Last Room / Snack Room

Text for the last room before facing the King in START AGAIN.

The True End triggers at 10+ Weird points, the Perfect End at 4 or less.

Any Weird Point value between the two, as well as the first loop of the game, results in the regular ending(s).


Text for seeing True End before is only possible to obtain if you died battling the King on the True End path. Text for the regular endings and the Perfect End are identical, unless stated otherwise.


"Galre" is Adrienne's typo, not mine. Check your game files. It's there.

Event

Regular

(The room just before the King...)

(Everyone is happily encouraging everyone else, giving each other potions, getting ready to save Vaugarde.)

(You zone out.)


First time

(You've heard all this many, many, many times before.)

(They look so happy... So peaceful... And all you can do is stitch your smile permanently on, as you always have.)

(It's selfishness, not telling them they'll die in the very next room.)

(You don't want them to know. You don't want them to have to deal with this.)

(You don't want them to suffer like you do.)

(...)

(You wonder how everyone will die this time.)

(Will the King beat them with Craft until they are no more?)

(Will he freeze them in time, unable to move or breathe for all eternity?)

(How will YOU meet your end?)

(In blood and stars maybe... In tears and time perhaps...)


Subsequent times

(...)

(.........)


If you've seen the True End version before

(...)

(You've seen this so many times before.)

(You finally saw something different before...)

(What did you do last time that you didn't do this time...?)



True End Path

The fighter and the housemaiden stand opposite one another in the center of the room. The kid and the researcher are at the far side of the room, with the researcher staring at the exit.

Siffrin enters the room.


Housemaiden (determined1) (pst pst pst)

Fighter (embarassed1) (pst pst pst)


(They're both whispering to each other...)

(...)


First time

(...did...)

(Did this happen before...?)


Subsequent times

(You've seen this before, you have, but...)

(You don't want to ignore things this time.)

(Not for this.)


Housemaiden (distressed1) (you have to talk to them, they might listen if it's you--)

Fighter (worried1b) (i don't know what i would even say--)


The fighter jumps and turns in Siffrin's direction.


Fighter (embarassed4) A-ah! Um!!!!!


The fighter and the housemaiden walk over to Siffrin, stopping in front of him.


Fighter (surprised2) Sif, we were talking, and we couldn't help but notice, that you're acting a little weird, and,


First time

(No, you haven't heard this before. This is new. Focus. Focus. Focus.)

(FOCUS!!!)


Subsequent times

(This isn't new anymore. You listen anyway.)


Fighter (embarassed1) We know this is a stressful time, and we were wondering if--

Housemaiden (determined2) Tell us what's wrong!!!


Everybody reacts in surprise. The kid and the researcher now face the rest of the group.


Researcher (readingup1) Oh boy.


The fighter turns to the housemaiden.


Fighter (surprised3) WE SAID WE WERE GONNA BUILD UP TO IT!!!

Housemaiden (determined1) TELL US WHAT'S WRONG!!!!!!

Housemaiden (distressed1) You're acting weird! You're forgetting things, you know too much, you're super strong,

Housemaiden (determined1) ...and you look sad and tired every time you think we're not looking!


The fighter turns back to Siffrin.


Fighter (ohfuck1) Hahaha, what she's saying is--


The kid and the researcher walk down, stopping left and right of Siffrin.


Researcher (wondering1) What she's saying is stop it.

Fighter (ohfuck2) UM, what she MEANS is--

Kid (angry1) What she's saying is you're acting weird and it's BUMMING US OUT!!!


The fighter jumps, sweating.


Fighter (surprised3) WOAH WOAH WOAH, WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING IS--

Housemaiden (determined2) If you have something on your mind, you can talk to us!!!

Researcher (reading1) And if you keep being down, it'll affect our performance in battle.

Fighter (ohfuck3) Oh crab.

Housemaiden (determined2) And we want to help you, and we love you!!!


The fighter sweats, again.


Fighter (embarassed4) YEAH, THAT!!! WE WANT TO HELP YOU!!!!

Fighter (blushing1) and we, uh-- we-- we l-love you... and stuff.

Kid (sad3) Ew...

Researcher (oof1) I am not saying that.


The fighter stares at the researcher.


Fighter (GALRE1) (GLARE)


The kid and the researcher sweat.


