3 3 301 DialogEnable Breezy night. White beaches. Salty air.
4 4 301 You push yourself up from the sand. Some seems to have gotten into your mouth.
5 5 302 ...Bleugh. 6
6 6 301 This place is... Venus Splash Park.
7 7 301 Unlike the last time you were here, you see the entire water park ablaze with lights. Joyous Golden Age tunes, played by an accordion, wander into your ears.
8 8 301 You walk toward the water park. On your way there, you see more and more service robots.
9 9 401 1 205
10 10 301 Cathy? Have a lookie! Have a gander! Would you like a live performance, friend?
11 11 301 Martini? Hey buddy, want a glass of martini?
12 12 301 Deftly rotating the wheel beneath it, the service robot slides before you while holding a plate with two of its arms. It bows using the other two mechanical arms in a gentlemanly manner.
13 13 302 No thanks... 14 (Now's not the time for this.) 14
14 14 301 Martini? Ahah, right! Underage drinking is illegal.
15 15 301 The robot announces in a blaring robotic tone. It turns, splashing you with some of the content inside the glasses. Proceeding to completely ignore you, it continues on its quest to provide martini for humans.
16 16 302 ... 17 ...Underage? 17
17 17 301 Cathy? A customer! A customer! Another one! Another customer!
18 18 302 Another? 19 Are there other people here? 19
19 19 301 Cathy? Please, good fellow. Come with me! Come with me!
20 20 301 The dainty looking robot jumps up and down before you. It must have too much energy.
23 22 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Cathy? The greatest performance is now live at Venus Splash Park!
24 23 301 The robot tugs you, leading you before a building. You see the watermelon A'Mao selling ice cream and souvenirs there. Several other robots are also cheerfully giving away snacks and toys.
25 24 301 A'Mao? Here, kiddo. Have this.
26 25 302 No thanks... 26 Uh, thanks. 28
27 26 301 Completely ignoring your response, the watermelon stuffs a multicolored package into your hands.
28 27 302 ...Fine. 28
29 28 301 A'Mao? Yay! Haha! Yay!
30 29 301 Seeing you receive the gift, the watermelon cheerily yelps and rolls away into the distance.
34 33 301 AniZhuanchangEnd The Cathy unit eventually leads you to a theater hall. You make out a banner scrawled with crayoned letters of "Death of Shome" on top of the stage.
35 34 302 ...What kind of cult is this? 35
36 35 301 You look for Luna in the dim-lit spectator area, but instead find every other single robot gazing heatedly at you. Their eyes flicker in an eerie sheen, looking all the more terrifying in the darkness.
37 36 302 ...Let's not try anything, just yet.
38 37 201 1 500177
39 38 301 1 Shark-speare? Showtime! Showtime! 1
40 39 301 A spotlight flares up in the middle of the theater stage. Shark-speare, who has gotten on it since who-knows-when, is heralding the start of the show.
41 40 301 Shark-speare? Showtime! Showtime! 1
42 41 301 Shark-speare's head falls off, revealing Shome's face inside, indignantly blinking.
43 42 401 1 202
44 43 201 1 500178
45 44 301 1 Shome? Luna, do you really think you have everything under your control? 1
46 45 301 Shome? Do you really think no one knows what you're planning? 1
47 46 301 Shome? You must be disappointed! Before you learned of the truth from me, have you ever thought that you'd be stripped of your status as an agent? 1
48 47 301 Shome? How does it feel when things go awry? But this is nothing! NOTHING, compared to the pain you have caused in others...! 1
49 48 301 Shome? You will NEVER find happiness in your life! Not this one, not your next, or the one after! 1
50 49 301 Shome? Repent by suffering for a thousandfold the pain you've caused! You deserve this! And your sister too, must bear the burden of your sin... 1
51 996 202 1
52 51 301 Luna ...Shut up!
53 52 301 Luna's voice reverberates from a corner in the darkness, audibly irate. The robots all stare at her fixedly.
54 53 301 Luna Why... are you all looking at me like that...
55 54 301 Luna No... Go away!
56 55 302 Luna! 57
57 57 301 In the few moments where you were taken by the play, the robots seem to have grown in numbers. You try to leave your seat, but the walls upon walls of steel block your way. The darkness does little to help you find Luna.
58 58 302 ...The stage. 59
59 59 301 Fumbling around, you manage to crawl to the stage. You pull apart the heavy curtains and somehow find the spotlights trained upon you.
60 60 302 Hey! Look over here! 61 Free her! 61
61 61 301 You catch the attention of the robots. They rush at you, like ants swarming around honey.
62 62 301 With the mechanoids dispersed around her, you see that Luna has been standing next to the exit.
63 63 201 1 500238 4
64 64 301 1 Luna ... 1
65 65 301 She notices your gaze, but there is a lost expression about her. Her eyes meet yours over the sheets of mechanoids in the spectator seats, eventually focusing on them.
66 66 302 Stay there. 67
67 67 301 You mouth the words. You cannot tell if she heard you, but she does stand there, still and silent.
68 68 202 1 1
69 69 301 Looking around, you settle your sights on a banner around the stage, one dangling with balloons and ribbons.
70 70 301 You fish out the gift the watermelon gave you earlier and fashion a lasso out of the packaging ribbon. Giving it a good throw, it latches onto the banner. Then testing it for integrity, you hop and take to the air.

72 888 401 2 1512
73 71 301 As the wall grows closer and closer, you let go, mentally judging the distance. You land perfectly... with a thud, right next to a mechanoid.
74 72 201 1 500238 4
75 73 301 1 Luna ... 1
76 74 302 I'm fine! 75 Just a tiny accident. 75
77 75 301 The mechanoids take immediate notice of you. Without another word, you grab Luna's hand and run.
78 76 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Just like the last time.
89 86 301 AniZhuanchangEnd You both hurtle out of the theater, leaving behind everything—the lights, the music, the bands of mechanoids. Only the whistling wind grazes the two of you.
90 87 301 Luna's hand is slender, delicate to the point that it feels brittle. To think such world-ending power hides within...
91 88 301 The ethereal lightness of Luna almost gives you an illusion that you are flying a kite by dragging her along.
92 89 301 And so, the two of you reach the entrance of the tallest building in the water park... the Ferris Wheel.
93 90 302 ... 91
94 91 201 1 500238
95 92 301 1 Luna Is this... the highest place? 1
96 93 302 It should be... 94 Just one thing... 94
97 94 202 1 1
98 95 301 The Ferris Wheel looks nothing like you remember. Where there should have been glass capsules are instead pairs upon pairs of roundabout horses.
99 96 301 The roundabout horses, exuding a warm orange radiance, are circling each other and rising from the Ferris Wheel. Some mad genius must have decided to... glue a bunch of roundabouts to the attraction.
100 97 302 This doesn't look safe at all... 98 No choice... 98
101 98 301 As a horse passes in front of you, you grab its head and hop on. You turn to look at Luna.
102 99 302 Come on! 100 (Extend your hand) 100
103 100 201 1 500238 4
104 101 301 1 Luna ... 1
105 102 202 1 1
106 103 301 Behind her, the mechanoids are screeching in terrible noises and closing in.
107 104 301 The world parts into two, freezing in time—one of a terrifying nightmare, and one of a dreamy wonderland. Luna is caught in-between, looking over at you.
108 106 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Then she takes a step forward and catches your hand. And with that, time ticks again.
