Euphrasie End Talk

Source: Map020 (LastRoom)

All dialogue for talking to the Head Housemaiden in the last room.


Index


Talking to her first

Dialogue when talking to Euphrasie before you've finished talking to everybody else. You only get new dialogue the first time you try to talk to her in any given loop.

Subsequent times in the same loop, she boots straight to generic dialogue. TLDR: it takes five loops to get all of this dialogue.

There are portrait changes for repeating these, implying they used to all play in sequence. They don't, so these changes go unused.


Start

This dialogue always occurs, no matter how often it's been. At the end of this is when Siffrin's responses change for new dialogue. Imagine this bit in front of all the other dialogues.

The very first time you talk to Euphrasie, there's no additional dialogue after this.


Euphrasie (smiling3) Oh, traveling one... Siffrin, was it?

Euphrasie (smiling1) I cannot thank you enough for what you've done.

Euphrasie (thankyou1) I'm sure you and your companions have a lot to talk about... Why don't you talk to them, and come back to me?

Euphrasie (smiling4) I'd love to have a conversation with one of Vaugarde's saviors, after all!



Second time

Siffrin (what1) "But I'd like to talk to you now--"

Euphrasie (sorry1) Now? But you and your friends had such a wonderful journey together!

Euphrasie (smiling3) And it's about to end! You should go and talk to them!

Euphrasie (smiling1) Don't worry about me! I'll be right here for when you're done talking to them!



Third time

Siffrin (what1) "I have to talk to you about--"

Euphrasie (smiling3) Tut tut tut!

Euphrasie (smiling1) This can wait, can't it? I'm sure you and your friends have a lot to talk about, and so little time left to do so!

Euphrasie (smiling4) Go on, go on!



Fourth time

Siffrin (tired2) "But you might know something about--"

Euphrasie (smiling4) Ohohoho!

Euphrasie (smiling4) Sorry, I know nothing until you talk to your friends!

Euphrasie (smiling3) And quite honestly, it is a little funny to see you get steamed about this, ohoho!


(You want to cry.)



Fifth time

Siffrin (tired1) "Can you PLEASE talk to me?"

Euphrasie (smiling2) ...

Euphrasie (sorry3) . . .

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Traveling one... Siffrin... Can't you feel it?


(Huh?)


Euphrasie (thankyou1) If you talk to me... REALLY talk to me...

Euphrasie (sorry1) It's all over.

Euphrasie (sorry2) What "it" is, I have no idea...

Euphrasie (sorry1) I know... I can feel that... I couldn't change whatever comes next, even if I wanted to.

Euphrasie (smiling3) But I know it is the will of the Change God.

Euphrasie (sorry3) Or, no, perhaps... The will of something even bigger...

Euphrasie (sorry2) . . .

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Something will end, once you talk to me.

Euphrasie (smiling3) But before this "something" ends... Don't you want to talk to your companions?

Euphrasie (smiling1) So go! Go! Go and talk to everyone!!!



Sixth time onwards

(...)



Generic

When you talk to her a second time (or more) in one loop.


Euphrasie (smiling1) Go on and talk to your companions!

Euphrasie (smiling4) I shall wait right in this very spot!



Talking to her last

Regular

Despite all being the same scene with varying points, they are presented separately for ease of reading.

Note: The game actually cuts to the game over screen faster in later acts.



Choice

Talking to Euphrasie after talking to all party members first. This ends the loop and boots Siffrin back to the meadow.

From ACT 3 onwards, after reaching the end 4 or more times, the option to stall becomes available.


  • ACT 3: (It's all over if you talk to her.)
  • ACT 4: (IT'S ALL OVER IF YOU TALK TO HER.)

  • (Talk to her.)

    (This is the end.)

  • (Just a little longer...)

    (Just a little longer...)

    (Just a moment longer, a minute, a second longer...)

    (Before the curtain falls.)



Start

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Traveling one!

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

Euphrasie (smiling1) I'd like to thank you for accompanying young Mirabelle this far. I'm very grateful.

