(Some books, all lined up.)

---

First time

(There's a space in between two books, like someone removed it.)

Bonnie (sad1) ...

(...Ah, Bonnie seems to be reading it intently.)

(It has a very striking cover of a Mwudu clay figurine with large, sunken eyes and a screaming mouth.)

(You can't read the title...)

Siffrin (smiling3) (You're curious.) "What do you have here?"

Bonnie (no!2) !!!

(Bonnie hides the book in their pocket.)

Bonnie (no!2) N-nothing!!! It's nothing!!! Nothing at all!!!

Siffrin (okay2) (Sure.) "Okay..."

Bonnie (no!1) Shut up!!! It's fine!!! I'm fine!!!

Bonnie (angry1) ...S-stop looking at it, stop looking at me!!! Shut up!!!

Bonnie (no!1) Here take this book instead!!!

(Bonnie shoves a book at you.)

("Sneezing: How To Expulse Bad Thoughts".)

(Wow............)

---

Subsequent times without progressing the sidequest

(There's a space in between two books, like someone removed it.)

(Bonnie took the book with the weird figurine on the cover with them, like they did the first time.)

(The cover with a Mwudu clay figurine with large, sunken eyes, and a screaming mouth...)

(You're curious. Can you find that book elsewhere?)

---

After finding the book in the Floor 1 break room

(You know which book Bonnie is reading, but...)

---

After Bonnie yells at Siffrin, but before you obtain Memory of Promise

(You don't look at them, or at Bonnie.)

"Bonnie was looking at a book...."

Loop (hm1) They were, weren't they?

Loop (hm1) A book with a scary figurine on it... They acted very defensive when they saw you'd noticed.

Loop (hmmm1) But... Who cares? Is it that important to find out?

(...)

(Something about it worries you.)

(Since Bonnie takes the book away before you can read it, you wonder if you could find that book elsewhere...)

(Some books.)

(One of them has a very striking cover of a Mwudu clay figurine with large, sunken eyes and a screaming mouth.)

---

Normal and after completing the quest

(Spooky.)

---

After Bonnie picks up the book

(...)

(Wait, isn't this the book Bonnie was looking at, on the third floor?)

(They were very defensive about it...)

(You look at the back...)

("Life To Ashes: Death Rituals From Around the World.")

(. . .)

(Why would Bonnie look at this...?)

---

Subsequent times without progressing the quest

("Life To Ashes: Death Rituals From Around the World.")

(Why would Bonnie...)

---

After Bonnie yells at Siffrin:

(...)

Normal

(Some books.)

---

After Bonnie picks up the book

(...)

"Bonnie was looking at a book..."

Loop (happy1) They were... And you found a copy of that book elsewhere.

Loop (away1) "Life To Ashes: Death Rituals From Around the World"...

Loop (sad2) Why would... Why would they look at this book? What would make them interested in this...?

(You think you know the exact moment that made them think about this.)

Mirabelle (happy1) This room feels safe too, doesn't it?

Bonnie (surprised1) Break time?

Odile (hm1) Maybe not. We might still have a lot to--

The sound of a stomach growling.

Mirabelle (uwah!1) Wh-WHAT WAS THAT?!?

Isabeau (blush3) It was my tummy, sorry!

Bonnie (wait1) That was so loud...

Odile (hm1) How hungry are you for it to be this loud...?

Isabeau (brag1) I don't get this swole by skipping meals!!!

Odile (hm1) Urgh. Anyway, let's take a break for now...

The group sits down. Bonnie is off in the corner, preparing snacks.

Isabeau (brag1) Bonbooooon, how much longer until the snacks are dooooone?

Bonnie (no!1) Five minuuuuuutes!!!

Isabeau (brag1) Okay take your tiiiiiiime!

Isabeau (huh2) ...  Hey everyone, hey, hey

Odile (huh1) Hm?

Isabeau (awkward1) So, um... We haven't brought it up yet, so um... I have a question?

Mirabelle (haha1) Ah, a secret adult conversation for adults no kids allowed?

Odile (doubt1) Do you not want Boniface to hear?

Isabeau (angry1) Yeah... If we're sure they won't hear, then yeah...

• ACT 2: Siffrin (joke1) (Say at normal volume:)
• ACT 3: Siffrin (smiling3) (Say at normal volume:)
• ACT 4: Siffrin (fake1) (...)

