After the screen turns white, the group find themselves in an unfrozen room of the House. The surroundings are brighter, and decorations are swaying in the wind, still slightly glitched.

Mirabelle (anxious2) . . .

Isabeau (fight1) . . .

Odile (serious1) . . .

Bonnie (hmf1) . . .

Mirabelle (anxious3) Did we... Do it?

Isabeau (oh1) We did it!

Bonnie (and then1) We did it!!!

Isabeau (yeah!1) Crab yeah!!!

Bonnie (UWAH1) CRAB YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Everyone turns towards Siffrin.

Isabeau (glare1) BUT YOU.

Siffrin turns towards Isabeau.

(ah)

Mirabelle (angy1) How could you say all those horrible things to us, Siffrin!

Bonnie (no!1) That wasn't cool. Not cool at all!!!

Isabeau (angry2) You were kind of a crab earlier, yeah.

Odile (gimme1) But why did you go off on your own?

Odile (dotdotdot1) Going through the entire House alone... That was foolish, Siffrin.

(but)

(they didn't)

(want you here)

(so you had to--)

Isabeau (angry2) And why were you acting so weird?

Isabeau (disappointed2) It's not like you to be mean like this...

Bonnie (wait1) You didn't mean it, right? You were mad about something?

Bonnie (no!1) Something happened before you talked to us, it had to or you wouldn't-- Wouldn't have said all that, right?

Mirabelle (stressed2) Right, Siffrin?

Odile (worried2) ...

Isabeau (disappointed1) ...

Isabeau (worried2) Um... Sif?

Bonnie (wait1) Frin, are you listening?

Odile (awkward1) Siffrin? Anyone there?

(you can't  stand up)

(your legs)

Siffrin falls to the ground.

Isabeau (worried2) Sif?!?

Odile (no!1) Siffrin!

The party moves to surround Siffrin. Mirabelle kneels in front of them.

Bonnie (no!2) What's wrong, do you feel sick?!

Mirabelle (anxious3) Siffrin, let me help you up...   Huh?

(cold)

Mirabelle (anxious2) Siffrin, your skin feels so warm... What's wrong?

Odile (guilty1) ...He's burning up. What happened?

Bonnie (no!2) Is Frin sick?

Isabeau (angry2) Sif went up the entire House on their own, right? It'd make sense for them to be woozy...

Mirabelle stands up.

Mirabelle (anxious1) We had a lot of trouble, even with Loop's help... I can't imagine doing it alone.

(loop?)

(    loop,)

Odile (gimme1) Oh, your friend, Loop? I think you two know each other, somehow...

Bonnie (stop!1) We met them earlier!!!

Bonnie (hmf1) We were looking for you so we could talk to you, but we couldn't find you anywhere, and no one knew where you went--

Bonnie (and then1) And so we ended up at the Favor Tree, and Za asked it to help us find you, and then this weird star appeared.

Bonnie (no!1) They told us they were a star and that's why they were spiky and glowy!

Odile (dotdotdot2) They helped us find you. We couldn't have made it here without your help.

Isabeau (wonder2) They made us do a weird hand symbol so we could hear them as we went up.

Bonnie (and then1) It was sooooooo cool!!!

Mirabelle (anxious3) But we could hear them less and less as we went up... I can't hear them at all, now.

(loop)

(helped,)

Odile (guilty1) But for you to go through the entire House alone...

Odile (dotdotdot2) We barely saw any Sadnesses, but it was still a struggle.

Mirabelle (anxious2) And the House felt very weird, when we were coming up...

Bonnie (oh!1) We saw weird stuff! Like you were walking around but not really, and rooms were repeating and leading us weird places!

Odile (guilty1) It did all feel very... Off.

Odile (guilty1) Moreso than I was expecting, even with the King taking over...

Isabeau (hahaaa1) It felt very end-of-the-world-ish, huh?

Mirabelle (awkward1) Haha...

Mirabelle (anxious1) Please don't say things like that, please.

(it wasn't)

(just you?)

