Nino: Aria? Nino: Aria, come on! She's... She's not responding at all. This is probably really, really terrible for her. Nino: Aria, listen to me. Nino: Kotori attacked you!! She betrayed you! Nino: That's why there's no way you can trust her anymore. Nino: You can't just sit here and do nothing. Nino: We'll all be in danger if we don't run away now. Nino: So please, let's go. Kotori: Reevaluate your plan. Well. This is what you get for trying to stand up against destiny. Nothing left to do now other than observing this story unfold. ???: So. ???: Just so we're clear. ???: Once we hit the fork, you go, and I turn back. ???: Sure, sure. ???: You execute whatever plan you have, and I'll, uh. ???:…

A weak parry attempt is made. Alas, the power of surprise is far too great to overcome quickly enough. Nino: Attempt to knock Kotori out, but don't try to kill. Of course you're not killing anyone! You just need some sort of... Nino: Show her your stabs. ...distraction! Nino: No one needs to die today. And there's your distraction. Your heart is beating so fast, you're doing nothing but relying on instinct. Turns out, your instinct got kind of... bloody. You think you almost cut off an arm there. No time to dwell on that though. There are far more pressing matters to be addressed right now! Nino: Aria, Five!! Nino: Are you alright? Five: N...Nino! Nino: We have to get out of here! Hurry!

Kotori: God dammit. Kotori: Each one of you just makes this harder and harder to do. Kotori: I can see you shaking, stop trying to act like you aren't scared! Kotori: I'm scared too! Kotori: Even though I'm supposed to do the right thing, Kotori: I don't know what the right thing IS! Kotori: I just have to believe that this is all inevitable, and move on. Kotori: T-this really is your last chance, so move now. Kotori: Before I do something regrettable! Five: ... Five: N... Five: ...Nino? Kotori: Huh? Nin- Kotori: Turn around.

Kotori: You probably won't forgive me for this, ever. Kotori: I know I won't forgive myself either. Kotori: But things have to change eventually. Kotori: I can't look back anymore. Kotori: These days won't keep repeating like a reborn flower. Kotori: So I've accepted the fact that it has to end, and it will end today. Kotori: You too have to accept that. Villagers: Shun the human. Kotori: It's over, Aria. Kotori: You're coming with me to the execution cenote. Camera: Cut to Nino, double quick! What? What's so important about this guy? Look at this piece of shit. All he's doing is uselessly fiddling with a flower, while important people are POSSIBLY BEING MURDERED AS WE SPEAK. What a bag of douche. Let's be this guy. You are now…

Aria: Just dodge out of the way! It's too late for that now. Aria is too taken aback to do anything.

You wonder what Kotori's doing all the way out here? Hey, she's probably seen Nino if she's here! You cheerfully call out to your friend. Aria: Kotori!! Aria: Hi!! Kotori: Oh, hey. Aria: I was wondering where you'd be, since you said you wanted to talk to Nino earlier. Aria: Seeing as you're out here, you've probably already finished whatever business you had with him... Kotori: Mm. Kotori: No, I haven't yet. Aria: Oh, is that so? Aria: I'm going to go see Nino right now for... Something! Aria: You could come with, if you'd like to! Kotori: Mm. Aria: Yeah!! Um, are you feeling alright, anyway? Aria: You seem a bit out of it... Kotori: I'm fine. Aria: ...If you say so! Aria: I know how stressful your work…

Aria: Five, that's enough. Five: H-huh... Aria: You don't need to continue. Aria: It'll be alright, I promise! Aria: Me and Nino will find your friends for you! Nino: wonder how you got to this point in life, that you are getting mugged by anime maids. Everything in your life, everything in the universe, all that was, and all that will be, it all inevitably lead to you getting your ass kicked by a bunch of maids. This is a fact that maids robbing you was just a thing that was supposed to happen to you all along, at this exact point of your life. And you absolutely hate it. For what purpose doth man breathe, just to be humiliated henceforth? Are we not mere puppets, overwhelmed by the flow…

