TTOS version of the act 6 fall from ISAT
Mirabelle: Tell us what you wished for, come on.
Odile: Tell us! I could yell this at you if you don't!
Bonnie: Just tell us already!
Loop: (…) "…But…"
Loop: "But I don't want to say it."
Loop: "I'm scared to say it."
Mirabelle: What are you scared of?
Loop: "That if I tell you, something terrible will happen."
Odile: But we REALLY wanna know, Loop.
Odile: I still have some fight in me, I think we could kick your butt again so you tell us?
Isabeau: Yeah! If we do, you'll say it eventually, right?
Bonnie: We should try it out.
Mirabelle: Everyone, violence is NOT the answer!
Mirabelle: ...But I am in the mood for more butt kicking if you don't spit it out right now, yes.
(Against your will, a nervous laugh escapes you.)
(Everyone grins your way.)
(If you say it, something terrible will happen, you think, but…)
(Could it be worse than what already happened?)
(You breathe in. And out.)
Loop: (Surely not.) "I, um..."
Loop: "I wished..."
Loop: "I wished to visit more places with Mirabelle."
Mirabelle: Oh... OH!!!!!
Mirabelle: Hihihi, that is so sweet of you, Loopie! I would also love that!
Bonnie: That's a very cute wish, Loop.
(Your heart feels tight.)
(But that wasn't it, was it?)
(If that was all your wish was, then you wouldn't be here.)
(You wished for that, yes, from the bottom of your heart, but…)
<(You've admired Mirabelle ever since you've met her...)>
Loop: "Deep down, I wished...."
<(She was always trying to make you feel like you belonged among this group, not caring that you were this different from everyone. And you've learned a lot of things from her, and even if you forgot, she was happy to explain it again, not matter how many times.)>
<(You'd like to continue travelling with her, learning more about this country, and to learn more about her life as well.)>
<(You want to stay with them!)>
Loop: "I… I wished I could just stay with everyone…!!!"
Loop: "When we win against Euphrasie, then our journey ends, doesn't it?"
Loop: "Isabeau will go back to the House, Bonnie to Bambouche..."
Loop: "And I know that Mirabelle and Odile will probably continue travelling..."
Loop: "But they at least have places to go after that!"
Loop: "But I-- I don't have anywhere to go to! I don't have a home!"
Loop: "If we win, then you'll all leave!"
Loop: "And I don't-- I don't want that at all!"
Loop: "I just want to stay with all of you!!!"
Loop: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I know it's not fair! I know you have your own journeys to go back to!"
Loop: "And I know I should be fine with leaving, because you're fine with it, too!"
Loop: "I-It's fine that this journey meant more to me than to all of you!"
Loop: "And that, as soon as this journey is over, you'll forget me!"
Loop: "But I didn't-- I don't wanna be alone!"
Loop: "And I didn't mean to do that, I didn't mean to trap everyone here, but I--"
Isabeau: Loop...
Isabeau: Is that really what you thought…?
Isabeau: That we didn't care for you? That we'd forget all about you, as soon as this journey is over?!
Isabeau: I don't want to forget the times we all had together.
Isabeau: And I wouldn't want to never talk to any of you again, either!
Isabeau: And--And I don't have to stay here to Change! I would love to leave, to keep traveling! I've been thinking that for a while!!!
Isabeau: But… But it's just wishful thinking, isn't it? I don't… I don't know if everyone...
Odile: Heh...
Odile: It's true that I have a home in Ka Bue....
Odile: But.... I don't wanna go back there.
Odile: It's been fun travelling with you doofuses. I don't think I can go back to travelling by myself after this.
Odile: Plus how can I miss out on all the invaluable knowledge Mirabelle has.
Mirabelle: But… Yeah, I… It's the same for me.
Mirabelle: I have connections with all of you I've never had with anyone else!
Mirabelle: Even if it's just for a bit, I want to keep traveling with everyone! And after that, I want to keep in contact with everyone!
Mirabelle: I want to meet Nille when Bonbon goes back to her. I want to see how Odile grows up and what she thinks about Vaugardian culture. I want to see Isabeau change and become what he always wanted to be.
Mirabelle: And I want to get to know you more, Loopie! Talk to you more, be with you more!
Mirabelle: I want to be with everyone for a long, long time!!!
Bonnie: I.... I never knew we all agreed on this.
Bonnie: I wanted to go back to Nille, but I could continue journeying with you after that.
Bonnie: I even wanted to ask some of you about this, but never found the courage, I guess.
Bonnie: It's.... genuinely fun to travel with you all.
Bonnie: I don't think I've ever had so much fun with friends, even through all the hardships we faced.
Bonnie: And now that this quest is over, nothing is stopping us, right?
Isabeau: Loop!
Isabeau: We want to stay with you, too.
Isabeau: It's not just you!
Mirabelle: This journey won't be over yet, not if we have anything to say about it!
Bonnie: And even when it ends, it won't be the end. We'll all stay in each other's lives for a long, long time.
Odile: Yeah!!!