Researcher (shy1) ...and we want to

Kid (shy1) ...and we want to help you, and we love you.

Housemaiden (distressed1) Siffrin, please tell us what's wrong.

Kid (sad3) W-we can help, right? And if we can't, we can still listen...


First time only

(uh)

(What's happening?)

(This never happened before. You don't know what to do. You don't know what to do you don't know what to do you don't know what to do.)


Fighter (worried2) ...Sif...?

Siffrin (fake2) (say something anything!!!)

  • "Th-thank you!"

    Fighter (happy1) No problem!

  • "N-nothing's wrong though?"

    Proceed with the scene.


Fighter (awkward1) ...

Kid (sad3) ...

Researcher (angry2) ...

Housemaiden (awkward1) ...

Siffrin (offguard1) (...) "..."


Siffrin looks left and right as silence reigns.


(You look around.)


First time

(This usually works, why isn't it working now???)

(Just say something, you can't let them figure it out--)


Subsequent times

(This is already more than you've ever hope you'd ever see.)

(You don't want to risk it by changing the script.)


Researcher (sigh1) (SIGH.)


Siffrin looks at the researcher.


Researcher (oof1) One thing. Just tell us one thing that bothers you.

Researcher (question1) It doesn't have to be The Thing. Just one thing. What's bothering you right now?

Siffrin (hide1) (...) "...I'm tired."


(Nope! Too true. The words don't even escape your mouth.)


Siffrin (surprised2) (say something else.) "...I'm hungry?"

Kid (zomg1) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kid (neutral1) My time  has come.


(The kid looks into their pocket which seems to contain a frankly impressive array of snacks.)

Kid (pout1) Best snacks, best snacks...


Kid (proud1) OKAY! I haaaaaave...


The kid presenting some palmiers.

Kid (proud1) ...some palmiers!

Researcher (wondering2) (What is that?)

Fighter (neutral1) (it's a kind of flaky sweet pastry!)

Kid (pout1) And I also have...


The kid presenting a samoussa.

Kid (proud1) ...a samoussa!!

Fighter (surprised2) (what is that???)

Researcher (reading1) (A savory pastry, popular in coastal places like Bambouche.)

Kid (proud1) It's our specialty!!!


Kid (ew1) And finally...


The kid presenting a fish head.

Kid (excited1) A grilled fish head!!!

Researcher (ew1) Hm.

Fighter (surprised3) WHAT?

Housemaiden (THEFUCK1) THE WHOLE HEAD???

Kid (phew1) Fish heads are yummy and the textures are different and good!!!

Housemaiden (awkward2) ARE THEY???

Fighter (surprised3) ARE THEY REALLY

Kid (angry1) THEY ARE!!!


Siffrin (surprised1) (uh)

  • "Palmier please?"

    Kid (pout1) Okay...! Wait, I have a really nice napkin somewhere...

    Kid (proud1) There!!! Sweet words of the residence!!!

    Housemaiden (awkward2) (what...)

    Fighter (awkward1) (..."Compliments of the house"?)

    Researcher (oof1) (Oh gems...)

    Siffrin is holding wrapped food, and staring at it with hesitation.

    (Palmier it is.)

    (You bite into it...)


    Siffrin takes a small bite of food while looking at the ground.

    (Tastes sweet...)

    (...)

    (You used to eat those all the time, before...)

  • "Is it a potato samoussa?"

    Asking this boots you back to the choice, enabling you to pick a snack. Unlocks the option to pick the samoussa.


    Kid (surprised1) Yeah! Don't they always have potatoes in them???

    Siffrin (surprised1) (Actually...) "Not where I come from..."

    Kid (surprised1) What... Weird...

    Kid (proud1) Well they're better with potatoes!!!


    (Ew, doubtful.)

    (Sounds different though.)

    (You could use different.)

  • "Samoussa please..."

    Only available after asking whether it's a potato samoussa.


    Kid (pout1) Okay...! Wait, I have a really nice napkin somewhere...

    Kid (proud1) There!!! Sweet words of the residence!!!

    Housemaiden (awkward2) (what...)

    Fighter (awkward1) (..."Compliments of the house"?)

    Researcher (oof1) (Oh gems...)


    Siffrin is holding wrapped food, and staring at it with hesitation.

