• Reed: Shut the fuck up already!

Reed: Do you believe what the professor had said now?

• Reed: I've had enough of this.
• Reed: I have absolutely no goddamn reason to trust you right now,
• Reed: And none of this has anything to do with Nino.
• Reed: Yes, I did want to hear you out,
• Reed: But nothing says I have to believe you.
• Reed: So shut up about this irrelevant shit, or you're fucking dead.
• Spirit: O-oh, wow... are you sure you can afford to act this way?
• Spirit: A prophecy of doom that seems unlikely, but is bound to come true...
• Spirit: You don't want to repeat their mistake by ignoring such a thing, do you?
• Reed: I don't care about what happened in the past.
• Reed: The fact that the old man ended up being right does not fucking matter.
• Reed: You're awfully stupid for trying to bait me by comparing your unfounded warning to that. The life he lead has nothing to do with mine.
• Spirit: Is it not the people of the past who shaped the world you now live in?
• Spirit: Had they listened to the professor...
• Spirit: They could've avoided worse misfortune,
• Spirit: Thereby giving you all a better future.
• Spirit: And now, you are shaping the present, so think wisely.
• Spirit: Your sister is waiting at home.
• Spirit: If you were to never return... what would happen?
• Spirit: Does she deserve the same misfortune as you?
• Spirit: You know better than anyone else how bad the outcome could be...
• Spirit: If an older sibling were to die at an early age,
• Spirit: And leave their poor little sibling behind.
• Spirit: You wouldn't want a repeat of that, would you?

Abandoning the Party would put you a step back in your search for the professor. What's the point in saving your life if you never achieve your goals along the way?

• Reed: Are you threatening me now? Pathetic.
• Reed: Even if I ditch Nino and the others here,
• Reed: I still have to come to this world to achieve my own goals.
• Reed: You aren't going to make me give up on that, no matter what.
• Spirit: Now now, I never said you had to abandon everyone.
• Spirit: It is fine to take those companions of yours along, if you wish.
• Spirit: In fact, if you wanted to revisit this world in the future,
• Spirit: Then we won't get in your way ever again.
• Reed: Huh...? Why would you make that kind of exception for me?
• Spirit: Because, well... your presence here isn't a danger.
• Spirit: Hence, we have no reason to go against you if you are alone.
• Spirit: It's only that human, Nino, whom you must stay away from.
• Spirit: So long as your goals involve him,
• Spirit: The spirits here won't let you roam freely.
• Reed: ...
• Reed: This really seems like just some shitty scare tactic.
• Reed: You must somehow benefit from us leaving in some way,
• Reed: So I'm not totally buying whatever you say.
• Reed: And I won't think of Nino as a killer like you want me to, either.
• Spirit: Oh, my... so that's that, then?
• Spirit: Your disbelief is truly endless.
• Spirit: It's sad that it has to end in this way, ah...

Reed: Consider the spirit's warning.

• Reed: ...That is, unless you explain why you think of Nino the way you do.
• Reed: You have something against him, don't you?
• Spirit: Eh...?
• Reed: The way you're talking about him,
• Reed: It sounds like he personally wronged you lot somehow.
• Reed: I don't think this is solely about you trying to "save my life"...
• Reed: It's looking more like it's about getting rid of Nino, mainly.
• Reed: Maybe it's just my human mind connecting dots where there are none.
• Reed: But on the off-chance that it's really true...
• Reed: Can't you tell me what your issue is with him?

--/-->

• Spirit: Ah... ha... haha! Oh my!
• Spirit: You, you understood that much, after all?
• Spirit: Maybe... maybe your case isn't totally hopeless, then!
• Reed: ...Looks like I was right.
• Reed: Well then, stop trying to guilt-trip me by bringing up unrelated things.
• Reed: Just answer my question logically and clearly.
• Reed: What did Nino do to earn himself this much disdain from you spirits?
• Spirit: Ha, haha... human, listen.
• Spirit: You believe that actions speak louder than words, yes?
• Spirit: In that case, you might wish to know something about your new friend here.
• Spirit: The first thing that human did when you crossed over to this world...

--/-->

• Spirit: ...Was to kill dozens of spirits unprovoked.
• Reed: What...? Even though...
• Reed: He doesn't know anything about what spirits are?
• Spirit: Indeed. He massacred us masterfully so, too.
• Spirit: While you were struggling with your few encounters,
• Spirit: He slayed many of our kind in the blazing heat like it was nothing.
• Spirit: I heard how it went from the one spirit who had barely survived the slaughter.

--/-->

• Spirit: It's agonizing to have lost so many of the other spirits already.
• Spirit: Those of us left were afraid... and furious, wanting revenge.
• Spirit: But even though he's our killer...
• Spirit: Some of us have carried on with trying to save you from him, still.
• Spirit: Since you have no intentions of committing senseless killings,
• Spirit: And you are entirely ignorant about this companion of yours.
• Spirit: Your fate is avoidable if you simply leave here.
• Spirit: Turn back now, and follow the path behind you to the end.
• Spirit: A rift awaits there. It will be for the best if you went right away.
• Reed: ...I can't just go blindly.
• Reed: I will first have to confirm this for myself.
• Reed: And I'm not leaving without the people waiting on me, at the very least.
• Spirit: Ah... even now, it looks like your mind is still unconvinced.
• Spirit: It's unfortunate that I might fail to save you at this rate.
• Spirit: If you fully disregard what I've told you, then...
• Spirit: From now on, other spirits may not be so kind as to even try, you know?
• Spirit: And I have no control over their actions.
• Reed: I don't need any sort of protection from you.
• Reed: I've heard everything that I needed to know.
• Spirit: That is... unfortunate.
• Spirit: I suppose I can only hope for you to make the right choice...
• Spirit: Then, our meeting ends here, human.
• Reed: Not really.

Reed: Sounds like you should be getting ready for a fight right about now.

• Reed: In your stupid chatter earlier, you confirmed something important for me.
• Reed: You know for a fact that Nino is here in this world.
• Reed: Where is he?
• Reed: Answer clearly, or die like the rest.
• Spirit: H... huh? You... you...
• Spirit: So even now, finding him is all you care about? Hah!

--/-->

• Spirit: Are you not afraid of being killed yourself?
• Spirit: No, that... isn't even a serious possibility in your mind, still?
• Spirit: After all, you still don't believe their warning...
• Spirit: You'd even shoot the messenger, you arrogant hypocrite!?
• Spirit: Have you learned nothing from witnessing the consequences of disbelief!?

Reed: Fire.

• Spirit: YOU WILL REGRE----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

--/-->

• Reed: ...
• Reed: Don't say I didn't warn you.

QUIET.

• Spirit: As if you could leave a single scratch on me.
• Reed: !?
