierce battle Hank had ever had, and he was ready to meet his brothers in another world. Right at that moment, he was found by the Nirvanians. As Furry Gyees contain huge life energy, the Nirvanians made Hank the life donor of Lukka, who, however, couldn't bear to take all of Hank's life energy and stopped the ceremony halfway. Although Hank had a narrow escape, his life has been linked to Lukka's.

Lukka failed to prolong his life while Hank failed to meet his brothers. What's worse, they must stay together all the time. Even a short distance can kill them both. Lukka regretted his mercy, while Hank blamed Lukka for keeping him alive. He once tried committing suicide, but it turned out Lukka would also be injured when he was hurt. Hank was too kind to kill Lukka, and Lukka was also suffering because he could no longer live the life he had lived, thanks to Hank's huge body. After Hank destroyed Lukka's house by sitting on it, Lukka had to build a new home on this big guy's shoulder.

That's how the two of them started a journey to find a way to separate themselves.

* **Gaar**: Lukka and Hank? Yeah! They are itinerant traders, and they only trade rare stuff. They had several conflicts with Sword of Light. Pity they don't sell Hank, and won't even let me touch him. I mean, how can they do that?

The reason for their casualties was the Wild Bears! There were only 15 of them, but they stopped tens of thousands of Shadows, at the price of their lives... Luxium would have fallen if it weren't for them. I heard Hank is the only survivor of the Wild Bears. I would like to thank him in person if possible.
*Bernard's Intimacy reaches Lv.8 to unlock*
* **Middle-aged Nobleman's Comment**: See the scarf I'm wearing? Rare, handmade with River Bend silk. I bought it from a Cannye named Lukka!
* **White Cape Swordsman**: These guys blew up one of our outposts and killed dozens of our people. They are wanted by our headquarters in Crossport. Whoever takes them out gets 500000 gold!
* **Red Harbor Mercenary**: I worked with Hank years ago. How should I describe him... Just trust me, you don't wanna be his enemy!

### Consolation Letter

**1st Letter**

(Wow, beautiful handwriting!)

Hey, as I told you, I'm an itinerant trader. Let me know if you have business! I'm good partner to work with! You can find my contact below.

By the way, Hank has lot to tell you, but I didn't remember what he said. Anyway, the point is, he would like to buy you a drink one day. That's all!

**2nd Letter**

(Neat handwriting...)

Hey buddy, this is Hank! My handwriting is terrible, so I asked Lukka to write for me, but that bastard only wrote a single sentence!!

So I ask someone else for help this time. Here's what I wanted to say.

Hey buddy, this is Hank! Thank you for that in Arcana Academy. Although Lukka and I are still linked, at least we have hope now. We are leaving Never Isle for Elysiann on business, so it will be a while till we meet again. If you need anything, tell me. I'll bring it to you! Let's go have a drink when I'm back!

### Bath Drama

* The goods are too heavy today. I better take some time to relax...
* Hank! Give me a back rub!
* Hehe, back in the day, I used to bath with the Bear Gang like this...

### Fave Hottie Slogan

**Hank:** Hey, the shop just opened. Will you look after it for a bit?
**Lukka:** What he means is, hand over all your votes!

### Intimacy Breakthrough

**This section contains spoilers for Intimacy Breakthrough scenes.**

**-Intimacy Level 4**

*Outside the Arcana Academy...*
**Player**: So? What did Principal Vundo say?
**Hank**: ...
**Lukka**: ...
**Player**: I could already guess... the result...
**Lukka**: The Arcana Academy has never seen this kind of arcana rite. There're no written records either...
**Lukka**: They don't have a solution...
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: It's not completely hopeless. As long as we find information about the Tabooed Arcana for life extension...
**Hank**: There's still a chance.
**Hank**: Before we find those information, guess I'll just have to put up with you for a few more years.
**Lukka**: YOU put up with ME?
**Lukka**: Don't get me started!
**Hank**: Haha, forget it, okay. Let's go get a drink!
**Lukka**: Hey! I am talking to you!
**Hank**: Player, wanna come along?

**-Intimacy Level 5**

*Lukka inspects Hottie Bar...*
**Lukka**: Player, didn't think you'd have such good taste.
**Lukka**: A classy bar, a swimming pool, and there're even floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
**Lukka**: Simply perfect.
*Plop!*
*Hank dives into the pool, and the splash soaks Lukka from head to toe.*
**Lukka**: Except for the stupid bear.
**Lukka**: Sigh...
**Hank**: Player! Lukka! Come on! The water is perfect!

**-Intimacy Level 6**

*Inside Hottie Bar...*
*Hank is carrying a massive keg of wine.*
**Lukka**: Player~
**Player**: You're my guest here at Hottie Bar, you don't need to bring me anything.
**Lukka**: We were doing business in Elysiann. This guy Hank insisted on getting you some souvenir.
**Hank**: Hehe, this wine is the second best I've ever drunk!
**Hank**: Come have a taste!
**Player**: Second best? So what was the best you've ever had?
**Hank**: Well, that's Bear Gang Black Ale of course!
**Hank**: But I'll never get to drink that again.
**Player**: ?
**Hank**: Hehe, I've gone off topic. This wine's great too!
*Hank hands you a glass and picks up a big bowl for himself.*
**Lukka**: Hey! Don't get drunk!
**Player**: Getting drunk is the fun part of drinking.
**Hank**: That's right! Player knows me.
**Lukka**: Oh... Fine...
**Lukka**: You bear the consequences yourself.
**Hank**: What are you trying to say? I'm not a violent drunk!
**Lukka**: It's true you don't get violent...
*Hank hands a glass to Lukka, who waves his hand in rejection...*
**Lukka**: Leave me out of it, one of us got to stay sober.
*Hank fills your glass, then pours himself a big bowlful...*
**Hank**: Come on brothers! Cheers!
**Player**: Cheers!
*Hank tilts his head back, and the big bowl full of wine is emptied in an instant...*
**Player**: Wow! Impressive!
**Hank**: Haha!
*After three rounds...*
*Hank seems a little drunk...*
**Hank**: Player, my brother...
**Hank**: I haven't... had so much fun drinking in a long time...
**Hank**: Drinking with you reminds me of the old days...
**Lukka**: Here we go...
**Hank**: Back then in the Bear Gang, all 15 of us brothers would sit together...
*Hank recites the names of all 15 members of the Bear Gang...*
*Then starts to talk about the Bear Gang's past...*
*...*
**Lukka**: I told you.
*Listening to Hank talk about the past is quite...*
*Hank pulls you into a bear hug...*
**Hank**: Robert! You've gotten so thin!
**Player**: Who's Ro... Robert?
**Lukka**: The youngest and smallest member of their Bear Gang...
**Hank**: I told you, you have to eat more meat, to grow big and strong.
**Hank**: You have to get strong to...
*Hank's fur is soft, comfortable and warm...*
*But he begins to squeeze harder and harder. In order to avoid being suffocated, you struggle to free yourself from his grasp.*
*Hank keeps talking about the past...*
*Sometimes he gets upset and cries miserably...*
*Other times he gets happy and laughs loudly to himself...*
*Hank had experienced a lot with the Bear Gang.*
**Lukka**: Yeah, spending day and night with a bunch of muscle heads...
**Lukka**: Suits him perfectly.
**Player**: Then why did he leave?
**Lukka**: He didn't want to, but...
**Hank**: Huh, have I fallen asleep? It's getting late.
**Hank**: Player, brother, today has been great fun!
**Player**: Don't you remember?
**Hank**: Did something happen?
**Player**: No, no!
**Hank**: Just now I dreamt about my brother Robert!
**Hank**: That kid is still as thin as a stick, hahahaha...

**-Intimacy Level 7**

*Airship bridge...*
**Lukka**: Player, is the Hottie Bar free?
**Player**: It's not busy at the moment.
**Hank**: Great, this is for you.
*Hank throws you a bag of gold...*
*It's so heavy that you almost couldn't catch it...*
**Lukka**: I'm booking the entire Hottie Bar!
**Player**: Wow, so much money. You guys must have made a fortune.
**Hank**: Hehe, we got some handcrafted scarves from River Bend Town last time and made some money selling them.
**Hank**: So, we want to celebrate with you.
**Lukka**: Well, this is the only place on Never Isle that Hank likes. Plus, it's classy.
**Hank**: Just admit it, everyone knows you want to see Player too!
**Lukka**: Who... who said that?
*A few moments later...*
*Hottie Bar...*
**Lukka**: Sure enough, it feels great to have the entire place to ourselves.
*Lukka takes a sip of his Light of the Light...*
**Lukka**: Hahaha, c'est la vie.
**Hank**: Lukka, don't just drink by yourself.
**Hank**: Let's make a toast!
**Lukka**: A toast? That's so lame. Wine is for savoring and for appreciation.
**Hank**: Fine ... fine ...
**Hank**: Are you coming or not? Otherwise we'll drink without you.
**Lukka**: Fine, just this time, for you guys.
**Player**: Wish you a very successful business!
**Player**: Cheers!
**Lukka**: Cheers!
**Hank**: Cheers!
*A few moments later...*
*Hank begins to talk...*
**Player**: Once Hank begins to talk about his past, he couldn't stop.
**Lukka**: Let him talk. It's been tough for him lately.
**Lukka**: It's only at this moment he could be truly happy.
**Player**: I didn't know you care about him so much.
**Lukka**: Of course, it's normal for big brother to take care of his little brother!
*Hank takes a big sip of wine...*
**Hank**: Hehe, back then, our Bear Gang was the No.1 mercenary in Luxium!
**Lukka**: Yes... of course...
**Hank**: Let me tell you, the big bro who brought me into the gang, he once...
**Lukka**: He once destroyed all the Shadows all by himself.
**Hank**: Haha, not only that...
**Lukka**: He did it without a scratch on himself.
**Hank**: Oh? You already knew...
**Lukka**: You've only told me like 60 times or so.
**Hank**: Then let me tell you the story of our vice commander!
**Lukka**: I mean, Hank, if your mercenary gang was really that strong, how come you were completely wiped out?
**Hank**: !!!
**Hank**: ...
*Hank takes another big sip of wine...*
*But this time, he doesn't say a word...*
**Player**: The Bear Gang was completely wiped out?
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: Humph!
*A few moments later...*
**Lukka**: So... Hank... I... I...
**Lukka**: I shouldn't have said that... I apologize...
**Hank**: Huff, puff...
**Lukka**: Hank?
**Hank**: Huff, puff...
*Hank has fallen asleep...*
**Lukka**: (Fist clenched)
**Lukka**: Arghh, this idiot! When I separate from you, the first thing I do is to kill you!
*Lukka punches Hank heavily...*
**Hank**: Huff, puff...
**Lukka**: Ouch... it hurts...
**Hank**: Zzzz... Lukka... such a self-obsessed... bastard... zzz...
**Lukka**: You stupid bear!
*Hank turns around while sleeping, falls off the counter and almost lands on Lukka...*
**Hank**: Huff, puff...
*Scene transition*
**Lukka**: Stupid bear, one day I'm going to kill you!
**Player**: Easy, calm down. Hank didn't do it on purpose.
**Lukka**: I would have died a long time ago if I had taken him seriously.
**Player**: What should we do now? We can't just let him sleep on the floor, can we?
**Lukka**: It's fine, leave him alone. He'll sober up later.
**Player**: Alright.
*Lukka gets more wine from the keg...*
**Lukka**: The day I met Hank, he was so badly hurt that he was at his last breath.
**Lukka**: The Nirvans made him a tabooed arcana life source.
**Lukka**: They were about to inject his remaining life energy into my body.
**Lukka**: When the rite began, I could see his memory...
*Lukka takes a big gulp of wine...*
**Lukka**: Their mercenary gang of 15 people was swallowed by a flood of Shadows...
**Lukka**: They were incredible fighters. The 15 of them killed thousands of Shadows...
**Player**: !!
**Lukka**: But the Shadows' charge was never-ending. One after another, they died in that fight...
**Lukka**: Hank was the last one to fall.
**Lukka**: And then I saw some earlier memories of Hank...
*Lukka takes another big gulp of wine...*
**Lukka**: Hank used to hang out with his people from the mercenary gang all day...
**Lukka**: They were quite famous. They had a lot of commissions and made a lot of money. But they spent all the money on drinking, eating and buying gears...
**Lukka**: Every time they won a fight, they would drink and laugh together!
**Lukka**: Even when they lost a fight, they would drink and laugh together...
**Lukka**: Like... like idiots...
**Lukka**: How could idiots like them exist in the world?
**Player**: Simplicity was their happiness.
**Lukka**: Simplicity? How simple?
**Lukka**: As simple as stupid Hank and his idiot brothers? Spill their guts in front of everyone?
**Lukka**: That was because they have never been betrayed!
**Lukka**: When I was young, hundreds of Cannyes were under my protection!
**Lukka**: But when I got old, none of them remembered me. They found a wolf Gyee to be their boss...
**Lukka**: Luckily, I had been very cautious with them since the beginning.
**Lukka**: Otherwise, my head would have been on a spike!
**Player**: Or maybe it was because you'd never truly trusted your brothers. That's why they left you...
*It looks like Lukka doesn't hear you...*
*Lukka finishes his wine...*
**Lukka**: I've been travelling together with Hank for 6 years now. I've never seen him smile so happily, like he once did.
**Lukka**: Am I just not good enough to be your brother?
**Lukka**: I... I also want to truly, genuinely...
**Lukka**: Even just for once, laugh...
**Lukka**: Player! I must have drunk way too much, sorry about that!
**Player**: It's fine, this is what a celebration is for...
**Lukka**: What I said were all lies!
**Lukka**: If you tell anyone... I'll kill you!
**Player**: I won't... I won't...
**Player**: Did Lukka... fall asleep as well?
**Player**: What should I do? I should probably go and get some blankets. They're going to catch a cold sleeping on the floor.
**Hank**: Hey! Player, sorry, I got drunk again.
**Player**: Oh, Hank, you woke up?
**Hank**: Thank you for the blanket...
**Player**: You're welcome!
**Hank**: I just didn't expect Lukka to get drunk too. That's rare!
**Hank**: Finally, he has gotten off his high horse and relaxed himself.
**Player**: Hmm... kind of...
**Hank**: What? Bro? Did Lukka get drunk and make a fool of himself...
**Player**: Not in that way...
**Player**: He told me what happened to you 6 years ago and the stories of your Bear Gang...
**Hank**: Um...
**Player**: Ah, I shouldn't have brought that up. You guys came here today to celebrate your commercial success.
**Hank**: It doesn't matter.
**Hank**: During these 6 years with Lukka, I have always been drinking. Only when I get drunk could I find myself from the past.
**Hank**: I shouldn't do this anymore...
**Hank**: It's time for me to face what happened 6 years ago!
**Hank**: What did Lukka tell you?
**Player**: He said you guys were surrounded by the Shadows, and you were wiped out...
**Hank**: That is true...
**Player**: I... I'm sorry...
**Hank**: 6 years ago, there was a traitor in our Bear Gang!
**Player**: What?
**Hank**: Why, in the desert, in the middle of nowhere, would there be thousands of Shadows?
**Hank**: Obviously, someone wanted us dead!
**Hank**: And only our brothers in the gang would know the exact location of our camp everyday.
**Hank**: The only explanation is there was a traitor in our gang!
**Player**: But you guys were like real brothers. Who would betray you?
**Hank**: I'm not sure, I don't have a clue...
**Hank**: But I'm going to find him and avenge our gang!
**Hank**: Anyway, that could only happen after I separate from Lukka...
**Hank**: I can't involve this little guy into my own problem!
**Hank**: Lukka is very good. I'm the one that's dragging him behind all these years while we were traveling as merchants.
**Hank**: He would be much better off without me...
**Hank**: It's time to find those Nirvans!
**Player**: Find? What's your plan?
**Hank**: Hehe, never underestimate a Bear Gang member when he's serious!
**Hank**: Player! Thank you for the hospitality today! I should take him back!
**Player**: Before you go, take your money with you!
**Hank**: This is the money for booking Hottie Bar...
**Player**: I know, but you'll need money to find those Nirvans!
**Hank**: No, bro, this is...
**Player**: It's free to drink at the Hottie bar, that's my rule!
**Hank**: Okay! Thank you so much bro!

