Happy Birthday Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

"Thank you for being born, thank you for being here right now..." Indeed, there is so much to be grateful for on a daily basis.
But having a special occasion to convey these thoughts is indeed ideal.
The children of man are wise to choose the day of one's birth as that occasion. I quite like the idea of birthday celebrations myself.
Perhaps I should get to the point. (Captain), happy birthday.
Good fortune in battle requires more than just prayer. I wish to be of aid in your journey, (Captain).
I will do what I can so that you may show your father what a fantastic person you've grown up to be.
I always make sure to pay back my debts. And you have helped me tremendously.
Please take good care of yourself, (Captain). So that we may celebrate your birthday again for many years to come.

2 ✔

Shinsha: Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Nectar: Shinsha, I, and everyone else are very happy to be able to celebrate with you today.
Shinsha: I'm sorry, I wanted to prepare a present for you, but I'm afraid going out to buy something is still difficult for us...
Instead, I asked Lyria to teach us a song to sing in celebration of your special day! We practiced very hard.
Nectar: Do you have some time right now, (Captain)?
Thank you. Then let us begin, Shinsha.
Ugusu and Kushina take up the casanets and tambourine, and wait nervously for the signal from Shinsha.
Shinsha: Ready, and...
Happy birthday to you!
Nectar: Happy birthday to you.
Shinsha: Happy birthday, dear (Captain)!
Nectar: Happy birthday to you.
Once again, my best wishes to you, (Captain).

3 ✔

Shinsha: Let's see. One, two, three...
Shinsha and Ugusu are counting candles together as Nectar and Kushina put them onto a cake.
Shinsha: That should be enough to match (Captain)'s age, right?
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. The number of candles is correct.
Then I shall light the candles. (Captain), please blow them out.
Choose: Here goes!
Shinsha: Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Nectar: Thank you for letting us take on the important role of preparing the candles on your cake.
Shinsha: It's so nice how the candles increase each year. Every time a candle is added, it symbolizes how much more happiness has been added to your life too.
I hope that I can witness this happiness with you from here on out, (Captain), together with Lyria, Nectar, and everyone else.
Nectar: And I will do my best so that you and (Captain) will be able to experience this happiness.
(Captain), please teach me this happiness so that I can bring it to everyone.

4 ✔

Nectar: (Captain), happy birthday.
Shinsha: Happy birthday! Please take this... It's a flower bouquet from all of us.
(Captain) smiles while accepting a bouquet tied up with a cute ribbon.
Shinsha: I'm glad you like it! We all picked out flowers that had a relaxing fragrance to them.
Nectar: Ugusu selected the ribbon and Kushina tied it. If you'd like, please put the flowers in your room.
Shinsha: It was super fun picking out the flowers together. I'm happy we were able to give you a good gift for your birthday.
Isn't it lovely giving gifts? It makes me feel all excited.
Nectar: It's all thanks to you for showing us how to live our lives happily.
We're all grateful to have met you and we hope that you have a long, prosperous life.
Shinsha: Even though there are going to be difficulties during our travels...
We hope that we'll be able to support you when things get tough.
You've taught us so many precious things. That's why we want to give back to you, even if it's just a little bit.
Nectar: Although I am not the strongest, I would be happy to offer you my services.
If there's anything that I can do at all, please don't hesistate to tell me.
Shinsha: Me too... I want to get stronger and help out the crew to the best of my ability!

5 ✔

Nectar: Happy birthday, (Captain).
Shinsha: I'm really happy to celebrate your birthday with you again this year!
Nectar: We have prepared a cake for the occasion. Would you blow out the candles, (Captain)?
Shinsha: Just one moment. I need to light them up first... Haah!
As Shinsha focuses, the candles on the cake are magically lit.
Shinsha: Phew... How is it, Nectar? Did the candles light up properly?
Nectar: Yes. Well done, Shinsha. The candles are perfectly lit.
Shinsha: Good! All those practice sessions paid off.
Nectar: Shinsha, your magical training is progressing well. I am proud of your growth.
Shinsha: Ehehe, thanks, Nectar. By improving my magical capabilities little by little...
I hope to become someone who can support you, (Captain), and everyone else.
Nectar: You already are a tremendous boon to me, Shinsha.
I, too, wish to be a pillar of support for you, (Captain), and everyone else in the crew.
Shinsha: Yes! If we all help and support each other, we'll be able to face any difficulties head-on.
Oh! I'm sorry, the candles are going to melt soon...
Nectar: Right. (Captain), if you would do the honors.
Choose: Fwoosh!
Shinsha: Once again, (Captain)... We wish you the happiest of birthdays!
Nectar: Shinsha, myself, Ugusu, and the rest hope to continue to aid you on your journey ahead.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

It wasn't until I joined this crew that the idea of a "new" year dawned on me.
At the Sky's Sanctum, I never had reason to pay attention to what day it was. Partly because the island was covered in snow all year round.
Shinsha, Kushina, and Ugusu are enjoying preparations for the new year. And that warms my heart.
It's thank to you, (Captain), that we're able to spend time together like this in peace.
Though I do not know how you plan on spending the coming year...
I ask that you make full use of our powers. It is the least I can do to repay you.
I have every confidence that you will not exploit us.
You're feeling the pressure? Surely it can't be too bad.

2 ✔

Shinsha: Um, (Captain)... I'm sorry, but...
I just can't bring myself to eat this dish... Do you think it'd be all right if I left it?
Nectar: There is no need to force yourself to eat it immediately if it's not at a suitable temperature, or if it doesn't suit your taste.
Shinsha: That's not it. The thing is...
The mochi... looks exactly like Nectar, so I can't bear to eat it!
Nectar: ...!
Shinsha: It's so soft and squishy. Nectar is softer and colder to the touch so it's a little different, but...
Nectar: You mean to say... I'm not slime, but mochi?
Shinsha: You're not mochi or slime, Nectar! You're Nectar!
You just... look a little similar, that's all. Just a little...

