She Who Laments the Summer
After taking on countless requests, the crew are out of energy and so decide to relax in Auguste. While everyone else seems happy with the prospect, Rosetta appears blue. Io chooses a swimsuit for her and they head off, unaware of the sadness that hides in Rosetta's heart.
The crew finishes a tough mission on a warm summer day.
Vyrn: Gosh... That was so much work... I'm beat.
Lyria: Me too... We've just been so busy recently...
Io: I'm sick of busting my butt... I need some me time already.
Rosetta: Look at all the tired faces... But at least we're done with the heavy lifting.
Lyria: Good point! That was a lot to do, but now our plate is clear.
Vyrn: Really? Awesome, 'cuz I need a break.
Io: I totally agree with the lizard!
Vyrn: I ain't no...
Vyrn: Sigh... I'm too pooped to fight back...
With the large volume of tasks as of late, the crew has reached the point of exhaustion.
Rosetta: Well then... I think we should take some time off.
Rosetta: Do you have any ideas, (Captain)?
Lyria: What? Auguste?
Io: That's a great idea, (Captain)!
Vyrn: Auguste sounds like just the place to take a break!
Vyrn: They had this one juice... Can't remember the name of it, but I want some.
Io: Then it's decided! Everyone, get ready!
Lyria: Yeah!
Lyria: We'll need swimsuits, and floaties, and, um...
Vyrn: Just a second ago you were dead tired, but now you're doing a total one-eighty...
Io: Lizard! You wouldn't understand how much we need our relaxation time!
Vyrn: Hey! I ain't no dang lizard!
Rosetta: Hehehe... And now you're the one doing a one-eighty.
Vyrn: I'm not there yet...
Vyrn: But I will be once we get to Auguste... Haha!
Vyrn: I can feel myself starting to get pumped! How 'bout you, Rosetta?
Rosetta: Hm. I don't know...
Vyrn: Huh? Whatcha mean?
Rosetta: Oh, it's nothing. I just... need to get some sunscreen.
Rosetta: The sun is the skin's worst enemy, right?
Io: Y-yeah! Skin's worst enemy! We gotta protect ourselves!
Lyria: Umm... Do we really need to worry about getting sunburnt?
Io: Of course we do! It's what all refined people do.
Lyria: R-right! Then count me in!
Io: Once we're in our swimsui—
Io: Hm? Wait a second...
Io: Rosetta, do you even have a swimsuit? I've never seen you in one before...
Rosetta: Oh no, I'm fine. As long as you all have fun, you don't have to worry about me.
Lyria: Ahh... Rosetta, you won't join us?
Io: After all that hard work we did, we should all be out in the sand enjoying the beach together...
Rosetta: Io...
Io: Do swimsuits bother you?
Rosetta: No, it's not that. I've had one before.
Io: Okay, great! Then let's all get ready to splash around!
Rosetta: ...
Rosetta: I suppose... All right. I'll wear a swimsuit too.
Io: Really?
Rosetta: Yes.
Io: Yay!
Lyria: Hehehe. Good job, Io. I want to see Rosetta in a swimsuit too!
Io: (Captain)! We need a swimsuit and some sunscreen for Rosetta! Let's stop by the Knickknack Shack!
Io:
Io: No, now!
Io: How are we supposed to have a proper cooldown without that! Come on, let's get going!
Io: Now!

Forced by Io, the crew set off for the Knickknack Shack.
Lyria: Io, what do you think of this?
Io: That's good, but look at this...
Lyria: That's lovely!
Io: And to help Rosetta combat the sun, we should also get her a hat, right?
Io: What if we get her a pareo for her waist too...
Lyria: Wow! Io, look at this. Doesn't this purse look like something beautiful a grown-up would own?
Io: Oh my gosh! That would be perfect for Rosetta!
Io: Now we'll need to add some more accessories! Just to make sure it all comes together!
Lyria: Great idea!
Io and Lyria spend a great deal of time picking out a swimsuit ensemble for Rosetta.
Vyrn: So... I thought this was supposed to be a vacation. This is harder than all our missions combined...
The two either don't hear Vyrn's complaint or choose to ignore it completely.
Rosetta: Hehehe. The energy exuding from those two is making me really excited. I'm glad I came.
Vyrn: Really? Guess I'll deal with it a little more then...
Vyrn: But I don't really get how choosing someone else's swimsuit could be that much fun...
Rosetta: Choice is something everyone loves. Some people equate having choice with control, and control makes us feel powerful—it makes us feel alive.
Vyrn: That makes no sense...
In the midst of choosing, Io takes a swimsuit from the rack and pauses.
Io: ...
Lyria: What's wrong, Io?
Io: This is it.
Vyrn: Hm... Why that one?
Io: Wha? I... I don't know.
Vyrn: What the heck!
Io: But I don't need to know. The moment I saw this, I knew it was meant for Rosetta!
Rosetta: Then let me try it on. If it's my size, I'll buy it.
Io: Really?
Rosetta: Sure. I trust your instincts much more than I trust my own.
Io: Hehehe...
Rosetta takes the swimsuit and enters the changing room.
Rosetta: I'm coming out.
Vyrn: Whoa.
Lyria: Wow!
Io: Gasp!
Lyria: ...
Io: ...
Rosetta: ...?
H-how do I look?
H-how do I look?
Lyria: I-it's... You're just so beautiful...
Io: Y-you just caught me off guard, but...
Io: That looks amazing on you!
Rosetta: Is that so? Hehehe... Everyone was so quiet, I felt like something was off.
Vyrn: I don't know much about swimsuits, but yowza is all I got to say! Right, (Captain)?
Rosetta: Hehehe... So you like it too, (Captain)?
Rosetta: Looks like this was the right choice after all.
Choose: I think I'm in love...
Rosetta: Hehehe... I never thought I'd hear those words from you, (Captain).
Rosetta: Careful—I'm not even wearing my sunscreen yet. I might just get burned by that red-hot gaze of yours.

Rosetta: It's been so long since I've been in a swimsuit. I was a little anxious at first, but thanks to all of you, I feel much better.
Io: It's not just the swimsuit, you know! The hat and the pareo all look amaaazing on you!
Lyria: I second that! I need more words than pretty to describe how great you look!
Rosetta: Really... You all flatter me.
Io: This means we're totally ready! So...
Io: Off to Auguste!
Lyria: Yeah!
Vyrn: Sigh... Freakin' finally...
Vyrn: This better be a straight shot all the way to Auguste, ya hear! Haha!
And so the crew boards the airship and sets off for Auguste.
Rosetta: Things are going to get ugly...
Rosetta's small whisper is heard by no one.