    (Weird potato samoussa it is.)

    (You bite into it...)


    Siffrin takes a small bite of food while looking at the ground.

    (Tastes potato-y...)

    (But you don't mind it.)

    (Anything that's a new, unusual experience... You'll take it, even if it's eating food that you hate.)

  • "What fish is it?"

    Asking this boots you back to the choice, enabling you to pick a snack. Unlocks the option to pick the fish head.


    Kid (proud1) Salmon!

    Fighter (awkward1) Does it change anything...

    Kid (phew1) Salmon's just the best tastiest fish ever!

  • "Fish head please."

    Only available after asking what fish it is.


    Kid (pout1) Okay... Wait, I have a really nice napkin somewhere...

    Kid (proud1) There!!! Sweet words of the residence!!!

    Housemaiden (awkward2) (what...)

    Fighter (awkward1) (..."Compliments of the house"?)

    Researcher (oof1) (Oh gems...)

    Siffrin is holding wrapped food, and staring at it with hesitation.

    (Fish head it is.)

    (You bite into it...)


    Siffrin takes a small bite of food while looking at the ground.

    (It's crunchy and, as always, good despite its appearance.)

    (Someone you know... used to love them... so you tried to love them too.)

    (It took you a long time to get used to the texture...)



Siffrin chews their food while staring down at it. Their eye is shiny, like they're about to cry.

(...)


First time

(For some reason, you feel like crying...)

(How long has it been since you last ate something filling...?)

(How long has it been since something new happened?)


(How long have you been lost?)

(...)


Subsequent times

(This is perfect, this is more than you could've ever hoped for, but...)

(Is it  yet another prison? Are you still trapped?)

(Instead of your friends not realizing anything's wrong, now you have to relive this moment where they know something is wrong, but are powerless to stop it?)

(...But this is the right path. You're sure of it.)

(If only... You were strong enough to win against the King as things are now...)


(You swallow.)


Kid (sad3) ...D'you feel better...?


(You think about it.)

(You don't feel great, but...)

(...)


(You nod.)


Kid (sad3) ...Okay.

Housemaiden (distressed2) ...


(She takes your hand.)


The entire group stands close to Siffrin. The kid is tugging at their cloak, and the housemaiden is holding their hands with a smile. Siffrin's back is turned to the viewer whereas the entire group's faces are visible.

(Ah, her hands...)

(Even her hands  are covered in calluses, after all the battles she and all your friends fought in.)


  • First time: (You  had forgotten.)
  • Subsequent times: (You  don't want to forget.)

Housemaiden (gentle1) ...

Housemaiden (smile1) ...Let's rest here for a bit.

Housemaiden (smile1) We can head out when you're ready to go.

Housemaiden (smile1) Okay?


(...)


First time

(How badly are you messing up that this happened?)

(Or...)


Subsequent times

(One more time, one more time...)


(...)

The Fighter

(Stars above, you've heard this before.)

("Hey Sif...")


Fighter (happy1) --everything good? You got your--


("...dagger ready? Some potions? Your...")


Fighter (embarassed1) --cool silver coin, ah! Sorry to be a mother--


("...hen, I just wanted to...")

Siffrin (fake1) (...) "I'm ready to go!"

Fighter (confident1) Awesome!!! Let's kick some kingly butt!!!



True End path

Fighter (worried1) ...

Fighter (worried1b) Hey, uh...


The fighter sweats.


Fighter (awkward1) Ha, I know this is gonna be an awkward thing to ask, but I'm still gonna ask it!

Fighter (worried2) ...Can I hold your hand too...? For a little bit...


(...)


Fighter (embarassed1) I-it's okay if you don't want me to!!! It's absolutely fine!!!

Fighter (worried1b) I just...

Fighter (worried2) I... I really want to comfort you in some way right now.

Fighter (embarassed1) And   a hug might, like, be a little too much? I dunno?

Fighter (embarassed2) B-BUT I UNDERSTAND!!! NO WORRIES!!!! NO PRESSURE!!!!

Siffrin (sad1) (...) (Nod.)

Fighter (surprised1) O-Oh!!! Alright!!!!


(He hurriedly wipes his palms on his pants   and carefully cradles your hands.)


The fighter and Siffrin hold hands. The fighter's hands are extremely sweaty.