**-Intimacy Level 8**

*Airship bridge...*
**Lukka**: ...
**Hank**: Player, did you know there was once a Center of Tabooed Arcana in BlackFlame City?
**Player**: Center of Tabooed Arcana?
**Player**: It seems to ring a bell.
**Hank**: A few days ago we went to BlackFlame City for business...
**Hank**: We heard some customers mention this Center of Tabooed Arcana.
**Hank**: According to those customers, this center is probably the Nirvan's base!
**Player**: If that's the case, then you've found the Nirvans!
**Hank**: But the Center of Tabooed Arcana has already been closed down...
**Hank**: All that's left is a damaged abandoned building, no clues at all.
**Hank**: Player, do you know anything about this Center of Tabooed Arcana?
**Player**: I really don't know much about this Center of Tabooed Arcana.
**Player**: But when it comes to questions about BlackFlame City, you can ask Miles and the Oathblades!
**Player**: The Oathblades have a base in BlackFlame City. They should know something.
**Hank**: Brother Miles!
**Hank**: Hehe! Great! Thanks, Player!
**Hank**: Lukka, let's hurry!
**Lukka**: Why don' you wait for me outside!
*Lukka climbs down from Hank's shoulders...*
**Lukka**: I got to go to the toilet!
**Hank**: Oh.
*Hank leaves the bridge...*
**Player**: Lukka, why do you look unhappy today?
**Lukka**: Hank doesn't know how frightening the Nirvans are...
**Player**: Frightening? That doesn't sound like something boss Lukka would say.
*Lukka looks up at you...*
**Lukka**: Compared to the Nirvans, us gangsters are just a bunch of kids in the park...
**Lukka**: In their eyes, lives are nothing but toys.
**Player**: Wow, impressive!
**Player**: But if you want to separate...
**Lukka**: I know!
**Lukka**: I can't wait to separate from that stupid bear!
**Lukka**: But I don't want to lose my life... because of it... either...
**Lukka**: Forget it...
**Lukka**: You think the Nirvans are easy to find?
*Continue to Trifle*

**-Intimacy Level 9**

**Hank**: Hey! Player!
**Player**: Hank! Haven't seen you for a while!
**Hank**: Haha, yes!
**Player**: Miles told me you didn't join the Oathblades...
**Player**: That was a surprise!
**Hank**: Haha, I've been traveling all these years. I'm just not used to settling down.
**Hank**: So I'm going back to my old ways, back to being a mercenary!
**Hank**: Today I came back to talk about the good old days!
**Player**: Let's go! To Hottie Bar!
*Inside Hottie Bar...*
**Player**: Back to being a mercenary must be a good feeling.
**Hank**: Well... yes and no...
**Player**: Why did you say that?
**Hank**: Being a mercenary isn't as profitable as being a merchant, but it's more than enough for me.
**Hank**: And being a mercenary allows me to fight. I like that too
**Hank**: Plus, using moves Lukka taught me, I can now win battles I couldn't before.
**Player**: Isn't that great?
**Hank**: Well, I feel strange, like something's missing...
**Hank**: Every time I win a battle, sure I'm happy, but not as happy as before...
**Hank**: Not even as happy as when we closed a business deal.
**Player**: Maybe you're just not used to your new life yet.
**Hank**: Also... out there I always think of you...
**Hank**: Feels like there's no place with better drinks than Hottie Bar!
**Player**: Cheers to that!
*After several rounds...*
**Hank**: Hahaha, when I ran a business with Lukka in the past...
**Hank**: One time we had to go into a cave. Guess what happened?
**Hank**: In the cave, he kept holding onto my neck like his life depended on it!
**Hank**: Lukka's scared of the dark!
**Player**: Huh? Our Gangster Boss is scared of the dark!
**Hank**: Hahaha, who would've thought...
**Hank**: Speaking of which, it's been a while since I last saw the little guy!
**Hank**: Wonder what he's up to now?
**Player**: Hasn't Lukka contacted you?
**Hank**: No. Knowing him, he's never going to make the first move to contact me.
**Player**: Have you tried to contact him?
**Hank**: No...
**Hank**: I think Lukka's doing just fine without me.
**Hank**: He can buy his precious shiny rocks all he likes...
**Hank**: He can live however he likes without worrying about my feelings.
**Hank**: With Lukka's brain, I guess he's probably back to his old position as a boss.
**Player**: If you miss him, you should try to get in touch...
**Player**: I think Lukka must be waiting for your news!

**-Intimacy Level 10**

**Billy**: Captain, someone sent you a letter.
**Player**: Letter? For me?
*Opens letter...*
**Lukka's letter**: Player, is the Hottie Bar free? I want to book the whole place!
**Player**: This guy finally shows up.
*From behind you comes Lukka's voice...*
**Lukka**: So? Can I book the entire Hottie Bar?
**Player**: Of course you can!
**Player**: Haven't heard from you for so long. What brings you here today?
**Lukka**: I'm on Never Isle for business. Thought I'd drop by.
*Moments later, at Hottie Bar...*
**Player**: Lukka, haven't heard from you for so long. Did you have much success reviving your gang?
**Lukka**: Yeah... better than I expected, but worse than I hoped.
**Lukka**: On the good side, I recruited a few lackeys...
**Lukka**: On the bad side, our Cannyes don't have very good delivery speed. They messed up a couple of deals...
**Lukka**: But mainly the problem is the lack of battle strength. We couldn't win fights when we clash with opposing gangs.
**Player**: What? Even you have problems winning fights? Are your lackeys not following your orders?
**Lukka**: Following orders? Those bunch of morons are useless. Even I can't help them...
**Lukka**: Sometimes, I really miss that guy Hank.
**Lukka**: He's a stubborn old fool, but he knows how to fight!
**Player**: Get in touch with him then. He misses you too!
**Lukka**: Really?
**Player**: You can hire him as a bodyguard!
**Lukka**: It's true. With Hank's help, those hooligans really don't stand a chance!
**Lukka**: But... Hank... must be doing pretty well now, right?
**Lukka**: Without me nagging him...
**Player**: How would you know unless you get in touch with him?
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: Oh... forget it!
**Lukka**: I don't want him to mess up my new house!
**Lukka**: Back when I was young, I formed my gang relying only on Cannyes!
**Lukka**: If this deal goes well...
**Lukka**: Then I can make a comeback!
**Lukka**: When the deal is done, I'll invite you and Hank over to hang out!
**Player**: Well, I'll wait for your good news!

**-Intimacy Level 11**

*Never Isle*
**Hank**: Player, is something wrong? What's the emergency?
**Player**: Hank, look...
*You hand the bloodstained ransom letter to Hank...*
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: !!
**Hank**: Red Harbor Forest, I know this place! Let's go!
**Player**: Hank, calm down!
**Player**: Read the letter carefully first...
**Hank**: 'Flo, Lukka is in our hands. If you want to save him, bring a million gold to the Red Harbor Forest to pay for his debt. Otherwise, I'll send you his head! -- Black Paw'
**Hank**: Flo?
**Player**: Hank, do you know who Flo is?
**Hank**: Never heard of it.
**Hank**: Maybe it's Lukka's new friend...
**Hank**: (NickName}, how did the ransom letter end up in your hands?
**Player**: My friend at Rupor Show found the letter, and he handed it to me...
**Hank**: No matter what, Lukka is in danger! Let's go!
**Player**: Since we can't get in touch with Flo, Lukka can only depend on us!
*Scene transition*
**Yang**: What did you say? You lost the ransom letter?
**Cannye Gang**: Boss! I'm sorry!
**Cannye Gang**: I went to see the Rupor Show when I passed by Never Isle...
**Yang**: So you just took off before finishing your job!
**Yang**: I'm gonna chop your head off...
**Hank**: Lukka! Where are you?
**Player**: Lukka!
**Yang**: ...
**Yang**: I'll spare you for now!
**Cannye Gang**: Thank you boss! Thank you!
**Yang**: We have visitors. Everyone, get ready!
**Cannye Gangsters**: Yes, sir!
**Hank**: Lukka, are you here?
**Player**: Lukka!
**Hank**: !!
**Hank**: Lukka! Where is Lukka!
**Yang**: Where are you going? What's the hurry?
**Hank**: Who are you? Release Lukka!
**Player**: Yang?
**Yang**: Player?
**Hank**: You know each other?
**Player**: Yeah... you can say that...
**Player**: Yang, it's a misunderstanding. The Cannye is our friend.
**Yang**: Misunderstanding? This guy owes us Black Paw a million gold!
**Yang**: Bring us the money, and we'll let him go!
**Hank**: Cut the crap! Release Lukka right now!
**Yang**: Oh? You want a fight? Let's see if your fist is faster than my blade!
**Hank**: Hmm...
**Hank**: We don't have that much money on us...
**Yang**: Then you can't blame me.
**Hank**: But I have 10 thousand gold. I can give you that now.
**Yang**: Oh? Then why are you still talking?
**Hank**: I have one condition. You must release Lukka first!
**Yang**: You don't even have enough money, yet you want to bargain with me?
**Hank**: You release Lukka now, and I'll give you the 10 thousand gold...
**Hank**: And I'll pay the rest to you later.
**Hank**: If you kill Lukka, you won't get even a penny...
**Hank**: And I'll kill all of you.
**Yang**: Are you threatening me? Stupid bear?
**Yang**: Surround them!
*Completely surrounded, Hank doesn't move...*
**Hank**: Just by thugs like you?
**Hank**: Come on!
**Cannye Gangster A**: Yikes!
**Cannye Gangster B**: Boss... perhaps... we should?
**Yang**: A bunch of trash! If you dare to run away, I'm going to cut your heads off!
**Cannye Gangster B**: Woo...
**Hank**: This has nothing to do with you, but if you stand in my way...
**Hank**: You guys can't even warm me up!
**Player**: Yang, you just want to have your money back, right?
**Player**: There's no need to make such a big scene...
**Yang**: (The bear scared the hell out of these kids. It's not a good time for a fight.)
**Yang**: Fine, I'll give you 6 months. In 6 months, you are going to pay 1.5 million gold, with interest!
**Hank**: Deal!
**Yang**: Hey! Bring Lukka over!
**Player**: Lukka is fine. He just passed out.
*Hank throws a bag of gold to Yang...*
**Yang**: I'll make this an exception... in 6 months, if you play tricks with me...
**Yang**: You're all going to die miserably!
**Hank**: We'll pay back every penny that we owe you!
**Yang**: Let's go!
**Player**: Hank, I never thought you could save Lukka from Yang.
**Hank**: Hehe, Lukka once said money is the only thing robbers care about...
**Hank**: Just make them an acceptable offer.
**Lukka**: (Sleep talking) Hank, attack!
**Hank**: Lukka!
**Player**: He's talking in his sleep. He must have seen you in his dreams.
**Lukka**: (Sleep talking) Hank, finish him!

