Scenario:Ami - Onward to the Future

Onward to the Future

Ami decides not to perform a wake on the yupei until she can figure out what Qilin's goal is, and to destroy the ominous beast if it proves to be a hindrance to fulfilling her wish. After returning to the Grandcypher, she thinks about the future as she chats with a stuffed animal. However, she leaves her door open, letting (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn hear her talking. Unable to undo what has been done, she can do nothing but curl up into a ball in embarrassment.

---

Lyria: Now that we've defeated Qinglong, should we head back for now?

Vyrn: Yeah...

Vyrn: Wait, don't we need to do a wake on the yupei first?

Ami: I would have before, but I think I'll hold off on that for now.

Vyrn: Why?

Ami: Huanglong told me something once.

Ami: Supposedly, the cardinal beasts and Saints were created by Huanglong itself.

Ami: However, just now, I felt Qilin's will while my consciousness was in the yupei.

Ami: (And what I saw there interests me as well.)

Ami: (It was almost like it was implying that every time I perform a wake on Qinglong's yupei, Qilin's power grows...)

Ami: I might be overthinking it, but performing a wake on this yupei might make Qilin stronger.

Vyrn: But didn't the Saints perform wakes on them for ages? Why did nobody notice anything back then?

Ami: Performing wakes on the yupei is something that's been passed down to us through tradition.

Ami: I think that at some point, the tradition changed...

Ami: Or rather, someone changed it. Maybe it was even wrong from the very beginning.

Ami: (Chichiri... probably doesn't know. She has more pressing problems.)

Ami: (But Shushuku... Actually, no—Uruki has probably caught on to something.)

Ami: Either way, I'm sure Qilin knows everything.

Ami: That's why I need to find it and ask it some questions.

Ami: I need to know what it wants, what it's trying to do...

Ami: And if it's going to get in the way of my wish.

Ami: If it is, then I'm going to take it down.

Ami grips her weapon tightly with a determined expression on her face.

Vyrn: I guess our next goal is to track Qilin and Huanglong down then.

Lyria: Yes, I agree.

Ami: Huh? Are you sure?

Vyrn: Of course we are! You're one of our buddies, you know?

Lyria: That's right! Please don't insist on searching for them alone. We'd never want that for you!

Ami: ...
Thank you.

Upon hearing her friends unhesitatingly commit to helping her, Ami's face breaks into a elated smile.

Having defeated Qinglong, the crew returns to the Grandcypher.

Ami has parted with the trio and is alone in her cabin.

Stuffy: Isn't that great, Ami? You'll be able to stay with the crew!

Ami: Yeah. I wonder if my sister is okay though...

Ami: He said she'll live, but I'm still worried...

Stuffy: I'm sure she'll be fine. Hopefully you can make up with her soon.

Ami: Uh-huh.

Ami: (And to do that, I need to figure out what Qilin is doing...)

Stuffy: You'll need to think about how to deal with your family too.

Ami: Yeah, you're right.

Ami: If that man tells my sister or other relatives about the crew, they'll definitely start coming after us...

Ami: And at this rate, my sister's going to get herself hurt again.

Ami: I really don't know what to do. I can't give her the crossbow, but going back won't help either...

Ami: Nau... There's so much I need to consider...

Ami heaves a deep sigh and dives into bed.

The impact causes some stuffed animals to fall down in front of her.

Ami: Oh yeah, I haven't introduced these guys to everyone yet!

Ami: Everybody, we're getting some new family members today. Be sure to get along with them!

Lyria: Um... Ami?

Ami: Huh?

Upon hearing Lyria's voice from behind her, Ami slowly turns around.

Ami: Wh-when did you guys get there?

Vyrn: From the part where you were talkin' about wanting to get along with your sister again, I think.

Ami: ...!

Vyrn: Besides, the door was open from the very beginning.

Ami: Nuaaah!

Ami lets out an embarrassed scream and hides her face with a stuffed animal.

Vyrn: Hey, nobody's got a problem with you playing pretend, but for your own sake you should probably shut the door first.

Ami: Nuahhh...

Ami: (Why did they have to walk up now? And why did I not check that the door was shut!)

Vyrn's remark causes Ami to turn beet red and curl up into a ball.

(Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria can't help but smile at their new friend's sheepishness.
