(You hold them.)
(Ah.)
(You glance up, and the Director is gone.) (Makes sense.)
...The creature is still alive? Huh.
The Director changed their mind about hurting it. Weird.
He didn't... do anything?
Hello... little... one...
You're safe now.
(Oh...)
(They're yours now.)
(They're going to depend on you.) (They need you to be kept safe.)
(Huh.)
Hello... "Pluto".
I'm sorry your introduction to this world was so terrible...
But, welcome, little one. It's going to get better.
...You wanted to have more kids, didn't you?
Yeah, I do.
...
...
I'm in my late twenties.
(OH.)
(WHOOPS?????)
Dusk won't die, I won't let him
[Overkill is made by Pedro and Sam]
transcript below:
Dusk won't die, I won't let him.
Uh huh. Dead meat over here said the same thing on loop 1.
I... did? What'd I say?
You both don't get it. With dead meat dying, that means dawn will give up and then this entire reflection will go with them and we'll all...
Stop assuming we're going to fail!
Yeah! We only have two games left-
One now. The Director cancelled game two.
Stars blast it, that quickly?! I didn't even get to see what it was!
I'm tired. I'm going to babysit your kid and do my best to pretend that this isn't the end of the world...
So... nothing different from what I do over here, ha.
Loop, please. Why are you so sure we can't beat the Director?
The loops won't end…
And… and the Director has never lost to the party. Their perfect play doesn't allow for it.
But they'll lose to a gun. There's never been a gun before, right?
That... is... true.
And that's from the Change God. They've never been involved in killing the Director before either.
See? This could be the final loop then.
There's never been two allied Siffrins in the Labyrinth together before either! We can ensure Mirabelle wins, I know we can!
Since when did YOU get optimistic?
Dawn was right. I got caught up in losing to the Director that I forgot that we're not here to play her games.
We're here to kill them.
And that means we're a team, and we don't listen to what the Director wants. We're not going to placate that black hole anymore!
You're... motivated. Real fired up about this. Why the sudden change?
I don't have much of a life, but I want to live it regardless.
I want to help Mirabelle save the world, and then I want to have a family with dawn.
That is... If they'd still be comfortable with that?
Gay ass.
...
Whoopsie poopsie! Did I say that out loud?!!

transcript below:
AhHAH!!! See, I told you they'd be here!!!
Oh yes, a successful Siffrin and Isa hunt. Good work, Boniface.
Hi Siffrin, hi Isabeau! And I assume Dusk? We found you!
Can we join you?
EVERYONE IS HERE!!!
Good to see you, everyone!!! And yes! I have caught a Dusk!
Hehe... and it's such a beautiful night… Was it your idea to come here, Isabeau?
It was!!! I'm kind of a spontaneous guy like that.
Under the stars, huh…
What a romantic throuple you three are. Very well done, Isabeau.
Wh-What? No, it wasn't romantic at all.
Just a pals outing. A buddy and a buddy and a buddy hangout. I, of course, would bring at least two of you here with me.
Uh huh.
I brought our food!!! So we can eat here!!!
A nightly picnic!
Oh, I can smell fish... Yummy…
Yeah, I made a lot! That cart Frin and I found had some fish too!
Does Dusk like fish?
"Who doesn't like fish?"
LOTS of people, Dusk! And they're WEIRD for it!
Hey, I'm not reely that much of a fin-anatic about fish.
"Oh, but I am. I'm CHUMMY with fish."
Frin, you can't pretend to have Dusk make puns.
No, that was actually him. I'm just as shocked as you are!
Heheh…
Now we'll be "punstoppable"!
(Isabeau is looking at dusk and you, smiling brightly.)
How wonderful! We could always use another jokester in the group.
We really do not.
NO! I want to be friends with Dusk! That means I will have to endure!!!
Or you could join us?
Um. I'll. I'll take this "punishment".
HAAHAHA! YES!!! ONE OF US!!!!
Dusk, what have you done? I will never forgive you. Consider our friendship is off the table.
"Pbbbt".
Was that you, Siffrin? Or was that Dusk.
Hm... both.
(Everyone starts laughing happily.)
(You laugh, too.)
(You're surrounded by your allies...)
(Your heart lifts.) (You love them all.)
(You're glad you got to spend time with them.) (You're glad you know them better.)
(You're glad--)
Dusk, your plate is looking a little empty. Eat some more!
(Dusk leans in close to whisper.)
Your party is spoiling me.
"Your"? Dusk, you're a party member too.
...Yeah. I guess I am.
(You all ate and laughed under the stars...)
(Later, after you've eaten, you feel your hand buzz.)
(You quickly explain what Call Craft is, and pick up.)
SIFFRENT! SIFFRENT! YOU FINALLY PICKED UP!!!!