**-Intimacy Level 12**

*After rescuing Lukka, you leave Red Harbor Forest*
*Outside the Kaist Church clinic on Never Isle*
**Player**: The Kaism Hierophant examined him already. Lukka is fine. He'll wake up in a while.
**Hank**: Great! Then I better go, brother!
**Player**: Huh? Are you in a hurry, Hank?
**Hank**: No.
**Player**: Then let's wait for Lukka to wake up. You miss him, don't you?
**Hank**: I'm not waiting for him to wake up...
**Player**: Huh?
**Hank**: Also, Player, please don't tell him I was here.
**Player**: But you're the one who saved Lukka!
**Hank**: He'd saved my life before. We're even!
**Hank**: I... don't want to affect his life.
**Hank**: Don't worry about his debt to the gangsters. I'll just take on a few more jobs and take care of it.
**Hank**: When he wakes up, tell him not to borrow money from others...
**Kaism Hierophant**: Player, the patient is awake.
**Player**: Okay, thanks!
*Hank instinctively dashes towards the room, but stops at the door...*
**Hank**: Player, thanks...
**Player**: ...
*In the clinic...*
**Lukka**: Those dogs, they've gone too far!
**Player**: Lukka, are you awake?
**Lukka**: Player! Did you save me?
**Lukka**: How did you know I was captured by the Black Paw?
**Player**: I came across the ransom letter by accident at the Rupor Show.
**Player**: Speaking of which, the ransom letter was addressed to someone called Flo. Who's Flo?
**Lukka**: There's no one called Flo. I made up the name...
**Player**: Huh? Why?
**Lukka**: Remember the last time I drank with you?
**Lukka**: I bet all I've got on one business deal.
**Lukka**: During the delivery, the goods got robbed by bandits. I had to pay through my nose...
**Lukka**: I admitted defeat, and when the Black Paws came for the debt, I had no way to fight back...
**Lukka**: I just made up a name so that when the Black Paws find out, they'd kill me, and that'd be the end of it...
**Player**: But you still have me, and Hank!
**Lukka**: You have your own life to live, and Hank finally gets to be a mercenary again...
**Lukka**: Plus, I lost all the money Hank and I'd made as traveling merchants.
**Lukka**: I don't have the capital to start again.
*From outside the room comes a loud thud, like the sound of a hammer striking a wall.*
*Followed by a 'bang!' Then the door bursts open...*
**Hank**: Do you know what trash you are talking about?
**Lukka**: Hank?
**Hank**: Lukka, you are braking my heart!
**Lukka**: It's none of your business that I'm ruined. What are you so heart broken for?
**Hank**: You didn't even tell me when you were in danger. You don't even see me as a brother!
**Hank**: And just because of a stupid business setback, you wanna give up? That's not the Lukka I know!
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: This is not the same...
**Lukka**: Because of this failure, I'm now full of debt. I have no money and no way to gather men...
**Lukka**: Without manpower, I have no way to make money.
**Lukka**: I have no way out!
**Hank**: You bastard! When will you see me as your brother?
**Hank**: I'm your brother! I don't want your money!
**Lukka**: !!
**Hank**: So what if you're broke and your business failed?
**Hank**: We can always go back to being traveling merchants and make some money!
**Player**: ...
**Lukka**: You've joined the Oathblades. You have your own brothers now, don't worry about me...
**Hank**: I didn't join the Oathblades! Yes, I have my own brothers, but that doesn't mean I can't worry about you!
**Lukka**: You...
**Lukka**: I don't need you to clean up my mess!
**Player**: Okay Lukka, don't be so stubborn!
**Player**: You miss Hank, and Hank misses you!
**Lukka**: Hank... misses me?
**Hank**: Yes, even if I don't want to admit it...
**Hank**: But without you by my side, winning battles aren't fun anymore.
**Lukka**: You jackass...
*Lukka jumps up and clings onto Hank's neck...*
**Lukka**: Jackass! You have no idea how much I miss you!
**Lukka**: After six years with you, any other bed I sleep on is as hard as rock!
**Hank**: Good!
**Hank**: Lukka, I feel my fur getting wet. Are you crying?
**Lukka**: What the hell are you talking about? Are you high!
**Hank**: Huh? Oh...
**Player**: Hahaha...
**Lukka**: Don't laugh!

**-Intimacy Level 13**

*Hottie Bar...*
*Hank throws you a bag of gold...*
*It's so heavy that you almost couldn't catch it...*
**Lukka**: I'm booking the whole Hottie Bar!
**Player**: Yo, that's a lot of money. You've gotten rich!
**Hank**: Hehe, we had a good deal and made a small fortune.
**Lukka**: This time I will have Hank. Thieves and robbers will stay out of our way!
**Lukka**: The deliveries went smoothly as planned!
**Lukka**: Tonight we drink till we drop!
**Lukka**: Hahaha!
*Inside Hottie Bar...*
*Lukka takes out two large bowls and a glass and fills them all with wine...*
**Player**: Lukka? Why did you pour two bowls?
**Lukka**: Hank always drinks with bowls.
**Player**: But what about the other one?
**Lukka**: That's for me!
**Player**: Eh?
*Lukka hands you the full glass...*
**Lukka**: To celebrate my first step towards rebuilding my empire! Come on! Cheers!
*After three rounds...*
*Lukka got drunk very quickly after drinking from a bowl...*
*He passes out at the Bar...*
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Hank, is Lukka not acting like himself today?
**Hank**: Haha, he's been like this ever since we made a profit from this deal...
**Hank**: You better get used to it!
**Player**: I've known you guys for so long, never seen him this happy...
**Hank**: Yeah, it was quite a surprise to me!
**Player**: Maybe this is the real Lukka?
**Player**: He used to put on the mask of being skeptical and cautious, which makes him appear devious and unkind...
**Player**: Without those excessive layers of baggage, Lukka is actually a candid and warm Cannye.
**Hank**: Hahaha, Player, that's where you're wrong...
**Hank**: This is still the guy who would take advantage of me when I'm unaware, still the same old cunning merchant!
**Player**: Hahaha, really?
**Hank**: Would I lie to you? Player, cheers!
*A few moments later...*
*The alcohol starts to take effect...*
**Hank**: Say Player, are you still my brother?
**Player**: Of course! Why do you ask?
**Hank**: Then why is it that when I'm with you, I'm even happier and more excited than when I was with other brothers.
**Player**: I don't know. What do you think?
*It seems Hank didn't hear what you said...*
**Hank**: Player, it really is amazing when you think about it!
**Hank**: If we hadn't met you in the marsh back then, Lukka and I wouldn't have been able to break the spell on our bodies!
**Hank**: Lukka and I probably couldn't stand the sight of each other!
**Hank**: In the end, we wouldn't have become traveling merchants again!
**Hank**: Why does it feel like you split us up and then put us back together again?
**Player**: Urr, I don't know what to say...
**Hank**: But I like it this way! Thank you, Player!
*Another little while later...*
*The alcohol breaks the final barrier to his train of thought...*
**Hank**: Hey? Player!
**Player**: What's up my man Hank?
**Hank**: You just said that skepticism and caution was his mask, and he'd been wearing it the whole time.
**Player**: Yeah... right...
**Hank**: If that's the case, then to you I've always been stark naked!
**Player**: Huh?
**Hank**: Player, I think you've been taking advantage of me...
**Player**: Eh?
**Hank**: No! I gotta... get it back!
**Player**: Huh? What're you doing?
**Hank**: Hehe, nothing... much...
*Before he could finish his sentence, Hank seems to have passed out...*
*His body sways to the side, about to fall off the bar stool...*
**Player**: Watch out!
*You hold onto Hank with all your strength, trying to stop him from falling over...*
*But Hank is too heavy, and the two of you fall over together...*
*You fall squarely onto Hank's stomach...*
*You want to get back up, but Hank's arm holds you firmly in his embrace...*
*Your head buried deeply in the thick fur of his chest...*
*Hank's fur is soft and fluffy, and his body is warm...*
**Hank**: Player... like... phew...
*Although Hank isn't using any strength, his arm prevents you from struggling free...*
*Maybe it's the alcohol, and maybe Hank's fur is just too comfortable...*
*Your eyelids become unfathomably heavy...*
*Before long, Lukka also falls off from his bar stool...*
*Squarely onto Hank's shoulder...*
*Lukka clings onto Hank tightly, and Hank firmly wraps you and Lukka into a tight embrace...*

### Dates

**This section contains spoilers for Date scenes.**

**Merchant**

**-Intro**

*Never Isle...*
**Lukka**: Stupid bear! Why don't you keep your mouth shut?
**Hank**: Why should I? it was clearly your fault!
**Player**: Why are they fighting again...
**Player**: (Go and find out...)
*Scene transition*
**Player**: Why were you guys fighting again?
**Hank**: Player! Bro! You're just in time!
**Hank**: You be the judge!
**Lukka**: Sure! Let Player see how stupid you are!
**Player**: What happened?
**Lukka**: This morning, we were trading with a noble of Never Isle...
**Lukka**: And we were going to sell the Clear Water Sapphire we got from Sea of Storms.
**Player**: Clear Water Sapphire? What is it?
**Lukka**: It's a very popular gem among the nobles with very high value.
**Lukka**: It's rare to find goods from the Sea of Storm in the midwest of Luxium, even more rare for Clear Water Sapphire.
**Lukka**: That's why I wanted to raise the price!
**Lukka**: I praised the rarity of this gem to the nobleman, and he also agreed.
**Lukka**: When he was about to pay, Hank told him the truth...
**Lukka**: They immediately flipped the table, and we lost the business...
**Player**: What did Hank say?
**Hank**: The price we paid for the Clear Water Sapphire at the Sea of Storm...
**Hank**: They were 20 thousand gold each...
**Lukka**: Player! See, who else would be stupid enough...
**Lukka**: To tell people your purchase price when you are trying to make a trade?
**Hank**: Originally everyone had agreed on 100 thousand each, but you suddenly raised the price by 5 times!
**Hank**: Other people's money don't grow on trees!
**Hank**: I can't watch this!
**Lukka**: If you can't, then close your only eye!
**Lukka**: You bastard! Do you hate money or something?
**Lukka**: I'm going to kill you once I separate from you!
**Player**: If this thing is so rare...
**Player**: Then why don't you just find another buyer?
**Lukka**: Not selling it isn't the problem...
**Lukka**: But that nobleman made a complaint to the Defense Force, accusing us of fraud...
**Lukka**: We were punished with a 500 thousand gold fine!
**Player**: What?
**Hank**: You should be happy that the Defense Force didn't cancel our business permit...
**Hank**: If we'd sold it, and they found out later...
**Hank**: We would have had to leave Never Isle forever!
**Lukka**: Stop quibbling!
**Lukka**: Player! Don't you think this stupid bear needs to learn a lesson?
**Hank**: Player! Do you think I'm wrong?
**Player**: I... think...

**-(I'll back Hank!) - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: Lukka... honesty is very important in doing business!
**Player**: If you always break your promise and raise your price, no one would buy from you anymore.
**Player**: The damage will be too great by then!
**Player**: Lukka... you're very smart, I'm sure you'll understand this...
**Hank**: See! Player agrees with me!
**Hank**: We've already earned the reputation of being dishonest in a few towns in Luxium!
**Hank**: We can't let this repeat on Never Isle again!
**Lukka**: Hey you both! I'm not selling fake products!
**Lukka**: We're the only ones selling Clear Water Sapphire on Never Isle!
**Lukka**: Any businessman would raise their price!
**Lukka**: As merchants, if we don't use some underhanded tactics, we'll be starved to death sooner or later!
**Player**: But... 5 times... is too...
**Lukka**: Fine... okay... I admit I was too greedy to ask for 500 thousand...
**Lukka**: But, it's also true that this bear just wouldn't keep his mouth shut!
**Player**: Okay, okay.
**Hank**: If you are dishonest next time, I'll still say it out loud!
**Lukka**: You...
**Lukka**: Sigh... fine! If even Player says so, I can't be bothered lecturing you anymore!
**Lukka**: You are such a stupid bear!
**Hank**: You are such a greedy fraud!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (How much longer will this fight last...)

