Dialogue

*pant* *pant* N-no! Stay away! Aaaaah! Gotcha! Now let's get you back to— No! Lemme GOOOO! ...Disgusting. Uuurk! It's you... You okay? Yeah. ...So hey. Listen. Hmm? One day, everything that brings you happiness will be gone. And the more happiness you feel, the greater the sadness will be when that time comes. That's why you shouldn't go back to the village. Wh-why are you saying that? You're going to have to live for a very long time—longer than your friends in the village, and longer than your parents. And once you have to say goodbye to all of that, all that will be left inside of you will be...rain. It will rain forever in your heart; an eternal downpour of loneliness. Lonely rain...? Yes. But it doesn't have to be like that; I can take you to a sylvan village so you can be with your own kind. If you leave your parents now, you won't have to face the pain of saying goodbye later. No. What? I promised Mama and Papa that we'd go into town together soon, and it's bad to break your promises. You... I wanna do that AND a bunch of other fun stuff with them, so I'm going home!  ! But I need MORE good memories to stuff in the vault, which is why I'm always tryin' to search out fun stuff. (More memories for the vault in your heart...) Fine. If that's what you want, I'll take you back home. Yay!

...It's too quiet here. Where is everyone? Where's Nadine? Liiiiiiiiiiin! Over heeeeeeere! Weeeell? I did pretty good, huh? Better to have perished in battle than be captured by this foolish slip of a girl! You caught the commander! Does that mean...? Heck yeah! Our united front saved the day! ...It sure did.

Papa! Mama! Oh, my child! Were you scared? Did they hurt you? No. The nice lady saved me. ...... It's you... Thank you so much, miss. I just brought her back like she wanted. ...I'm going now bye. Wait! ...What? My wife and I have been thinking about what you told us. It's exactly as you say: No matter how much care we put into raising her, we will be gone from this world while she is still beginning her time in it. That's right. She'll be alone for a long, long time. And we understand that. However... Even when we are gone, she will still meet new people that support her— and that she will support in turn.  ! That's why we want to leave her with proof that she was loved—so she can carry those memories with her forever. So long as she has those in her heart, I'm certain she will be happy. That's...!

(Is that how my parents felt?) (Did they try to leave me with a lifetime of happy memories?) (If so, then I...) Lin! Nadine! *gasp* Girl, you remembered my name! Omigosh, I can't EVEN with you! Are we BFFs now?! How could I forget it when you never stop talking to me? Now, what did you want? Oh, right! So I wanna commemorate our glorious victory before prince dude and all those other folks get back. Let's snap a few pics so we'll never forget all the great memories we made! Great...memories? You mean...you'll remember me? Duh! Of COURSE I'll remember you! ...Hey, wait. Are you, like, camera shy? Have I actually been super annoying you this entire time? ...That's not it. I...want to be in a picture with you. Seriously? You're not just doing this to shut me up or whatever? No. When I saw your pictures, I knew I wanted to be in one. No lonely rain will ever fall in your pretty pictures. Holy crap, that is, like, a poem... Okay, then cram in here so we can make a new memory, girl! Oh, wait! We need a good background! Let's go get the boat and bring it around. That seems like a lot of work. There are no compromises when it comes to making good memories! Well, I suppose it should look nice... See, I knew you'd get it. Now let's get going! 'Cause our next mission together is to find the best shot of us EVER!
