First time talking to her

Mirabelle (anxious2) Oh! Hi, Siffrin...

Mirabelle (awkward2) You, uh, look...

Mirabelle (anxious2) Um, are you okay? Did you have a nightmare during your nap, maybe...?

(You have to deal the King the final hit instead of her, you're sure of it, but...)

(You need her to learn her shield skill. The one that protects you from anything.)

(Come to think of it, you forgot to tell her about the original shield skill, earlier.)

(The one you usually tell her about when you enter Dormont.)

(Oh well. The shield she learns when you help her with her papers will do the job just fine.)

(But you don't have time.)

(You need to get to the King)

(you don't have time you don't have time you don't have

Subsequent times without attempting her friendquest

Mirabelle (worried1) Siffrin...?

Siffrin (TS_fake1)

• "Would you like some help with those papers?"

  Dialogue continues.

• "I'll be right back."

  Mirabelle (hm2) Mirabelle (anxious2): Oh! O-okay...

---

Mirabelle (awawa1) With my papers? N-No, of course not!!!

Mirabelle (stressed1) Don't worry about them! They're not important at all, they're--

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "They're bonding papers, aren't they?"

Mirabelle (uwah!1) HUH?!? How did you--

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "Maybe I can help."

Mirabelle (anxious3) . . .

Mirabelle (awkward2) I... I suppose I could use your help, Siffrin...

Mirabelle (stressed1) Y-Yes, let's do it!!! It'll distract us both!!! From our problems!!!

(...)

(You sit down.)

(Mirabelle looks at you without saying a word.)

Mirabelle (hm2) ...

Mirabelle (awkward2) So, um...

Mirabelle (anxious1) Well, you know they're bonding papers, so I don't need to explain...

Mirabelle (stressed1) B-But really it's more like, um, dating? Dating profiles... I-I'm not thinking about being bonded yet...

Mirabelle (awkward2) ...

Mirabelle (stressed1) Before this all started, with the King... I decided I wanted to, uh, try. To date someone.

Mirabelle (hm1) And so I asked a dating company, and they gave me a bunch of folders of people that I could meet, and that I could date... But I haven't gone through it yet...

Mirabelle (awkward1b) So I figured I could at least get that done today. And look through all of them, and make a list?

Mirabelle (serious4) Of people I could see myself... Dating.

Mirabelle (awkward2) And... I suppose I need help? I'm choosing someone I could spend the rest of my life with... So I'd appreciate another pair of eyes.

Mirabelle (hm1) Or, um, just the one eye. As long as it's not my two eyes looking at this. Um...

Mirabelle (awkward1b) And also I need a distraction from tomorrow very badly, so I figured I--

(Too long, too long, this is taking too long.)

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "You know, you don't have to be bonded to anyone.

Mirabelle (anxious3) And . . .  Huh?

Mirabelle (anxious2) Wh... What do you mean?

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "If you're alone for your whole life, then that's just how it is."

Mirabelle (no!2) ...Wh... What?

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Isn't it better to just come to terms with it now, rather than later?""

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "You don't need to be with anyone to be happy, after all!"

Mirabelle (no!2) . . .

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "So..."

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "So you should just accept it!"

Mirabelle (no!2) Accept... Accept what, Siffrin...?

Siffrin (TS_fake2) "Accept that you'll always be alone!"

The screen briefly turns black. A hit is heard. When light returns, Mirabelle is standing in front of Siffrin. Siffrin's head is tilted to the side.

( . . . Mirabelle slapped you.)

(Mirabelle slapped you...?)

Mirabelle (serious4) ... How can you...

Mirabelle (angry2) How can you say such horrible things, Siffrin!!!

(What? But...)

Mirabelle (sad2) I'll never be bonded with anyone? I'll always be alone?

Mirabelle (angry2) Change, what makes you think you can say such horrible things, Siffrin!!!

Siffrin (TS_shocked1) (Oh!) "No, I didn't mean it like..."

Mirabelle (angry2) Then HOW did you mean it, Siffrin!!!

Mirabelle (angry3) What's wrong with you today? You were weird when you woke up, you were walking around and not responding to anyone...

