Everyone turns towards Siffrin.

Mirabelle (happy1) Siffrin! You're here!

Isabeau (hahaha2) We were waiting for you! Let's go inside!

Isabeau (boo1) I am SOOOOO hungry.

(You're pretty hungry yourself.)

Bonnie jumps up and down.

Bonnie (happy1) I brought back a bunch of food! Let's go, let's go!!!

Everyone starts walking into the Clocktower as the screen fades out.

Second time only

[Pst, stardust...]

(As you're about to take another samosa to munch on, you hear Loop's voice, and try not to jump.)

[Heh, sorry, sorry!]

[So, here again, huh? Don't worry, you'll get to zone out during this entire event if you want. But there is something...]

[You're able to zone through most conversations you've seen at least once, yes... But some of them might be slightly different!]

[Oh, don't stress out about it. Don't worry, if it was REALLY important, you'd stop zoning out immediately. But remember that just because you can zone out, doesn't mean the events will be exactly the same!]

[So... To zone out, and miss some small things, or to listen to it all again? What a dilemma!]

[That's all! Bye, stardust~!]

(Hm...)

(You go back to your samosa.)

---

Isabeau Phew, Bonbon...

Isabeau That was DE-LI-CIOUS!

Odile You keep getting better at cooking, Boniface. Those samosas were delicious.

Bonnie Really? It wasn't bad? You liked it?

Bonnie I-I MEAN, OF COURSE IT WAS DELICIOUS. I'm a master cooker, you know!!!

Odile Chef.

Bonnie I'm a chef cooker!!!

Mirabelle That was the perfect meal, Bonnie! We'll all sleep well tonight and be full of energy tomorrow!

Isabeau It was almost too much, to be honest... I don't think I can move...

---

First time

(Was it too much?)

(You could've eaten more...)

Isabeau Aw, Sif, are you still hungry?

Bonnie Frin, you ate a lot, huh!!! You liked my cooking a lot, huh!!!

Bonnie Here, have some more food since you're so hungry and like my cooking so much.

(Bonnie gives you one (1) carrot slice.)

(Chomp.)

Odile How can you still eat... How can such a small body eat that much...

Siffrin "I'm a growing kid."

Mirabelle A growing kid that drinks alcohol?!?

Isabeau You're older than most of the people here?!?

(You wink cutely.)

---

Second time

(You didn't eat much this time.)

(Your stomach feels weird...)

Bonnie ...You... You didn't like it?

Bonnie ...

(Wuh oh.)

Siffrin "I'm just not very hungry."

Bonnie But you're always hungry?!?

(WUH OH.)

Siffrin "I, uh, may have eaten some bread earlier."

Mirabelle Siffrin!

Odile How could you do this to poor Boniface.

Odile Look at them. They're pouting so hard they're about to explode.

Bonnie MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Bonnie KABOOM!!!!!!!

Bonnie I exploded.

Bonnie Siffrin was destroyed on impact.

Odile A beautiful explosion.

Mirabelle Siffrin... You died because of your hubris...

Siffrin (How regrettable.) "Was it just me that died?"

Bonnie Yes. You were the only casualty.

(That's fine then.)

(You still dramatically fall over for good measure.)

Siffrin "No... How could this happen..."

Mirabelle Hehehe...

---

ACT 2

(You ate all the food on your plate and more, but you're still hungry...)

(You try not to show it, though.)

---

ACT 3 & 4

(The food always tastes the same.)

(You eat anyway.)

Mirabelle Um, everyone...

Mirabelle Can I... say something?

Isabeau What's up, Mira?

Mirabelle Um...

Mirabelle We... We've all been traveling together for a while now.

Mirabelle It hasn't always been easy, but meeting you all...

Mirabelle Traveling through Vaugarde to get the Orbs needed to open the House's Gate again...

Mirabelle There's no way I could've done this alone.

Mirabelle I... I want to say thank you... For coming with me this far!

Mirabelle But tomorrow, we'll go and fight the King... Someone who has thrown Vaugarde into stillness and silence.

Mirabelle Someone who has now frozen almost all of Vaugarde in time.

Mirabelle I-I'll do my best to make sure this doesn't happen to any of you, b-but if you don't want to come, if you want to go back home, I would--

Odile Kind of late for that, Mirabelle, isn't it?

Mirabelle ... I know... I--

Isabeau And by that, m'dame Odile means that we're with you!

Odile Of course I do. We've come this far, after all.

Isabeau Did you really think we'd leave you behind? Let you go alone?

Bonnie We'll follow you, Belle!!! We'll help!!! Don't worry!!!