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Siffrin, yes? If there's anything I can do to thank you, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Euphrasie (thankyou1) I know you will go back on your travels soon, but I do hope you'll keep in touch, if only for young Mirabelle...



First time

Euphrasie (sorry2) But no matter what, know that Dormont will always be open to you! Please come back... any... time...


The screen glitches, then grows fuzzy with static. The music slows down.

It darkens around Siffrin, leaving only them in the spotlight.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) ...!!!!!

Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...

Siffrin (surprised1) "...?"

Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh...   Siffrin...!

Euphrasie (ending1) I'm so sorry!   There's no way we can stop it now...!


The screen glitches again.


Euphrasie (ending2) I'm sorry! You'll be going back! Back when everything started!


(...!)

(The air around you feels weird...)

(You taste burnt sugar in the back of your throat.)


Siffrin (what3) "What do you mean? What's happening?!?"


Another glitch. The music slows down even further.


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

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

Euphrasie (ending2) I can't fix it on my own, not before it all ends... If only I had noticed sooner!!!

Euphrasie (ending1) I should've seen it, prevented it!!!


(You feel a tug on your stomach.)


Another glitch.


Euphrasie (ending2) It's my fault that you have to suffer like this.

Euphrasie (ending3) I just hope that one day...


More glitches.

The screen glitches black. The game over screen appears briefly, until Siffrin is torn away after a split second.

The game over text reads: (YOU FEEL A TUG ON YOUR STOMACH.)

Second time

(It's the same so far...)

(You should ask her something, quickly, in case the loops restarts on its own again.)

(Something like...)


Siffrin (angry3) "You said something was broken, what was it?"

Euphrasie (sorry1) Broken...? What do you...


The screen glitches, then grows fuzzy with static. The music slows down.

It darkens around Siffrin, leaving only them in the spotlight.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) ...!!!!!

Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...


(...)

(Huh...? Something's weird...)

(Is... Is she...)


Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Siffrin...!

Euphrasie (ending1) I'm so sorry! There's no way we can stop it now...!


The screen glitches again.


Euphrasie (ending2) I'm sorry! You'll be going back! Back when everything started!


(You inhale sharply, almost choking on the smell of burnt sugar around you.)

(Stars, no, no, no, no, no...)

(She is. You're not imagining it.)


(She's repeating the exact same thing as the first time...!!!)


Siffrin (yelling2b) "Don't just repeat it, say something...!!!"


Another glitch. The music slows down even further.


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

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

Euphrasie (ending2) I can't fix it on my own, not before it all ends... If only I had noticed sooner!!!

Euphrasie (ending1) I should've seen it, prevented it!!!


(No, no, no, she could've answered your questions, why?!?)

(Even though you asked for something different at the start of this conversation...)

(WHY IS SHE REPEATING THE EXACT SAME THING?!?)


Siffrin (yelling4) "JUST TALK TO ME!!!"


(You feel a tug on your stomach.)


Another glitch.


Euphrasie (ending2) It's my fault that you have to suffer like this.

Euphrasie (ending3) I just hope that one day...

The game over text reads, at random:

  • (You got to the end.)


Third time

(Same as usual, it seems...)

(Maybe if you start with something else, still? Surprise her somehow?)


Siffrin (tired1) "Will you repeat the same lines again?"

Euphrasie (sorry1) The same lines...? What do you...


The screen glitches, then grows fuzzy with static. The music slows down.

It darkens around Siffrin, leaving only them in the spotlight.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) ...!!!!!

Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...


(Didn't work.)

(She said something slightly different here, but then went right back to her script...)

(...)


Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Siffrin...!

The screen glitches again.


Euphrasie (ending2) I'm sorry! You'll be going back! Back when everything started!

Siffrin (tired1) "I know. Do you have anything new to say?"


Another glitch. The music slows down even further.


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

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

Euphrasie (ending2) I can't fix it on my own, not before it all ends... If only I had noticed sooner!!!

Euphrasie (ending1) I should've seen it, prevented it!!!


(She didn't deviate from her script even once.)