Mirabelle (angry3) ...You knew about my papers even though I didn't tell anyone, and now this!!!

Mirabelle (serious4) Is something wrong, Siffrin? Did something happen? Did you have a nightmare or something?

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "No, of course not."

Mirabelle (angry2) Then what happened, Siffrin! Because clearly something did happen!!!

Mirabelle (serious4) Otherwise, i-if nothing happened, I'll have to accept the fact that I was wrong about you!!!

Siffrin (TS_shocked1) (Huh...?) "Wrong about me...?"

Mirabelle (angry4) . . .

Mirabelle (serious2) You always tease me, Siffrin.

Mirabelle (serious3) And it's fine. Everybody does. I guess I have the kind of personality where it's easy to want to tease me.

Mirabelle (serious1) But I know people don't mean it. It's how-- It's how some people make friends.

Mirabelle (serious3) And I thought it was the same for you.

Mirabelle (serious4) I thought, "It's okay, they don't mean it, it's how they are. They tease me, but they're never mean. And Siffrin never really hurts me."

Mirabelle (sad2) "Would never really hurt me."

Mirabelle (sad2) . . .

Mirabelle (angry2) But now you have, Siffrin!

Mirabelle (angry3) Thinking I should be alone... Telling me I should be alone...

Mirabelle (angry2) Who do you think you are, to say this to me? Acting like-- Like you know better than me!!!

Mirabelle (angry2) Always soooo mysterious, Siffrin, always talking as if you're better than me! As if you know me!!!

Mirabelle (angry2) But you don't, Siffrin!!! You're just as lost and useless as I am!!!

Mirabelle (angry1) So stop!!! Talking!!! As if you know me!!!!!!

(Mirabelle breathes heavily.)

Mirabelle (angry4) . . .

Mirabelle (angry5) You've hurt me, Siffrin. And I was wrong.

Mirabelle (serious2) For you to say something like that to me, and think it was okay...

Mirabelle (angry5) You're awful. You're not my friend, not my ally, not anything.

Mirabelle (angry4) You never were.

( . . . )

Mirabelle (angry4) . . .

Mirabelle exits the stage to the right.

Mirabelle (angry5) I'm going to the Clocktower.

Mirabelle (angry5) I don't want to see you until tonight.

(...)

(But you didn't mean it like...)

(...)

(You... You've made Mirabelle very upset.)

(No, no, that's not what's important here, is it?)

The screen is covered in a static effect.

(She'll get over it one way or loop or another, but you didn't get her shield skill.)

(But maybe it doesn't matter that much.)

(You can just bring her back to that book about shields in the secret library, before you go and fight the King.)

(You don't really need her special skill, after all. The usual shield skill will do just fine.)

(It WOULD be nice to get everyone else's special skill, though...)

(. . .)

(Back to it.)

First time talking to her

Odile (up1) Oh, Siffrin.

Odile (worried2) ... Siffrin? You look... Different.

Odile (dotdotdot1) What's wrong?

Subsequent times without attempting her friendquest

Odile (dotdotdot3) .. .What's wrong, Siffrin?

If you haven't talked to Mirabelle yet

(Not right now.)

(You need to talk with Mirabelle, first.)

Dialogue ends here.

If you have

Siffrin (TS_fake1)

• "Nothing's wrong, but..."

  Dialogue continues.

• "I'll talk to you later."

  Odile (gimme1) What? No, wait--

---

Odile (serious2) No, something is wrong. What--

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "...Have you heard of something called a familytale?"

Odile (huh3) !

Odile (guilty1) ... I may have. What about them?

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "I've heard of someone who has one."

Siffrin (TS_fake2) "Would you like to come check with me?"

Odile (dotdotdot1) . . .

Odile (dotdotdot2) Lead the way, I suppo

Time skips forward. Siffrin and Odile now stand in the boulangerie.

Talking to Odile in the Boulangerie

Odile (dotdotdot1) ...

---

Talking to the Big Boulanger

(Don't waste time. Just talk to her.)

---

Talking to the Small Boulangère

(Don't waste any time.)

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Hi!"

Small Boulangère H-Hi...

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "Know anything about a book?"

