+Bard: Hmm...
+Marco: Is something the matter?
+Bard: I was just expecting more...you know...sex stuff. Or kinky stuff. Not a book and a box.
+Marco: Well, the flows of the Carnal River can be really unpredictable! You can fixate on objects for reasons other than being horny.
+Marco: It could be something that brings back painful memories. Or something that leaves a strong impression on someone.
+Bard: ...So what you're saying is that they are pretty much random.
+Marco: Pretty much! After all, mortals are very complicated. What's trivial to one may be another's deepest fear.
+Bard: Y'know, Marco. It sounds like you know a lot about people. Is it all really just from listening to rambling [color=#00ffff]souls[/color] like me...?
+Marco: I wouldn't say "ramble"... Ah, and from [color=#ffff00]fishing[/color], too! It's like getting many unconnected glimpses into people's lives.
+Marco: But I wouldn't go so far as to say I know a lot... Honestly, with each day, it feels like I know less and less. But I still find it all fascinating.
+Bard: Is it really...?
+Marco: Yes! A certain soul told me that it sounded to them like putting together a large puzzle, trying to fit the pieces together...
+Marco: And then when you find a piece that doesn't fit anywhere, it turns out that the puzzle was much bigger than you imagined!
+Marco: ...
+Marco: I don't really get how puzzles work or why they would be fun, but I imagine that a fellow soul like you might appreciate the metaphor better than me.
+Bard: Yeah...it sounds about right. Life is pretty scary...
+Marco: But I've still learned so much! And who knows what else is there to discover...
+Marco: Such as vore! Until you explained it to me, I never could've even imagined that it was a real thing...
+Bard: Uhhhh... I-I still think that you're putting too much thought into that, Marco. It's not something I really care about.
+Marco: Are you sure? Maybe you still have to remember that you did care!
+Bard: Y-Yeah, well... My memory isn't really that good. Although, that thing we [color=#ffff00]fished[/color] reminds me–

+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: Oh. Did you struggle with money?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+Bard: Hmm, not really. My parents weren't wealthy, but we had enough to get by.
+Bard: But my parent... They were really obsessed that I'd get an important job that paid a lot.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused_speak
+Marco: Hmm... Your religious parent, correct?
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused
+Bard: Yeah, that one. They said that I was gifted, since I was always getting high grades in school. That I'd go on and get a diploma in one of the best colleges in the country.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful_speak
+Marco: It sounds like you were a great student!
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: Nah... Only when I actually liked the classes. In fact, there was this one time in high school where I couldn't care less about an exam that was coming up.
+Bard: Instead of studying, me and my cousin decided to hang out all night. Obviously, we both flunked it.
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/crossed_arms
+Marco: Were you upset?
+Bard: Upset? W-Well, I would just study harder for the next exam to compensate... or something.
+Bard: But I still tried to hide the bad grade, because I knew that my parent would overreact.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: Overreact...?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: Yeah. They actually found out later, and got upset.
+Bard: But instead of shouting at me, they thought that the teacher had made a mistake. That they had something against me.
+$set_sprite bard bard/sweat bounce
+Bard: At one point, they went over to the school and started a shitstorm! They kept fighting the school board over it, hoping that the teacher would give me a better grade.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/explain
+Marco: Heh. So you got away with it, in the end?
+Bard: Oh, no. As soon as my parent confronted me about it, I told them the truth. That I didn't study.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: But they didn't care, and kept fighting the school until they changed my grade.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/shocked
+Marco: Oh wow! They kept fighting the school on your behalf, even though you admitted to it. That's quite the stubbornness!
+Bard: It was pretty crazy. 
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: Aw... I think it's bittersweet that your parent decided to stand up for you, even if they were pretty misguided.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: Maybe. I felt pretty bad about it, though. If I had just studied for the exam, then none of this would have happened...

+Bard: Th-The briefcase was what jogged my memory.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: The gold, you mean?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+$set_sprite bard bard/sweat
+Bard: No, no. The briefcase itself. It reminded me of a play I saw once.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive_speak
+Marco: A play...?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: Yeah, like in theater. With a stage and actors and such.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused
+Bard: I don't remember what it was called. I just remember that there was this briefcase, and all of the characters wanted to get it for some reason or another.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused_speak
+Marco: Oh... Sounds like a complex plot. And what was inside of the briefcase?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused
+Bard: That's the thing, nobody knew. Everyone thought it was something different. That was the whole joke.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/laugh
+Marco: They all had their reasons to seek it out... That sounds interesting!
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive
+Bard: ...Actually, I thought it was pretty bad. The ending was very abrupt and confusing.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/crossed_arms
+Marco: Oh.
+Bard: I only watched it because my friend dragged me. They were really into theater.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/surprised
+Marco: By friend, do you mean the one who you had a crush on?
+$set_sprite bard bard/blush
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful
+Bard: Y-Yeah. They wanted to become an actor, so they dragged me along for all the plays that they could find around town.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: Some of them were really weird or boring. I only remember the briefcase one because of all of the jokes that we made.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/neutral_speak
+Marco: Jokes?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/neutral
+Bard: Yeah! It was so bad that we kept making jokes about it the whole week. I remember the jokes better than the plot of the play!
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+$set_sprite bard bard/blush
+Marco: Aw... I think that's bittersweet. Despite you not enjoying the play, you two still managed to find some joy in it!
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful_speak
+Marco: P-Plus, you got to spend more time with the friend you had strong feelings for.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: T-True... But I still think watching that bad play was a waste of time.