3 ✔

Shinsha: I'm sorry I can't help with the cleaning and preparations for New Year's, (Captain)...
(Captain) is here to see Shinsha, who is unwell with a fever from the fatigue of traveling.
Shinsha: I was looking forward to... helping out together with Lyria...
(Captain) tells Shinsha to take time to rest. The captain's gaze falls on the pillow.
Nectar: Yes. My temperature is quite low, you see, so I am using myself to help Shinsha cool down.
Kushina is much better than myself at nursing others. As such, I have found myself another role to fulfill.
Shinsha: (Even when I had a bad fever at the Sky's Sanctum, Nectar would become a pillow for me, just like this...)
(That's how I knew Nectar's true form. It wasn't the experiments, but rather, during times like this...)
(But... I should probably keep that a secret from Nectar...)
Nectar: Good night, Shinsha. Sweet dreams.
Thank you for coming to see Shinsha, (Captain).

4 ✔

Nectar: Mugen has advanced three squares and ended his turn. Now it's Wamdus's move.
Shinsha: What a close game!
Hearing a bunch of excited voices coming from one of the rooms, (Captain) peers inside to see a group huddled around a board game.
Shinsha: Oh, (Captain)! Happy New Year! We're all playing a game right now.
Nectar: Shinsha and I are spectating. Wamdus has moved forward by one square and ends her turn. Next is Ugusu.
Nectar explains the game's progression in detail to Shinsha as she listens with rapt attention.
Shinsha: Good luck, Ugusu! If you land a five or six, you'll be in first place!
Nectar: Correct. What Shinsha said.
Ugusu, don't get too excited and let the dice fly away.
Shinsha: I'm glad we could all start off the new year on such a fun note.
It makes me the happiest when I'm surrounded with everyone's smiles.
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. I hope that I can spend another year with you and your smile.
As always, I'll protect you with all my strength.
Shinsha: Thank you. But Nectar, remember to stay safe, okay?
Nectar: I will, Shinsha.
Ugusu, it's unseemly to flail about just because you rolled a one.
Shinsha: There are still plenty of chances to turn this around, Ugusu! Keep at it!
(Captain) joins Shinsha and Nectar in spectating, eager to take part in the next round.

5 ✔

Shinsha: Zzz...
(Captain) enters a room where Shinsha has fallen asleep at a kotatsu table.
Nectar: ...
Behind her is Nectar in slime form, supporting her back to ensure she gets a good rest.
Nectar: Happy New Year, (Captain). Forgive me for having to greet you as a slime.
Incidentally, I have a favor to ask if you don't mind.
Shinsha will likely catch a cold at this rate. I wish to carry her to bed.
Could you possibly support her back while I morph into my Human form?
The captain happily obliges, careful not to wake Shinsha while supporting her back.
Nectar: ...
Thank you for the assistance, (Captain).
I will be transporting Shinsha now.
Choose: I could help out too.
Nectar: No, no, (Captain). This is a duty I cannot cede to you.
Shinsha and I will offer you a proper New Year's greeting once she awakens. Until then.

Valentine's Day Cutscenes

1 ✔

(Captain), do you have any tasks suitable for me?
I happen to be free at the moment.
For some reason, Kushina told me to leave the room. And Shinsha prefers that I stay away for a while.
I waited in front of the room at first, but Ugusu said I was in the way.
I look depressed? Hm, that may be the case...
However, I have every reason to be glad if Shinsha is able to do as she wishes without my assistance.
For me to be depressed over that is most shameful. I must repent...
Huh? You don't think so? Well, I certainly hope you're right...

2 ✔

Shinsha: Don't worry, Nectar. I just burnt myself a little with the hot water. Kushina helped me ice it immediately.
Oh, (Captain)! Um, you see... I made a mistake and ended up hurting Nectar...
Nectar: No, Shinsha, I am not the one who's hurt.
Shinsha: I was making some Valentine's treats for you and Kushina when my hand slipped and I burnt myself slightly.
But it really isn't a big deal! See? A small burn like this should heal in no time!
(Captain) takes a look at Shinsha's finger and suggests using some healing magic for the small burn.
Nectar: Please, (Captain). Will you treat Shinsha's injury?
Shinsha: Oh, um, it really doesn't hurt at all! I want to continue making treats for all of you...
Despite Shinsha's protests, Nectar pushes Shinsha's wheelchair and follows after (Captain).
Nectar: (Shinsha suffered a burn because she was sensing her surroundings with magic in place of her eyes.)
(With the pact between us now, it may be possible for her eyesight to be artificially healed with myself as an intermediary...)
(But the reason I have not voiced this proposal is because...)

3 ✔

Shinsha: Hah!
While in the kitchen baking, Shinsha uses a rolling pin in an attempt to crush some nuts in a bag.
Shinsha: How's that? Are they crushed, (Captain)?
Choose: Nope...
Shinsha: I see... Hmm, I guess I'm just not strong enough. I'm sorry, Kushina—do you think I can ask you to help me?
Kushina nods and takes over the task. Nectar stands in a corner of the kitchen, watching.
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: Hmm, I guess I'll have to train up my physical strength, not just my magic.
Nectar: (Personally...)
(I know Shinsha thinks it unfortunate, but personally... I like it when she needs our help.)
(After all... whenever Shinsha needs help, it creates something for me to do... so that I'm not useless...)