Small Boulangère A book?

Small Boulangère Um...

Odile (dotdotdot2) ...

Small Boulangère This is the only book I have!

(She happily shows off the Paperasse familytale.)

Odile (dotdotdot3) !

Big Boulanger WHAT?

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Oh my!"

Big Boulanger . . .So you had it, Charline...

Big Boulanger Were you two looking for this?

Big Boulanger Well, I suppose you two can borrow it, if you'd like?

(You got the PAPERASSE FAMILYTALE.)

Odile (serious2) Siffrin...

Odile (dotdotdot2) . . .

Odile (serious4) Thank you both. We'll give it back shortly.

Big Boulanger Take your time.

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Shall we go elsewhere, now?"

Odile (serious3) ...Lead the wa--

Time skips forward. Siffrin and Odile now sit in the clearing in the forest.

(You have the book, but.)

(Odile isn't following stage directions,)

(And is looking  right  at you.)

Odile (dotdotdot3) . . .

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Quite a fascinating book, isn't it?"

Odile (dotdotdot2) Siffrin.

Odile (dotdotdot1) How did you know the little girl had a familytale?

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "I figured I should ask."

Odile (doubt1) Why?

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Why not?"

Odile (dotdotdot2) . . .

Odile (dotdotdot2) Knowing that little girl owned a familytale is one thing, Siffrin...

Odile (dotdotdot1) But... How did you even know I wanted to read one?

(...)

(You already failed this one, didn't you.)

(Why didn't you remember that she always, always finds out?)

(She always figures out something is wrong, when you're not careful.)

(Because she doesn't trust you.)

Odile (huh2) And even this place... Why did you bring us here?

(You stay silent.)

Odile (dotdotdot1) ...Siffrin.

Odile (dotdotdot2) I don't mind secrets, Siffrin. I have many of my own. If you want to keep yours... That's fine.

Odile (serious2) But what I hate... Is when those secrets are about me, and when people I consider friends keep them from me.

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "So we're friends, now?"

Odile (huh1) "Now"...?

(You don't answer.)

Odile (dotdotdot3) ... Siffrin...

Odile (worried2) Oh, Siffrin...

(She raises a hand towards you.)

Odile (worried2) ...You're shaking.

(You try not to startle.)

Odile (guilty2) And you're so tense. Like you're about to snap...

Odile (serious2) Siffrin... I was worried before, but now I'm VERY worried.

Odile (guilty1) W-What's happening? What's wrong? How can I--

Siffrin steps forward as they yell. Odile steps back.

Siffrin (TS_angry1) "NOTHING'S WRONG!!!"

Odile (uwah!1) Siffrin?

Siffrin (TS_angry2) "If you're going to ask questions, instead of acting like normal..."

Siffrin (TS_angry2) "Then I don't need you!!! I don't need this right now!!!"

Siffrin (TS_angry2) "If you can't act normally then just leave me alone!!!"

Odile (worried1) But clearly something's wrong, Siffrin, just--

Siffrin (TS_angry1) "Nothing's wrong!!!"

Siffrin (TS_angry2) "Why are you always like this? So overbearing, always trying to know everything?!"

Odile (no!1) What--

Siffrin (TS_angry2) "So blinding annoying, Odile!!!"

Siffrin (TS_angry1) "You should just leave me behind!!!"

Siffrin (TS_angry1) "It's your family specialty, isn't it?!?"

Odile (no!1) !!!

Siffrin (TS_angry1) "Just leave me behind! Just like you left Ka Bue behind!!!"

Siffrin (TS_angry2) "Just like your mom le--"

(You don't even finish your sentence.)

(Odile grabs your collar.)

(She lets you go.)

Odile (angryBUTSUPER1) . . .

Odile (angryBUTSUPER1) .  .  .

Odile (angryBUTSUPER2) Thank you for finding that familytale for me, Siffrin.

Odile (angryBUTSUPER2) I'm sure you have a lot of things left to do today.

Odile (angryBUTSUPER2) I'll be at the Clocktower.

The screen fades to black.

Odile (angryBUTSUPER2) Don't come back for a bit.