Siffrin We'll stay with you, Mira.

• First time: (You'd never let her go alone, after all.)
• ACT 2: (For as long as you can.)

• ACT 4: (Until the end.)

Mirabelle Oh...

Mirabelle Oh, thank you...!

  (Isabeau and Bonnie hug Mirabelle tightly, while you and Odile stand a bit apart like always.)

  (This is when the audience at a theater would say "aaaawww".)

• ACT 3 & 4

  

  (Isabeau, Bonnie and Mirabelle hug.)

  (Cue audience aw.)

  ---

  ACT 4 only

  (Odile, you understand... She'd curse them if they tried...)

  (But why do they never hug you?)

  (There must be something wrong with you, isn't there?)

Mirabelle ...Let's go to bed!

Isabeau We have a big day tomorrow!

Odile Indeed... Then, goodnight, everyone.

Bonnie G'night!!!

Isabeau Sif...

Isabeau Hey... hey Sif. Siffrin. Siffarooni.

(Isabeau is whispering your name...)

• (Turn around and listen.)

  Dialogue continues.

• Available in ACT 4: (Don't turn around and keep sleeping.)

  Isabeau ...Already asleep, huh?

  Isabeau Oh well.

  Isabeau Then maybe... It would be fine if I... Said it now...

  
  

  Isabeau ...No, no, that's not cool.

  Isabeau I'll tell them tomorrow, when we've beaten the King.

  Isabeau You really have to, Isabeau... You crabbing coward...

  Isabeau ...  Goodnight, Sif...

---

Isabeau Um...

Isabeau Sorry? To wake you up?

Isabeau I just have to tell you something.

Isabeau If that's okay.

---

First time

(He dares interrupt your beauty sleep...)

(He knows you value your sleep, so this must be important.)

---

Second time

(Again with this?)

(You didn't get to the King, so you don't know what he wants to tell you...)

---

If You Know

(...)

---

If you don't Know

(Not for the first time, you wonder about what he wants to tell you.)

(All you know is...)

(You will not learn tonight.)

---

(You nod.)

Isabeau Okay, okay, okay.

Isabeau Then I shall tell you the thing!

Isabeau The thing I woke you up to tell you!

Isabeau Haha!

Isabeau Um, okay. So.

Isabeau The thing I have to tell you

Isabeau Is

Isabeau That

• ACT 3 & 4: (Against your will, you hold your breath.)

Isabeau I  don't have anything to tell you right now.

• ACT 3 & 4: (Chicken.)

Isabeau But I will, when, uh, when we beat the King tomorrow.  Okay?

Siffrin

• "That's so ominous, Isa."

  Isabeau I-it's not meant to be???

• Available second time onward: "That's still SO ominous, Isa."

  Isabeau I-it's not meant to be???

• Available in ACT 4: "..."

  Dialogue continues.

Isabeau I, uh, just don't wanna tell you right now. It might distract you. And we wouldn't want that, right???

Isabeau So, um, I'll tell you when we beat the King.  Okay?

---

• First time

  (What could he want to tell you?)

  (It seems important to him... So the only thing you can say is...)

  
  

  Siffrin "Okay."

  
  

  Isabeau ...  Okay!

• ACT 2, before dying to the King for the first time

  (You haven't gotten to the King yet, so you still don't know what he wants to say.)

  (You're so curious. But the only thing you can say is...)

  
  

  Siffrin "Okay."

  
  

  Isabeau ...  Okay!

• ACT 2, after dying to the King for the first time

  (But you don't know if you'll ever manage to beat the King!)

  
  

  Siffrin "Can't you tell me now?"

  
  

  Isabeau Well, no, it doesn't work like that, sill--

• ACT 3 & 4

  (That's what he was trying to tell you at the end... Before you were forced to loop back...)

  (You never did hear what he had to say to you.)

  (Maybe if you went back to that time... After you beat the King... If you asked again, made sure you had no interruptions, maybe you'll be able to hear it this time.)

  (...)

  
  

  Siffrin "Okay."

  
  

  Isabeau ...  Okay!

Bonnie SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!

Mirabelle YEAH ISABEAU! SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP! CLOSE YOUR MOUTH AND SLEEP!

Isabeau YOU CLOSE YOUR MOUTH, HOUSEMAIDEN! YOU'RE GONNA WAKE UP M'DAME ODILE!

Odile I'm already up.

Odile And if the noise continues, I will stand up.

Odile You do not want to know what will happen if I stand up.

Bonnie Sorry.

Isabeau Sorry m'dame...

Mirabelle S-Sorry...

Isabeau Good night, Sif!