4 ✔

Shinsha: Hmm? It smells like chocolate here...
A sweet smell wafts over to Shinsha and the others while they're out buying ingredients to make chocolate.
Nectar: Shinsha. It looks like a shop is selling something.
Shinsha: Is that so! Hmm, is it cocoa? It smells just like it.
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. It looks similar to cocoa. There seems to be a device with a cocoa fountain.
Shinsha: A cocoa fountain!
(Captain) explains to a surprised Shinsha that it's called a chocolate fondue.
Shinsha: The melted chocolate comes out like a waterfall and is eaten with fruits or marshmallows... Oh my! It sounds wonderful!
Nectar: Shinsha, would you like to try it? They have samples.
Ugusu agrees enthusiastically and flies off to the chocolatier.
Nectar: Ugusu, be careful to not get chocolate on yourself.
Shinsha: Hehe, it smells so sweet! I'm sure it's delicious, (Captain)!
Nectar: I would've never imagined this method of eating chocolate.
There are so many things in this world that I've yet to discover. I must continue learning...
Shinsha: You're right, Nectar. I feel happy learning something new everyday.
Thank you for introducing this to us, (Captain)! Why don't we all go eat together?
(Captain) accepts Shinsha's invitation and digs into the chocolate.

5 ✔

Nectar: ...
Shinsha: Happy Valentine's, (Captain)!
Thank you for all you do for us. To show our appreciation, Kushina and I made you some chocolates.
Please enjoy them. They tasted quite nice from our bit of taste-testing.
Nectar: ...
Noticing Nectar's sharp glare, the captain is a bit hesitant to accept the gift.
Shinsha: Is something the matter, (Captain)?
Um... Nectar?
Nectar: Worry not, Shinsha. I have only respect—not envy—for (Captain).
Shinsha: ...?
Your voice sounds unusually tense, Nectar.
Nectar: Why, I'm perfectly fine, Shinsha. There isn't a problem with me at all. Nuh-uh, none at all.
Shinsha: Oh, of course I made chocolates for you too, Nectar!
I left them in my room; I was going to give them to you when we were alone...
Nectar: ...!
Thank you, Shinsha. To know you keep me in your heart is most reassuring.
Shinsha: There's no way I could have forgotten you, Nectar...
Seeing Shinsha and Nectar beaming at each other, (Captain), too, is struck with a warm, pleasant feeling.
Choose: Blessings to you both.

White Day Cutscenes

1 ✔

I've heard today is the day to express thanks in the form of candy. And so I have a gift for you.
You and the crew have done so much for me, Shinsha, Kushina, and Ugusu.
On everyone's behalf, I present you with these treats.
Do I have some for Shinsha too, you ask?
Yes, I made sure to prepare plenty. Shinsha and Ugusu will be eating the leftovers.
Huh? These treats are a special something for a special someone?
I see... I suppose Shinsha was being modest when she decided to leave that part out.
In that case, I'll be sure to prepare a separate batch for them. Thank you for your kind instruction, (Captain).

2 ✔

Shinsha: Thank you very much for the White Day gift, (Captain)! I'm so happy!
Nectar: Shinsha. With the help of (Captain), I, too, have prepared something for you.
Shinsha: You have a present for me too, Nectar? Wow! Thank you!
Nectar: Indeed. Now, can you open your mouth?
Shinsha: Hm? Oh, um... Like this?
Nectar: Yes, I will be putting a treat in your mouth. Please have a taste.
Shinsha: Oh, you'll feed me? Hehe, this certainly brings back memories.
I remember when I'd only just lost my eyesight, you'd always feed me my tablets too.
Nectar: That's right. Does this bring back unpleasant memories for you?
Shinsha: Not at all. I was just thinking how you've always been so kind.
Nectar: Of course. I strive to always be the kindest existence you know, Shinsha.
Shinsha: Hehe. Thank you, Nectar. Then if you don't mind... Aaah!
Mmm! It's delicious!

3 ✔

In preparation for White Day, (Captain) asks Shinsha if she has any sweets she would like to eat.
Shinsha: Thank you for asking, (Captain). I'd be happy with anything you give me!
Of course, there's also the fact that I haven't had the chance to try many desserts...
But what makes me happy is the time I spend eating them with you, Lyria, Nectar, and the others.
It would be nice if you could show me what you usually like to eat, (Captain).
Nectar: (A present for Shinsha... What would make her the happiest?)
(Her body's recovery... With the contract now, perhaps even one part, or in a pseudo form...)
...
Shinsha: Seeing Nectar and everyone else doing well is what makes me the happiest!

4 ✔

Nectar: (Captain), we've prepared some sweets for White Day. Please join us if you'd like.
Shinsha: Everyone cut up chocolate and made a chocolate fondue together.
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. Ugusu was a big fan of the fondue on Valentine's Day.
We wanted to find a simple way for the rest of the crew to enjoy it.
Shinsha: I wasn't sure if we would be able to pull it off, so I'm surprised we did it!
We've got fruits and cookies on the side for dipping. Please, eat as much as you'd like!
After thanking Nectar and everyone, (Captain) joins the group for a sweet treat.
Shinsha: There's no more fruit left, but there's still plenty of melted chocolate. What should we do?
Nectar: Shinsha. I received a variety of leftover ingredients when I went to the kitchen. How about we eat these together?
There's pickled vegetables, rice crackers, and…
Shinsha: U-um, would these even go well with chocolate though?
Choose: Let’s give it a go!
Shinsha: I see! If you say so, then I'll give it a try!
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. I will try it out too.
Too curious to resist, (Captain) decides to go on a culinary adventure pairing various ingredients with the chocolate fondue.