Odile leaves the clearing. Siffrin stands alone as the screen fades back in.

(What the...)

(What did you say?)

(Why did you say that?!)

(How could you have said such a horrible thing to her!!!)

(She was only worried about you!!! And you said, you said--)

(What is wrong with you?!?)

(...)

The screen turns black with a static effect.

(Well, that's fine. You didn't really need that skill, anyway.)

(You can barely remember what it does half the time.)

(And Odile already has so many useful skills...)

(You'll be fine.)

(You're the one who needs to deal the final strike, anyway.)

(...)

• If you've talked to Bonnie: (One to go.)
• If you have not: (You should talk to Bonnie next.)

When the screen fades back in, Siffrin is already at the veggie fields or the Favor Tree.

First time talking to them

Bonnie (sulk1) ...

Bonnie (sulk3) ...heyfrin.

Bonnie (surprised1) ...Frin? What's wrong? You look...

Bonnie (serious1) You don't look good.

  Dialogue continues.

  Bonnie (wait1) O... Okay?

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "How about I teach you how to fight, today?"

Bonnie (wow1) R-Really?

Bonnie (sad1) I, I, um...

Bonnie (happy2) I would really like that. Will you really?

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "Of course."

Bonnie (wow1) Oh!

Bonnie (and then1) Then, yeah!!! Let's g--

Time skips forward. Siffrin and Bonnie now stand on the grassy path, in front of a Sadness.

Bonnie (no!1) L-Look, look! I'm not scared!!!

Bonnie (angry1) COME ON!!!

Battle starts. It's a basic Paper type Tristesse.

Bonnie (wait1) I'm not scared... I'm not scared...

Bonnie (no!1) I can do this... I can--

(Too long, too long, it's taking too BLINDING long.)

(You only need to fall over to make them act, don't you?)

(You just need to make them realize they can protect you.)

(You just need)

(To fall...)

(Now.)

You hear a whiff, followed by a thud.

(...You tripped on nothing.)

(The Sadness saw you trip, and now has its sight on you.)

(Bonnie saw you trip, too.)

Bonnie (wait1) Wh-What?  What did you . . .

Bonnie (no!1) !!! FRIN!!! NO!!!!!!

(Bonnie attacks the Sadness with a special cut-in illustration, dealing around 3000 damage and killing it instantly.)

Bonnie (wait1) Ah... Ah...

(You breathe in, and out.)

(150 EXP recieved.)

The battle ends. Bonnie is standing far ahead of Siffrin, but quickly turns back towards them.

Bonnie (no!2) F-FRIN!!!

Bonnie (wait1) Why did you fall?! What did you trip on?!? You almost got hurt!!! You... You . . .

Bonnie (sulk2) You  .  .  .

Bonnie (surprised1) You...  Didn't trip on anything. It's like you just... Fell?

(You don't say anything.)

Bonnie (sad1) You fell on nothing... And you... You didn't look scared...

Bonnie (sulk2) Frin...

Bonnie (sulk3) You...   let yourself get attacked on purpose?

(You don't move.)

Bonnie (no!1) I saw it, I saw you! You-- You looked around, and the Sadness was about to attack, and you, you just fell...

Bonnie (wait1) And-- You didn't even look surprised, Frin!!!

Bonnie (no!1) But why would you do that?! I don't get it!!!

Bonnie (wait1) You fell, and I... I didn't think you could've moved fast enough, so I... attacked the Sadness...  On my own . . .

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Yeah!"

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "And you beat it on your own, too!"

Bonnie (surprised1) What...?

Siffrin (TS_fake2) "I did that so you'd become stronger! More confident!"

Bonnie (whichone1) .  .  .

Siffrin (TS_fake2) "If I get hurt, you protect me."

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "And if you get hurt, I'll protect you!"

Siffrin (TS_unhinged2) "That's how it is with us, isn't it? We promised!"

Siffrin (TS_unhinged1) "I-I just wanted you to be stronger!"

Bonnie (whichone1) .  .  .

Bonnie (whichone1) What...

Bonnie's map sprite changes, and looks sad.

Bonnie (crying2) WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?

(You jump.)

