12 11 301 Luna blanks out shortly from Alpha's words. As if realizing the unusual expression she is wearing, she quickly adjusts and returns to normal.

14 13 301 Luna It's nothing. 2
15 14 301 α It's okay. Tell me when you feel like it. 1
16 15 301 Luna ...Yeah. 2
17 506 204 1
18 16 301 α Anyways... Now that that's over, what next? 1
19 17 301 Luna ... 2
20 18 202 1 2
21 19 401 1 210
22 20 301 At Alpha's question, Luna lowers her head in thought. Alpha stands by her in wait, glancing at the surrounding scenery. The sea breeze blows in the scent of summer, rustling the coconut trees on the beach.
23 21 201 1 500100
24 22 301 1 α If the next step's not decided yet... Why not relax a little here? 1

26 24 201 2 500165 400
27 26 301 1 Lamia Yay...! A million yays...! 2
28 27 301 Lamia suddenly emerges from the sea and claps her hands excitedly. She claps a scant few times before freezing when she realizes Alpha's blade is on her neck.
29 28 301 Lamia Eep— 2
30 29 301 α Wasn't asking you. 1
31 30 301 α And I've warned you. Don't go invisible around me. Read the room before you pop out. 1
32 31 301 Lamia Sorry! I'll be careful next time! 2
33 32 301 α I've heard that more than enough. Looks like you need a few broken legs to remember. 1
34 33 301 PanelActor2Shake 1 Lamia Eeeep! 2
35 34 202 1 2
36 35 301 Lamia struggles, desperately, even stealing glances at Luna in plea for help. Seeing the two, a light chirp escapes Luna's lips.
37 36 201 1 500105 13
38 37 301 1 Luna (Chuckles) 1
39 38 301 Alpha and Lamia pause at Luna's laugh. Luna shakes her head and speaks.
40 39 301 Luna If you say so, Sis. Then let's take a rest. 1
41 40 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Luna ...We'll rest all that we can before the Babylonia reinforcements arrive. 1
45 43 301 AniZhuanchangEnd The summer heat did not falter even at night. The night breeze, brought over by the sea, is a wave of turgid humidity. Unpleasant though it may be, it does nothing to damper the enthusiasm of those at the beach.
46 44 301 The crowd from Babylonia are holding a grand celebration on the beach. In contrast, the walkway is cold and empty.
47 45 401 2 1516
48 46 301 Footfalls pitter and patter from one end of the walkway, infusing this desolate street with a hint of liveliness.

50 48 201 2 500165 1 400
51 49 301 1 Lamia Finally... I get to relax a little... 2
52 50 301 α Finally? I don't see any difference from your usual self. 1
53 51 204 2
54 52 301 Lamia Um... At least there's no missions or work stuff! Mentally, I get to relax! 2
55 53 204 2 8
56 54 301 Lamia ...But, there'll be work after this break... Noooo, cruel world... Despair... 2
57 55 204 1
58 56 301 α Is your emotion module working fine? 1
59 57 204 2
60 58 301 Lamia Lamia's stats are normal! 2
61 59 301 Lamia ...Why can't we be like the people in the poster over there, relaxing on the beach in our swimsuits with snacks in our hands? 2
62 60 301 Lamia Doing nothing... Thinking about nothing... No despair, no nothing... 2
63 61 301 Lamia ... 2
64 62 301 α Why are you staring at us? 1
65 63 301 Lamia goes from gabbling to silence, staring at Luna and Alpha.
66 64 301 Lamia I'm imagining you both on the beach in swimsuits. The thought itself scares me, so forget it. 2
67 65 301 α ... 1
68 66 301 Lamia Aaaaa... Come to think of it, even swimsuits are meaningless for us... I guess... swimsuits are only destined for cute little humans... 2
69 67 301 α Should we set off some fireworks? 1
70 68 301 Lamia I mean... there's no point. But yes. 2
71 69 202 1 2
72 70 301 Alpha interrupts the Lamia radiating with negativity by thrusting her a bundle of fireworks she found somewhere. Lamia receives the fireworks, raising them like a flag as she slithers toward the beach.

74 72 201 2 500105 400
75 73 301 1 α Let's go have a look at that store over there. 1
76 74 301 Luna Did you see something you want? 2
77 75 301 α Yeah. 1
78 76 401 2 1516
79 77 301 Alpha nods, and brings Luna to one of the stores along the pedestrian walkway.
80 78 301 The inside of the shop is a practical Shark-speare paradise. Shark-speare plushies, Shark-speare ads, and more. A big sign, hanging in front of the store counter, reads: Opening sale, 70% off.
81 79 301 Luna Looks like a place that sells shark souvenirs. 2
82 80 301 α Not just sharks. Look at this. 1
83 81 301 As Alpha speaks, she filches out a mini frog plushie from behind a pile of Shark-speare plushies and hands it to Luna.
84 82 204 2 13
85 83 301 Luna Why is this everywhere? 2
86 84 301 α Not a bad thing, though? 1
87 85 301 Luna Well, since you're giving me a souvenir, I'll pick something for you too. 2
101 98 301 DialogEnable 1 Luna Sis, if we can return to being Constructs, what would you do? 1
102 99 301 α Same thing right now. Whatever happens, I will still be by your side. That's all. 2
103 100 301 α Besides, there's no what-ifs in this world. 2
104 101 301 Alpha replies to Luna's sudden question without much thought, but it draws out a long silence from Luna. Alpha stops in her tracks when she realizes Luna is behind, staring at her with a stern expression.
105 102 301 Luna What if there are? 1
106 103 301 α ...You mean Shome's research? 2
107 104 301 Luna ...Yeah. 1
108 105 301 Luna Shome only saw one side of his research, but there is another side that no one's noticed. 1
109 106 301 Luna At the end on that other side lies the true "origin." 1
110 107 301 α ... 2
111 108 301 A gust of sea breeze washes over. The stifling heat seems to be finally dying down. The night is now carrying a hint of chilling cold instead. Luna raises her head to look at the Alpha beside her and speaks.
112 109 204 1 14
113 110 301 Luna I'm a little tired, Sis. 1
114 111 301 α Let's go sit over there. 2
115 112 202 1 2
116 113 301 Holding Luna's hand, Alpha sits down on a bench next to the pedestrian walkway with Luna. Luna leans her head on Alpha's shoulder and closes her eyes.
117 114 401 2 1508
118 115 301 Strange sounds travel over from the beach. Looking at where it came from, Alpha discovers several Corrupted on the beach banging on musical instruments.
119 116 201 1 500186
120 117 301 1 α ...Preset performances? 1
121 118 301 α ...A bit too rowdy. 1
122 600 204 1 1
123 119 301 α I'll be right back. 1
124 120 202 1
125 121 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Alpha draws her weapon and zips toward the Corrupted on the beach.