(what,)

Isabeau (angry2) The House felt almost unsettling, too... I suppose it's better now, but then, why. . .

Mirabelle (sad1) . . .

Odile (dotdotdot2) It doesn't matter.

Odile (gimme1) The Head Housemaiden should be up ahead, yes?

Mirabelle (stressed1) Y-Yes! We should get Siffrin to her... She might be able to help!

Isabeau (angry1) And she might be able to tell us what's happening, too.

Everyone turns to face forward. Mirabelle starts walking towards the Head Housemaiden.

Mirabelle (angy1) I-I'll go on ahead and let her know!!!

Isabeau turns towards Siffrin.

Isabeau (sad4) Let's go, Sif...

Isabeau (worried2) Can you walk, Sif...?

Odile (guilty1) ...

Bonnie (sad1) ...Are you okay, Frin...?

(King)

Bonnie (surprised1) Smaller...

Isabeau (hahaaa1) Smaller...

Bonnie (serious1) He got smaller.

Odile (reading1) He sure did.

Bonnie (surprised1) ...

Bonnie (serious1) Why is he smaller?

Isabeau (wonder2) Maybe...   Since he was so powerful, he was filled with Craft, which allowed him to change his size...

Isabeau (brag1) And now that he's frozen, the Craft escaped, and now he's smaller.

Bonnie (oh!1) Like a balloon?

Odile (lol3) Like a balloon.

Bonnie (surprised1) Huh...

(hahaha)

(oh no, laughing, hurts,)

Odile (guilty1) ...

Isabeau (um1) ...

Bonnie (sad1) ...

(pchoooo)

(it's what he wanted)

(save)

• (yes)

  The screen fades out, and you are taken to the save screen.

• (no)

  Text ends here.

Odile (doubt1) You won't be going any farther, young one.

(can't escape)

The party enters the hallway, where Mirabelle is waiting.

Mirabelle (angy1) Everyone!

Mirabelle (stressed2) The Head Housemaiden is just ahead...

Mirabelle starts moving forward.

Mirabelle (stressed1) I'm sure she'll be able to heal you, Siffrin! So just-- Just come!

Isabeau turns to Siffrin.

Isabeau (hm4) Ready...?

(you take a step forward)

The screen turns black. A thump noise can be heard.

Isabeau (shock1) Woah, Sif!!!

(isabeau caught you)

Isabeau (surprised1) Hey, hey...

As the screen fades in, Isabeau moves to put an arm around Siffrin's shoulders, supporting him so he doesn't fall over.

Isabeau (sad5) ...   I got you, Sif.

(always at your side)

(...)

Mirabelle looks around, then turns to the rest of the group.

Mirabelle (serious3) The House feels off here too... I thought it would've gone back to normal after we beat the King...

Odile (guilty1) And there's this feeling of pressure, now, too...

Bonnie jumps up and down for emphasis.

Bonnie (stop!1) And it smells weird now still!!!

Bonnie (sulk1) Like sugar. Cavity-giving-sugar.

Isabeau (angry2) It all feels... A little worrying, doesn't it?

Mirabelle (worried1) ...I'm worried... I hope everyone is okay...

Isabeau (huhwah1) Wait, look here!

Odile ...

Mirabelle What...

Bonnie Well, that's not good.

Isabeau What's that shade...?

Isabeau It's not dark, or light, or anything... It's just...

Odile . . .

Odile We need to get to the Head Housemaiden as fast as possible.

A ghost of Mal du Pays becomes visible in the distance.

(!!!!!!)

The ghost fades away.

Mirabelle turns towards Siffrin.

Mirabelle (oh!1) ?

Isabeau (hm4) Sif?

Odile and Bonnie turn towards Siffrin as well.

Odile (dotdotdot1) Siffrin? What's wrong?

Odile (guilty2) ...You still look so pale...

Odile (guilty1) Are you running a fever?

Isabeau (angry2) He still feels super warm, Odile.

Odile (guilty1) Hm...

(her hand is on your brow)

(feels cold)

(feels nice)

Odile (dotdotdot2) . . .