+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: It's not much, just this movie I saw a while ago. It was about a wizard who only l-learned a single spell–
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: Oh! Did he have a book like the one we found?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+Bard: No, he only had a magic wand. And the only spell it could cast was to...uh...shrink whoever used.
+$set_sprite bard bard/blush
+Bard: And the premise of the whole movie is that the wizard gets in all sorts of, uh, s-situations because of that spell... But he also uses it to get out of them.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/reflect
+Marco: That sounds like an intriguing movie. Did you like it?
+Bard: Y-Yeah...a bit too much. I-It kinda made me realize how much I wanted to be like him.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/explain
+Marco: You mean, being a wizard who could shrink at will?
+Bard: ...
+Bard: I-It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but I realized that I had a...let's say, micro k-kink.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/explain
+Marco: Hmm... So being small is another fetish for you. Besides vore.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: ...
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful_speak
+Marco: That's okay! I'm not judging.
+...But I guess that one did become a reality, considering how small you are.
+$set_sprite bard bard/sweat bounce
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful_speak
+Bard: ...!
+$set_sprite bard bard/blush
+Bard: Y-You're right. G-Gosh... Now I'm making this w-weird...!
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/surprised
+Marco: Oh, oops. I didn't mean to make you even more flustered! Besides, I said I don't judge, and that's still true.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/explain
+Marco: Aaaanyway, you were saying...
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive
+Bard: ...A-After that movie, I was feeling kinda embarrassed. I thought about shrinking myself nonstop. I couldn't really talk to anyone about it...except my guru.
+Bard: I was really afraid that they'd laugh at me...! B-But they didn't, and I felt so relieved. I was just glad to get it off my chest.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/reflect
+Marco: Ah, you mentioned your guru earlier. The one that gave you private counseling sessions, right?
+Bard: Y-Yeah... I told them about my micro fetish, but th-there's no way I would tell them about my vore one...!
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/explain
+Marco: Why not tell anyone else? Is it really that embarrassing?
+$set_sprite bard bard/blush
+Bard: ...
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: Aw... Well, I think that it's bittersweet that you still had someone that you could confide your secrets to.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: I dunno... Maybe it would be better if my tastes weren't so weird in the first place.
+$goto 05_f2_end

+$increment route_d
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: But it's not much. Just this cousin that came to visit every now and then.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/reflect
+Marco: Your cousin? How did [color=#ffff00]fishing[/color] remind you of them?
+Bard: I-It's a long story. My cousin was older than me, but they lived nearby, so they'd come visit every other day.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: I don't think I told you, but... I was super kinda into space stuff. And it was definitely their fault.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive_speak
+Marco: So you two were pretty friendly?
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive
+Bard: Yeah! They were like a sibling to me. Or my best friend. I've been thinking a lot about them lately.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/greet
+Marco: I'm glad that you're remembering more, Bard!
+$set_sprite bard bard/sweat
+Bard: T-To answer your question...I guess I remembered them because of the creepy yellow eye on that book.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: My cousin always had the coolest concepts for new alien species, and kept showing me their new doodles.
+Bard: There was this alien that they liked the most. It was just a purple blob. It didn't even have a skeleton...just a yellow eye floating inside of them.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: A purple blob with a–
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful_speak
+Marco: ...Oh! That's similar to the cover of the grimoire.
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal bounce
+Bard: Mhm! So that's how I made the connection, I guess.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/sad
+Bard: This alien had a whole tragic backstory, too. Because of her appearance, she was misunderstood by the other aliens, and treated like a monster...
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: ...but in truth, she was a valiant hero, helping others through the galaxy without getting anything in return. Only more insults.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/reflect
+Marco: ...A book judged by its cover, as the mortal saying goes.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused_speak
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Marco: So this alien still took the effort to help others? Even though they all treated her poorly?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused
+Bard: Yeah. She believed that, deep down, anyone could be a hero. As long as they set their hearts to it.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: One time, she was hitching a ride in the engine room of a spaceship, hiding until they got to the next spaceport. Then...
+$set_sprite bard bard/sweat
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/surprised
+Bard: BAM! The spaceship was attacked by bandits! It seemed like they wouldn't be able to survive the barrage of lasers, and the entire engine would fall off.
+Bard: But the alien managed to use her glue-like powers to hold the thrusters and the spaceship together, and thanks to her, they all managed to escape safe and sound.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful_speak
+Marco: Wow! That's quite the action.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful
+Bard: Yeah. She saved the day, and yet again, nobody even knew what she did.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: Aw... I think that it's bittersweet that the alien still has her resolve to help others, even if she gets no credit in the end.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/laugh
+Marco: I guess the story about that alien must have resonated with you that you would remember it so dearly, Bard.
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: Nah. I was just thinking about my cousin, really...