(His hands are still sweaty. The moisture is seeping through your gloves. It's, quite honestly, on the verge of being gross.)

(His grip   is so tight.)


(...It's   comforting.)


Fighter (smile1) ...

Fighter (awkward1) ...

Fighter (blushing1) ...

Fighter (blushing2) my hands aren't sweaty are they


Siffrin (smile1) (...)

  • "Dude, they are SOOOOOOO sweaty"

    Fighter (embarassed3) aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    The fighter jumps.


    Fighter (embarassed3) I'M ANXIOUS, OKAY!!!! THIS IS A STRESSFUL AND IMPORTANT MOMENT!!!! I HAVE A SWEATY BODY ALL THE TIME!!!

  • (Just laugh.)

    Fighter (embarassed3) aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    The fighter jumps.


    Fighter (embarassed3) I'M ANXIOUS, OKAY!!!! I'M HOLDING YOUR HAND!!!! I HAVE A SWEATY BODY ALL THE TIME!!!


Fighter (surprised2) ...Oh!

Fighter (happy1) Heheheh, Sif, you're laughing!!!!

Fighter (sad1) ...I... I feel like   I haven't seen you laugh   in a really long time.



First time

(You don't remember the last time you truly laughed either.)

(Stars, you forgot how much you used to make each other laugh.)


Subsequent times

(You remember, now.)


Fighter (sad2) ...You can talk to us. You know that, right?

Fighter (sad3) ...I'll let you prepare.

Fighter (happy1) ...Talk to you later, 'kay?



Repeated interaction

Regular

Fighter (confident1) Let's go, let's go!


True End path

Fighter (happy1) Hey!


(He's holding out his hand.)

(You put your hand in his, and hold hands for a little bit, swaying them lightly.)


Fighter (happy1) Hehehe...



The Housemaiden

Regular

(Stars above, you've heard this before.)

("Thank you for...")


Housemaiden (smile1) --everything, Siffrin! I really treasure--


("...your friendship, I hope you also...")


Housemaiden (determined1) --consider me a good friend, let's--


("...do our best, against the King, and live...")


Housemaiden (smile2) --happily, as soon as this is over!

Siffrin (fake1) (...) "I couldn't agree more!"

Housemaiden (smile1) Hehehe! I have a great feeling about this!!!



True End path

Housemaiden (hm1) Phew... My heart is still beating super fast...

Housemaiden (awkward2) I'm no good at being confrontational...!


Siffrin (normalsmile1) (...)

  • "You did great!"

    Housemaiden (hm1) Don't tease me... It was hard...

  • "Thank you."

    Housemaiden (wondering1) Oh... I'm... You're welcome.


Housemaiden (worried3) ......

Housemaiden (worried1) Sif... Do you remember... Do you remember when we first met?

Housemaiden (wondering1) Um. You know... Back when we met, I thought you were... kind of a mean person?

Housemaiden (determined1) You always acted like you were above us... As if our worries and our quest were unimportant to you...

Housemaiden (awkward2) N-Not in a malicious way!!! More like... Like a quest to save Vaugarde was on the same level as... doing laundry, or something.

Housemaiden (determined1) Something you seemed confident we'd all succeed at and you weren't sure why we were even worried!

Housemaiden (angry1) But then...


The housemaiden cradles Siffrin's face in her hands. They look away.

(Slowly, gently, she puts her hands on your cheeks.)


(Her fingers graze your left cheekbone, right below your scarred eye.)


Housemaiden (angry3) ...but then... Then you got hurt... trying to protect one of us...

Housemaiden (determined2) So... So it was never true, was it? You care about us, don't you?

Housemaiden (angry3) So I feel like... If you're hiding something... It must be   because you don't want us to be hurt.

Housemaiden (distressed2) ...Am I wrong...?

Siffrin (hide1) (...) (Stay silent.)


Housemaiden (distressed2) ...

Housemaiden (distressed3) It's fine if you can't tell us right now.

Housemaiden (angry3) Just please remember... that the same way you want us protected and safe...

Housemaiden (gentle1) We   want the same for you.


The housemaiden jumps.


Housemaiden (determined1) So talk to us eventually, you STINKIN' CRAB!!!

Siffrin (sadsmile1) (...) "I promise."