Five: Sis came to take Five... Five: There was... a bright light!! Five: Five was... going to new home! Five: Five was very... scared... but... Five: It was.. the first time Five saw... beautiful colors. Aria: Colors? Five: Yes!! Bright... Happy and friendly colors!! Five: Every day at Five's new home was... Colorful!! Five: Friends all had special colors... Warm colors. Five: Many new people come to visit... every day! Five: On Five's birthday, sis made a big... party! Five: With monster and human friends!! Aria: That sounds really fun! Your friends must be very nice people! Aria: I wish it were acceptable to do something like that here. Five: Aria, that's why Five thinks... Aria should come!! Five: With Nino and Five, to human world! Five: Five is sure...…

No... Not really, it's more like the baby is sitting YOU. What a sad miserable person you are, you've already let Nino down, and now you're letting a small child down too. She REALLY wants you to try drawing something with her to feel better, but you REALLY don't want to do anything except shrivel up and die right now. You briefly wonder what Nino's up to? Probably talking with Kotori, you guess. You regret driving him out so much. Five: Encourage Aria to draw something nice. Aria: ...Do you really want me to draw? Five: Yes!! Five: Aria... Feel better after! Aria: Well, fine. Aria: But I don't know what to draw. Aria: I don't really want to do anything right now. Five: Oh... Five: ...When Five is sad...…

Nino: Flirt with some of the customers. You miserably fail at flirting, before you even begin any attempts to flirt. Nino: Keep fuckin' around. Steal that pudding on the table with the empty seats. Looks like somebody took a bite out of this pudding and threw it right back. Ew. That customer was probably right about the food being bad, there's no way you're taking any of it with you. Nino: HOLY SHIT THERE'S A DOG PET IT PET THE DOG You pet the dog. It is a good dog. You have a feeling that dogs are the only good citizens in this town. His owner shoots you a weird look. You guess you've gotta stop now. Nino: Talk to the edgy looking dude in front of that "G.E.M" building.…

You don't think your disguise is in any danger of being broken; Aria seemed confident in that, and you trust her. Also, you don't believe in wishes coming true this way at all, people should work for what they want and not wait for it to magically happen! But you admit, this looks fun and you want to try it out. You totally DO NOT believe in it though!!! Since you have no money to use, you'll have to make do with what you have in your inventory. Boy that's a lot of crap there. You pluck out one flower from Five's old flower crown. You close your eyes and wish for your disguise not to fail. Also, you wish to go home and not to die here. And also,…

Nino: Approach the person near the boxes. Nino: Set the library on fire. You make an attempt, but unfortunately your ability is healing, not fire, so you just heal the shit out of the library's wall. Hell yeah, that did absolutely nothing!!! What an amazing ability!!! The person with the flowers asks what the heck you're doing. Nino: Take a flower for Aria. Nino: You'd better go find Kotor—holy heck there's a cat over there go pet it right NOW Nino: Take a swim in that pool next to the purple-haired girl.

Nino: Thanks for the meal! Nino: I guess you were right about tea and muffins going well together. Aria: No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Aria: I've gotta wash these now... Aria: Is it weird that I'm... happy, to have more dishes to wash this time? Aria: I've never had to wash anything more than one cup for myself for years! Aria: It's a weirdly nice feeling not to be alone for once. Nino: This is the first time I've seen someone happy about having MORE chores to do! Aria: Ehehe. Nino: I think I never liked doing any work back at home. Aria: Ah... Speaking of that. Aria: Can I ask you something? Nino: Go ahead! Aria: What are you planning to do now? Nino: Huh? Aria: I…

Nino: This is a bit specific, but... Nino: You said that crossing between worlds is impossible, because of the barrier. Nino: So I started wondering how I crossed over to here myself... Aria: Oh, actually! Aria: At the time the divide was created, it was very strong. Aria: But as years went by, it started thinning out. Aria: There are rumors about multiple secret openings in it... Aria: You probably passed through one of them! Aria: Well, those rumors are nothing for certain, but that's the only explanation I can think of. Nino: Hmmh, I see. Nino: I guess it's the most plausible. Nino: Oh, what is the barrier made of? Nino: And the dome? Aria: It's not made of anything tangible. Aria: If that makes any sense... Ahaha... Nino:…

