Everybody lines up facing the statue.

(Their face obscured, Their silhouette shrouded, Their expression hidden...)

(An intact statue of the Change God stands before you.)

Mirabelle (sad2) ...

Isabeau (hm3) ...

Bonnie (sad2) ...

Odile (dotdotdot2) ...

(Everyone is lost in thought... Most likely sending their wishes to the Change God.)

(Join them?)

  Unused

  Based on the name of the unused variable, it probably would have played after but then who was phone???.

  
  

  (You thank the Change God for always giving you the KeyKnife.)

• (No.)

  ACT 2 & 3

  (Nothing to wish for.)

  
  

  ACT 4

  (Not yours, not yours, not yours.)

  
  

  Isabeau turns to Siffrin.

  
  

  Isabeau (angry2) ...?

  
  

  (He's looking at your clenched fists.)

  
  

  (You  relax, and flash him an embarrassed smile.)

  
  

  Isabeau (hm4) ...Sif, are you--

There's a flash of light.

First time

(Wuh?)

(You're holding something...)

(You're holding the KEYKNIFE! (??????))

Subsequent times

(You found the KEYKNIFE!)

Mirabelle (awawa1) Siffrin??? Wh-what are you holding there???

Bonnie (and then1) A KNIFE!!!!!!!!!!

Isabeau (huhwah1) Did, did the Change God give it to us???

Odile (uwah!1) Huh??? No, it can't--

Mirabelle (awawa1) I think th-they did!!! With it, we can--

The screen turns white.

Mirabelle (angy1) WAH!!!!!

The party have been teleported to the first room of Floor 3. They all look around, confused.

Odile (uwah!1) What the--

Isabeau (huhwah1) That's... Floor 3's entrance???

Bonnie (yeah!1) The Change God beamed us there!!!

Odile (uwah!1) That's...

Odile (urgh1) . . .

Bonnie (hmf2) . . .

Mirabelle (worried1) . . .

Isabeau (brag1) Well, at least we don't have to backtrack. I'm not gonna ask questions.

Mirabelle (awawa1) Th-thank you Change God for this boon!!!

Isabeau (brag1) Thanks Change God!

Bonnie (and then1) Thank you!!!

(You and Odile look at each other, and shrug.)

Odile (gimme1) Thank you Change God, or Expressions, or whichever deity gave us this knife.

• ACT 2 & 3: Siffrin (awkward1)
• ACT 4: Siffrin (hide1)

• ACT 2: "Thank you?" / ACT 3: "Thank you."
• "..."

  (You don't want to say thanks to it aloud.)

(The gate stands in front of you.)

Bonnie (sad1) . . .You know, I was wondering...

Bonnie (sulk2) Like, the King clearly closed this door, and put the Tears in our way...

Bonnie (sad1) But the... But the locked doors, weren't they...

Mirabelle (sad2) ...

Odile (dotdotdot2) Yes... We were wrong.

Odile (dotdotdot1) They were most likely locked by residents of the House.

Isabeau (hm5) When the House was attacked, no one knew what the King's powers were...

Isabeau (hm5) So they must've thought locking him in would have been enough to stop him.

Isabeau (sad2) But by that time he'd already made sure Vaugarde would start slowly freezing in time...

Mirabelle (sad2) So... People in the House... Were trying to save Vaugarde, at the risk of their own lives...

Mirabelle (sad3) But it was all for nothing!!!

Odile (guilty1) It did get in our way more than anything else. But there's no way they could've known...

Mirabelle (sad3) ...They tried, and yet the King...

Without friendquests done this loop

Mirabelle (sad3) This... This once-changed King!!! I'll... I'll--!!!

Bonnie (sad2) Belle...

Odile (dotdotdot2) We should get going.

Odile (lol2) I'm predicting there will be a strong Sadness in the next room for you to cut into ribbons, Mirabelle.

Mirabelle (sad2) ...  Okay.

With friendquests done this loop

Mirabelle (sad2) ...

Mirabelle (serious1) Let's get going, everyone.

(...)

(You get ready, and slice the door.)

(The KeyKnife broke on impact.)

(Maybe it wasn't sharpened enough...?)

(That's too bad... You're sure you could've found a use for it elsewhere.)

(But at least the gate is opened.)

"Do you know how to fix a knife?"

Loop (teehee1) Oh, are you thinking about fixing up the KeyKnife? Smart, smart.

Loop (hm1) I mean, don't you sharpen your own dagger? How do you do it?

Siffrin (neutral1) "Sharpening stone."

Loop (hmmm1) And... Where is it?

Siffrin (okay2)

• ACT 2: "Bonnie used it as a skipping stone a week ago."

  Loop (lol5) Ha!

• ACT 3 & 4: "Forgot."

  Loop (happy1) ...

Loop (hm1) But then you don't have yours, huh.

Loop (teehee2) So just find one somewhere else!

(Hm...)

Forgetting what it's called

Guaranteed first time, then a 1 in 3 chance

(...Hm...)

(A big steel thing with a stone on it and an oven for weapons. Those things have a name but you can't remember what it is.)

Odile (hm1) ...It's a forge and that's an anvil, Siffrin.

Isabeau (brag1) And the stone is a sharpening stone!

ACT 2

(OH YEAH...)

ACT 3 & 4

(Oh.)

Remembering what it's called

(An anvil, sharpening stone, and forge.)

While trying to sharpen the KeyKnife

Can play after either previous text

First time

(...Sharpening stone! For the KeyKnife!!!)

Subsequent times

(Ah, then...)

(You pick it up.)

(You got the SHARPENING STONE!)

