Mr. and Mrs. Shroud: *having recognized at first glance that Pain and Panic were the well-known henchmen of the Lord of the Underworld, are now verifying the reason for their appearance*
Mr. Shroud: I understand that this may be frightening, but I assure you that no harm shall befall you. We are merely here to ask a few questions.
Pain: We're doomed! They're gonna torture us!
Pain: N-No, no, no! Please don't! We swear we're not here to cause trouble! We're just here for MC!
Pain and Panic: *hugs each other, crying*
Mrs. Shroud: Are you trying to make us look bad? How mean of you. Hmph! Even so, something like that might happen if you don't tell us right this instant why you've come to see us. We certainly wouldn't want anything unfortunate happening to the esteemed henchmen of the King of the Underworld, now would we?
Mr. Shroud: Boss, you're scaring them even more.
Pain: Our henchkid wandered off, and we need to get 'em back right now! Do you have any idea what Hades'll do to us if we lose 'em?! We're dead! We're so dead!
Panic: P-Please, just let us do our job so we can be on our merry—er, dreadful—way!
Mrs. Shroud: Oh dear. Am I to assume that you've come here to... kill MC?
Pain: Uh... sorta? I mean, technically, yeah. We need 'em dead.
Panic: P-Pain… I have a bad feeling they did NOT like what you just said…
Child MC: Idia, what are you making me wear?
Idia: Noise-cancelling headphones.
Child MC: Noise-cancelling?
Idia: I’ve got important stuff to deal with. Not for outsiders… and you’re kinda really gossipy.
Child MC: How can I gossip? I don't even get to go outside alone... *sad frowns*
Idia: Alright, alright… I take it back. But seriously, important stuff. Just… keep this on and—uh—enjoy the gummy bears.
Child MC: You kill baby bears and make them candy?
Idia: What—no! Those are sugar shaped like bears. Same for the gummy worms you had last time.
Child MC: Oh... So that's why they were not wriggling...
Idia: Yeah, anyway... Cartoons might be better. That should keep you occupied.
Child MC: Can I have one with a love story in it?
Idia: The kid's busy. What now?
Mr. Shroud: Idia, I’m sure you’re familiar with the two henchmen of the Lord of the Underworld.
Idia: Yeah, they show up in kids' stories a lot. Why?
Mr. Shroud: We have them.
Mr. Shroud: They are currently being detained, and they insist that they need to take MC back.
Mr. Shroud: Your mother is furious, but I believe they might be connected to them. Do you think it’s a good idea to let them meet?
Idia: Dad, even if they’re “from the legends,” that doesn’t mean we just accept whatever they say.
Mr. Shroud: I see. You're right.
Mr. Shroud: What's MC doing?
Idia: They're watching some sappy love story.