Researcher (readingup1) Did I hear someone say "crab"? Siffrin, are you making our dear Housemaiden curse?


The housemaiden jumps again.


Housemaiden (smile4) I'm allowed to say bad words!!! I'm a growncrab lady!!!!

Researcher (smile1) Oh my. The King better watch out.

Housemaiden (smile1) I'll curse him to smithereens!!!


(You and the growncrab lady both laugh.)


Housemaiden (smile2) ...Alright!

Housemaiden (smile1) Let us know when you're ready, Siffrin! Let's kick some King butt!

Kid (annoyed1) --kick the King's butt for me, okay? Oh--


("...hey, do you want...")


Kid (phew1) --a snack or something?

Siffrin (fake1) (...) "Nah, I'm good!"

Kid (worried1) I have apples and chouquettes and some radishes and oh I have a big mushroom I found and......

Kid (worried2) ...

Kid (sad2) ...I dunno... what to do... I don't want you to feel bummed out...

Kid (sad1) ...

Kid (sad2) Y'know, my sister, I...

Kid (sad3) I wanna see my sister again very, very much.

Kid (sad2) But... I'm thinking about her so much... that I didn't realize you weren't okay...

Kid (sad2) Why   didn't I see   that you weren't okay...?

  • Siffrin (sad1) (...)
  • "I'm sorry too."
  • "Please don't worry about me..."

Kid (sad2) Mmm...

Kid (sad1) ...


(It's not their fault...)

(How can you make them feel better?)

(...)


Siffrin (sadsmile1) (...) "Do you still have snacks?"

Kid (excited1) Sna--YEAH!!!


(The kid gives you a frankly massive handful of snacks.)

(You feel a little queasy just looking at it...)

(But the kid is looking at you so expectantly......!!!)


(Bravely, you eat them all.)

(...You give the kid a thumbs up.)


Kid (phew1) Phew!!!

Siffrin (fake1) (...) "Absolutely!"

Researcher (reading1) Yeah. Let's be ready for anything.

Researcher (smile1) Perfect. I have no doubt we'll succeed.



True End path

Researcher (angry1) ...Give me another thing that bothers you.

Researcher (angry1) Don't think about it. GO.


Siffrin (surprised1) "um--"

  • "I-I forget things?"

    Researcher (angry2) ...

    Researcher (angry1) ...I know you kids like to act as if this is a field trip...

    Researcher (angry1) ...but this is an extremely stressful situation to be in.

    Researcher (question1) It wouldn't be surprising for you to forget things.

    Researcher (question1) Whatever it is, it'll definitely come back to you.

    Researcher (question1) No need to rush things. Okay?

  • "Th-things are overwhelming?"

    Researcher (angry1) Overwhelming... Is it the castle? The noise?

    Researcher (question1) You HAVE been spacing out during conversations lately...

    Researcher (question1) Is it that? Should I tell the kids to talk less?

    Researcher (oof1) ...Alright, alright, no need to look so panicked. I won't say anything.

    Researcher (angry1) I imagine it must be hard... But try to stay in the moment.

    Researcher (worried3) Focus on what's around you. The views, the sounds, the smells...

    Researcher (question1) Let's talk more about this when we're done. We'll figure it out. Okay?


Researcher (worried1) ...You're... You're doing fine, Siffrin.

Siffrin (fake1) (...)

    Fighter (confident1) Awesome!!!

    Siffrin (fake2) (...?) "What do you mean...?"

    Fighter (embarassed1) Oh!!! Um, you were...

    Fighter (embarassed2) Well! You were acting a little weird when we were way closer to the Castle's entrance......

    Fighter (wondering2) You weren't really listening to us, you were kinda smiling the way you do when you're actually not happy...

    Fighter (embarassed2) ...and you like, almost acted like you knew exactly where you were going?

    Fighter (happy1) But clearly you're feeling better now! You're acting just like normal!!!

    Kid (phew1) Pff, I told you they were fine... Siffrin would never be worried about anything!

    Housemaiden (smile1) Hehe! If Siffrin was worried, then we would have no chance, would we?

    Researcher (smug1) A Siffrin worried about things means the end of the world is nigh. But since they're back to normal, we will definitely win.

    Fighter (happy1) What are they, a good luck charm? Haha!!!