Bonnie (crying1) YOU GOT HURT ON PURPOSE? SO I WOULD SAVE YOU?

Bonnie (angry2) WHY WOULD YOU THINK I WANTED THIS, FRIN!!!

Bonnie (crying2) I DON'T WANT THIS!!! I NEVER WANTED THIS!!!

Bonnie (crying3) I DON'T WANT TO BE STRONG IF IT MEANS YOU HAVE TO BE HURT!!! NO!!!

Bonnie (crying3) NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie's map sprite changes again. This time, it's animated---they're visibly sobbing.

Bonnie (crying3) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! FRIN, YOU STUPID IDIOT!!!!!!!!!

Siffrin (TS_shocked1) (...)  "I..."

Siffrin (TS_shocked2) "I thought it would help."

Bonnie (crying1) NO!!! IT DIDN'T HELP!!! IT REALLY DIDN'T HELP!!!

Bonnie (angry2) I HATE YOU, FRIN!!!!!!

Bonnie (crying3) I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

(Bonnie cries, and cries, and cries.)

(You can't move.)

Bonnie's map sprite changes. They're no longer sobbing, but tears still run down their face.

Bonnie (crying5) . . .I...

Bonnie (crying5) I can't...

Bonnie (crying4) .  .  .

The screen fades out.

(Bonnie runs away.)

The screen fades back in.

( . . .)

(You . . .)

(Because of you, Bonnie...)

The screen turns black with a static effect.

(Didn't get stronger.)

(Not that their attacks got that much stronger after you talked to them, didn't it?)

(You'll be fine, as long as you know Bonnie's here to watch your back.)

(As long as you defeat the King yourself, it doesn't matter what skills they all do or don't have.)

• If you've talked to Odile: (One to go.)
• If you have not: (You should talk to Odile next.)

When the screen fades back in, Siffrin is already at the shop or the Favor Tree.

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Hey, Isa."

Isabeau (neutral1) Oh, Sif--

(Your smile stops Isa in his tracks.)

(This is not a good thing.)

Isabeau (hm5) . . .

Isabeau (sad4) Um, I...

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "What's wrong?"

Isabeau (hm5) . . .

Isabeau (awkward1) Um, nothing, just...

Isabeau (sad1) Mira, Odile and Bonnie came to talk to me, earlier... They all looked a little upset.

Isabeau (sad4) So, uh...  Did something happen...?

(Talking behind your back, as always.)

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "Nothing happened, no."

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Would you like to go see the stars with me?"

Isabeau (angry2) The stars? But those only appear at night... It won't be nighttime for a few hours still...

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "Later, then."

Isabeau (hm5) Oh... Sure.

Isabeau (hm4) .  .  .

Isabeau (sad1) Sif...

Isabeau (huh1) A-Are you okay?

Isabeau (hm5) I've heard that . . .

Isabeau (fufufu1) Well! I've heard from trusted sources that you are not doing very well today.

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "No, I'm fine."

Isabeau (really1) Yeah, that's a lie and we both know it, buddy.

Isabeau (hahaha1) What's wrong? Is it something you can tell your buddy Isa?

(...)

Isabeau (hm5) ...Sif...

Isabeau (fufufu1) You know, I get like that too. Sometimes, I feel weird, and I wanna push away everyone.

Isabeau's dialogue starts repeating here.

Isabeau (really1) But you know it's not good, right? It's not healthy!

Isabeau (angry1) And I, and everyone else, we want you to be okay. To talk to us!

Isabeau (yeah!1) Because we're companions! Comrades in arms!

Isabeau (hahaha1) And we want everyone in our little crew to be ready for anything, right?

If this is the first loop of his dialogue, the zone out symbol appears, even though you haven't heard this before...

Isabeau (hahaaa1) Especially since... No matter what, tomorrow will be our last day together, as a family, I guess.

Isabeau (hahaha1) So please don't hesitate, okay? And talk to us! Or just me, or just Odile, or whoever! About anything!

Isabeau (really1) And you know, I get like that too. Sometimes, I feel weird, and I wanna push away everyone.

Isabeau's dialogue repeats. For every repetition, the screen gets darker.