• "Bonnie has a crab face!"

  Isabeau (awkward1) ...

  Mirabelle (awkward1b) ...

  Odile (dotdotdot1) ...

  
  

  (You give a thumbs up.)

  
  

  Mirabelle (awawa1) So mean, Siffrin!

• "Bonnie is the cutest!"

  Isabeau (brag1) They sure are!

  Isabeau (awkward1) ...

  Mirabelle (awkward1b) ...

  Odile (dotdotdot1) ...

  
  

  (You give a thumbs up.)

• "Bonnie forgot to tie their shoe!"

  Isabeau (awkward1) ...

  Mirabelle (awkward1b) ...

  Odile (dotdotdot1) ...

  
  

  (You give a thumbs up.)

  
  

  Odile (awkward1) Oh gems, they actually did forget. Someone better tell them later...

Isabeau (awkward1) Good. Um. Okay. So.

Isabeau (hahaaa1) If any of you bites the dust, what should we do with your body?

Mirabelle (awawa1) UM?

Odile (lol1) Haha, what?

• ACT 2: Siffrin (um1)
• ACT 3 and 4: Siffrin (fake1)
• "Yikes?"
• Available in ACT 4: "..."

Isabeau (huhwah1) I'm sorry! I'm sorry to ask!!! I know it's not the best moment!!!

Isabeau (hm4) B-but most of us have different beliefs, don't we? So, well...

Isabeau (wonder1) In case, Change forbid, one of us dies today, and the others are able to honor your body...

Isabeau (disappointed1) How should we do it?

Isabeau (awkward1) ...Like, m'dame Odile, is there a Ka Buan way, or...

Odile (guilty1) ...No, it's... It's a valid concern.

Odile (wonder1) Well... In Ka Bue, you'd burn the body and take the ashes to a Gemmaker to transform them into a diamond, but that won't be easily feasible, will it...

Mirabelle (anxious2) You'd change into a diamond?!

Isabeau (oh1) Hardcore...

Odile (gimme1) But if that's not doable, you can donate my body to any House in Vaugarde. If Vaugarde is saved, I'm sure they'd have a use for the body of a savior...

Mirabelle (anxious3) ...

Mirabelle (awkward2) W-well, the House of Change recommends burying your body under a tree, so our body can nurture the nature around it.. Be part of Change and all that...

Mirabelle (anxious3) Is it the same for you, Isabeau?

Bonnie stops moving in the corner. They're listening.

Isabeau (hahaaa1) I mean, I'd be dead, right? So I don't really... care that much about later.

Isabeau (awkward1) And for, well, Bonnie, what should--

Mirabelle (serious2) We won't allow Bonnie to die.

Odile (dotdotdot3) Over our dead bodies.

Odile (dotdotdot2) Even if we're about to die, there are ways to use Craft to make sure Bonnie will survive.

Isabeau (disappointed1) So, no matter what...

(...)

(You're not imagining it.)

(Bonnie stopped preparing food.)

(...)

(You all talked about your possible deaths, and then you saw Bonnie read a book about burial rituals... You didn't want to be right, but...)

(...But still, you have to make sure... Maybe... Maybe Bonnie isn't...)

(You whisper...)

Siffrin (shit1) "...Bonnie?"

Bonnie (sad1) . . .

Bonnie (sulk2) ...What?

Isabeau (huhwah1) !

Odile (no!1) !

Mirabelle (no!2) !

Siffrin (sad2) "Were you listening to us just now?"

Bonnie (sad1) ...  I don't wanna talk about it...

Bonnie (no!2) I don't wanna talk about it!!! I don't wanna talk about any of us dying!!!

Isabeau (sad2) Oh, Bonnie...

Mirabelle (sad1) Bonnie--

(Oh no, why did you have to say anything.)

(Yeah, you had to say something, but they were listening all this time before and they were fine, right?!? Why did you have to say something?!)

(You should do something, you have to fix this--)

Odile (worried2) Please, listen to--

Bonnie (angry1) No!!!

Bonnie (angry1) You're all stupid for talking about this!!! Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!

(Touch!!!)

(You remember that touch is useful to make people less upset, or so you've heard.)

(No better time to try!!!)

(You approach Bonnie, and try to pat their head.)