Aria: Monsters and humans used to live without a divide between them. Aria: The two worlds naturally overlapped, and you could freely move from one to the other. Aria: Monsters and humans were on seemingly good terms. Aria: But they did not truly accept one another beneath the surface. Aria: Because of that, it was frowned upon to surround yourself with monsters if you're a human, and vice versa. Aria: But it wasn't exactly disallowed, so many monsters and humans adapted to this lifestyle. Aria: My family was one of these, we settled in a humble small village around here long ago! Nino: Oh, really? Nino: How was the life there? Wouldn't you have had a hard time because of the other monsters? Nino: Also this tea is kind of…

Nino: Hey so, I'm a little curious... Nino: I hope this isn't intruding on your business or anything. Nino: But I was wondering, how did you used to live before coming to this world? Aria: Ahaha well, I've always been living in the monster world with my family. Aria: I didn't really "come" here, I was always in this world. Nino: Huh? But... Nino: How come? Nino: Monsters hate humans! Nino: There's no way you could just... Live with monsters like that! Aria: Um... Nino, what are you talking about? Aria: Don't you know all of this already? Aria: Monsters and humans used to be able to live together. Aria: You know, before the war and all that?? Nino: ...War? Aria: Okay, something is definitely wrong with you. Nino: Hey,…

Fucking bring it on. You DRAMATICALLY make a swift grab for a stray blue crayon. It's time to show this cocky small child who's the TRUE artmaster here. With the force of one thousand burning suns multiplied by a hundred, you furiously ETCH your lines on the paper. Hotblooded action music would be playing right now if this were a scene in one of your favorite ANIME shows, no doubt. You're already imagining it in your head. Soon enough, you slow down the sheer force you're pulling into your strokes, stopping your movement before the paper rips apart. Nino: draw a muffin. You've finished your masterpiece. This is the best fucking drawing anyone's ever done. ...Okay, maybe not, maybe that's just the RUSH in your FLEETING ARTISTIC HEART making it…

Ok sure you're just going to stuff this piece of paper down the hatch, get it all nice and snug down there, delicious, best meal of your goddamn life. Nino: Start eating a crayon too because you're just that hungry. Oh yeah shove that too down your trap you garbage boy. You disgusting person. Nothing in this world will survive your immense hunger. Truly, such fearful craving knows no bounds. What a horrifying sight. Just kidding, no way in hell you'd do any of that. Although, those colorful scented crayons are looking real slick. That mandarin orange, the blueberry blue... Lemonade yellow, brownie brown, strawberry pink... You struggle to restrain yourself for a fraction of a second. This situation is not dire enough for crayon consumption. Not yet, you tell…

Nino: Holy shit. Aria: You're probably wondering how you got here! Aria: I made Ludwig carry you along the way. Aria: We got some weird looks but nobody really bothered enough to intrude and ask anything, thankfully. Aria: I wouldn't know what to say if anyone stopped me to question what I'm doing with an unconscious boy on a dog! Nino: Yeah, yeah sure, awkward, so about those MUFFI- Aria: Oh!! I almost forgot that Kotori asked me something earlier! Aria: She said she wants to talk to you about something in private. Aria: I haven't the slightest clue as to what it might be though! Nino: Sure sure sure I'll do whatever, anyway the muf- Aria: But I'm sure it's nothing bad, there's no need to be nervous... Aria:…

This is a ridiculously long command suggestion! And who the hell are those people? Who are you talking about? Aria? Song? Five? Nino? What? Okay well, you suddenly remembered that the last name is yours. Duh, you are Nino. Who are those other names supposed to be now? Whose bed are you on? Why are you in someone else's bed? Nino: Ponder on why the picture frame on the nightstand is pointed at your direction. Okay, anyway, you'd rather not theorize about the mostly weird reasons you could be in someone else's bed right now. Quick, picture frame distraction go! Whoever this bed belongs to must sleep every night looking at this, seeing as it is pointed towards this direction. Nino: What do you remember? You take a closer look…