5 ✔

Nectar: Yes, Shinsha and I are here.
(Captain) has come to hand over a thank-you gift to Shinsha for the chocolates from Valentine's Day.
Shinsha: For White Day? Why, thank you, (Captain)!
Choose: You gave her something too, Nectar?
Nectar: Indeed, (Captain). I was the first to offer her a present this morning.
Truth be told, a fierce battle was held to earn the privilege of doing so.
Shinsha: Huh? A fierce battle?
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. In order to ensure Ugusu would sleep in, I accompanied him in a game of word chain until midnight
Then I challenged Kusuki to see which of us could stay up all night. My victory was hard-fought.
Shinsha: You haven't slept? That can't be healthy, Nectar!
Nectar: Well, Shinsha, I—
Shinsha: If you have trouble falling asleep, I can sing you a lullaby.
Nectar: ...
Yes, Shinsha. I will take my rest now.
Shinsha: (Captain), you mustn't overwork yourself like Nectar did, okay?
I understand you're incredibly busy as a crew captain, but you should take the chance to rest when you can.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

Greetings, (Captain).
No, you are not seeing things. I am indeed carrying an Ugusu who's grown extra plump from overeating.
Receiving candy from so many crew members was all well and good at first, but...
Ugusu ended up eating too much out of excitement and fell to the ground. Fortunately I was there to pick him up.
Not much time has passed since Ugusu's creation. I have to watch him carefully to ensure he does not make too many faulty decisions.
But today, Kushina and I were so absorbed in Shinsha's tales of all the costumes we were seeing that we turned away from Ugusu for a while.
Meaning that as shameful as it is to admit, I have just as much to improve on as Ugusu.
But that aside, do you happen to know of a way to expedite digestion, (Captain)?

2 ✔

Shinsha: Ugusu, are you full already? Okay, then it's Nectar's turn next. Say "aah"!
Nectar: Thank you, Shinsha.
Aah...
Shinsha: Hehe. I've prepared a lot of treats, so eat as much as you like, Nectar. Here, have another one. Open wide!
Nectar: Aah... Mm, (Captain). Good to see you on Halloween.
Shinsha: Happy Halloween, (Captain)! Would you like some treats as well?
(Captain) moves closer to Shinsha to take a treat, but is quickly stopped by Nectar.
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: Nectar? What's wrong?
Nectar: Shinsha. May I take one of these treats?
Shinsha: Of course! Here you go.
Nectar: Thank you, Shinsha.
Allow me to give the treat to the captain. Now, open wide, (Captain).
Aah...

3 ✔

Shinsha: Hmm, but Nectar...
Dressed in costume and about to head to town, (Captain) happens to hear Shinsha's voice and walks over to where she is.
Choose: Heading out? Let's go together!
Shinsha: Oh! Um, well...
Nectar: Thank you for offering, (Captain).
Let's go, Shinsha. Everyone would be glad to have you there.
Shinsha: But... there's usually a lot of people out on Halloween, right? A wheelchair would take up a lot of space...
Nectar: Shinsha, there is no reason for you to hold back on what you wish to do. I will grant your wishes for you.
If needed, I will carry you. And Kushina can carry a wheelchair in the sky.
If our behavior does not please you, then I will put a stop to it. However, if you are simply holding back out of consideration, there is no such need.
Shinsha: Okay... You're right. You, (Captain), and everyone else were kind enough to invite me.
I'm sorry... Actually, no. Thank you, Nectar. And thank you as well, (Captain)!
I would love it if you could take me out with you to town. I want to hear the sounds of everyone's laughter on Halloween!

4 ✔

Nectar: Happy Halloween, (Captain). Are you passing out candy?
Shinsha: Hehe, Ugusu told us so we came right away. Trick or treat!
Knowing that Shinsha is curious about playing pranks on people, (Captain) decides to pick trick instead.
Shinsha: Really? Oh my gosh, what should we do, Nectar?
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. I was not expecting this either.
Shinsha: Hmm... Well... In that case...
Me-meow! I'm a cat, so you better give me treats!
Nectar: Shinsha. Are you imitating Ewiyar?
Shinsha: Th-that's right! So give me candy or I'll...
I'll climb on your lap! I'm heavy!
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: ...
Nectar: (Captain), will you quickly give some candy to Shinsha?
It seems like she's heating up considerably from the embarrassment. I'm getting concerned.
Shinsha: Ugh... Pranks are hard!

5 ✔

Nectar: Happy Halloween, (Captain). I believe Shinsha has a message for you.
Shinsha: I... I thought of a good prank this time!
Choose: My body is ready!
Shinsha: Here goes nothing!
Wah!
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: ...
H-how'd I do? Feeling surprised, (Captain)?
(Captain), who has experienced various extreme pranks throughout the years, is unable to contain surprise over one so peaceful.
Choose: I'm definitely "surprised"...
Shinsha: Thank goodness... Pranking is hard. I struggled just to come up with that one.
Nectar: Shinsha, the difficulty you experienced in coming up with a good prank is proof of the virtue in your heart.
So please, stay just the way you are, Shinsha.
Shinsha: You think so? I feel like I should be able to come up with something more thrilling though...
Seeing Shinsha deep in thought, (Captain) wishes, just like Nectar, for her to stay exactly as she is.

Happy Holidays Cutscenes

1 ✔

Shinsha once told me a fairy tale about a Santa Claus who hands out presents.
Though it wasn't until after coming out into the world that I learned of those who imitate the jolly old man by donning a red costume during the winter holidays.
I have been thinking... If the treat-receiver puts on a costume for Halloween, and the gift-giver puts on a costume for the holy night...
Would it also not be apropos to don a costume for White Day, another occasion where material goods are given?
You do not think so? The meaning of the gift and the costume differs by holiday?
Hm, the affairs of people are quite fascinating. I'll have to ask Shinsha for her thoughts on White Day as well.

2 ✔

(Captain) is returning to the bedroom when the sound of Shinsha and Nectar's voices catches the captain's attention.
Shinsha: I've prepared some for Ugusu, Kushina, and Kusuki... But are you sure you don't want new stockings too, Nectar?
Nectar: I'm sure, Shinsha. I do not believe myself to be included in what Santa Claus categorizes as "children."
Not to mention, my clothes and equipment are all, in fact, a part of my body. I have no need for any additional clothing.
Choose: So you're basically naked?
(Captain) can't help but chime in, catching Shinsha off guard.
Shinsha: Naked?
Nectar: No, Shinsha. (Captain). I have clothed and equipped myself adequately so that I would not appear naked.
Shinsha: Right... When we touch, I can feel the clothes on you and you don't seem naked.
Hmm, but... you don't have any clothes on when you're in your squishy form, so... Huh? Wait...
Nectar: Shinsha. I am not naked.
Am I, (Captain)?
Shinsha: ...?