Aw, hey Lupus... what's wrong?
I MISS YOU! I MISS YOU SOOOO MU-U-UCH!!!!!
I wanna snuggle and be in a bed and get my Siffy kissies! It's not fair! I miss you both and I wanna see you again!!!!!
-Sorry about that, dawn. Your kids feeling a little home sick. I couldn't stop them!
It's okay, um, we'll be together soon! I promise!
"Say hello everyone, they can all hear you."
HI EVERYONE! I'M LUPUS! YOUR FAVORITE LUPUS DUPUS!
(Everyone greets Lupus.) (And the call turns into a lengthy discussion about bugs and fish.)
Mmm... sleepy... I'm going to bed now... I love you! I love you all so much! Make sure my Siffrents don't have too much fun without me!
I assure you, we will be kill joys.
Goodnight, Lupus!
GOODNIGHT!!!!!
(Tomorrow, once again, you'll go into the Labyrinth, and play horrible games.)
(It'll hurt. And you will survive.)
(Because you have a family waiting for you to finish.)
Did you want to talk about something?
[Overkill is made by Pedro and Sam]
transcript below:
Did you want to talk about something?
...I keep thinking back to what we talked about.
(You can't remember.) (Something... about the future?)
I think... I've decided I'm going to try.
Try...?
Yeah. We'll be in survival mode for a while, but there'll be shops who'll need new apprenticeships. What do I have to lose?
That'd be great, Isa. Did you want to open your own shop some day?
Some day, maybe... A long, far, far away some day.
Well, I hope I can see it.
...
(Did you say something odd-)
(Oh.)
(How did you forget?)
...I mean, there's no guarantee I'll die tomorrow.
(There are only two games on floor three.) (You can make it.) (You WILL make it.)
So... even if things... get bad... I'm going to survive.
...Huh.
(He doesn't sound like he believes you.)
"Siffrin is stronger than you think."
"Stars! Siffrin is stronger than anyone you will ever meet, Isabeau."
"If anyone can survive this, it's them. Have some faith."
...Heh, I guess you probably know Sif better than I do.
Okay, you got me. I'll believe.
(The three of you fall into an easy silence.)
(It's nice.) (Everything just feels so nice.)
(You can faintly recall the horrible dread in your stomach.)
(The terror that made it so difficult to sleep.) (The finality of it all coursing through your veins.)
(It feels distant now.)
(You look at the same sky, and you know now you will see it again.)
(Except next time, it'll be clear.) (No more cracks.)
...Dusk, we've only just met, but you're really cool. I don't know if you noticed, but your ghost Curse scared me a little.
(It'd be hard not to notice.)
And I feel bad, because like, you're just a normal fella. You're mysterious, and yet so honest and thoughtful.
I don't know if you plan on staying for a while, but I'd like to get to know you. I'd like to be friends.
"I've only been friends with myself. It'd be nice to have someone else to talk to..."
...See? That's what I mean. That's such an interesting way of phrasing that. How could anyone not want to learn more about you?
And that's why... I'm sorry, Dusk. I hate that you felt you had to Curse yourself. That you ended up living like this.
I hope I'm not stepping in it by oversharing but... I can relate. To Curse yourself like that, you must have not liked the life you were living.
For the longest time, I felt like I was Cursing myself.
I've always wanted to be a fashion designer. It's something I denied myself for a lot of different reasons as I've changed in my life.
But at the heart of it, it's because I hate the person I am. That living my dream and being the person I wanted to be is something I couldn't do because I didn't deserve it.
I can't truly be friends with people. I can't bring justice. I can't protect anyone. I'm too late. Everything good is a sham, and I'm just another rotten piece of it.
...I still feel that way. Somewhat. But feeling that way tires me out. It makes me an even worse person.
So... I know you said you didn't want us to help you get cured. And sure, maybe that's more of Odile's thing than mine but...
I'd like to find a loophole and get you seen somehow. So you both could wear something I made.
Because... maybe... we don't need to Curse ourselves?
Maybe we're not as stuck as we thought. Maybe we're not as terrible. I don't know. I've been talking a lot.
"No, no, don't apologize. I liked hearing that."
"I don't know about forgiving myself. What I've done isn't something that'll be easy to live with. I don't think I'm going to get cured."
"But... I did discover it can get better."
"And I made a friend today."
"So... you did good. Good talk."
Hahaha!
Yeah, good words we spoke. Good chat. Good.
"Me perfect speaker. Oh my stars, dawn. Translate me better than this. You're failing your job."
Say better words then, stupid.
Woah! Was that a Sif insult I just heard? Aren't we lucky to witness such a rare event.
"Yeah. I'm so mean that I make Siffrin mean."
Then soon it won't be so uncommon. The future really is changing!