(It seems... She really will... Repeat the exact same thing every time...)

Fourth time

Siffrin (tired1) "Do you even see me?"

Siffrin (tired1) "Am I real to you, right now?"

Euphrasie (sorry1) Real...? What do you...


The screen glitches, then grows fuzzy with static. The music slows down.

It darkens around Siffrin, leaving only them in the spotlight.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) ...!!!!!

Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...


(You sigh.)

(It's fine.)

(She isn't real to you right now, either.)

(You wait for her to finish.)


Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Siffrin...!

Euphrasie (ending1) I'm so sorry! There's no way we can stop it now...!


The screen glitches again.


Euphrasie (ending2) I'm sorry! You'll be going back! Back when everything started!


(The smell of burnt sugar, again.)

(It's been following you for a while, for so long you can't even remember when it started, but when you talk to her, it's overpowering.)

(So overpowering you could throw up.)


Another glitch. The music slows down even further.


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

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

Euphrasie (ending2) I can't fix it on my own, not before it all ends... If only I had noticed sooner!!!

Euphrasie (ending1) I should've seen it, prevented it!!!


(Like every time you're about to loop back in time, you feel a tug on your stomach.)

(You usually don't pay attention to the tug, but there's nothing else to focus on, right now.)

(You wonder what that's all about.)


(Any second now.)


Another glitch.


Euphrasie (ending2) It's my fault that you have to suffer like this.

Euphrasie (ending3) I just hope that one day...

Fifth time onwards

Regular

Siffrin (fake1) "Hi."

Siffrin (fake1) "You can start breaking down now."

Euphrasie (sorry1) Breaking down...? What do you...


With the Bright Flower in your inventory

Siffrin (fake1) "Hi."

Siffrin (fake1) "I have a flower for you."

Euphrasie (sorry1) A flower? But...



The screen glitches, then grows fuzzy with static. The music slows down.

It darkens around Siffrin, leaving only them in the spotlight.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) ...!!!!!

Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...


Regular

(You know the script by heart, now.)

("Oh, Siffrin...")


With the Bright Flower in your inventory

Siffrin (tired2) "Not a fan of flowers, huh..."


Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Siffrin...!

Euphrasie (ending1) I'm so sorry! There's no way we can stop it now...!


The screen glitches again.


Euphrasie (ending2) I'm sorry! You'll be going back! Back when everything started!


(Burnt sugar, right on cue.)

("I know you thought...")


Another glitch. The music slows down even further.


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

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

Euphrasie (ending2) I can't fix it on my own, not before it all ends... If only I had noticed sooner!!!

Euphrasie (ending1) I should've seen it, prevented it!!!


(You feel a tug on your stomach.)

(Three lines left.)


Another glitch.

Friendquest variant

Version of the ending with all Friendquests completed in the same loop.


First time

Regular

(The Head Housemaiden...)

(If everyone is saying something different now, if everyone is talking to you, really seeing you...)

(Then... Wouldn't the Head Housemaiden say something different now, too?)

(If things changed before, can't they change now?!)

(Maybe, maybe...!!!)


If this is the second time ever talking to Euphrasie

(The Head Housemaiden...)

(Last time, she said the loop was broken... And you looped back, for no reason you can tell.)

(But now that you're here with your family, it has to change, doesn't it?)

(Time might not loop again, because you're loved!)

(You should talk to her, quickly, before the loop restarts on its own again!)


Siffrin (happy1) "Hello!!!"

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Traveling one!

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


Regular

(Oh.)


Second ever time

(. . .)

(Wait, isn't she saying the same things as last time...?)


Euphrasie (smiling1) I'd like to thank you for accompanying young Mirabelle this far. I'm very grateful.

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Siffrin, yes? If there's anything I can do to thank you, please don't hesitate to let me know!


Regular

(Oh.)


Second ever time

(Oh stars, no.)

(She's saying the exact same thing she did last time...!!!)


Euphrasie (thankyou1) I know you will go back on your travels soon, but I do hope--


Regular

(Ah, aaaah, of course.)

(Of course.)

(Stupid.)