3 ✔

Nectar: Happy holidays, (Captain). Thank you once again for inviting us to your winter feast.
Nectar scoops up a spoonful of beef stew and carefully holds it to Shinsha's mouth.
Shinsha: Thank you, Nectar! It smells delicious... Nom.
Mmm! This stew tastes amazing!
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. It appears this stew was made with soup extracted from cow bones that was then simmered with meat and herbs for an extended period of time.
Choose: Wow, you know so much about the dish!
Nectar: I had the chefs in the kitchen tell me how they had made tonight's dinner items and their ingredients.
Food and its flavor mean little to me, so I'm afraid I cannot explain the flavors very well.
However, if there is anything else you would like to know, Shinsha, I will be glad to answer.
Shinsha: I appreciate it, Nectar. Then I'll tell you what the food tastes like.
If I keep doing that, maybe someday you'll be able to understand what it means for something to be "delicious" too.
Even if you don't, I hope that you will understand what kinds of flavors I think are delicious.
Nectar: Very well, Shinsha. Your happiness is my happiness, after all—please do tell me everything you find to your liking.

4 ✔

Nectar: Shinsha. You'll get cold if you stay on the deck for too long. Why don't we head back inside?
Shinsha: Yeah, you're right. I should go help out with dinner preparations as well.
While passing by the deck, (Captain) catches a glimpse of the two and calls out to them.
Choose: Happy holidays!
Shinsha: Ah! (Captain), happy holidays! Isn't it beautiful with all this snow around us?
Nectar: Happy holidays, (Captain). It's a bit strange how I've come to appreciate snow.
The Sky Sanctum was always covered in snow. I always wished for sunny days so Shinsha wouldn't get sick.
Shinsha: You're right... It wasn't until after we left that place that we were able to appreciate snow.
We've been able to appreciate so many things thanks to (Captain) and Lyria for letting us join the crew!
Nectar: That's right, Shinsha. I'll always be grateful to (Captain) and everyone.
Shinsha: To think that we're all able to decorate the trees and make dinner together...
It brings me such joy. When we were in the Sky's Sanctum, I never thought I would get to experience life like this.
As Shinsha and Nectar express their excitement, (Captain) gives a wide smile.
Shinsha: From now on and always, I look forward to being with you, (Captain).
Nectar: I'll do my best to be in your service, (Captain). For now, allow me to assist with dinner.

Nectar: How about this brush, Shinsha? I believe it could be good for Kushina. Here, try touching it.
Shinsha: Um... yeah! The bristles are really firm; I think Kushina will like this brush.
(Captain), who is out shopping for the holy night, runs into Nectar and Shinsha at the entrance of a general store.
Shinsha: Hello, (Captain). Are you doing your holiday shopping as well?
Nectar: Shinsha and I are looking for suitable gifts for Kushina and the others.
Shinsha: Haha, as Fediel might put it, we're on a date as a "dyad."
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha. A shopping excursion with just the two of us most certainly qualifies as a date.
Shinsha: It's fun to be with everyone, but imagining their joyful reactions while shopping for them is also enjoyable.
Nectar: There's just one problem, Shinsha.
Shinsha: Oh? What is it, Nectar?
Nectar: Kusuki, Kushina, Ugusu, Lyria, (Captain), Lucius, and Teena...
If we are to ensure they all get a gift, we can only spend so much time choosing each one.
Shinsha: Oh! You're right! We need to be back by dinnertime!
(Captain), we're off to another shop now. See you back on the ship!

The Self Comes A-Tumblin'

When Nectar begins to behave strangely after the incident with Orologia, Shinsha and friends grow worried. Fediel explains the former wedge is busy processing the information he's absorbed from Orologia's simulated world. Shinsha becomes anxious that Nectar's personality may change from seeing these failed possibilities.



