## Cat

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation may reward the player with a Melody of Time and Bond +10.

The conversation will mention that Nikki has arrived late at night, but this conversation can take place during the day.

I'm home...
Player Selection
▸ You're back so late tonight.
Nikki
There were so many customers are the café today...
I'm spent...
My legs hurt.
My waist is aching.
My head feels heavy.
Uh-
I wish I were a cat.
A cat could just sleep and yawn and eat all day.
Player Selection
▸ Yeah, I agree.
▸ What happened to working hard?
Nikki
If only I could be a cat...
This part-time job really taught me how hard it is to make a living.
[*If the player has told Nikki they are in school*]

Nikki
You're still in school like me, right?
School is less tiring compared to work...
I wish I could go back to school and stop using my brain...
Nikki
Ugh... I have another shift tomorrow.
Player Selection
▸ Think happy thoughts!
▸ Get some rest if you're tired.
Nikki
I do feel a bit sleepy now...
But I still need to finish a design...
Player Selection
▸ You can do it tomorrow.
Nikki
The design was due yesterday, though...
I guess I'll just get some rest and start afresh tomorrow.
Nikki
Thank you, Mocha. It's great to have someone to talk to.
If you get tired, you can come to me for company.
[*Receive Melody of Time*]

Player Selection
▸ You'll chat with me?
Nikki
Of course I will!
▸ You'll sing for me?
Nikki
I'm not a great singer, though...
But... sure!
I can learn whatever song you want to hear.
▸ You'll listen to me vent?
Player Selection
▸ You're tired. You should get some rest.
Nikki
Okay, I'll be off to bed.
[*Receive Bond +10*]

## Passion Project

Other requirements, if any, are unknown. This conversation may reward the player Bond +10.

This conversation includes no voice acting.

Ugh, this still looks wrong...
Player Selection
▸ What's wrong?
Nikki
My design sketch. It still doesn't look right.
I wonder... is the color the problem? Or the shape itself?
Player Selection
▸ It already looks great to me.
Nikki
I guess I could just leave it like this...
But...
I just feel like something's missing.
I had higher expectations for this.
Have you felt like this before, [player]?
Player Selection
▸ No, but I understand how you're feeling.
▸ It's happened to me too.
Nikki
You're just like me, then.
Player Selection
▸ Word.
Nikki
It makes me seriously doubt my abilities.
Player Selection
▸ And also frustrated, yeah?
Nikki
Yeah! That's exactly how it feels.
Looks like you've got a passion project too, right?
Player Selection
▸ With passion comes high expectations.
Nikki
Yeah, but there's not much I can do about this...
Okay, I need to cut this out! Keep my chin up!
I just need to work harder and make it perfect.
Player Selection
▸ But don't you hate feeling inadequate?
Nikki
I hate it, but we just need to take it easy and slow.
No one said leveling up would be easy, right?
Player Selection
▸ Heh, thanks for the comforting words.
Nikki
I'm comforting myself too, in a way.
Oh, now I know what else this design needs!
I just need to change the color over here...
And here...