Second ever time

(No, no, it should've been different, shouldn't it?!?)

(You said something different, this time!!! You're with your family, and they love you, this time!!!)

(So... So then...)

(WHY IS SHE REPEATING THE EXACT SAME THING?!?)


Euphrasie (sorry2) But no matter what, know that Dormont will always be open to you! Please come back... any... time...


The screen glitches.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) ...!!!!!


The screen darkens with static, leaving only Siffrin in the spotlight.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...


Regular

(Hahahaha...)


Second ever time

(You breathe,  you breathe,  you breathe.)


(Power of friendship, huh?)

(Why would whatever happened before change anything now?)

(Because you're loved now, you were safe? Is that what you thought?)

(Stupid, stupid,  stupid.)


(You try and breathe.)


Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Siffrin...!


(It's fine. It's just the end again.)

(It's the same.)


Euphrasie (ending1) I'm so sorry! There's no way we can stop it now...!


(You'll just be...)


Another glitch.


Euphrasie (ending2) --You'll be going back! Back when everything started!


(See...? You already know what will happen after that.)

(If you know what happens next, it means you're fine.)

(You're fine.)


(You're fine...)


Odile Siffrin?


Odile on a grey background. She is looking up in surprise, mouth hanging open.

Odile ...Something wrong?


(You turn your head.)

(Odile  is looking right at you.)


A boxed in image of Siffrin on a black background. Their eye is blank.

(You can't shift your expression fast enough.)


The entire party with confused and concerned expression. They are drawn small, as though far away. A close up of Siffrin's face from a low angle. Their eye is blown wide and without light. His mouth hangs open just a little in a frown.

Odile Siffrin. What is it? Is everything okay?

Mirabelle Head Housemaiden, is something the matter?


Euphrasie (ending2) I can't fix it on my own, not before it all ends... If only I had noticed sooner!!!


Isabeau Huh? What's happening?

Bonnie Frin?


(You can't move.)

(You're frozen.)


Mirabelle Siffrin, what's...


The party on a dark grey background. Everyone has their eyes shut in pain.

Mirabelle Siffrin, what's... Urgh!!!

Isabeau Is something happening?! The air around us...

Isabeau It feels like... Ah!


Another glitch.


Bonnie My head hurts!!!


Euphrasie (ending2) It's my fault that you have to suffer like this.


The entire party sprints toward Siffrin. They take up the entire frame, to suggest they're close. Isabeau is at the front. He is reaching out toward Siffrin, yelling. Mirabelle is behind him. She is picking up her skirt to run faster. To the right behind Isabeau is Bonnie, obviously distressed, and Odile is at the back, also concerned.

Odile Siffrin!!!


(They're all running, reaching towards you.)


Bonnie Frin, come back!!! Something's wrong!!!


(You have to move)


Mirabelle SIFFRIN!!!


Another glitch.


(Just  move--!!!)


Euphrasie (ending3) I just hope that one day...


(You can catch Isabeau's hand--)


Isabeau SIF! SIF!!! SIFFRIN!!!


More glitches.


Euphrasie (ending3) You might learn--


The same empty-eyed image of Siffrin, except they hold up one gloved hand.

(You take a step forward--)


Euphrasie (ending3) To forgive--


(And then--)



The screen glitches black. The game over screen appears briefly, until Siffrin is torn away after a split second.

The game over text reads: (In this moment, you were loved.)



Second time

If you've reached the end 4+ times in ACT3+, the option to stall appears again.


Euphrasie (thankyou1) Traveling one!

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


(You stay silent.)


Euphrasie (smiling1) I'd like to thank you for accompanying young Mirabelle this far. I'm very grateful.

Euphrasie (thankyou1) Siffrin, yes? If there's anything I can do to thank you, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Euphrasie (thankyou1) I know you will go back on your travels soon, but I do hope you'll keep in touch, if only for young Mirabelle...


(You want to laugh.)

(It's all the same.)

(Of course it'd be the same.)


Euphrasie (sorry2) But no matter what, know that Dormont will always be open to you! Please come back... any... time...