---

First time

(You feel safe surrounded by all your friends...)

(You fall asleep.)

---

ACT 2

(You think about how far you still have to go before beating the King.)

(You fall asleep.)

---

ACT 3

(You close your eyes.)

(You wonder if you'll be able to sleep tonight.)

---

First time in ACT 4

(...)

(You never actually rest, at the Clocktower.)

(Isabeau talks to you to say nothing, and you answer, or you don't, and you blink, and it's over.)

(You never sleep here, you just thought you did.)

(Soon, you'll close your eyes, and open them, and everyone's waking up.)

(No, everyone's ready to go.)

(No, you're all leaving.)

(No, you're at the entrance of the House, and you look up, and--)

---

Subsequent times in ACT 4

(You wait for the Universe to bring you to the entrance of the House.)

(You blink.)

The party lines up in front of the House's Gate.

(The House's Gate...)

• First time & ACT 2: (You look up at it.)
• ACT 3: (You play with the Orb.)
• ACT 4: (You clench the Orb tightly between your hands.)

Isabeau (really1) The House's Gate, huh?

Isabeau (huh1) It's bigger than I thought! So scary!

Odile (huh2) It really is locked shut. I can see space for us to put the Orbs...

Mirabelle (anxious2) This whole adventure... This whole journey...

Mirabelle (stressed1) After all this time... I can finally open it!

• First time & ACT 2

  
• ACT 3 & 4

  

Bonnie (hmf1) I have my Orb right here!

Isabeau (brag1) Let's go for it, then!

The screen flashes white. An Orb floats up to the center of the House's Gate, glowing white.

The screen flashes white again, and five Orbs now float in front of five slots on the Gate.

The screen flashes white for a third and final time, and the Orbs are gone. The Gate glows white, and slowly opens.

Siffrin leads the party into the House.

(The Clocktower.)

(You arrived later than usual.)

(Is everyone eating still?)

(You need to join them, and act normally this time, so you can all go to the House together tomorrow.)

(You don't care if they're not strong enough. You can make it on your own, defeat the King on your own.)

(You just want them here.)

Siffrin steps inside.

(You enter silently.)

(...)

(You don't hear cutlery or anything.)

(Your stomach hurts.)

(They must've eaten without you.)

(Maybe they're already sleeping.)

(But no-- You can hear them talk.)

(You get closer...)

Mirabelle ...

Mirabelle And...

Mirabelle And then I left. I couldn't... Be there anymore.

Odile ...

Isabeau Why would Sif act like this suddenly? That's not like them at all...

Odile Clearly, something happened.s

Bonnie B-But what?

Bonnie I don't understand... Why he'd do stuff like that.

Bonnie I don't understand at all!

Mirabelle Bonnie...

Isabeau ...

Odile ...

Odile Everyone.

Odile Siffrin might come back any second now...  So we need to decide what to do.

Isabeau What to do?

Mirabelle About tomorrow...?

Odile Yes.

Bonnie What do you mean?

Mirabelle Are you saying... Leave without Siffrin?

Isabeau What?!

Isabeau I-I understand how you feel, but...

Isabeau But we shouldn't leave Sif behind! H-He's the one who leads us...! We wouldn't be able to avoid traps without them!

Isabeau Plus, he's our friend! We can't leave them behind!!!

Bonnie Yeah! H-He was mean, but, but Frin was always with us, so--

Mirabelle I agree, but...  B-But would he even agree to come with us, still?

Mirabelle Maybe they won't even come back tonight...

Bonnie No, Frin will be there!!! I know it!!!

Isabeau And either way, we should wait for them, everyone... We can't...

Odile Please, listen to me.

Odile . . .

Odile I... I just... I just don't know if we can trust Siffrin anymore.

Odile Not at such an important moment.

Isabeau But--

Odile We'll be fighting the King tomorrow, Isabeau!!!

Odile It's not just a simple Sadness. It's the KING. The being who has trapped Vaugarde in time.

Odile And we need to be a team.

Odile We need to be united, we need to trust one another.

Odile ...  After what just happened to all of us today...

Odile Could you do it, everyone?

Odile Could you entrust your life and future to someone like Siffrin right now?

Mirabelle ...

Bonnie ...

Isabeau ...

(. . .)

(You)

(You decide to

A glitch and a smash cut. Siffrin now stands in front of the House's Gate.

The screen flashes white. An Orb floats up to the center of the House's Gate, glowing white.

The screen flashes white again, and five Orbs now float in front of five slots on the Gate.

The screen flashes white for a third and final time, and the Orbs are gone. The Gate glows white, and slowly opens.

Siffrin enters the House.
