Please, Captain!
Vyrn and Lyria witness Seofon crying to (Captain). Because the other Eternals are preoccupied, he wishes to enlist the crew's aid in stall setup for an upcoming festival. They reluctantly agree and later join him at the festival site.
It is a customary afternoon, awash in the radiance of warm sunlight.
Seofon's Voice: Please, (Captain)! You've gotta do this for me!
Lyria: Huh? Was that Seofon's voice?
Vyrn: Sounded like it came from (Captain)'s room. Let's go take a look!
Seofon: You're the only one I can count on, (Captain)... Won't you do me this one solid?
(Captain) notices Lyria and Vyrn peeking out from behind the crying Seofon.
Lyria: Um... Is everything okay here?
Vyrn: We could hear ya from outside. What's this favor you're askin' for?
Seofon: Lyria! Vyrn! You two couldn't have shown up at a better time! Help me convince your captain!
Seofon: (Captain) just won't agree no matter what I say!
Seofon: I can't do this on my own—wait, I bet you're enjoying watching me squirm, aren't you, (Captain)?
Vyrn: Maybe you can start by tellin' us what exactly this is about.
Seofon: Right, where was I... Let me try to sum this up.
Seofon: I'm here as the leader of the Eternals to make an official request.
Vyrn: Yeah? Sounds like a big deal.
Lyria: S-so what does it involve?
Seofon: I need help running a festival stall!
Lyria: Running a...
Vyrn: Festival stall?
Gaze briefly shifting to the mildly exasperated duo, (Captain) casts a wry smile at Seofon as if to say, "I told you so."
Seofon: Hold on a second! Aren't your reactions a bit flat? This is where you're supposed to go, "Ooh!"
Seofon: Haven't you ever dreamed of handing out game prizes at a festival stall?
Seofon: Or cooking up yakisoba in a large griddle with dramatic flair?
Seofon: Because I sure have!
Lyria: I, er... can't say I haven't...
Seofon: See? I knew you'd understand, Lyria. It just so happens that the Eternals received such a request.
Seofon: As a festival lover, there's no way I could pass up a sweet deal like this, right?
Vyrn: You said somethin' like that during the Festival of Falling Flames too. Didn't know you were serious...
Seofon: When am I not serious? I'll have you know, I've been putting my heart and soul into livening up this coming festival!
Seofon: But as luck would have it, turns out we're short on manpower.
Seofon: Feower and Tien are busy in Stardust Town, while Fif and Eahta are out with Narmaya and Azusa...
Seofon: Seox is overseeing Jamil's training. Tweyen's gone shopping with Silva and her sisters.
Vyrn: Sounds like you've still got Anre, Threo, and Niyon.
Seofon: I do, but their hands will be full with the management side of the festival.
Seofon: Specifically, Anre's in charge of logistics and material procurement. Threo is aiding with setup and security, and Niyon will be holding a performance.
Seofon: Which leaves only me to man a stall!
Vyrn: Maybe you should've checked everyone's schedules before takin' on the request.
Seofon: The island's representative, who's an old friend of Anre's, asked directly. I couldn't say no—and besides—
Seofon: As much as I love just kicking back and enjoying festivals, I've always wanted to try running my own stall. So I jumped at the chance.
Seofon: And here I was daydreaming about how much fun it'd be running the stall with my fellow Eternals...
Seofon: But reality isn't always so kind. Honestly, we're in a tight spot.
Seofon: The island representative and the locals are all looking forward to a grand festival. The Eternals' reputation is on the line!
Seofon: Please, I beg of you! For the smiles of the island's people... Help this poor festival lover!
Choose: Should've explained all that earlier.
Seofon: Wha? Come to think of it, this was my first time giving you the full story...
Vyrn: You gotta be kiddin' me!
Lyria: W-well, I can see how being suddenly asked to help with a festival stall might feel overwhelming...
Seofon: So now that you know what's at stake, you'll help... right?
Seofon: Stop being such a tease, (Captain)!
Vyrn: The situation's mostly Seofon's fault, but hey, we wouldn't wanna disappoint the islanders, right?
Lyria: Let's stop teasing him and just accept, (Captain).
Seofon: Ah, Lyria, Vyrn, rarely have I heard more honeyed words! I'll be sure to buy you two candy apples at the festival!

(Captain) takes a moment before nodding in agreement.
Seofon: (Captain)! I knew you'd come around!
Seofon: Lyria, Vyrn, thanks for putting in a good word for me too!
Lyria: I think (Captain) was already planning to agree even if we didn't say anything...
Vyrn: Hey, who knows. Helpin' out with a stall could be fun. I'm lookin' forward to it already!
Seofon: I promise not to disappoint the customers—or any of you either!
Seofon: I'll let Rackam know the destination. See you guys later!
Seofon takes his leave, his elation apparent even from behind.
Days later, the crew makes landfall at the appointed island.
Seofon: Boy am I glad to see you guys! Prep work's literally just begun!
Seofon: Would you believe there's even stalls for cotton candy and balloon fishing? Of course, there's the good ol' yakisoba too!
Seofon: Most of the food stalls are ready to serve. Want me to treat you to anything?
Vyrn: 'Preciate it, but don't we have prep work to do?
Seofon: Oh... Yeah, good point.
Seofon: Let's finish up quick so we can get a chance to tour the festival grounds ourselves!
Seofon: Okay, off to our space! Follow me!
Vyrn: Weird how they're servin' food already when today's only for setup.
Lyria: Ahaha... It just goes to show how much everyone is looking forward to the main event.
(Captain) and company find themselves feeling inundated by Seofon's unusually high energy from the get-go.