transcript below:
(You and dusk go over the basics of his Curse.) (It takes a while, but you eventually cover everything needed.)
"And he says he doesn't want help with a cure. I'd rather you all focus on curing Lupus."
...Lupus? The blood disease?
"No, that's our kid."
...Siffrin, is this a translation issue? What did they mean by "kid"?
We have a kid together. Their name is Lupus.
Siffrin's... child.
A mini-Frin...
(Yeah yeah, you let them do their usual gushing.)
"Lupus has a Curse that makes them "blank" out when overly upset or hurt. They'll be fine after, but they'll forget or be numbed by the event."
Doesn't that mean they can't feel pain? Isn't that a good thing?
Nah, negative feelings and pain are a part of life. You shouldn't just erase it. You have to confront it head on.
It's... difficult, but ignoring or covering it up only leads to more harm.
And I sincerely doubt it's as perfect as you describe. When something sounds "too good to be true", it likely isn't.
Have you noticed any lingering effects to their psyche?
What do you mean?
The pain may resurface. Do they have nightmares? Fears? "Random" outbursts?
"Yeah, I've noticed nightmares and nonsensical crying. They won't even know why it's happening. They're infrequent, but they do happen."
(Nightmares...) (Those must have been before arriving to Dormont.) (But they did have one, several loops ago.)
(And that was after their outburst after Mirabelle failed to get the head housemaiden office statue to work for her.)
(It stood out to you, because seemingly nothing set them off?)
Where is Lupus? I could try to question them about this Curse.
"They should be arriving... late tomorrow."
That's after we complete the Labyrinth.
Oh...
Could we delay going in another day?
What? But we planned for tomorrow! Do you think we can't do it?
I want us to go. We can't waste time.
Siffrin has a point. We're risking enough waiting until tomorrow as it is. We are overdue for a sky fall.
This crabbing sucks!
Yep. It sure does! Let's uh.
Hey, we're having a party! Who wants snacks?
See yourself... haha!
[Overkill is made by Pedro and Sam]
transcript below:
I'll see myself... haha!
...
I uh, want to see myself. In the mirror, I mean. I'm trying to do a jokes.
Cracked earth and skies, Siffrin.
Well, there we have it. If he's well enough to joke, he can walk himself around.
I- But? I-???
The damage is done. We need to get a move on.
If the Director is in that room, it's likely to hold the last game. We need to go there anyway.
...Okay. But stay close.
Dawn, are you sure you're up for walking? Isabeau could carry you again.
I'm fine, dusk.
(Ohhh, you're excited.) (You have to restrain yourself from adding a kick to your step.)
(You want to see the Director bad bleed! You want to see it sooo bad!)
(What vomit inducing colors are you going to see next?)
(How pretty~!)
talk with the daydreamer?
[Overkill is made by Pedro and Sam]
transcript below:
Hm... Hu-hu-hum...
(The woman is daydreaming, singing softly under her breath.)
Oh, hi! You're one of the saviors, aren't you! I recognize you!
And you traveled with a few people, right! You traveled with, um...
...Mirabelle?
Mirabelle!!! I know her, she's from here!!!
What a wonderful young woman. I never talked to her much, though!
But what a different air around her, right? She looks super ready for tomorrow.
(You nod. She's never wavered over tomorrow.)
She must be the older sister of the group! Oh, I always wanted a sister, you all are so lucky to have her!
(A sister...) (Huh. You wonder if Lupus had any siblings before they lost their family.)
Wait, hold on. That's strange. Didn't she mention her sister last time?
(Did she?) Don't you have a sister?
I... I don't? I just said I'm an only child, silly!
(…You want to ask her more, but she's already back to her daydream.)
No, that's not right. I remember! She went to Ka Bue, and then Lupus was called an old soul!
(You remember now!) (Lupus kept bringing that up afterward.) (They liked the idea of being old.)
(WUH! Dusk grabs the daydreamer's dress?!)
Ah! My dress, it's-?
Dawn, ask her why she's lying.
(You shake your head!) (You're NOT doing that?!!)
Dawn, come on, I can't do it myself.
(…You're being a bad translator.)
H-Hey, sorry, but my invisible friend wants to talk to you.
Your... invisible friend?
Yeah. They're right here.
I believe you. I can sense a kind, yet troubled soul.
[Overkill is made by Pedro and Sam]
transcript below:
(Dusk opens and closes his fists repeatedly.) (You don't understand why they're getting so worked up.)
Is it another food?
Oh, absolutely not.
How about an object?
Yep! It sure is.
Oh! Then maybe it's a book? Those are specific!
Clever, but I wouldn't want to pick something someone might not even know exists!
"Dusk asks if it's a clothing item."
It's n-
Wait, actually? It kind of is? One might wear one to be fashionable.
(What a confusing answer???)