Some time has passed since Orologia was separated from the failed possibilities with the help of Nectar's power.
Nectar, Kushina, Ugusu, and I are on the deck of the ship, basking in the sun.
Ugusu: Ahh! It's perfect weather today!
Kushina: ...
(Yeah! The laundry's going to dry fast!)
Shinsha: Doesn't the sunlight feel nice, Nectar?
Nectar: ...
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha.
Shinsha: Nectar...
Fediel: You there! Dyad!
Shinsha: Eep!
Shinsha: Oh, Fediel! You surprised me!
Ugusu: Geez, Fediel! What's the matter all of a sudden?
Fediel: Girl of the Gate, you and Kamuzumi... Ah, it's a different name now. Are the two of you not a dyad?
Shinsha: Um... Dyad?
Ugusu: A dyad means a mom and a dad!
Kushina: ...
(Or rather, the pairing before they become mother and father.)
Fediel: You do not need to be with child nor be of different gender to pass on the torch. But in any case...
Fediel: I am most interested by this dyad formed by the girl of the gate and the former wedge!
Fediel: Now, I insist on seeing a date!
Shinsha: A d-date? Um, well...
A date! I mean, I've certainly heard of the concept in conversation, but... Nectar and me?
Having never thought about it before, this catches me by surprise.
Usually, Nectar would swiftly say something in my place. But at the moment, he's...
Nectar: ...
Fediel: Hm?
Ugusu: Nectar's spacing out again.
Kushina: ...
(If he were his usual self, he'd have a few words for Fediel by now...)
Nectar: ...!
Nectar: Fediel. I cannot allow you to tease Shinsha any further.
Fediel: I have no intention of teasing! I am serious, from the bottom of my heart. Very serious!
Fediel: You, on the other hand... Hm, I see.
Ugusu: Hey! You figured something out, didn't you, Fediel? It's not nice to keep it all to yourself!
Fediel: Hm? Is there something you do not understand?
Shinsha: You see, Nectar started spacing out like this shortly after the battle against Orologia's dragon form.
Shinsha: And we don't understand why.
Kushina: ...
(It's like he can't stop thinking about something...)
Ugusu: We're kind of worried! Just the other day, he turned gray and started making a lot of copies of himself!
Nectar: ...
Nectar: It's nothing. I'm fine.
Shinsha: But...
Fediel: He's right. Generally speaking, the former wedge is fine.
Ugusu: Generally?
Fediel: He has merely absorbed an immense amount of information on failed possibilities.
Shinsha: An immense amount of... information?
Nectar: I'm still... processing.
Ugusu: Processing?
Fediel: Yes. For example, when you supply food to your stomach, your intestines work to digest it and turn it into nutrients for your body.
Fediel: Naturally, the more food there is, the more time it takes to digest. It is the same in the former wedge's case.
Fediel: At the moment, he is devoting time to digesting the failed possibilities he has absorbed.
Fediel: Just as food digestion diverts energy from other bodily functions, his thoughts and reactions are now busy handling information processing.
Shinsha: So... does that mean that once all of the information has been processed, Nectar will return to his usual self?
Fediel: Of course.
Ugusu: Well, that's good to know! So he's just full from eating a lot!
Kushina: ...
(I see... I'm glad it's not from catching a strange disease!)
Fediel: He may or may not undergo changes after processing this new knowledge, but his vessel will certainly not break.
Shinsha: What changes?
Fediel: I assume he's currently peeking into many of the failed possibilities.
Fediel: There is a chance that witnessing so many of them can impact his thoughts and behavior.
Ugusu: Is Nectar going to turn into a bully because of those failed possibilities?
Fediel: There are times when severe experiences can warp the soul. He may indeed become a malicious individual.
Fediel: Still! A dyad is a bond that can surely overcome even changes of the soul!
Fediel: I'd very much like to see for myself the brilliance of such bonds borne by mortals!
Fediel: Now, Girl of the Gate—a date! You must go on one!
Kushina: ...!
(No!)
Fediel: What? Why the refusal!
Kushina: ...
(A date's supposed to be something between only two people, right?)
Kushina: ...
(Seeing how distracted Nectar's been, it's too risky to leave Shinsha solely in his care!)
Nectar: ...
Kushina: ...
(There'll be no dating until the information or whatnot finishes processing!)
Nectar: Yes... Kushina's... right. We should... think about Shinsha's safety.
Fediel: Wha...
Fediel: How could this be...
Ugusu: I want to go on a date with Shinsha too! How about I show you a date between me and Shinsha, Fediel?
Kushina: ...
(No can do. You can't push Shinsha's wheelchair on your own, Ugusu.)
Ugusu: Oh yeah, that's true... A date means it'd be just the two of us.
Ugusu: But I really wanted to go shopping with Shinsha...
Shinsha: Hehe. Why don't we all go out for some shopping next time, Ugusu?
Ugusu: Yeah! Let's do that!
Fediel: But that wouldn't constitute a date...
Fediel: Rrg... Kamuzumi—wait, no. You! Hasten with the information processing and show me a real date!
Nectar: ...
Fediel grabs Nectar by the shoulders and shakes him, but as has been the case lately, he doesn't react.
After Fediel leaves, we decide we'll split up to help out with whatever (Captain) needs.
Since Nectar is still lost in his thoughts, we let him stay behind in our room with Shinsha.
Ugusu: I'm off to deliver letters!
Kushina: ...
(I'll go help with the cleaning.
Take care of Nectar, Shinsha!)
Shinsha: Of course! Take care out there, both of you.
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: Nectar...
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha.
I apologize... for my slow reactions as of late.
Nectar: It is not my intention to cause you any ill feelings...
Shinsha: Not at all! As long as you feel okay, Nectar, then I'm all right too.
Nectar: Thank you... for your kindness...
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: ...
Fediel told us that there may be changes in Nectar from observing all the failed possibilities.
Even if that doesn't happen, the fact remains that he'd connected with the boundary through the gate I opened...
And temporarily regained the power he once had as Kamuzumi.
I guess from the start I thought... that we'd be able to stay together forever and had found relief in that.
Nectar's been with me for such a long time... He even made me a promise.
And yet...
There's probably still remnants of him as Kamuzumi somewhere within those failed possibilities.
What if he goes back to being the Kamuzumi he once was, just like what happened during that battle?
Shinsha: ...
If Nectar returns to being Kamuzumi, I suppose that's a good thing. I should be happy.
But... I'm scared.
Could I ever be truly happy for him? Because all I can think about right now is how this will affect me, and I really hate myself for thinking that way.
Nectar: Shinsha.
Shinsha: Oh! What's the matter, Nectar?
Nectar: I will do my best... to speed up the information processing.
Nectar: I'm sorry for making you wait... but please, wait for me, Shinsha.
Shinsha: Of course... Of course I'll wait for you! I'll always be here waiting.
Nectar: Thank you... Shinsha.
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: Nectar...
I reach out my hand in search of Nectar's and grasp it tightly.
The hand that would've given me a kind and comforting squeeze now lies limply in my hold, cold to the touch as always.

Someone, Once Upon a Time

Numerous failed possibilities flow into Nectar. One is of a girl losing all of her friends, and another of her perishing together with the skies upon failing to protect anything. Nectar continues processing all of this information inside himself.