The screen glitches.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) ...!!!!!


The screen darkens with static, leaving only Siffrin in the spotlight.


Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...

Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Siffrin...!


(You're here, again.)

(Why did you do that again? Just to see if they'd notice it sooner this time?)

(Or did you want to make it easier for yourself?)

(It's just so much easier to go through the House, if they have those skills, after all.)

(You didn't mean to get that far.)

(To make yourself suffer.)


Euphrasie (ending1) I'm so sorry! There's no way we can stop it now...!


Another glitch.


Euphrasie (ending2) I'm sorry! You'll be going back! Back when everything started!


(What DID happen last time...? Odile talked first, didn't she... And she said...)


Odile Siffrin?


(Yes, that was it.)


Odile on a grey background. She is looking up in surprise, mouth hanging open.

Odile ...Something wrong?


(See, it's the same. It won't change.)


The entire party with confused and concerned expression. They are drawn small, as though far away. A close up of Siffrin's face from a low angle. Their eye is blown wide and without light. His mouth hangs open just a little in a frown.

Odile Siffrin. What is it? Is everything okay?

Mirabelle Head Housemaiden, is something the matter?


Euphrasie (ending2) I can't fix it on my own, not before it all ends... If only I had noticed sooner!!!


Isabeau Huh? What's happening?

Bonnie Frin?


(It's the exact same.)

(But you don't mind.)

(You're frozen.)


Mirabelle Siffrin, what's...


The party on a dark grey background. Everyone has their eyes shut in pain.

Mirabelle Siffrin, what's... Urgh!!!

Isabeau Is something happening?! The air around us...

Isabeau It feels like... Ah!


Another glitch.


Bonnie My head hurts!!!


(It's nice, to know exactly what will happen.)


Euphrasie (ending2) It's my fault that you have to suffer like this.

Odile Siffrin!!!


(To see them like this.)


Bonnie Frin, come back!!! Something's wrong!!!


(Worried for you.)


Mirabelle SIFFRIN!!!


Another glitch.


Euphrasie (ending3) I just hope that one day...


Isabeau SIF! SIF!!! SIFFRIN!!!


More glitches.


(It's true, isn't it?)


Euphrasie (ending3) You might learn--

Euphrasie (ending3) To forgive--


(In this moment, you are lo--)

Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...


(Aaah!)

(Soon, soon! It'll happen soon!)

(Everyone is doing the same thing as usual.)


Another glitch.


(Until they notice you!)


Odile Siffrin?


Odile on a grey background. She is looking up in surprise, mouth hanging open.

Odile ...Something wrong?

The entire party with confused and concerned expression. They are drawn small, as though far away. A close up of Siffrin's face from a long angle. They are smiling, full of love.

(You smile!)

(In this moment, she loves you!)


Odile Siffrin. What is it? Is everything okay?

Isabeau Huh? What's happening?


(In this moment, he loves you!)

End of ACT 4

Available after talking to Loop again at the end of Loopquest.


First time

(. . .)

(Talking with everyone again made you think.)

(Made you think that maybe... Maybe you could keep this going for a little bit longer.)

(Live in the loops for a little while longer, keep the play going for a little longer.)

(If you wanted.)

(You can always talk to her later, and escape the loops another time, can't you?)

(. . .)


Subsequent times

Only if the player chose to keep looping instead of ending ACT 4.


(...)

(You could keep looping for a little longer... Or ask the Head Housemaiden about Wish Craft...)

    Siffrin (unhinged1) "I know about Wish Craft!"

    Euphrasie (oh1) Wish Craft...?

    Euphrasie (smiling4) Oh, Wish Craft! Yes, it just so happened that a lot of people in Vaugarde wished for our country to be saved!

    Euphrasie (smiling1) I did not think it would work, but if you're here, perhaps it... Did...

    Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...

    Euphrasie (CRAB1) Oh... Siffrin...!

    Euphrasie (ending1) I'm so sorry! There's no way we can stop it now...!

    Euphrasie (ending2) I'm sorry! You'll be going back! Back when everything started!