**-(I'll back Lukka) - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: Hank, as a trader, exposing your purchase price and source of supply is like suicide.
**Player**: Plus, this gem is so valuable that it's always been a seller's market.
**Player**: It's absolutely normal for the sellers to control the price...
**Hank**: We were already selling it at 5 times of our purchase price, isn't that enough?
**Player**: Pricing involves more than just the purchase price...
**Player**: It also involves the cost of transportation.
**Hank**: The cost of transportation?
**Player**: The time you spend on the road, the procurement expenses on your trip, and the potential danger...
**Player**: Plus, the additional value due to the product's rarity...
**Player**: Nowadays, Luxium is a dangerous place. Lukka's price is a little bit high, but it's still within reason.
**Hank**: But, we'd already agreed on a price with our buyer, how could you change it at the last minute?
**Lukka**: Hank, we are businessmen! Of course we'll do anything to make money!
**Lukka**: If there is a chance for us to raise the price, we should seize the opportunity!
**Lukka**: Otherwise, we'll be starved to death sooner or later...
**Hank**: I'm starting to get it...
**Hank**: But, 5 times is too much, I can't agree on that!
**Hank**: How about this, if you break your promise and raise the price, I'll not say anything as long as it is within 2 times!
**Hank**: But, I'm gonna stop you if it's more than double!
**Hank**: I don't know much about being a merchant, but I do have my principles as a mercenary!
**Lukka**: Hank... you!
**Player**: Lukka, just say yes to Hank. Hank needs some time to accept this...
**Lukka**: Sigh... what else can I do if this big guy decides to throw a tantrum?
**Lukka**: You are such a stupid bear!
**Hank**: You are such a greedy fraud!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (How much longer will this fight last...)

**-(Persuade them to agree to disagree...) - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: Well, you both have your reasons...
**Player**: Lukka, it's not decent to raise the price after you've agreed on it.
**Player**: Also, Hank, it's not appropriate to tell people your purchase price and source of supply...
**Player**: How about you both compromise a little?
**Player**: Lukka, you shouldn't raise your price too much. It should be no more than 3 times...
**Player**: Hank, as long as Lukka doesn't raise the price too much, you should leave him alone...
**Lukka**: No way!
**Hank**: No way! (at the same time)
**Player**: Eh...
**Hank**: I have my own principles! When doing business, we should be prudent with pricing! We can't change it whenever we want!
**Lukka**: I'm the boss when it comes to making money!
**Lukka**: This stupid bear is in no position to make comments!
**Hank**: Humph! A dishonest businessman does not deserve to give orders!
**Player**: Okay...
**Lukka**: You are such a stupid bear!
**Hank**: You are such a greedy fraud!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (How much longer will this fight last...)

**Troublesome**

**-Intro**

**Hank**: Bro! Do you have time today?
**Hank**: You've been taking good care of us these days. Lukka and I want to invite you out.
**Player**: You? Both? Me?
**Lukka**: Correct!
**Lukka**: What? Would you rather disrespect me?
**Player**: Of course! Where are you guys? I'll come and meet you!
*Scene transition*
**Hank**: Player!
**Lukka**: Hey!
**Player**: What made you think of me all of a sudden?
**Lukka**: These days when we are on Never Isle, you've been taking good care of us, haven't you?
**Player**: Ehhh, that doesn't sound like Lukka...
**Hank**: Hehe, bro, we just want to hang out with you today.
**Player**: Okay, if Hank says so, I'll believe you!
**Player**: Let's go then! Where are we going?
**Lukka**: It's your call!
**Player**: What? Me?
**Player**: What is going on...
**Hank**: Me and Lukka have always had an agreement. Every time we make money, we'll take a day off to relax.
**Lukka**: But what I want to do on my day off is completely different from Hank's...
**Lukka**: You know, we can't stay too far away from each other.
**Lukka**: So we usually take turns to decide. I'll decide this time, and Hank would decide next time.
**Player**: So, whose turn is it today?
**Hank**: That's the problem...
**Hank**: Both of us think it's our say today...
**Hank**: But neither of us has any proof.
**Player**: So, who had the say last time?
**Lukka**: It's been too long since we made our last deal...
**Lukka**: So...Player, we'll entrust this task to you!
**Hank**: Yup! You are the only person that Lukka and I both trust!
**Player**: Okay, what do you want to do today?
**Hank**: On my day off, I always go to the bistro and get drunk!
**Hank**: And then, I'll go have a fight with my bro Miles!
**Hank**: Then, we'll go hunting in the forest and roast whatever we hunt for dinner.
**Lukka**: That's just like Hank!
**Lukka**: Rough, wild and primitive...
**Lukka**: I'm sure Player is not a savage like him.
**Hank**: Then what do you want to do?
**Lukka**: On my day off, of course I'll go to the nicest restaurant for lunch first...
**Lukka**: In the afternoon, I'll get a massage from the most fancy clubhouse on Never Isle to pamper my tense body...
**Lukka**: Lastly, while the sunlight is perfect, I'll go to Eversun for sunbathing.
**Lukka**: C'est la vie!
**Hank**: ...
**Lukka**: I'm sure, Player won't disappoint me...
**Lukka**: Right?
*Lukka touches his pocket, and you can hear the sound of gold coins...*
**Player**: ...

**-(Agree to Lukka's day off plan) - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: Let's go with Lukka's plan then!
**Hank**: What?
**Lukka**: I knew you would prefer a life of luxury!
**Lukka**: Hank, don't try to cheat.
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: If Player says so... then I've no comments...
**Hank**: Sigh...
**Player**: (Hank looks very upset...)
**Player**: Sorry, Hank, you guys made me choose, I can't...
**Hank**: Bro, I understand...
**Hank**: The beer at that bistro is really nice. I was gonna to invite you to try...
**Hank**: Guess we'll have to wait till next time...

**-(Agree to Hank's day off plan) - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: Let's go with Hank's plan then!
**Hank**: Player, bro, let's go! I'll buy you drinks!
**Hank**: That bistro has really good beer!
**Lukka**: Wait? Did I hear that right?
**Lukka**: Player picked you?
**Hank**: Hehe, you heard the man!
**Player**: Since you're taking turns to decide your day off plan, next time you can do what Lukka wants!
**Lukka**: I even made a reservation for massage at the clubhouse...
**Lukka**: Damn it, I can't go now...
**Lukka**: Sigh...

**-(Propose a plan that meets their requests halfway) - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: What about this plan?
**Player**: At noon time, we'll go to Hank's bistro for drinks and lunch!
**Lukka**: What?
**Player**: Wait, let me finish!
**Player**: And then, we'll go for a massage at Lukka's clubhouse.
**Player**: Lastly, we will go to Eversun to have a barbeque on the beach!
**Hank**: Player, did you...
**Lukka**: Try to take both of our requests into consideration?
**Lukka**: Yeah.
**Hank**: Yeah... getting some beer is better than getting none!
**Hank**: I have no comment!
**Lukka**: Fine, at least I can get a massage to relax.
**Lukka**: I'll say yes too!
**Player**: Great! Let's go!
**Lukka**: Gees... I can't imagine a nasty little bistro like that would have very nice food...
**Hank**: I don't understand Lukka... why pay for someone to touch your body...
*In the afternoon...*
*The massage is finished*
**Hank**: It's so comfortable!
**Hank**: My entire body feels so relaxed!
**Hank**: Next time I want to have a massage again!
**Lukka**: Hey! Who said he couldn't understand paying for someone to touch his body...
**Hank**: Hehe, I've never tried this before. I didn't' know it's so comfy!
**Lukka**: I picked that clubhouse!
**Lukka**: Of course it's good!
**Player**: Let's take the airship to Eversun! The sun is perfect now!
**Lukka**: Before going to Eversun, let's get 2 cases of the Black Ale we drank at the bistro!
**Hank**: Lukka?
**Lukka**: What? It's essential to keep hydrated while sunbathing!
**Hank**: Hahaha, okay, let's go!

**Inseparable**

**-Intro**

*Hottie Bar, Airship...*
**Lukka**: Player, do you want to join us in the bath?
**Player**: Sure.
*Scene transition*
*After the bath...*
**Hank**: Pheww, it's so comfy, Player. I didn't know you have a fur dryer here!
**Hank**: It always takes me forever to dry my fur after bathing!
**Player**: Many beast Gyees come here to have drinks and take baths, so I bought one.
**Lukka**: Enjoying Light of the Light while taking a hot bath...
**Lukka**: High up in the sky of Luxium, overlooking the people of Wonderland...
**Lukka**: This is the life I wanted...
**Hank**: Why don't you stay with Player?
**Hank**: And I'll go back to being a mercenary.
**Hank**: For me, as long as I can eat , fight and have my brothers by my side everyday, it's enough!
**Lukka**: You don't think I want to? But I'm stuck with this guy...
**Lukka**: Wherever I go, I have to bring you along!
**Hank**: Sigh... same for me. Wherever I go, I have to carry you!
**Player**: So, Lukka was a gangster boss, and Hank was a mercenary...
**Player**: How did you two meet each other?
**Player**: Lukka, did you hire Hank?
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: When I met Hank, I was no longer a gangster boss.
**Hank**: ...
**Lukka**: We met each other in a tabooed arcana array...
**Player**: Tabooed arcana?
**Hank**: Yes, back then I was Lukka's life source.
**Hank**: Lukka intended to use my life to extend his own.
**Player**: What? Lukka wanted to kill Hank?
**Lukka**: Quite the opposite, I saved Hank.
**Player**: Huh?
**Lukka**: 6 years ago, I found this tabooed arcana syndicate called the Nirvans. I paid them to extend my life with tabooed arcana...
**Lukka**: Back then, they found a seriously wounded bearman Gyee.
**Lukka**: The bearman was dying, so they used him as my life source.
**Player**: That Gyee is Hank?
**Lukka**: When the rite began, my life was conjoined with Hank's...
**Lukka**: I stopped the rite myself halfway through...
**Lukka**: The conjoined life energy helped Hank survive his fatal wounds, and he woke up.
**Lukka**: Since then, we've been attached to each other.
**Player**: Hold on! This is a lot of information!
**Player**: Who are the Nirvans? And how did Hank get hurt?
**Player**: What happened, Lukka? Why did you terminate the tabooed arcana?
**Hank**: Right, Lukka, why did you terminate the tabooed arcana?
**Hank**: If you had finished the arcana, you would have extended your life. Then you can do whatever you want!
**Hank**: And I can reunite with my bros in the afterlife!
**Lukka**: Hank, you...
**Lukka**: Are you blaming this on me?
**Lukka**: I saved your life! How dare you be so ungrateful and try to blame it on me?
**Hank**: Why didn't you just let me die?
**Hank**: Who asked you to be so nosey and save me?
**Lukka**: I wondered why myself!
**Lukka**: Give me another chance, and I would never keep you alive!
**Lukka**: I would never save you, ungrateful bastard!
**Hank**: I don't need you to save me either!
**Player**: Hey? You two...