Mirabelle (stressed2) Madame...?

Odile (dotdotdot2) Let's just get going.

As the party continues walking, a translucent ghost of Mal du Pays follows at a distance.

With a click, the screen goes completely black.

Siffrin (!!!!!!) "EVERYONE...?!"

Siffrin "NO NO NO NO NO NO--"

Mirabelle (worried1) Siffrin?

With another click, the screen goes back to normal.

Mirabelle (worried1) Siffrin, is everything okay...?

Isabeau (huh1) Woah! You're shaking...

Bonnie (no!2) Do you get vertigo like Dile, Frin?

Odile (guilty1) You look exhausted... I'm sorry, just a little bit to go.

Bonnie (hmf3) Hm... If Frin's afraid of heights too...

Bonnie (hmf1) Do you wanna hold hands, Frin?

• (yes)

  (bonnie takes your hand)

  (sticky)

  
  

  Bonnie (and then1) Okay, don't look down! Look at me!

  
  

  (don't look down look at bonnie)

• (no no no no no no it's fine)

  Bonnie (serious1) ...

  
  

  Bonnie (happy2) Yeah you do.

  
  

  (busted)

  
  

  Bonnie takes Siffrin's hand.

  
  

  Bonnie (and then1) Let's go, let's go!

The Mal du Pays ghost has disappeared.

Mirabelle turns towards Siffrin.

Mirabelle (anxious2) I-It's only a bit longer, Siffrin...

Mirabelle (stressed1) The Head Housemaiden is right ahead!

"mira"

Mirabelle (uwah!1) !!!

Mirabelle (anxious2) Um, yes?

"i'm sorry... for what i said..."

"and for not... talking... to anyone..."

Isabeau (sad3) ...

Odile (guilty1) ...

Bonnie (sad1) ...

Mirabelle (sad2) . . .

Mirabelle (angy1) Th-There'll be time for that later, Siffrin!

Mirabelle (anxious2) Let's just go!

(...)

The screen fades to black.

This leads directly into the Last Room.

The last room fades in. The window at the end of the room shows an inverted, glitched view of the outside world. A massive red crack snakes through the sky.

Mirabelle runs up to the Head Housemaiden. Odile and Bonnie stop a few feet back a couple of seconds later. Isabeau slowly helps Siffrin forwards to stand in line with them.

Mirabelle (angy1) HEAD HOUSEMAIDEN!!!

Euphrasie (mirabelle1) Mirabelle...!

Euphrasie (sorry2) Mirabelle, oh, dear one...

Euphrasie (thankyou1) I'm so proud of you! Look at you! The savior of Vau--

Mirabelle (angy1) No time for that, Euphrasie!

Mirabelle (anxious3) Our friend-- Siffrin--

Odile (dotdotdot2) We have someone we need you to take a look at.

Isabeau (hm4) And also the world outside looks like it's ending so if you could help with that too that'd be great.

Bonnie (no!1) Help us!!!

Euphrasie (oh1) Oh, oh, oh, alright!

The screen fades out. When it fades back in, the party and Euphraie are clustered around Siffrin, who sits on the ground.

Euphrasie (smiling2) Hm...

Euphrasie (smiling4) Well, he sure is running a fever!

Euphrasie (oh1) Those symptoms... I would say they've been using Crafts too much, maybe?

Odile (dotdotdot2) Using Crafts too much...?

Euphrasie (sorry1) I think so! Maybe they've used too many Crafts at a time without taking time to rest, or without cooling down for as long as they needed!

(no time to cool down)

(had to go)

Mirabelle (anxious2) Does that sort of thing usually give someone a fever, though? I've never heard that before...

Isabeau (wonder1) I've heard about it before... It doesn't happen often, that's for sure!

Isabeau (angry2) You would need to Craft, like... an IMMENSE amount, for long periods of time.

Bonnie (surprised1) Like Crafting a painting for weeks at a time?

Odile (dotdotdot2) Or...

Mirabelle turns towards the group.