    Siffrin (unhinged4) "But you can fix it, can't you?!"


    Another glitch.


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

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


    (No, no, no, she's repeating the same things still!!!)

    (Why is she always repeating the same thing, over and over and over?!)


    Siffrin (angry4) (You just wish she would ANSWER YOU!!!!!!) "Now that you know, now that I know, you can fix it!!!"


    Euphrasie (ending3) . . .

    Euphrasie (ending3) Fix it?


    The music slows and grows distorted.


    Euphrasie is cupping Siffrin's face with her hands, bringing the two so close that their foreheads touch. The background is pitch black, and the two are in stark white contrast to it. The only shadow is the one Siffrin's hat casts over his face.

    Euphrasie No. It's too late, Siffrin. It's always been too late.


    Siffrin (What? But...) "But if you know about Wish Craft... You must know how to--"


    A close up of Euphrasie crying, big round tears running down her face.

    Euphrasie Oh, Siffrin...!

    Euphrasie It's true. All of Vaugarde wished to the Favor Tree, wished for us to be saved.

    Euphrasie We wished for a savior. A way for us to win against the King.

    Euphrasie And Wish Craft gave us the means to do it, didn't it? Made sure it'd work?

    Euphrasie Somehow, Wish Craft gave us a savior, able to use Time Craft... Able to retry, as many times as it took! So you could beat the King!!!

    Siffrin "Right! So--"

    Euphrasie But... But something went wrong, didn't it?


    Euphrasie squeezing her eyes shut as she cries. She looks deeply saddened and regretful.

    Euphrasie Something goes wrong, every time!!!

    Euphrasie If you're here now, asking about Wish Craft, then something must be wrong, isn't it? This isn't the first time you've gotten this far, isn't it?!?

    Euphrasie It shouldn't be like this... Why does time loop back, even though the King has been defeated?!?

    Euphrasie The only answer I can find... Is it's because we did it wrong.


    (?!?)


    Euphrasie I don't know what happened! But we must've done it wrong!!!

    Euphrasie None of us in Vaugarde knew the exact ritual, but-- But we must have done it so wrong, it broke, and it doesn't answer to us at all anymore!!!

    Euphrasie Or maybe-- Maybe someone wished for it, wished for our wish to fail!!! Wished for this!!!

    Euphrasie Something made our wish break, made it fail, made it rot!!!

    Euphrasie O-Or maybe the wish can't come true anymore, somehow!!! Maybe the King wasn't defeated the right way-- It'll forever remain incomplete, and Wish Craft, the world, will not abide it!!!

    Euphrasie I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!!!


    Siffrin is looking up at Euphrasie, face still framed by her hands on their cheeks. Their pupil is a white slit, and their face is cast in shadow.

    (You can't move.)

    (You can't breathe.)

    (The wish... Is broken?)

    (She can't help you, even now?)

    (You're stuck here forever?)


    Euphrasie If only... If only we had fought back against the King, instead! If only we didn't wish for such a thing!

    Euphrasie If only I knew this would happen, if I had noticed it sooner, I would never have let people wish at all!!!

    Euphrasie To know you'll be trapped for all eternity, Siffrin... I am so sorry!!!

    Euphrasie It's our fault, all of Vaugarde, that you have to suffer like this!!!


    More glitches.


    Euphrasie I just hope that one day...


    Euphrasie cupping Siffrin's face. This time, hre back is turned to the viewer. She is hunched over in misery. Siffrin is entirely cast in the shadow of their hat. White on black silhouettes of Siffrin encircle them.

    Euphrasie You might learn to forgive us!!!!!!



    The screen glitches black. The game over screen appears briefly, until Siffrin is torn away after a split second.

    The game over text reads, at random:

    • (The curtain falls.)
    • (Something's broken, failing, rotting.)
    • (You got to the end.)
  • (Keep looping for a little longer.)

    (Just a little longer...)

    (Just a moment longer, a minute, a second longer...)

    (Before the curtain falls.)


    The scene then proceeds as usual.