This is a story drawn from among failed possibilities, its time and setting are up for debate.
Though the incident did not actually occur, it had the possibility of occurring.
Shinsha: Ngh... Sniff...
Over the course of the War, skydwellers had created many different kinds of technology to fight against the power of the Astrals.
Among these were ruthless creations that were either sealed away after the War, far from the reach of people, or led to the persecution of those who possessed them.
However, with the fear of the Astrals' return looming above the skydwellers, there were a few who continued to develop such technology.
Jorha—a group of people who went on to form the Sky's Sanctum.
They proceeded to imprison a girl who had the ability to access an endless amount of power from beyond the gate.
Shinsha: Ah... Aah...
The power the girl drew out gave life once more to failed experiments that were on the brink of death.
Then the Sky's Sanctum would once again take away this life mercilessly—and that became the beginning of their downfall.
Shinsha: Everyone...
Shinsha: My friends...
Shinsha: Give them back!
The endless experiments caused the girl much suffering, until her heart finally shattered from losing those she called her friends.
Shinsha: Aaah!
Shinsha: ...
Shinsha: It's so... cold...
Shinsha: I'm so lonely... Where's... everyone?
No longer able to process the reality in front of her, the girl left the destroyed Sky's Sanctum behind, taking her power with her.
She sought out the primal beast of death whom she had once heard of, in order to obtain its power and revive her lost friends.
And yet, in another failed possibility...
Shinsha: ...
The Three: ...
The girl died along with other subjects in an experiment.
In this failed possibility, the shapeless being called Nectar was cut into millions of pieces until it lost its sense of self.
The pieces then absorbed the girl's power, each one bubbling and swelling before multiplying in number.
They filled up the Sky's Sanctum, the snowy island, and finally, every corner of the sky...
Completely ravaged by nothing but gray, the Sky Realm fell to destruction.
Having failed in protecting the girl, the gray matter that was once a wedge died along with the sky.
But by that time, the gray matter no longer remembered what it had wished for in the beginning.

Someone, Once Upon a Time: Scene 2

Nectar sees a possibility in which Shinsha lives peacefully as a normal girl with no special powers. This gives Nectar a suspicion that his encounter with Shinsha is at the sacrifice of Shinsha's potential to have a life of peace; yet, as insolent as it may be, he finds himself still wishing to be with her.



This is a story drawn from among failed possibilities, one that did not come to be.
There once was a girl who never possessed a special power.
She never reached into the gate, and she was never found by the Sky's Sanctum.
Shinsha: Mom! Dad! I'm going out!
The girl had friends that were not shapeless blobs nor animals, and she lived a normal life.
Shinsha: Morning, everyone!
Hey, how did you do on the homework? I didn't really get the last question...
In that corner of the sky, she lived out her life peacefully like any other girl.
She never imagined that shapeless creatures even existed in the skies.
Seeing this, I feel... very...
...
If I am to meet Shinsha, that means she must be captured by the Sky's Sanctum.
It means that she can never smile under the blue skies, or live peacefully with her family.
...
Nevertheless...
I want to be together with Shinsha, even if all of that needs to be sacrificed.
I understand that it is insolent of me to think this way. Yet, I cannot separate this part of me from myself.

Someone, Once Upon a Time: Scene 3

Once the processing is finished, Nectar reveals to Shinsha that his existence may be bringing misfortune to her life. Seeing his distress, Shinsha refutes the idea and tells him firmly that she would still rather be with him. Nectar embraces her, his determination to continue life with Shinsha renewed.



Nectar: ...
Shinsha: Ngh...
Shinsha: Nectar?
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: ...
At that moment, I felt that something was different about Nectar.
I thought... maybe this was the part of Nectar called Kamuzumi.
That's why I couldn't bring myself to say something right away.
Nectar: Shinsha...
Shinsha: Yes... What's wrong?
Nectar: Shinsha... You're...
Nectar: ...
No. This is about me.
Shinsha: I'm listening.
Nectar: I... may be the one who took away your happiness.
Shinsha: Huh?
Nectar's words were like a bolt out of the blue.
He had always been the one who stayed with me, saved me, and protected me.
There had never been any instances where Nectar took anything from me.
Nectar: For example... your eyes.
Nectar: With the power from the gate and my abilities, there may be a way to revive your eyesight.
Nectar: But I...
Nectar: I want to be needed by you.
Nectar: That's why I've never attempted to cure your eyes...
To have my eyes cured?
I can't believe such a thought had never occurred to me...
You've already given me pieces of yourself to replace the body parts I've lost. That's more than enough of a gift.
So please don't fret over the mere possibility of healing my eyes.
Nectar: I... I only focused on myself, and that's why I end up wishing for your misfortune—
Shinsha: That's not true!
Nectar: ...
Shinsha: That's not true at all, Nectar...
Shinsha: You're always here to help me. You were with me back at the Sky's Sanctum, and you're here with me on this ship too.
Shinsha: Please. I don't want you to deny the fact that you've saved me.
Shinsha: Truly... The salvation you've given me is... my treasure...
Nectar: Shinsha...
Shinsha: So... that's why, no matter what, I...
Shinsha: I want to be with you, Nectar. Even if you regain your previous powers or duties...
Shinsha: Even if it's better for you to live out your days for the Sky Realm as its wedge...
Shinsha: I still want to be with you, even if it means getting in the way!
Shinsha: Please, Nectar.
I was being difficult. I was weak, and on the brink of tears.
Nectar: Shinsha...
Still, Nectar embraced me.
Nectar: Shinsha... Shinsha, Shinsha!
Shinsha: Nectar...
Shinsha: Even if... "If," okay?
Shinsha: Even if we don't ever find the Peach Spring Valley or reach it...
Shinsha: As long as I'm together with you, and Ugusu and the others...
Shinsha: As long as we can continue traveling together like this... I will be happy.
Shinsha: So...
Shinsha: So, um...
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha.
Nectar: I will be here with you.
Nectar: If that is what you wish for, then it cannot possibly be wrong.
Nectar: Shinsha.
Shinsha: Okay...
Shinsha: Okay!
Nectar: From now on, I swear I will always...
Nectar: I will always continue to protect you.
Nectar: That is what my power is for!
Something about him changes then and there, though only in the slightest.
But his hand remains cold and gentle.
Shinsha: Together forever... It's a promise.
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha.