**-Choice A - (Go find Lukka...)**

**Lukka**: ...
**Player**: Lukka...
**Lukka**: If I had known Hank was like that, I would gladly have absorbed him 6 years ago!
**Lukka**: Seeing him makes me so mad!
**Lukka**: All he's got is muscles, even his brain is nothing but muscles.
**Lukka**: He is never cautious with other people! He'll believe whatever people tell him!
**Lukka**: During these 6 years, he's lost me countless business deals already!
**Lukka**: All he knows is eating and sleeping. And he snores like a pig.
**Lukka**: It's always the same stupid smile whenever he talks to anyone. Once he starts drinking and talking about his mercenary gang, he just wouldn't stop!
**Lukka**: He's simply useless!
**Lukka**: If my life had not been attached to his, I would have killed him long time ago!
**Player**: ...
**Lukka**: What are you laughing at?
**Player**: Sounds like you still care about Hank.
**Player**: Very much.
**Lukka**: How's that possible?
**Player**: If Hank is really so useless to you, then you wouldn't bother complaining to me!
**Player**: Would you care to complain about strangers?
**Lukka**: !!
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: Sigh... you're right... he's not totally useless...
**Lukka**: His fur is quite comfy...
**Lukka**: The fur on his chest is the best, and the fur on his stomach is also nice.
**Lukka**: After we separate, I'm going to make a coat out of Hank's fur!
**Lukka**: He's such a big guy that it would be enough for years.
**Player**: Haha, happy now?
**Lukka**: In that sense... maybe it's not totally meaningless to save him...
**Player**: So, why did you terminate the rite?
**Player**: If you don't want to talk about it...
**Lukka**: I've been asking myself this question for the past 6 years...
**Lukka**: I saw Hank's memories of himself and his brothers.
**Lukka**: I suddenly feel my heart aching. I thought this idiot didn't deserve to die like that...
**Lukka**: So I terminated the rite.
**Player**: I think you did the right thing to save Hank!
**Player**: It's nice to have such a big guy protecting you and arguing with you.
**Player**: Most importantly, you have made a new friend, haven't you?
**Lukka**: Friend...
**Lukka**: He... he's not my friend...
**Player**: It's okay, just admit it!
*Choice A.1 - Apologize to Hank... - 500 Intimacy*
**Player**: You should apologize to Hank. You guys still have business to do!
**Lukka**: Me? Apologize to him?
**Lukka**: You wish!
**Player**: Lukka, you are the boss. Act like one!
**Lukka**: Alas...
**Lukka**: Humph, I never thought I would have to apologize to him!
**Lukka**: Sigh... fine, you're right! We still have business to do.
**Lukka**: I'll put up with it this time...
**Hank**: Lukka, you're here. I've been looking for you!
**Lukka**: ...
**Hank**: What's up?
**Lukka**: Hank, just now...
**Lukka**: I apologize to you for what happened...
**Hank**: What?
**Hank**: What happened just now?
**Player**: Huh?
**Player**: You guys were having such a big fight...
**Hank**: Haha, it's normal for me and Lukka to have a fight...
**Hank**: Every time we have a fight, I'll forget about it very soon...
**Hank**: If I have to remember all of them, it'll hurt my brain!
**Hank**: Lukka, we should leave if you are done here at Player's...
**Player**: ...
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: This guy pretends to have forgotten everything, which makes me look petty!
**Lukka**: Hank is such a bastard!
*Scene ends*
*Choice A.2 - Wait for Hank to apologize to you... - 900 Intimacy*
**Player**: Lukka, wait here. Hank will come and find you.
**Player**: He may seem unconcerned, but I'm sure he's realized that he was being unreasonable.
**Lukka**: Even if he comes to me, I'm not going to forgive him!
**Player**: Lukka, if Hank gives in, you should...
**Hank**: Lukka...
**Hank**: Just now... I...
**Hank**: I shouldn't have said that you were nosey 6 years ago...
**Lukka**: And?
**Hank**: I also... shouldn't have thrown a tantrum...
**Lukka**: And?
**Hank**: And...
**Hank**: And what?
**Lukka**: Anyway... you're forgiven...
**Lukka**: Let's go.
**Hank**: Player, sorry, we made a big fuss....
**Hank**: We should go now.
*Scene ends*

**-Choice B - (Go find Hank...)**

**Hank**: Lukka!
**Hank**: He is always so self-obsessed and stuck up!
**Hank**: Always bossing me around like I'm his servant, but he knows nothing himself!
**Hank**: He doesn't know how to cook, how to get water or even how to make a fire!
**Hank**: Every time we make some money, he'll spend it all on useless luxury stuff...
**Hank**: But if I want to buy some wine, or get a new dagger, he would get unhappy!
**Player**: But, Hank, you're the one that threw a tantrum today!
**Hank**: Me? What tantrum did I throw?
**Player**: ...
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Sigh... the more I talk, the easier I'd lose my temper...
**Player**: Is it because we talked about what happened 6 years ago?
**Hank**: Alas...
**Player**: So, what happened 6 years ago?
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Sorry, Player, I really don't want to talk about this right now...
**Player**: Then don't...
**Player**: But, obviously, what happened 6 years ago affects you deeply.
**Player**: I hope you can recover from that sooner.
**Player**: Don't burden yourself with the past that you can't change...
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Player...
**Hank**: If I really let go of my past...
**Hank**: I would have nothing left.
**Player**: I don't know about the other things...
**Player**: But at least... you have Lukka and me.
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: I feel so much better hearing that.
**Hank**: Actually, I was being emotional. I should apologize to Lukka!
*Choice B.1 - Go! Make peace. You guys still have business to do! - 900 Intimacy*
**Hank**: Got it!
*Lukka pretends he didn't see Hank...*
**Hank**: Lukka...
**Lukka**: ...
**Hank**: I'm... sorry...
**Hank**: I shouldn't have lost my temper...
**Hank**: I shouldn't have said you were being nosey while trying to save me...
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: Fine, Hank...
**Lukka**: I can forgive you!
**Lukka**: But I have one condition. We will only eat at fancy restaurants this week!
**Lukka**: We're not going to those nasty bistros!
**Hank**: What? A whole week!
**Hank**: Fine... fine...
**Lukka**: Then... let's go!
**Lukka**: Hank, pick me up.
**Hank**: Don't push it! Get up yourself!
**Player**: Ha! Ha! Ha!
*Scene ends*
*Choice B.2 - Don't apologize to Lukka first... - 500 Intimacy*
**Hank**: Why?
**Player**: It was indeed your fault this time, Hank...
**Player**: But you can take this opportunity to tame Lukka...
**Player**: So that he knows you also have a temper, and you're not one to be bullied!
**Hank**: Would it really work?
**Player**: How'd you know if you don't try?
**Hank**: Okay! Player, I'll listen to you!
*A few days later...*
**Player**: Hank, how's it going?
**Hank**: Lukka and I haven't talked for days...
**Hank**: We see each other all the time, I couldn't stand it...
**Hank**: So I apologized to Lukka...
**Hank**: Sigh...
*Scene ends*

### Trifle

**Back to the Past**

For some people, the past is a prosperous view in ruins and a peaceful place in this noisy world. It is as magnificent as the stars, and unreachable likewise. Is the past a truth that actually happened or a dream that is happening?

**-Part 1**

*Scene - Never Isle*
**Lukka**: There's no way I am going to look for the Nirvans with you!
**Hank**: Finding the Nirvans is the only way to get us separated!
**Hank**: You don't want us to be stuck together for the rest of our lives, do you?
**Lukka**: Of course I don't want to be stuck with you, stupid bear!
**Lukka**: But this is not the same!
*Player runs up to Lukka and Hank*
**Player**: What's wrong? I could hear you two fighting from miles away.
**Hank**: Player, brother, you are finally here.
**Hank**: With the help from Miles' Oathblades intelligence network, I found a stronghold of the Nirvans...
**Player**: Good for you.
**Hank**: Should be good!
**Hank**: But Lukka, he wouldn't let me go find the Nirvans no matter what I say!
**Lukka**: That is not the same thing!
**Lukka**: I've dealt with the Nirvans before!
**Lukka**: We are no match for them at all!
**Hank**: Leave the fighting to me! You just need to hide behind me as usual!
**Hank**: It's been so many years, don't you know how strong I am?
**Lukka**: The Nirvans... they are not like the minions you usually fight!
**Lukka**: Plus, if you die, I'll die with you!
**Hank**: If we don't try, how do you know we are going to die?
**Lukka**: How many lives do I have? How can I afford to let you try?
**Player**: Hey hey, you two, please stop.

**-Choice 1.1 - Are the Nirvans really that strong?**

**Hank**: Aren't they just a bunch of mages? I can knock down 5 in one go!
**Lukka**: If they're just regular mages, there'd be nothing to fear...
**Lukka**: I've dealt with them a couple of times before.
**Lukka**: The Nirvan leader is an old guy in a wheelchair...
**Hank**: An old guy? In a wheelchair? Then why should we be afraid?
**Lukka**: You don't understand...
**Lukka**: He could kill you just by looking at you!
**Player**: Really?
**Hank**: So, let's sneak behind him and don't let him see us...
**Hank**: And then kill him with one strike!
*Lukka shakes his head...*
**Lukka**: There's a ghost following him...
**Lukka**: A huge ghost, probably even bigger than Hank!
**Hank**: Bigger than me?
**Lukka**: A ghost stronger than you!
**Lukka**: At a distance, we'd be killed by the old guy's arcana...
**Lukka**: Within short range, we'll be smashed to death by the ghost...
**Lukka**: And that's not even the worst. They probably won't kill us right away...
**Lukka**: They would keep us alive and use us as ingredients for their arcana...
**Lukka**: I... I would rather die!
**Player**: Don't! Calm down!
**Player**: Yeah... that's why I said there's someone very powerful with the Nirvans...
*Choice 1.1.1 - Are the Nirvans really that strong?*
*Go to Choice 1.1*
*Choice 1.1.2 - Is finding the Nirvans the only way for you to get separated?*
*Go to Choice 1.2*
*Choice 1.1.3 - What about getting more people to destroy them?*
*Go to Choice 1.3*
*Choice 1.1.4 - (This argument is never going to end...)*
*Continue with conversation*

**-Choice 1.2 - Is finding the Nirvans the only way for you to get separated?**

**Lukka**: Of course not. Luxium is so big, there must be other ways!
**Hank**: Lukka!
**Hank**: We've been traveling for years in Luxium and have been to nearly every corner of this land...
**Hank**: But we still couldn't find a way to get separated!
**Hank**: The Nirvans are our only chance!!
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: How... how could it be possible that we've been everywhere?
**Lukka**: There's still... Cloudend Isles in the east!
**Lukka**: We haven't been to Cloudend Isles yet!
**Hank**: Cloudend Isles? That's just a legend!
**Hank**: Lukka, you should stop thinking about useless ideas!
**Hank**: The Arcana Academy told us that as long as we can find information about the tabooed arcana for life extension...
**Hank**: We can be separated!
**Lukka**: I don't want to die before we get separated!
*Choice 1.2.1 - Are the Nirvans really that strong?*
*Go to Choice 1.1*
*Choice 1.2.2 - Is finding the Nirvans the only way for you to get separated?*
*Go to Choice 1.2*
*Choice 1.2.3 - What about getting more people to destroy them?*
*Go to Choice 1.3*
*Choice 1.2.4 - (This argument is never going to end...)*
*Continue with conversation*

**-Choice 1.3 - What about getting more people to help take them out?**

**Player**: Maybe the Oathblades can help?
**Lukka**: The Nirvans are neither White Capes nor Shadows. Of course the Oathblades are not going to send their troops...
**Lukka**: But Miles was going to help us...
**Lukka**: And Hank rejected him!
**Hank**: Miles has already helped us a lot in finding those Nirvans.
**Hank**: This is our battle!
**Hank**: I can't put Miles in danger!
**Lukka**: You idiot...
**Lukka**: So you want to put me in danger!
**Hank**: You don't need to fight, I'm going to protect you!
**Lukka**: !!
**Lukka**: Stupid bear!
**Lukka**: If you die, I will die too!
*Choice 1.3.1 - Are the Nirvans really that strong?*
*Go to Choice 1.1*
*Choice 1.3.2 - Is finding the Nirvans the only way for you to get separated?*
*Go to Choice 1.2*
*Choice 1.3.3 - What about getting more people to destroy them?*
*Go to Choice 1.3*
*Choice 1.3.4 - (This argument is never going to end...)*
*Continue with conversation*

*Conversation continues after choices*
**Player**: (I have to think of a solution that both would agree on... )
*Choices start*

**-Choice 2.1 - Do you have to get separated?**

**Player**: The way you are now isn't so bad...
**Lukka**: Damn!
**Hank**: No! (at the same time)
**Hank**: I don't want to be attached to this con-man!
**Lukka**: I don't want to be attached to this stupid bear!
**Player**: Calm down... I was just saying...
*Go back to Choices start*

**-Choice 2.2 - What about putting on a disguise and infiltrating the stronghold?**

**Lukka**: Urgh... Player, are you serious?
**Lukka**: You want this big bear to put on a disguise?
**Player**: Haha, it's not very practical...
*Go back to Choices start*

**-Choice 2.3 - Pretend to be a client of the Nirvans?**

**Lukka**: Pretend?
**Lukka**: Forget it.
**Lukka**: Remember the first time we met in the marsh, we couldn't even fool you and Miles...
**Lukka**: Not to mention the Nirvans...
**Player**: Why do I feel like I'm being humiliated?
*Go back to Choies Start*

**-Choice 2.4 - As long as you two work together as a team, there's still a chance!**

**Hank**: Us?
**Lukka**: Work together?
**Hank**: How's that possible?
**Lukka**: Are you kidding me? (at the same time)
**Player**: See, great teamwork.
**Player**: Hank is capable of taking on a hundred guys on his own.
**Player**: And with Lukka's intellect, you guys are invincible!
**Lukka**: !!
**Hank**: ...

*Conversation continues after choices*
*Hank and Lukka turn towards each other*
**Hank**: ...
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: It is... possible...
**Lukka**: But Hank never listens to me when it comes to fighting...
**Hank**: I'll listen to you!
**Lukka**: !!
**Hank**: This time, I'll totally listen to you!
**Hank**: After all, Lukka's brain is better than mine.
**Lukka**: You don't have one.
**Hank**: Hehe, hehehe...
**Lukka**: Fine, I'll put up with you...
**Lukka**: Wait!
**Lukka**: What if we run into that Nirvan old guy?
**Lukka**: I can't figure out a way to deal with him...
**Hank**: ...
**Player**: If you see him, then run away!
**Hank**: What? No!
**Player**: Hank, if that old guy really is that strong, then there's no point risking your life.
**Player**: There are still things that need to be done while you're alive, right?
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Okay, we'll run if we see the old guy in the wheelchair!
**Player**: Any more problems?
**Lukka**: Yes!
**Lukka**: First of all, I need 7 days to get prepared!
**Hank**: 7 days?!
**Hank**: No way! That's too long. They'll be gone by then!
**Lukka**: Okay, then 4 days. I need to make some preparations...
**Lukka**: Secondly...
**Lukka**: I hope Player can join us.
**Hank**: Why are you dragging Player into this?
**Lukka**: Player is very strong. He can take care of himself.
**Lukka**: Plus, when you are being reckless, only his words can get through to you!
**Hank**: ...
**Lukka**: Player, I know the Nirvans are dangerous, and this might be a lot to ask...
**Lukka**: But if you agree, I will reward you fairly!
**Player**: The Nirvans...