Until Siffrin zones out through it.

Isabeau HEY!!!!!

Isabeau (angry2) What the...  Sif, were you even listening to what I was saying...?

(...)

Isabeau (hm4) Sif...

Isabeau (worried1) They were right, Sif, something IS wrong!

Isabeau (worried1) Mirabelle said you were acting weird since you woke up! Odile told me something happened, with a book? That you shouldn't have known about?

Isabeau (worried2) And Bonnie was crying so much they could barely string two words together!

Isabeau (worried2) Did you do something? Did they misunderstand? They had to, right? You wouldn't... You wouldn't do stuff like that...

Isabeau (worried1) What's happening, Sif? Is something wrong? Can you tell me?

(Why is he so suspicious of you right now?)

(Urgh, so annoying, all of them!!!)

(Always talking behind your back, always acting weird, always deviating from their role every time you look away for a single blinding second!!!)

(Don't they get it?!)

(You just want them to follow!!!)

(You just want them to come with you!!!)

(You just want them here!!!)

(And the easiest way to keep them close is to make sure they don't die, and the easiest way to make sure they don't die is to make them stronger, why can't they understand that?!?)

(You don't want to talk!!!)

(You don't want to think about your problems!!!)

(You just want to follow the script, the Universe, to the end, like always, except this time, you'll break it, and you'll kill him, and you'll escape, and everything will be--)

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Yeah, something's wrong."

Isabeau (worried1) I knew it! What is it, can I help?

Isabeau (wonder1) If you tell me, we can go and talk to everyone, and--

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "What's wrong is that you're getting on my nerves."

Isabeau (surprised1) H u h . . . ?

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Oooh, Mr Amazing-Wonderful-Funny-Buff Isabeau!"

Siffrin (TS_dismissive1) "Look at you."

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "You're acting as if you're so calm and reasonable..."

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "When all you are is weak and useless!"

Isabeau (shock2) .  .  .

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "Nothing to say this time?"

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "It's just fine."

If Siffrin Knows:

Siffrin (TS_dismissive1) "You never could say it, anyway."

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "You never could say anything."

---

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "I know what kind of person you are, now."

Isabeau (shock1) What kind of... Person I am?

Siffrin (TS_fake2) "A coward, Isa!"

Siffrin (TS_fake2b) "Never able to say what you mean, never able to do what you want."

Siffrin (TS_fake2b) "Because it's easier, isn't it? To not do anything?"

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "To only project a facade of confidence, but not doing anything to back it up?"

Isabeau (shock2) . . .

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "It's easier to let people do everything, isn't it."

Siffrin (TS_dismissive2) "To just encourage them, while staying on the sidelines."

Siffrin (TS_fake1b) "Poor Isabeau."

Siffrin (TS_fake2) "You keep changing and changing, from a nerd to a jock to a clothing designer..."

Siffrin (TS_dismissive1) "But deep down, you know you can't escape yourself."

Isabeau (shock3) .  .  .

Isabeau (shock2) I...

Isabeau (shock1) I don't know where this is all coming from, but...

Isabeau (angry1) But maybe you're right, Sif.

Isabeau (angry1) Yeah, I'm weak. Yeah, I'm a coward.

Isabeau (angry1) Yeah, I feel like I can never do things right.

Isabeau (angry2) Yeah, I keep changing personalities like clothes, because it's easier than learning to like myself.

---

If Siffrin Knows

Isabeau (angry2) YEAH, there are things I can't tell you, no matter how hard I try.

---

Isabeau (disappointed2) But at least, I'm trying to change. I'm trying to be someone I can be proud of. I'm trying to be better.

Isabeau (sad3) So I can help and support the people I care about.

Isabeau (angry3) Unlike someone else here.

Siffrin (TS_busted1) "..."

Isabeau (angry2) ...

Isabeau (angry2) I don't want to talk to you right now.

Isabeau (angry1) I'm gonna join everyone at the Clocktower.

Siffrin (TS_fake1) "...I'll see you there."

Isabeau (really1) Oh, sure.

Isabeau (oh1) Take your time, though.

Isabeau (hahaha2) Take all the time you need!

Isabeau leaves.