+Bard: [color=#b2b7d2](Hmm? What was that weird pause...?)[/color]
+Marco: ...Like I've told you, I've met many [color=#00ffff]souls[/color]. And they all told me their share of what it was like to be alive.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: And with each one – with each story –, I feel like I learn a little bit more about the world of the living.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+Bard: Would you like to go there and see for yourself, one day?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused_speak
+Marco: Go...where?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused
+Bard: Well, the [color=#00ffff]world of the living[/color], of course. Where I came from.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/crossed_arms
+Marco: But I can't simply abandon my job as a [color=#ff00ff]soul ferrier[/color].
+Marco: Therefore, my only contact with the mortal plane is hearing what [color=#00ffff]souls[/color] like you tell me... and [color=#ffff00]fishing[/color], of course.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: Well... At least, it must be nice, not being a mortal. It means that you won't die, or go through the bad parts of life.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/sad
+Marco: ...
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal

+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: Whew. Th-That's kinda hard to believe.

+Bard: ...
+Bard: You must think that the living world sucks.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/shocked
+Marco: Why?
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: Because you probably get a lot of dead people complaining about how the world isn't fair, and such.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused_speak
+Marco: Is that what you believe? That the world isn't fair?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused
+Bard: Yes...i-if my memory serves me right.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive_speak
+Marco: Hmm... From what I've heard, I only agree in part. It can be an unjust place, but it seems to have equal parts hurt and beauty.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive
+Bard: B-But I only seem to remember the ugly parts.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/playful_speak
+Marco: Ugly parts...? But all that you've told me is nice, isn't it? You certainly made them sound like fond memories.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: ...
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/neutral_speak
+Marco: Of course, each soul is unique. Some of them tell me good things, like you have! Others only focus on the bad parts.
+Marco: But regardless of optimism, all of them seem to regret not doing enough while they were alive, in one way or the other.
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/neutral
+Bard: ...D-Do you remember ferrying any remarkable soul?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/laugh

+Bard: No, but I mean... Any one that sticks out to you in particular? Someone that you think about a lot?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: Hmm... Oh! There was this lady who died of old age. Listening to her recount her own life was quite amazing.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+Bard: Yeah? What did she do?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/explain
+Marco: Nothing.
+Bard: ...
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/neutral
+Marco: ...
+$set_sprite bard bard/sweat bounce
+Bard: Nothing at all?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/crossed_arms
+Marco: Well, of course she did a lot. She didn't do anything remarkable by YOUR standards, though.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: [color=#b2b7d2](...Ouch. Perhaps Marco is right, I'm being too judgmental.)[/color]
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: U-Umm... Can you tell me about her?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/explain
+Marco: Well, she grew up in her dad's farm, and worked the fields until she got married.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive_speak
+Marco: Then she had children, then grandchildren, then great-grandchildren...and then, she passed away. In her sleep, she recalls.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/pensive
+Bard: She remembers passing away in her sleep...?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious_speak
+Marco: Every soul remembers how they died... But you're the exception, of course.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/curious
+Bard: ...That's all? Nothing that sticks out?
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: T-To you, I mean. I just don't understand why you'd remember her out of a million other people...
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/greet
+Marco: Well, I wouldn't do her justice if I gave you the short version. You had to hear it straight from her soul!
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/reflect
+Marco: Oh, but she had an astonishing memory, too! She kept diaries since she was young, and she wouldn't skip a single day. There wasn't a thing she didn't remember...!
+Marco: There were good and bad moments. But she really cherished them both, and seemed content with the life she'd led, and the example she'd set for her children.
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: Hmm... She sounds like the complete opposite of me.
+$set_sprite bard bard/face_away
+Bard: I kinda wish that my life had been that simple... On the other hand, I dunno if I could handle a quiet life in a farm.
+Bard: So she died with no regrets?
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/confused_speak
+Marco: Oh, she still had regrets, like everyone. Her grandchildren moved to the big city, and they kept struggling with money.
+Marco: She wished that she could've helped them more with their financial situation.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/crossed_arms
+Marco: She also wished that she still had her hearing when her great-grandson was born, so she could've heard him cry for the first time.
+$set_sprite bard bard/normal
+Bard: Oh... Th-That's so sad.
+$set_sprite marco marco_mask/neutral