**-Choice 3.1 - Cool, count me in!**

**Player**: We are friends, aren't we?
**Lukka**: !!
**Hank**: Hehe, thank you, bro!
**Hank**: Don't worry, I can handle the dangerous stuff!
**Hank**: Just stand behind me!
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice 3.2 - Let's go and take them out!**

**Player**: We are friends, aren't we?
**Lukka**: !!
**Hank**: Hehe, thank you, bro!
**Hank**: Don't worry, I can handle the dangerous stuff!
**Hank**: Just stand behind me!
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice 3.3 - Even if you don't ask, I would go with you!**

**Player**: We are friends, aren't we?
**Lukka**: !!
**Hank**: Hehe, thank you, bro!
**Hank**: Don't worry, I can handle the dangerous stuff!
**Hank**: Just stand behind me!
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice 3.4 - (Reject Lukka...)**

**Player**: Ah, about that...
**Hank**: It's alright, bro! This is not your battle.
**Lukka**: It seems we're not actually that close after all...
**Lukka**: It's fine, I understand. I was expecting too much...
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (Lukka and Hank are my good friends.)
**Player**: (I'll be worried if there're only two of them...)
**Player**: Who said I'm not going? Of course I'm going!
**Player**: I'll be worried if there're only two of you!
*Go to Part 2*