(You don't even get close before Bonnie slaps your hand away, and--)

Bonnie (crying1) Don't touch me!!!

Bonnie (angry2) Curse you, Frin!!! Don't come near me!!!

Bonnie (angry2) I don't want you to touch me, I don't want you to talk to me, I don't want you to even LOOK AT ME!!!

Bonnie (crying2) I don't want to think about ANY OF THIS!!!

(You know this isn't about you. They need your help right now.)

(You try to approach them again--)

Bonnie (crying1) NO!!! STOP, STOP!!! DON'T COME NEAR ME!!!

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

Bonnie (crying1) If you like to talk about how everyone will die then you should just get it over with and die, Frin!!!!!! I don't care!!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!

(Your heart sinks.)

(Your stomach--)

Bonnie (crying1) I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you IhateyouIhateyouIhateyou I HAAAAATE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie (angry2) I HATE YOU, FR

Time skips back to before Siffrin spoke up.

Mirabelle (anxious1) ...What about you, Siffrin?

Siffrin (hide3) "Bury me somewhere. Can we talk about something else?"

Mirabelle (anxious1) Oh...

Isabeau (hahaaa1) Yeah, sorry, I shouldn't have--

Bonnie (serious1) ...Hey, are you done talking?

Bonnie (sulk2) Because...

Bonnie (serious1) It's snacks time, baby.

Isabeau (really1) Oh, it's a serious business snack time. I'm listening.

Bonnie (serious1) Snack times are always serious business, dummy.

The event continues with regular snack time.

"Bonnie was looking at a book...."

Loop (serious2) Yes.

Loop (serious2) They were looking at a book about burial rituals, because you all talked about what you'd all do if you died.

Loop (sad2) No wonder the Kid was upset about it.

Loop (ew1) ...

Loop (fake2) Pretty stupid of you adults to talk about that stuff where they could hear you!

Loop (fake1) No wonder the kid hates you!!!

(...)

Loop (happy1) And?

Loop (serious2) Will you do something about it? Talk to your Kid about it after, maybe?

Before doing Bonnie's Friendquest:

(You can't, you can't, you can't even think about it.)

---

After doing Bonnie's Friendquest:

(You should.)

Bonnie (sulk1) . . .

---

If you haven't done Bonnie's Friendquest:

(. . .)

(You don't know what to say to Bonnie, right now.)

(You leave Bonnie alone.)

---

If you've done Bonnie's Friendquest:

(Bonnie was listening to you all talk about burial rituals, earlier...)

(...)

Siffrin (serious1) "You know, adults are stupid."

Bonnie (sulk3) Huh...?

Siffrin (serious1) "We like to think about every possible thing that could happen..."

Siffrin (serious1) "Even though it probably won't."

Bonnie (sad1) . . .

Bonnie (sulk2) I don't know what you're talking about. I wasn't listening, earlier.

(You don't say anything.)

Bonnie (sad1) ...  But...  But what if everyone...

Siffrin (serious1) "We won't."

Bonnie (sad1) But you don't know that.

Siffrin (serious1) "I do."

Siffrin "I won't let anything happen, Bonnie."

Siffrin "I promise."

---

If you've completed Kingquest

(AND YET, YOU LET BONNIE DIE.)

(You shake your head.)

---

Bonnie . . .

Bonnie . . .  Okay.

Bonnie (sad1) ...

Bonnie (sulk2) ...I promise, too.

Bonnie (no!1) I won't let anything happen, either!

(Bonnie smiles confidently.)

• With Kingquest: (You do your best to smile back.)
• Without Kingquest: (You smile back.)

At this point, you receive the Stupid rotten adults!!! achievement.

(You got a MEMORY OF PROMISE!)

(You'll always remember this.)

[If the Kid has Memory of Promise equipped, they'll be more likely to buff everyone's stats during battle!]

"Bonnie was looking at a book..."

Loop (happy1) They were! A book about burial rituals, because you adults all talked about your death.

Loop (away1) Kids shouldn't be worrying about things like this... What a world we live in.

Loop (happy1) ...I'm glad that you got the courage to talk to them about it. It seems like it helped you both.

Loop (well2) And... You made a promise, didn't you?

Loop (teehee1) Try to keep it!

---

Before finishing Kingquest

(You'll try.)

After

(...)

(Too late for that, isn't it.)