Odile: So stop being stupid and thinking we'll forget you or whatever, because we won't, you dummy!
(The world around you went back to normal.)
(Your entire body hurts.)
(After all those battles, after everything, walking around is all you're managing to do right now.)
(But you feel refreshed, too.)
Odile: ...So, in the end... you love us so much you wished to stay with us so hard you almost broke the world?
Odile: I'm impressed... but also I'm concerned now.
Bonnie: Yeah, I thought my parents had issues, but this is something else.
Isabeau: I think it's sweet!
Mirabelle: Right? Ending the world for love is what good stories are made of!
Loop: "I'm sorry."
Loop: "For everything."
Loop: "For saying all those things yesterday."
Isabeau: I think I'm speaking for everybody when I say we forgive you, but we reserve the right to be mad about it later.
Odile: Oh, I'll be mad!
Odile: Later. After a good meal and a good night's sleep. I don't think I have the energy to be angry now.
(It's fine even if they don't forgive you for a bit.)
Loop: "And, uh, for unknowingly trapping you all in time."
Isabeau: ...Well, that one should be fine, right?
Mirabelle: Right, we don't remember anything from that, so it's not an issue.
Odile: Though now I have a lot of questions for you.
Bonnie: I think those can wait for later.
Odile: Of course. You still have things to apologize for.
Loop: (Um...) "What else??? I'm sorry....."
Isabeau: Apologize for not talking to us about everything, dummy!!!
Odile: Yeah, dummy! We could've helped, dummy!
Odile: ...Not sure if I could've helped actually.
Odile: The adults could've helped, at least!!!
Bonnie: We could have. If you had talked to us about it!
Mirabelle: About the loops, about how you felt, about how you wanted to keep traveling together!
Loop: "W-Well, uh, well…"
Loop: "None of you said you wanted to keep traveling together either!!!"
Isabeau: Well… That's true...
Isabeau: But this is YOUR apology tour. We can have one later.
(You surprise everyone by laughing.)
(Everyone laughs with you.)
Bonnie: Okay, that was cute and all, but we need to decide what we do next.
Odile: You wanted to check up on your sister, remember?
Bonnie: Oh, right!
Bonnie: Probably need to get back to Bambouche to make sure she is okay. Maybe should send a message in advance actually so she doesn't worry about my absence in the meantime.
Bonnie: And after that... Well, we will see, I guess. I don't think she will mind me travelling more once she knows I'm okay.
Mirabelle: Maybe she will even want to join us!
Loop: "Sounds good to me!"
Isabeau: Actually, there is another issue....
Isabeau: Odile, you don't need to go back to anywhere for sure, right?
Bonnie: Yeah, otherwise you travelling with us will be something called a "kidnapping".
Odile: Yeah, I am completely free.
Odile: I-I think at least. Maybe we should also do something about that so that I'm not counted as missing or something.
(...Wait, did she leave without notifying anyone???)
(...You'll have to worry about it later.)
Isabeau: ....Wait.
Isabeau: WAIT.
Isabeau: THE HEAD HOUSEMAIDEN!!!
<Kings walks up to the party from down the stairs.>
King: Hahaha! Don't worry about me, everyone!
Isabeau: H-Head Housemaiden! You're okay!!
King: As good as ever! I was just staying away for a little bit.
King: You all seemed like you needed to talk, so I was patiently waiting for you all to finish your conversation!
Odile: How considerate of you.
Mirabelle: REALLY considerate of you, King!
Mirabelle: Sorry for forgetting about you for a bit.
Loop: "Also, sorry for throwing you earlier."
King: Hahahaha! Don't worry!
King: I haven't had this much fun since reading the last issue of "The Cursing of Château Castle"!!!
King: I do feel awfully dizzy though. I have a wicked headache, like I've been using Crafts too much!
King: Have I said anything strange?
Mirabelle: It felt like you were taken over by whatever was happening to the world…
Loop: (...) "You..."
Loop: "You said the things you always say when I come and talk to you."
Loop: "About how the world is rotting."
Loop: "And you can't do anything to help."
King: Huh! Interesting!
King: Well, I don't feel like saying it now!
King: Or at all! The air is nice and fresh.
King: It's just a beautiful day, isn't it?
Mirabelle: Well, there's that I guess!
King: …
King: Travelling one… Loop…
King: I'm sure you must have a lot to talk about with everyone.
King: But be sure to talk to me when you're all done!
King: So I can happily bless you and your companions' new journey!!!
(Before that, though....)
Loop: "....Everyone, I...."
Loop: "I think I have one more thing to apologize for..."
Mirabelle: What is it, Loopie?
Loop: (You grab the rims of your hood.) "I'm sorry for....."
Loop: "I'm sorry for not trusting you enough to see my face."
Mirabelle: You-you're....
(....You immediately want to hide back.)
Mirabelle: You're so lovely!!!
Odile: I have so many questions.
(They are your friends, Loop, come on!)
King: Oh my!
King: ...Well, my words still stand. Come to me after you've talked to everyone!