**-Part 2**

*Scene - A forest*
**Hank**: That's the entrance...
**Player**: It's very quiet. Doesn't look like an ambush.
*You notice Lukka and Hank are carrying very full bags.*
**Player**: Lukka, Hank, I feel like your bags are bigger than usual. What's in them?
**Hank**: They're Lukka's bombs. He thinks they might be useful at critical moments.
**Lukka**: They're my tailor-made bombs! They're very useful for attacks or for running away!
**Player**: Are they the bombs you used to threaten me before?
**Lukka**: These are the upgraded version! Smaller but even more firepower!
**Lukka**: I have also prepared some sticky bombs. Once they are stuck onto someone, they'll be hard to remove!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Why do I start to feel sorry for the Nirvans?
*Farther away, a large bearman approaches the entrance to the base*
**Player**: Someone's coming!
**Player**: Are they the Nirvans?
**Lukka**: No, it should be a bearman Gyee.
**Hank**: Sniff sniff...
**Hank**: This smell!
**Hank**: How could this be?
*Hank starts to run up to the bearman*
**Lukka**: Hank! Stop!
**Lukka**: Don't act rashly before you find out who your opponent is!
*Hank falls back*
**Player**: Hank, do you know that person?
**Hank**: He... he is Robert!
**Player**: Robert?
**Player**: Wait, I thought the Bear Gang is already...
**Hank**: I know...
**Lukka**: Hold on, isn't Robert the smallest among your gang?
**Lukka**: But this dude, he's even bigger than you!
**Hank**: His scent, he is Robert! I'm sure of it!
**Lukka**: Alas...
**Lukka**: There is no one else here. Let's go check it out.
**Player**: Alright.
**Hank**: I'll go first. You guys stay behind me!
*Scene - Near the entrance to the base*
**Bearman Stranger**: ...
**Bearman Stranger**: Who's there?
**Bearman Stranger**: !!
*Hank walks up alone to the bearman*
**Robert**: Hank Bro!
**Hank**: Robert! It is really you!
**Robert**: Bro, I didn't know you are still alive!
*Behind Hank...*
**Player**: Looks like he did not mistake the person as someone else this time.
**Lukka**: Alas...
**Lukka**: Anyway, it is still suspicious!
**Lukka**: I have been attached to Hank by tabooed arcana for 6 years.
**Lukka**: For 6 years... we haven't heard anything from Robert at all...
**Lukka**: And now, he just suddenly shows up...
**Lukka**: I think the so-called coincidence is a bit farfetched.
**Player**: Let's hear what Robert has to say first.
**Lukka**: Yeah... fine!
*Lukka and Player walk up to Hank and Robert*
**Hank**: Robert, this is my new bro Player, and Lukka!
**Hank**: Player, Lukka, this is Robert, my bro from back in the Bear Gang!
**Lukka**: Oh, so you're Robert. Whenever Hank gets drunk, he talks about you a lot.
**Lukka**: He says you are the smallest in the gang. But it doesn't seem to be the truth.
**Robert**: Haha, I was quite skinny 6 years ago. But I've grown bigger in recent years.
**Lukka**: Haha... I see...
**Lukka**: Hank thought you got killed in battle. How come you've never come to see him all these years?
**Robert**: I only found out big bro is still alive when I saw him just now.
**Robert**: I'm sorry big bro. I should have known you're still alive...
**Hank**: It's fine, it's fine, as long as you are alive and well.
**Lukka**: Haha, right. But, Robert, I guess you're not travelling...
**Lukka**: In this forest?
**Hank**: Hehe, such a coincidence! There is bad blood between Robert and the Nirvans!
**Lukka**: !!
**Robert**: I'm so ashamed of that. I was defeated by the Nirvans and captured as their test subject.
**Robert**: By chance, I escaped...
**Robert**: Now, my only purpose is to take revenge on the Nirvans!
**Hank**: Hehe, bro, we also have some matters to settle with the Nirvans!
**Hank**: Let's show them the Bear Gang's strength!
**Robert**: Roar!
*Hank and Robert run towards the base together*
**Player**: What Robert said does add up...
**Lukka**: Yes... but still... we can't trust him!
*Choice 1.1 - Maybe we are overthinking it?*
**Lukka**: I hope we are just overthinking it.
**Lukka**: Otherwise, Hank...
*Choice 1.2 - There's something about this Robert.*
**Player**: We'd better be careful. He's a bit dodgy...
**Lukka**: Got it!
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Hank**: Lukka, we're almost at the maximum distance. Catch up!
**Lukka**: I'm coming!
*Scene - Inside the base*
**Player**: Be careful everyone. There's something wrong with the flux here.
**Robert**: It means we are not far from the Nirvans.
**Lukka**: Hank, when we see the Nirvans, don't make any rash moves. Listen to me!
**Hank**: Don't worry, I've promised you. You can count on me!
**Robert**: Bro Hank is still as fierce as before.
**Lukka**: Hank talks about Bear Gang all the time...
**Lukka**: I wonder if you'll just get in our way?
**Robert**: Although I'm not as strong as bro Hank.
**Robert**: But I won't let you guys down.
**Lukka**: It's comforting to know... we have an ex-Bear Gang member to help us...
*A few moments later...*
*Deep in the underground network...*
**Hank**: There's a fork in the road, what should we do?
**Lukka**: I don't hear anything strange...
**Lukka**: We can't afford to miss any important clue. I guess we'd have to split up...
**Robert**: Yes, we have to split up...
**Player**: Split up?
**Lukka**: I can only go with Hank.
**Player**: Then me and Robert...
**Lukka**: No! Player, come with us...
**Lukka**: Robert will take the other way. Are you okay with that, Robert?
**Robert**: No problem!
**Hank**: Bro, are you sure that's okay? Fighting is not your strong suit...
**Robert**: Don't worry, big bro. I'm not the same as before!
**Hank**: Good! I have faith in you!
**Lukka**: If you come across anything, don't act on your own. Come back and let us know!
**Robert**: Yes!
*The party splits up*
*Shortly after...*
*Lukka jumps down from Hank's shoulder...*
**Lukka**: My back hurts. I'll take a walk!
*A few moments later...*
**Hank**: Hey Lukka, why did you ask Robert to take the other side?
**Lukka**: It's safer to walk with the trusted ones.
**Lukka**: Even if someone turns on us, we wouldn't be all separated and defeated one by one. We can still fight back.
**Hank**: Are you suspecting Robert?
**Lukka**: Of course, even a stupid bear like you could feel something's off...
**Lukka**: You saw all your brothers get killed by the Shadows.
**Hank**: ...
**Lukka**: It's been 6 whole years. He's still alive, yet he's never thought about reaching you.
**Lukka**: He claims that he was used by the Nirvans as an test subject, but as far as I know, the Nirvans never let their subjects leave alive!
**Lukka**: There is too much doubt. How can I not be suspicious?
**Hank**: But...
**Player**: Lukka only brought up a possibility. It doesn't necessarily mean there is anything wrong with Robert.
**Lukka**: Sigh...
**Lukka**: Anyway, Hank, you should be careful. Don't get too close to him...
**Hank**: Robert is my bro... he is my bro!
**Hank**: I can't let you suspect him like that!
**Lukka**: Hey! You said you would listen to me!
**Hank**: I'll listen to you about fighting. But I'm not listening to you about my bro!
**Lukka**: Why you!
*Robert comes back*
**Robert**: Big bro, are you having a fight?
**Hank**: Bro! Is that Robert?
**Robert**: Of course, big bro!
*Hank grabs Robert around his waist...*
*And hugs Robert...*
**Robert**: What? big bro?
*He sticks his head into Robert's fur...*
**Lukka**: !!
**Robert**: What's wrong... big bro?
**Hank**: Sniff... sniff...
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Lukka! This is my bro, my good bro!
**Lukka**: I didn't say he isn't...
**Lukka**: Sigh...
**Lukka**: But, Robert, why are you back already?
**Robert**: I saw the Nirvans shortly after. I think that's the entrance of their stronghold.
**Robert**: And I think I've found their ventilation pipeline system...
**Hank**: How many of them?
**Robert**: A couple of swordsmen on guard and a couple of tabooed arcana mages.
**Player**: Did you see the old man in a wheelchair?
**Robert**: The old man in a wheelchair? No I didn't.
*Lukka breathes a sigh of relief...*
**Hank**: If there are only a couple of swordsmen, I can handle it!
**Lukka**: Come on... not again...
**Robert**: Big bro, it's not wise to go for a frontal assault.
**Robert**: The entrance is very narrow. They only need a few swordsmen to guard the entrance, and the mages from behind can bombard us endlessly!
**Robert**: We won't be able to do anything about it...
**Lukka**: Oh?
**Robert**: This kind of underground stronghold must have a backdoor.
**Robert**: If we can utilize the backdoor and the ventilation pipeline system, it would be a strategic advantage for us...
**Lukka**: Hank! Your bro is very different from you!
**Lukka**: Robert, when you have time, please show Hank how to not think with his muscles...
**Lukka**: Money is not an issue!
**Hank**: Hehe, when it comes to intelligence, Robert is not any worse than you Lukka!
**Hank**: Back then he was the brainpower of the Bear Gang. His strategy has helped us win a lot of battles!
**Robert**: ...
**Robert**: What's the point of strategy if it couldn't save the Bear Gang in the end.
**Robert**: In the face of absolute power, strategy means nothing...
**Hank**: Don't say that. It's not your fault...
**Hank**: Since we are still alive, the Bear Gang hasn't fallen yet!
**Robert**: ...
**Robert**: Big bro, thank you...
*Scene - Farther in the underground network*
*A few moments later...*
**Lukka**: I think this is their backdoor...
**Robert**: Yeah... the security here is even tighter than the entrance...
**Lukka**: Yeah.
**Hank**: Lukka, what should we do?
**Lukka**: Quiet!
**Lukka**: Yeah...
**Lukka**: I think I have an idea!
**Lukka**: Come here, let's make a plan of attack!
*Shortly after...*
**Lukka**: Everyone understand?
**Hank**: Hehe! Understood! Leave the fighting to me and Robert!
**Robert**: I can finally fight side by side with big bro!
**Hank**: Let me see what you've got after all these years!
**Lukka**: Be careful when you fight. We still need information from them!
**Hank**: Understood!
**Lukka**: Player, you are the key to the success of this plan!
*The party starts their operation*
*Near the entrance to the Nirvans stronghold...*
**Player**: (So this is the Nirvan's main entrance...)
**Player**: (Let me remember Lukka's plan...)
**Player**: (Find a way to sneak into the Nirvan's stronghold...)
**Player**: (Leave Lukka's special bombs at the entrance...)
**Player**: (After I escape, set off the bombs and block the main entrance...)
**Player**: (There are guards at the entrance... yeah...)
*Choice 2.1 - (Pretend to be a client of the Nirvans and sneak into the stronghold)*
**Player**: (Let me see if I can get away with those guards in the front... )
*Choice 2.2 - (Make some noise to distract the guards)*
**Player**: (Hm... no... )
**Player**: (The nearest intersection is too far away. If I lead them towards the entrance...)
**Player**: (They would charge straight at me... )
**Player**: (Guess I can only pretend to be a client of the Nirvans, see if I can sneak in.)
*Scene continues after choices*
*Player walks up to the Nirvan guards*
**Nirvan Mercenary A**: Who is it?
**Player**: I'm here for business. Let me in!
**Nirvan Mercenary A**: Do you even know where you are? For business?
**Player**: With the Nirvans, of course, I'm here for tabooed arcana business.
**Nirvan Mercenary B**: Yeah... indeed, today we do have a visitor...
**Player**: Then let me in.
**Nirvan Mercenary B**: No! God knows if you are just an impostor?
**Nirvan Mercenary B**: You said you are our client. What kind of tabooed arcana are you planning to use?
**Player**: !!
**Player**: (How the hell would I know... )
**Player**: (What is the name of tabooed arcana cast on Lukka and Hank again... )
**Player**: Of course it's...
**Player**: Tabooed arcana for life extension!
**Nirvan Mercenary B**: ...
**Player**: (I knew it can't be right... )
**Nirvan Mercenary B**: Come on in. Wait inside for a moment, we'll inform the Nirvan in charge...
**Player**: !!
*Player walks inside*
**Lukka**: (Whisper) Hey! Player!
*Look up and see Lukka in the ventilation pipeline system...*
**Lukka**: (Whisper) You finally made it. Now, time for the next step!
**Player**: Got it!
*While no one's watching, you scatter Lukka's napalm bombs near the entrance...*
*The napalm bombs are tiny, like little stones, which make them hard to be noticed...*
**Player**: Hehe, time to leave!
**???**: Guards! Take him!
**Player**: !!
*The guards take up their swords and a mage walks up to Player*
**Nirvan Messenger**: Do some homework if you are going to be an impostor!
**Nirvan Messenger**: Our client is supposed to be a beast Gyee!
**Lukka**: !!
**Player**: !!
**Nirvan Messenger**: Get him! He'll make an excellent test subject!
*Player runs away, bomb blasts can be heard behind*
**Nirvan Mercenary A**: Fire!
**Nirvan Mercenary B**: The intruder has gotten away! Go after him!
*More bombs go off*
**Lukka**: Haha! Do you like it?
**Lukka**: It's not over yet!
**Nirvan Messenger**: Intruders!
**Nirvan soldier**: Master Messenger, please leave through the escape route!
**Nirvan soldier**: We'll cover you!
*Meanwhile...*
*Sounds of explosion in the distance...*
**Hank**: Hehe! Lukka and Player have succeeded!
**Hank**: Now, we'll just need to wait for them to fall into our laps!
*The escaping Nirvans, including their primary mage, run into Hank and Robert*
**Nirvan Messenger**: !!
**Nirvan Messenger**: It's you!
**Robert**: Let's show them the power of the Bear Gang!
**Hank**: Roar!
**Robert**: Take my spear!
**Hank**: Hahhh!
*A few moments later...*
*Hank and Robert managed to defeat all of the escaping Nirvans, leaving no one alive for questioning*
**Hank**: Yo! Player! Well done!
**Robert**: It was such a wonderful battle!
**Lukka**: Hank! Hank!
*Lukka catches up to the group*
**Lukka**: Hank...
**Lukka**: !!
**Lukka**: How did that happen?
**Hank**: What do you mean by 'what's wrong'? We won!
**Hank**: Lukka, your plan is watertight!
*Lukka stares angrily at Robert*
**Lukka**: You...
**Lukka**: Hank, did you manage to find out anything?
**Hank**: No...
**Hank**: Half of the mages started to attack us once they saw us. We had no choice but...
**Hank**: The others are all new Nirvans. They don't seem to know much...
**Lukka**: Guess we'll have to find out from within their stronghold...
**Hank**: Yes!
**Hank**: I'll be in the front with Robert in case there are some enemy left!
**Robert**: Got it, big bro!
*Hank and Robert begin to walk inside*
**Lukka**: Player, I'm sure you've noticed what the Nirvan said.
**Player**: Yup, the client they are expecting today is a beast Gyee.
**Lukka**: That Robert... that can't be a coincidence!
**Player**: Yeah.
**Player**: But if Robert is one of the Nirvans, just now it would be the perfect chance for him to make a move...
**Player**: But he actually fought together with Hank to kill the Nirvans...
**Lukka**: Right, that's something I don't understand.
**Player**: Maybe it really is just a coincidence that Robert happens to be here...
**Lukka**: Yeah.
*A few moments later...*
**Player**: There's nothing here at all...
**Player**: Only a bunch of machines I know nothing about...
**Player**: Lukka...
*Lukka scatters some small objects around here...*
**Lukka**: Yes...
**Hank**: ...
**Robert**: Big bro, I know a place that could help you two!
*Scene - A large chamber*
**Hank**: There is a secret chamber here! Bro, you're good!
**Player**: I didn't expect it to be so big in here...
**Lukka**: ...
**???**: You people, let me out!
**???**: Howl! I'm going to tear you up!
**Lukka**: Be careful! Someone's here!
**Robert**: Don't worry, it is safe...
**Robert**: Follow me!
**Lukka**: ...
*The party runs into a Shadow Bearman trapped in an arcana prison*
**Shadow Bearman**: Howl! The Shadows are going to swallow you!
**Lukka**: A Shadow bearman?
**Robert**: I've said before that I'm going to take revenge on the Nirvans!
**Robert**: And this is the way...
**Hank**: What are you going to do?
**Robert**: Big bro Hank, please trust me...
*It looks like Robert is arranging some sort of arcana array...*
**Lukka**: What are you doing?
**Hank**: Lukka!
**Lukka**: !
**Hank**: I... trust him...
**Lukka**: ...
**Player**: ...
*A few moments later...*
*A glowing red circle appears below the Shadow Bearman with another circle a short distance away*
**Robert**: It's good now...
**Hank**: This array is...
**Lukka**: Tabooed arcana for life extension!
**Hank**: Robert, how come you can use this Nirvan tabooed arcana?
**Robert**: This is not the tabooed arcana for life extension used by those Nirvan dregs...
**Robert**: It's my modified tabooed arcana for strength transfer!
**Player**: Modified by you?
**Robert**: 6 years ago, a tabooed arcana for life extension was forced to terminate.
**Robert**: The source of life survived the ordeal.
**Player**: 6 years ago?
**Robert**: That inspired me to develop this tabooed arcana for strength transfer!
**Robert**: My tabooed arcana will not extend the receiver's life, but it can increase his strength...
**Lukka**: You joined the Nirvans!
**Robert**: Indeed, I was one of them, but when they forced me to hand out the knowledge of this tabooed arcana for strength transfer, I quit!
**Robert**: I pretended to be a Nirvan's client and made an appointment for today's tabooed arcana for strength transfer...
**Robert**: I didn't expect to see big bro here today.
**Robert**: Now! As long as I absorb this Shadow, I'll become much stronger!
**Hank**: Absorb?
**Hank**: Do you know what you are talking about?
**Robert**: Big bro, don't you understand?
**Robert**: 6 years ago, our mercenary gang was completely destroyed by the Shadows...
**Robert**: Simply because we were not strong enough!
**Hank**: No, that was because there was a traitor in our gang!
**Robert**: (Robert shakes his head...)
**Robert**: No, big bro...
**Robert**: After I crawled out from the stacks of bodies, I found everyone's body except yours...
**Robert**: There was no traitor.
**Hank**: What... ?
**Hank**: Impossible!
**Robert**: Our camp that day happened to be near a Nexus. That's why we bumped into the Shadow army that was going to attack the Nexus...
**Robert**: Our Bear Gang tried very hard to fight back, which made the Shadows believe we were the main force defending the Nexus. So they moved some of their army to intercept us...
**Robert**: So, big bro...
**Robert**: What happened 6 years ago was a tragedy!
**Robert**: Although you and the other big bros from the mercenary were all experienced fighters, each able to fight 100 opponents on your own...
**Robert**: But still, we were hopeless in the face of the Shadows!
**Robert**: I will never let that happen again!
**Robert**: I must become stronger!
**Hank**: You should get stronger by training hard instead of taking short cuts!
**Robert**: There is a limit to training, and I've exceeded that limit!
**Robert**: Look at me now and think about the person I used to be. The gap can only be narrowed by tabooed arcana!
**Robert**: Plus, my source is a Shadow! He's just a goddamned Shadow!
**Hank**: You...
**Hank**: Robert, I am the source that survived 6 years ago.
**Robert**: !!
**Hank**: Not anyone! No one!
**Hank**: No one deserves to be a sacrifice to this witchcraft!
**Robert**: Would you still think so when the sacrifice is a Shadow?
**Hank**: Of course!
**Hank**: Let go of that Shadow! Let me end his life!
**Robert**: I'm sorry big bro, that's the only thing I disagree with you!
**Robert**: If big bro is the life source from 6 years ago, then this Cannye with you must be the receiver.
**Robert**: Big bro, I'm sure you hate his guts!
**Robert**: I've mastered this tabooed arcana, big bro, I can totally absorb your Cannye!
**Lukka**: !!
**Robert**: Although there's not much strength within the Cannye, but once I absorb him, you'll be freed!
**Robert**: The two of us together can rebuild our mercenary gang. This time, the Bear Gang will never fall!
*Lukka turns to Hank*
**Lukka**: !!
*Hank turns to Lukka*
**Hank**: ...
**Robert**: Big bro, you just need to bring the Cannye into the array...
**Lukka**: !!
**Lukka**: ...
**Player**: Hey! Hank! You are not going to...
**Lukka**: Player, it's fine...
**Lukka**: I've considered every possibility...
**Lukka**: But if Hank becomes my enemy, I have no choice but to die...
**Lukka**: So, let Hank be free...
**Lukka**: I met Hank through the tabooed arcana for life extension...
**Lukka**: Now, finally, I can pay the price for my conceit and arrogance 6 years ago...
**Lukka**: It's actually... not that bad!
**Player**: !!!
**Hank**: Lukka... I'm sorry...
*Hank gently carries Lukka and puts him on his shoulder...*
**Lukka**: What? Hank...
**Hank**: I should have listened to you. I should have been more careful with Robert...
**Lukka**: What? This is what you're sorry about?
**Hank**: What else do you think? You saved my life!
**Hank**: Robert, I don't know why you have become like this.
**Hank**: Now, stop!
**Hank**: I don't care what you've done before!
**Hank**: As long as you stop now, we are still brothers!
**Robert**: Big bro, in order to not let the tragedy of the Bear Gang happen again, we need more strength!
**Hank**: But strength should not be obtained through tabooed arcana or sacrificing other people's lives!
**Robert**: Sigh...
**Robert**: Guess I'll have to convince you with my overwhelming strength...
*Robert takes a fighting stance*
**Hank**: Guess I can only wake you up by beating you!
*Hank and Robert begin to fight each other*
**Hank**: Hmm, that's some strength!
**Hank**: Bro, stop it! It's not too late!
**Robert**: Big bro, you're the person I respect most. I'll make you understand!
**Hank**: Lukka, help me beat my bro and wake him up!
**Lukka**: I've been looking forward to this for a while!
**Hank**: Lukka, let's go!
*Hank and Lukka attack Robert with their advanced skill, Cooperative Operation*
**Robert**: Hmm...
**Hank**: Robert, wake up!
**Hank**: Have you forgotten the Bear Gang's rules? The greatest strength comes from the brotherhood!
**Robert**: Hmm...
**Robert**: Big bro... the Bear Gang... is gone...
*Robert runs towards the glowing red circle on the ground*
**Shadow Bearman**: Ughhhh!
**Player**: What's he doing?
*The Shadow Bearman dies*
**Robert**: In the face of absolute power, brotherhood is...
**Robert**: Nothing, nothing at all!
**Robert**: If I destroy the brotherhood again, then you'll believe me, big bro.
*Robert absorbs the strength of the Shadow Bearman becoming even larger and emitting shadow flux*
**Hank**: Look what you've become now!
**Player**: Let me help you!
**Lukka**: No! Let's run!
**Player**: What? Run?
**Hank**: Lukka, I have to beat my bro and wake him up!
**Lukka**: Hank! Trust me!
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Player, we should listen to Lukka!
**Lukka**: Let's go!
*Player and Hank (with Lukka on his shoulder) run*
**Robert**: Howl! Big bro!
**Robert**: Join me! This time the Bear Gang will never fall!
**Player**: He's coming at us!
**Lukka**: Humph!
**Lukka**: Dare to fight me? You must be suicidal!
*Bombs go off around Robert but he still stands strong*
**Lukka**: !!
**Player**: The bombs couldn't do anything to him?
**Lukka**: That's not possible! The bombs can even blow up rocks!
**Robert**: Yes, even I cannot withstand that bomb.
**Robert**: When we arrived, you scattered bombs around here. I've seen through your little tricks!
**Robert**: Big bro, time to wake up!
**Hank**: You are the one that should wake up!
**Robert**: ...
**Hank**: He's coming! You two stay behind me!!
*Robert and Hank fight and Robert gets the upper hand*
**Player**: So... strong!
**Lukka**: Hank!
**Hank**: Hmm...
**Robert**: See! In the face of power, brotherhood is nothing...
**Hank**: Hmm... Robert... please wake up... I really don't want to...
**Robert**: Don't you see our difference?
**Hank**: Wake up! Robert...
**Lukka**: Stupid bear... you are injured badly from protecting us in the front...
**Hank**: Do you care about me now?
**Lukka**: Who cares about you? After all... if you die... I will have to die too!
**Hank**: This is our deal. You'll handle the business... and I'll handle the fights...
**Hank**: I can't break... my promise...
**Robert**: Big bro, why can't you just understand me? Sigh...
**Robert**: I have no choice but to kill you now and turn you into a part of my strength...
**Robert**: Big bro, I'm going to use your strength to rebuild the Bear Gang!
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Sorry... Robert!
*Another bomb explodes on Robert*
**Player**: !!!
**Lukka**: !!!
**Robert**: What? Since when...
**Hank**: Forgive me...
*Robert falls down, fataly injured*
**Hank**: ...
**Player**: Hank, are you okay?
**Hank**: Cough... cough... I'm fine, just some scratches...
*Lukka is so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth...*
**Lukka**: Hank, how did you do that?
**Robert**: Hmm... big bro... when did you...
**Robert**: Place the bomb... on me... cough!
**Hank**: When I was having a fight with Lukka and when I hugged you...
**Lukka**: !!!
**Lukka**: Hank, you...
**Robert**: You... at that time already...
**Robert**: Haha... it's not just the Cannye... big bro you also...
**Robert**: Don't trust me...
**Robert**: Pretend... to have a fight... and make me wary of... the Cannye...
**Robert**: But big bro... turns out you are the real deal...
**Robert**: Big bro... you're not... the same big bro anymore...
**Hank**: I'm sorry, bro... I wanted to trust you, but I just couldn't...
**Robert**: But you believed... that... Cannye...
**Robert**: Cough!
**Robert**: Is brotherhood the greatest... strength...
**Robert**: Well...
**Robert**: ...
**Hank**: So long, my brother...
*...*
*...*
*...*
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: It's been delayed for too long. Let's go look for information and get us separated!
**Player**: Hank, it's fine if you want to take more time. After all Robert...
**Hank**: My bro Robert died 6 years ago...
**Hank**: Time for business! Lukka!
**Lukka**: ...
**Hank**: Lukka?
**Lukka**: Hank, why didn't you agree to Robert's proposal just now?
**Hank**: You mean, absorb you and rebuild the mercenary team with Robert?
**Lukka**: You miss the old days, your brothers, the mercenary so much...
**Lukka**: And there was a chance for you to rebuild the mercenary, and your brother was right there, your past was right in front of you...
**Lukka**: But then you rejected all of them.
**Lukka**: I do not understand...
**Hank**: My past is long gone, I can't go back...
**Hank**: And how can I sacrifice my current brother for my past!
**Lukka**: What?
**Lukka**: ...
**Player**: ...
**Lukka**: Who...
**Lukka**: Who... wants to be brothers with this clumsy stupid bear?
**Player**: Me! Me! Me!
**Lukka**: Hey! You came after me!
**Hank**: ...
*Lukka, Hank and Player all smile*
*Later...*
**Lukka**: Did you find anything useful?
**Player**: I recorded what the life extension array looks like...
**Lukka**: I also got some related research data here.
**Hank**: Hehe, when we bring this back to the Arcana Academy, they'll know how to separate us!
**Lukka**: ...
**Lukka**: Yes... of course...
**Player**: What's wrong Lukka? Have you already started to miss Hank?
**Lukka**: What?
**Lukka**: How's that possible? I've had enough of this bear!
**Lukka**: Such a lazy, stupid and messy guy!
**Hank**: I can't stand you either! You...
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Well, looks like everything's back to normal again...
*Scene - Never Isle, Arcana Academy*
*One week later...*
*Lukka and Hank stand apart, just within their maximum distance*
**Lukka**: ...
**Hank**: ...
**Player**: ...
**Player**: The Arcana Academy has helped Lukka and Hank break the spell of their tabooed arcana...
**Player**: But neither of them has the guts to take that step...
**Player**: (Yelling) Hey! You two! Could one of you just take a step forward? Don't you want to separate?
**Hank**: It's easy for you to say, but...
**Lukka**: Stop rushing me!
**Player**: I should probably give them a little push...