Mirabelle (awkward2) Or going through an entire House, fighting against Sadnesses and a King for hours?

Euphrasie (smiling3) Or that, yes!

(or)

(making sure)

(you live)

Euphrasie (oh1) But he'll be fine, now that the battle is over.

Euphrasie (smiling3) I promise!

Isabeau (angry3) Okay, but--

Bonnie turns to the Head Housemaiden.

Bonnie (sulk2) But do you super promise?

Euphrasie (smiling3) Yes, I super promise!

Bonnie (serious1) And do you super duper promise?

Euphrasie (oh1) Oh my!

Euphrasie (smiling4) Yes, I super duper promise!

Euphrasie (smiling2) They just need some rest.

Bonnie turns back to Siffrin.

(head hurts)

(so hungry)

Odile (dotdotdot2) Okay... Well, that's something at least.

Odile (gimme1) And what about the world outside?

Euphrasie (oh1) Oh, well...

Euphrasie (sorry2) I...   I don't know, but... I can feel everything around us so strongly, and it feels... Wrong.

Euphrasie (sorry2) Every time I've tried to reach out and feel what's happening, I sense... Chaos...

Euphrasie (mirabelle1) It feels like something is...   Rotting...

Mirabelle turns to the Head Housemaiden.

Mirabelle (anxious2) ...?

Everyone turns towards the Head Housemaiden.

Isabeau (hm4) Rotting...?

Euphrasie (ending1) I know you thought your quest was over, but it can't be!

Euphrasie (ending1) Something's broken, something's failing, rotting--

The screen glitches.

Euphrasie (ending1) But I am so glad to see you all safe!

Bonnie (wait1) Huh?

Isabeau (um1) Um... What?

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Traveling one!

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Traveling one!

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Traveling one!

Euphrasie (smiling4) Are you done talking with your companions? Yes, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Mirabelle (anxious3) Euphrasie... A-Are you okay?

Odile (fight1) Mirabelle, step back.

Isabeau (fight1) She's... Repeating, just like some of the rooms we went through...

Mirabelle (no!2) What's happening to the world...

Mirabelle (no!1) Is it happening to her, too?!

(the same)

(why why why why why why why)

(you didn't beat the king on your own you didn't fix anything and they hate you and you're still stuck here)

(you're still   stuck here)

(but isn't it fine?)

(eternity   is within your grasp)

Euphrasie (mirabelle1) And y y you, Mirabelle's companions... Th ank you for helping her get th i s far.

Euphrasie (thankyou1) You have my gratitude, and the entire country of Vaugarde's...!

Isabeau (angry3) Hey, m'dame Head Housemaiden... Can you hear us?

Bonnie (ew1) She's scary...

Euphrasie (ending3) Hohoho!

Euphrasie (smiling2) ...   Soon, you'll be able to go back to your normal lives. Away from battle and strife.

Euphrasie (smiling4) Finally, you'll all be able to go home!!!

Odile (dotdotdot2) Uh huh...

Isabeau (hahaaa1) Yeah, yeah, sure.

(home)

(home?)

(they'll go home?)

(they'll go home  they'll go home  they'll go home they'll go home they'll go home they'll go home they'll go home they'll go home they'll go home they'll go home they'll gohomethey'llgohomethey'llgohomethey'llgohomethey'llgohomethey'llgohome)

The screen turns black.

"NO!!!!!!"

The screen goes back to normal.

Bonnie turns to Siffrin.

Bonnie (no!2) Frin?

Odile (no!1) Siffrin, what's--

The screen turns bright red.

(THEY CANNOT GO HOME!!!!!!)

As the red disappears, the screen is darkened, leaving only Siffrin in the spotlight.

They rise into the air, glowing black and hovering in place. Everyone else hastily steps back. The Head Housemaiden looks horrified.

Isabeau (worried1) SIF?!?

Mirabelle (no!1) SIFFRIN!!!

Bonnie (crying3) WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?

Odile (no!1) EVERYONE, BE CAREFUL!!!

(I WON'T LET YOU GO HOME.)