(You put the stone in your pocket along with your Souvenirs.)

First time

(You should be able to sharpen the KeyKnife now... When you get it back, that is.)

(Sharpening stone, apply to KeyKnife.)

(You try and focus on sharpening the knife...)

(. . .)

(...It doesn't seem to be getting sharper.)

Isabeau (wonder2) Huh? Is that how you sharpen knives now, Sif?

Siffrin (surprised1) (Huh?) What do you mean?

Isabeau (neutral1) I dunno! Feels like you usually say something when you sharpen your dagger.

(Do you?)

(You can't remember.)

Odile (dotdotdot2) Yes, something's missing...

Mirabelle (thinking1) Doesn't Siffrin talk usually?

Bonnie (and then1) They do!!! They mumble when they make things!!!

Bonnie (serious1) Like, "mumble mumble mumble".

Mirabelle (haha1) A few weeks ago, you were carving a little wooden Odile, remember? And you were saying...

Mirabelle (hm1) ...Something? I can't remember.

Isabeau (wonder2) Hm... Can't remember either...

Odile (urgh1) Are we as forgetful as Siffrin now? This doesn't bode well...

Bonnie (lol1) If I saw a piece of carving wood or some carving stuff I'd remember.

Isabeau (brag1) Heheh, yeah!

(Could it be that easy?)

(Hm, carving, carving... Where can you find carving tools or something...)

(Gotta find carving wood, if only so you can remember what the stars you mumble when you're carving stuff.)

"Do you know how to fix a knife?"

Loop (lol5) Still trying to sharpen that KeyKnife, huh?

Loop (hm1) Using the sharpening stone you found on Floor 1 didn't do the trick...

Loop (hmmm1) But when you tried, your party said you were doing it differently that you usually do? What do they mean?

Loop (teehee2) They said you usually mumble something when you sharpen your dagger, or carve wood.

Loop (hm1) They might remember how you usually do things if they saw wood carving tools, wouldn't they? I wonder where you could find some...

(Some carving wood.)

ACT 2

(Looks like someone liked to carve during their break...)

(You wonder where your own carving tools went.)

ACT 3 & 4

(You haven't tried carving wood in forever.)

(Everyone mentioned you usually mumble when you sharpen your dagger, or carve wood...)

(Will you be able to sharpen the KeyKnife, if you remember how you usually do it?)

(You pick up the carving wood, looking at it from all angles, trying to remember--)

Isabeau (fufufu1) Heheh...

Mirabelle (happy1) "Please don't look bad please don't look bad please don't look bad"...

Siffrin (awkward1) (???) "What?"

Mirabelle (happy2) Oh, you don't remember?

Isabeau (brag1) That's what you were saying! Last time you were carving something!

Mirabelle (haha1) You were carving a little Odile, and Odile said that if it looked bad...

Bonnie (lol2) ...She'd ask me to cover your dinner with potatoes!

Mirabelle (happy1) So you were mumbling "please don't look bad" the whole time!

Odile (lol2) You usually mumble things like this under your breath when you carve or sharpen your dagger or do something similar.

Isabeau (brag1) "Please have symmetrical eyes..."

Mirabelle (excited1) "Please look at least a little bit like a wolf..."

Bonnie (lmao1) "Please don't stab me in the hand while I carve!!!"

Odile (lol2) Feels like you're talking to whatever you're making, or to your tools. Did you never realize you were doing it?

(Do you really do this...)

(How embarrassing.)

Mirabelle (excited1) It's cute, Siffrin!

Mirabelle (happy1) And also when you do mumble, whatever you're carving does look really nice.

Bonnie (lol1) It's when you're not mumbling that your stuff looks awful.

(Huh...)

(Well. Sounds like you should try this sharpening thing again.)

(Sharpening stone, apply to KeyKnife.)

First time

(You take the KeyKnife and sharpening stone, and mumble repeatedly the first thing that comes to mind...)

Subsequent times

(You take the KeyKnife and sharpening stone, and mumble repeatedly...)

"Please be sharp, please be sharp, please be sharp."

Isabeau (fufufu1) Please be sharp,

Mirabelle (excited1) Please be sharp,

Bonnie (yeah!2) Please be sharp!!!

Odile (lol2) Well, it's sharp now.

First time only

(Woohoo!)

(You got the KNIFEKEY!)

(You put the Knifekey in your pocket to equip later.)

[Woohoo, you did it!]

[You are now the proud owner of a KnifeKey, a knife that can cut anything, ESPECIALLY the King.]

[Yes, you heard that correctly! When the KnifeKey is equipped, your ATTACK will be boosted when fighting against the King! Isn't that grand!!!]

[One thing though... This weapon isn't like the others. You can only equip it when you make it, which means you'll have to pick up the KeyKnife and sharpen it every time.]

[It's an important item, after all! You can't just HAVE it!!!]

[Unless...]

(You got a MEMORY OF KNIFEKEY!)

(You'll always remember this.)

[If you equip this memory, and loop back to the King, you will automatically have the KnifeKey equipped!!!]

[That's it, stardust! Bye!!!]

Subsequent times

(You got the KNIFEKEY!)

(You put the Knifekey in your pocket to equip later.)

"Do you know how to fix a knife?"

Loop (lol5) You know how to sharpen the KeyKnife now!

Loop (teehee3) Find the sharpening stone on Floor 1, find the KeyKnife on Floor 3, apply stone to KeyKnife.

Loop (oh my1) It'll probably make battling the King easier, now!

(The KnifeKey glows...)

(Your attacks will hit harder against the King[!/.])