**-Choice 3.1 - (Go to Lukka.)**

*Player walks up to Lukka*
**Player**: The Arcana Academy has broken the spell on your bodies. Don't worry!
**Lukka**: It's easy for you to say, but my life depends on it!
**Lukka**: If anything goes wrong, I could easily die!
**Lukka**: I can't die in a place like this...
**Player**: Sure your life depends on it, but...
**Player**: You two can't just stand here forever...
**Player**: Actually, you can continue to be travelling merchants...
**Player**: I think you two make good partners.
**Lukka**: No way!
**Lukka**: ...
*Lukka takes a step forward*
**Lukka**: !!
**Lukka**: This distance... has already exceeded our maximum distance...
**Lukka**: So, are we really... separated?
*Scene - Never Isle, in front of the fountain*
**Hank**: Lukka, it's time to say good bye!
**Lukka**: I once said the first thing I would do after separation is to kill you...
**Lukka**: But I'm in a good mood, so I'll let you live!
**Hank**: Hahaha, thank you!
**Lukka**: Hank, before you go, I've prepared something for you...
**Hank**: Hehe, I've prepared a gift for you too...
*Lukka and Hank exchange the gifts...*
**Hank**: Is this your special bomb?
**Hank**: Hehe, thank you!
**Lukka**: This is... your bonus from the business?
**Hank**: Yup, take it!
**Lukka**: Hank, are you sure you don't want to take any money we made from our business?
**Hank**: Yup! You'll need money much more than me to rebuild your gang!
**Lukka**: Hank... you...
**Lukka**: Don't... expect me to say thank you!
**Hank**: Okay, okay.
**Lukka**: Hank, what's your plan?
**Hank**: Me? I might join the Oathblades or go back to be a mercenary...
**Hank**: Right now, Luxium is not very peaceful. I won't have trouble finding a job.
**Lukka**: From now on, stop and think before charging into fights! Don't rush in like a brainless idiot!
**Lukka**: Don't...
**Lukka**: Don't... die...
**Hank**: Sure! I promise!
**Hank**: Lukka, don't be a dishonest businessman from now on...
**Lukka**: I know! Stop nagging!
**Player**: Can you guys not make it sound like a farewell...
**Player**: It's not like you won't see each other anymore...
**Player**: You're still friends!
**Hank**: Haha, sorry, I'm making this too serious.
**Hank**: Bye Lukka! If you have a job for fighting in the future, let me know!
*Hank turns to leave*
**Lukka**: Hank!
**Hank**: Yeah?
**Lukka**: Are you leaving just like that?
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Yes, I want to have a few days of freedom, free from your nagging!
**Lukka**: Me? Because of that big stupid mouth of yours we've lost many business opportunities!
**Hank**: Did you lose more money from my mouth? Or from buying too many luxury goods?
**Lukka**: Quality of life is all I want!
**Player**: How... did it turn into this...
**Player**: Stop yelling... we're all friends here.
*Some time later...*
**Hank**: My god! How did I manage to spend 6 years with a self-obsessed mad dog like you!
**Lukka**: Same here! I don't want to see this brainless bear for one more second!
**Hank**: If so...
**Hank**: Get out of my sight!
**Lukka**: Get out of my sight! (at the same time)
*Hank and Lukka storm off in opposite directions*
*Scene - Never Isle, a short distance away*
**Player**: What just happened?
**Lukka**: It's nothing...
*Lukka takes out a bag of money...*
**Lukka**: I'm booking the entire Hottie Bar!
**Player**: If you want to have a drink, just say so. Save the money for rebuilding your gang...
**Lukka**: ...
*Lukka takes away the bag of money...*
**Lukka**: Let's go for a drink then!
**Player**: ...
*Player looks concerned at Lukka's sad face*
*The two start to walk to the port but Lukka falls behind*
**Lukka**: I didn't realize you walk so fast...
**Player**: Oh? I'll walk slower then...
*A few moments later...*
**Lukka**: Huff, puff...
**Lukka**: I am... so damn tired...
**Lukka**: Did Never Isle get bigger?
**Lukka**: I didn't realize the Arcana Academy is so far away from the harbor!
**Lukka**: If only I had his shoulder to ride on...
**Lukka**: Argh! What's the point of thinking of him!
**Lukka**: Player, let's go for a drink!
*Scene ends*

**-Choice 3.2 - (Go to Hank.)**

*Player walks up to Hank*
**Hank**: Hey... Player.
**Hank**: It's been 6 years. I didn't expect this day to really come.
*Hank looks wistful...*
**Hank**: It's been 6 years. It's hard to not have feelings...
**Hank**: From now on, that little guy will not be on my shoulders anymore...
**Hank**: But he's not the same as me. He can still become a gangster boss...
**Hank**: He can still go back, go back to the days he'd been looking forward to.
**Hank**: Yeah...
*Hank takes a step forward*
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: The Arcana Academy has really helped us separate!
*Scene - Never Isle, in front of the fountain*
**Hank**: Lukka, it's time to say good bye!
**Lukka**: I once said the first thing I would do after separation is to kill you...
**Lukka**: But I'm in a good mood, so I'll let you live!
**Hank**: Hahaha, thank you!
**Lukka**: Hank, before you go, I've prepared something for you...
**Hank**: Hehe, I've prepared a gift for you too...
*Lukka and Hank exchange the gifts...*
**Hank**: Is this your special bomb?
**Hank**: Hehe, thank you!
**Lukka**: This is... your bonus from the business?
**Hank**: Yup, take it!
**Lukka**: Hank, are you sure you don't want to take any money we made from our business?
**Hank**: Yup! You'll need money much more than me to rebuild your gang!
**Lukka**: Hank... you...
**Lukka**: Don't... expect me to say thank you!
**Hank**: Okay, okay.
**Lukka**: Hank, what's your plan?
**Hank**: Me? I might join the Oathblades or go back to be a mercenary...
**Hank**: Right now, Luxium is not very peaceful. I won't have trouble finding a job.
**Lukka**: From now on, stop and think before charging into fights! Don't rush in like a brainless idiot!
**Lukka**: Don't...
**Lukka**: Don't... die...
**Hank**: Sure! I promise!
**Hank**: Lukka, don't be a dishonest businessman from now on...
**Lukka**: I know! Stop nagging!
**Player**: Can you guys not make it sound like a farewell...
**Player**: It's not like you won't see each other anymore...
**Player**: You're still friends!
**Hank**: Haha, sorry, I'm making this too serious.
**Hank**: Bye Lukka! If you have a job for fighting in the future, let me know!
*Hank turns to leave*
**Lukka**: Hank!
**Hank**: Yeah?
**Lukka**: Are you leaving just like that?
**Hank**: ...
**Hank**: Yes, I want to have a few days of freedom, free from your nagging!
**Lukka**: Me? Because of that big stupid mouth of yours we've lost many business opportunities!
**Hank**: Did you lose more money from my mouth? Or from buying too many luxury goods?
**Lukka**: Quality of life is all I want!
**Player**: How... did it turn into this...
**Player**: Stop yelling... we're all friends here.
*Some time later...*
**Hank**: My god! How did I manage to spend 6 years with a self-obsessed mad dog like you!
**Lukka**: Same here! I don't want to see this brainless bear for one more second!
**Hank**: If so...
**Hank**: Get out of my sight!
**Lukka**: Get out of my sight! (at the same time)
*Hank and Lukka storm off in opposite directions*
*Scene - Never Isle, a short distance away*
**Hank**: Ah, Player...
**Player**: Why were you guys fighting again?
**Hank**: I do not know...
**Hank**: I thought I'd be very excited and happy today because finally I have the freedom to do whatever I want...
**Hank**: But...
**Hank**: I don't know why, I feel...
**Hank**: Angry!
**Player**: Hank, let's take a stroll around the island!
**Player**: Walking would make you feel better...
**Hank**: Oh? Thank you, my bro!
*Hank and Player tour the isle*
**Hank**: I didn't know Never Isle is so big, with so many fun places to go to...
**Hank**: We used to spend all our time doing business. I've never actually had a good look around.
*Noisy merchant can be heard from afar...*
**Merchant**: The best Kite Ruby in Luxium, come have a look!
**Hank**: Sigh... okay... let's go have a look...
*Hank walks towards the merchant as if on autopilot*
**Player**: What?
*Player catches up to Hank*
**Merchant**: Good day, do you want to buy this gem? This is the best Kite Ruby. It's only 100 thousand gold each!
**Hank**: 100 thousand gold? Lukka, we are not buying this!
**Player**: Hank... Lukka... is not here...
**Hank**: Oh, right!
**Hank**: I got mixed up... hahaha... hahahaha...
**Hank**: If he was still on my shoulder, he would...
**Hank**: Nah, why would I think about him? I have my life to live!
*Scene ends*
