Bye-Bye, Beach Days
On the last night of the crew's vacation to the Auguste Isles, a sleepless (Captain) finds Carren walking alone on the beach. Carren sighs as she says she'd like to make one last summer memory, so the pair decides to go for a final dip in the ocean.
After a lovely time in the Auguste Isles, it's the final day of vacation for (Captain) and the crew.
(Captain) wakes up in the middle of the night and, unable to go back to sleep, leaves the beach house.
Rackam: Wha... snore... I've got nothing... snore... against Kata... snore... cooking...
Eugen: Snore... Hey... There are... snore... monsters around...
Eugen and Rackam have been hanging and passing out in the lobby for several nights in a row.
(Captain) creeps by the sleeping duo, trying hard not to interrupt their slumber.
Without any particular aim, (Captain) begins meandering on the beach.
Carren: ...
(Captain) discovers Carren also walking alone across the shoreline.
Carren: Haha. (Captain), what's up? Couldn't sleep?
Carren: Same here. I've been thinking about how today's the last day of vacation...
Carren: Hey, let's go for a walk. Sound good?
(Captain) nods and follows Carren, the early morning surf rhythmically nipping at their ankles the whole way.
Carren: We're really going back tomorrow, huh? We made a lot of good memories, but I feel like something's missing...
Carren: Huh, you too? Was there something you wanted to do?
Choose: Let's go swimming one last time!
Carren: Yeah! Sounds great! I wanted to wear my swimsuit again too!
Carren: Haha! I'm gonna go change. You go change too, (Captain), and then let's meet back here!
(Captain) tries to keep pace with the spirited Carren as she dashes back to the beach house.
Choose: Let's see your swimsuit one last time!
Carren: ...!
Carren: Ahahaha! For cryin' out loud, you idiot!
Carren: Jeez, I never know what's going to come out of your mouth. Haha.
Carren: But, hey, you only live once. Just know I'm not going to put it on for you; I actually wanted to wear it one more time.
Carren: I'll go change and come back here. You too, okay, (Captain)?
(Captain) tries to keep pace with the spirited Carren as she dashes back to the beach house.
Carren: Huh, you too? Was there something you wanted to do?
Choose: Let's go swimming one last time!
Carren: Yeah! Sounds great! I wanted to wear my swimsuit again too!
Carren: Haha! I'm gonna go change. You go change too, (Captain), and then let's meet back here!
(Captain) tries to keep pace with the spirited Carren as she dashes back to the beach house.
Choose: Let's put on swimsuits one last time!
Carren: Ooh! Best idea!
Carren: You helped put the finishing touches on my swimsuit, so of course I want to wear this masterpiece one more time!
Carren: After we change, let's meet back here and swim in this ocean like we've never swum before!
(Captain) agrees, and the pair decides to bask in a lovely swim illuminated by the first cracks of dawn.

They both finish changing and head back down to the beach.
Carren: Aaall right! Let's hit those waves!
Carren: ...?
Carren gets calf-deep in the water before she stops, her face stiffening into a troubled expression.
Carren: Hey, (Captain), is it just me or are there a lot of monsters today?
If Carren had peered closer into the ocean, she would have seen a large, quivering shadow beneath the water.
Carren: I get it. It's too early, so the guards haven't made their rounds yet.
Carren: No one will be able to swim like this. We'd better do something.
Carren: I guess this is like a warm-up before we have to get back to the real world! Let's do it!
Bye-Bye, Beach Days: Scene 2
After Carren and (Captain) enjoy their swim in the ocean, the pair relaxes on the beach. Carren exclaims that there are yet still more memories to be had, so she proposes they go find sea urkin. (Captain) happily agrees.
Carren: Whew, did we get 'em all? Haha. I worked up a sweat!
Carren turns back and dashes toward the sea.
Carren: Hurry up, (Captain)! Let's dive in together!
(Captain) rushes to the water and immediately launches a preemptive strike against Carren.
Carren: Haha! The water's so cold!
(Captain) and Carren splish and splash and make a raucous.
After they get tired of playing in the water, the pair return to the beach and lay on the sand.
Carren: I'm so glad I could come to Benthic. We did so much; it was so fun.
Carren: When Korwa and I made my swimsuit together, I was so excited...
Carren: Oh, and Sierokarte was completely obsessed too! It took her half a day to decide on a swimsuit!
Carren: I wonder if Izzy had a good time... She didn't look like she was feeling too well before we came here.
Carren continues rambling on, but (Captain) remains content to listen.
Carren: Ugh, I really don't want to leave yet! There's still more memories to be made!
Carren: Oh yeah! Hey, (Captain)!
Carren leaps up off the sand.
Carren: Let's go get urkin! Eugen and Rackam weren't able to eat any, right?
(Captain) agrees that this is a good idea, but both Carren and (Captain) remember something disheartening.
Carren: But I bet they're done laying eggs. There's gotta be at least one left, right?
The pair hurries to a fishing village, where they learn that there is an area with slightly warmer waters—their best bet to find spawning sea urkin.
They leave with a fisherman who has happily offered to help them find this elusive breeding ground.
Bye-Bye, Beach Days: Scene 3
Carren and (Captain) head back to the beach house with the sea urkin, where they find an envious Lyria waiting for them. In response, Eugen suggests the crew stretch out their vacation ever so slightly. After one last swim, everyone is completely satisfied with their vacation.
Carren: Everyone! We brought freshly-harvested sea urkin!
Eugen: Huh? You went fishing this early in the morning? Filled with energy, aren'tcha?
Carren: You bet we did! After all, you and Rackam didn't get a chance to try any, did you?
Eugen: Sheesh, you're just as perceptive as ever. Thanks, missy.
Carren: No problem! We talked about leaving right after lunch, so while we were busy making one last memory—
Lyria: What! You two snuck off to have one last swim? That's not fair!
Carren: Oh, sorry Lyria... We didn't mean to exclude you. It was so early, and we didn't want to wake anyone up...
Eugen: Haha. Would it be fair if everyone went for one last swim? You're not on vacation every day, you know.
Lyria: Are you sure? We're have to leave after lunch though...
Eugen: That's just for the rooms. After we check out, our time is ours to do whatever we want with! Right, Rackam?
Eugen throws a look at the helmsman.
Rackam: Wh-what? Ah, right... I was up late last night, so I could do with a little more rest before taking the wheel again.
Vyrn: Hah! It sounded like you were havin' a crazy time last night!
Eugen: Yeah, sorry about that. Been a while since I've had a free night. Maybe a little too free... This headache is killin' me...
Carren: So... Um...
Lyria: Okay! Everyone, let's go make one last memory together!
Carren: Right! After we've eaten lunch, let's all get changed into our swimsuits and go have some fun!
(Captain) and the crew finish their sea urkin lunch, prepare for the beach, and head to the ocean for some final vacation revelry.
Satisfied with their trip, they head back to the Grandcypher where they prepare to return to everyday life.
But they have all already begun daydreaming of next year's summer getaway.