Someone, Once Upon a Time: Scene 4

Days later, Nectar and Shinsha go on a date at a cafe, much to Fediel's delight. On their way home, the pair are joined by Ugusu and Kushina. When Ugusu surprises Shinsha with a present, the girl's face lights up with a smile. Nectar finally accepts that no matter what failed possibilities may exist, this reality, too, can bring happiness if he is here to protect it.



Nectar: Shinsha. Please open your mouth.
Shinsha: Okay! Aaah...
Shinsha: Mm! It's delicious!
Nectar: I'm glad to hear that.
Shinsha: Here, you try too, Nectar. I'm sure it'll be even more delicious if we eat it together!
Nectar: Yes, Shinsha.
A date!
Yes! This is it—a date! I knew biding my time would pay off handsomely.
Fediel: Hnnngh!
Kushina: ...
(Fediel's kind of a strange one, huh?)
Ugusu: Fediel! Are you sure you just want to watch? Don't you want to eat cake with them too?
Fediel: This is fine! I would hate to ruin the development of their dyad.
Fediel: I will continue to observe the girl of the gate and the former wedge from here!
Ugusu: All right! Then I'm going to go out to buy something!
Kushina: ...
(What are you going to buy?)
Ugusu: Hmm, I'm still thinking about it! But it's something important.
Kushina: ...
(Oh? Then I'll go too. I'll help you carry things.)
Ugusu: Ooh, thanks, Kushina! You're so nice!
Kushina: ...
(Yeah, yeah. You're not getting anything in return for the flattery, you know.)
Kushina: ...
(We'll see you later then, Fediel!)
Fediel: If only they'd get a little closer to one another... Yes! This chemistry!
Ugusu: Fediel's not listening.
Kushina: ...
(Definitely not. Let's get going then.)
Ugusu: Yeah!
Shinsha: Hehe.
Nectar: Are you enjoying yourself, Shinsha?
Shinsha: Yes, very much so! I was just thinking, I didn't know a date could be this fun.
Nectar: If you're having a good time, then I'm happy.
Shinsha: Are you... not having a good time, Nectar?
Nectar: I am. When I have your undivided attention, Shinsha, it brings me joy like no other.
Nectar: What I mean to say is, I'm having a good time.
Shinsha: Oh? That's good then!
Nectar: Do you feel lonely without Ugusu and Kushina here?
Shinsha: Hm... I'm happy when they're here, of course.
Shinsha: But I know that the two of them are well and having fun. Plus, we'll see one another again after this.
Shinsha: So I'm just really happy that I get to have you all to myself, Nectar!
Nectar: Shinsha...
Fediel's Voice: Aaah! What are you doing!
Fediel's Voice: That was it! That was your chance to do something bold—but you let it get away!
Shinsha: ...
Nectar: It seems we have attracted a rather bothersome onlooker in Fediel.
I'm willing to bet Kamuzumi, or whatever he is now, made a rude quip at my expense. But no matter, for I am generous and tolerant.
I shall let his trivial comment slide. After all, I was able to witness some excellent moments between him and the girl of the gate.
Fediel: I am thoroughly satisfied! Now, I will return to Alster Island and exchange opinions with the Erune lass!
After spending a lovely time alone with Nectar, all that's left is an enjoyable walk back home.
I truly think that as long as Nectar, Ugusu, and Kushina are with me, even something as simple as going home feels like a party.
Nectar: Shinsha, Ugusu and Kushina are here.
Ugusu's Voice: Heeey! Shinsha! Nectar!
Shinsha: Ugusu! Kushina!
Kushina: ...
(Did you have a good time on your date, Shinsha?)
Shinsha: Yes, I enjoyed it a lot!
Ugusu: Huh? Where's Fediel?
Nectar: Fediel left just a moment ago.
Ugusu: Oh, okay!
Shinsha: How did your outing go today? Was it fun?
Kushina: ...
(We walked around so much, I'm exhausted!)
Ugusu: Yeah... I wanted to look for a bunch of stuff...
Nectar: Did you find what you were looking for, Ugusu?
Ugusu: Yup! Kushina, hand it over to Shinsha!
Shinsha: Huh? You want to give it to me?
Ugusu: Yeah! It's supposed to be a present for you!
Shinsha: Wha!
Ugusu: Ta-da! Here you are, Shinsha!
Kushina gently places something in my palm—something metallic with a complex pattern printed on it.
Shinsha: What's this?
Ugusu: Cookies, packed into a cute tin!
Ugusu: The tin's got bumps and dents here and there, so I thought touching it might be fun for you too!
Shinsha: Yes... It is!
Kushina: ...
(You know how Ugusu has a job delivering letters around the ship?)
Kushina: ...
(He said the first thing he'd buy with the money earned was something for you, Shinsha.)
Shinsha: Oh, Ugusu!
Ugusu: Ehehe. That's 'cause I love you a lot, Shinsha! As much as Nectar does, you know!
Nectar: ...
Kushina: ...
(Now, now, Nectar. You've had an entire day with Shinsha, after all.)
Kushina: ...
(Let Ugusu have his moment here.)
Nectar: Kushina...
Shinsha: Ugusu... Kushina... Nectar, too.
Shinsha: Thank you all for such a wonderful day!
Nectar: You're welcome, Shinsha.
Ugusu: Since Shinsha's got such a big smile on her face, today's a great day for me too!
Kushina: ...
(Hehe. I couldn't agree more.)
Ugusu glides down to perch on Shinsha's knee as Kushina pushes her chair.
And that is how this day, so full of happiness, came to a peaceful end for me—for all of us.
I did not need my power as a former wedge, nor the power from the boundary, to bring about such happiness.
That is why, no matter who or what I may have been in the past...
Even if Shinsha may have had a completely different life in a failed possibility...
None of it matters, because together, we can have all the happiness we need.
And I must be here to protect this happiness. That is what I strongly believe.
