Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	(Captain), happy New Year. Can I do a dance to bring us safe travels and good fortune? As one of the Twelve Divine Generals, this is something I always did back home. And now that I'm a part of the crew, I want to dance and pray for all of you!
2	✔	Whew... (Captain)! How did you like my dance? Ehehe. I'm glad you liked it. Here's to our sound health, safe travels, good luck and fortune, and... Your continued improvement! I know that's a lot to ask for, but as one of the Twelve Divine Generals, I can tell you my prayer dance definitely works! Actually, since you're training all the time, you're bound to get stronger! And I'll be sure to keep up every step of the way!
3	✔	Vajra: Gar's tummy is so warm.. Yaaawn... Garjana: ... Vajra: I stayed up late last night on New Year's Eve... So while I was lying around, I got sleepy... Hey, (Captain), Gar says you can come closer. Here, you can sit next to me. Ahaha, you're really warm too, (Captain)... Let's take a nap together like this... Zzz...
4	✔	Vajra: Hey, (Captain), do you have a second? I wanna tell you something. I'm planning on being wide awake when we ring in the new year this time around! You know how I spent last year sleeping on Gar's warm tummy? I kind of regret not being energized for all the early activities later. What? Why are you looking at me like that? Wait, you wanted another end of the year nap with Gar? O-oh... Garjana: ... Vajra: I-in that case, let's just kick back and take it easy!
5	✔	Ooohh, the sun's finally out. It's super bright, huh? Feels good to have our long climb up this mountain pay off. We even woke up early since people said the view was amazing, and they weren't kidding. Kinda weird, isn't it... It's the same sun rising over the horizon, but it's totally different than seeing it from back home. Is it the clouds? Or the air up here? I'm not exactly sure, but... I can definitely feel we've come a long way! Now that the main event is over, we should head back to the ship. Nothing better than some good shut-eye after a nice morning. Can't wait to cuddle up to Gar and pass out!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy Valentine's, (Captain)! Hehe. You know, this is actually my first time celebrating Valentine's. Gar and the other dogs can't eat chocolate, and we didn't have anything like this back home. That makes you the first person I've ever given Valentine's goodies to! Hm? Ah, what I just threw Gar was a juicy steak, not chocolate!
2	✔	Ah, (Captain). Happy Valentine's. This is for you. Hm? Ah, sorry, I'm a bit worn-out right now. I made the chocolate myself this year, but... My puppies saw how much fun I was having and jumped into the fray. It wasn't easy holding them off. Sigh... I even told them in advance not to pester me when I'm making chocolate! It got a bit hectic, but I think the chocolates turned out quite nice. Let me know how you like them later!
3	✔	Happy Valentine's Day, (Captain). This is for you. I made chocolate again this year. Oh, the puppies? While I was making chocolate in the kitchen, they were playing with Gar and keeping him busy. Thanks to that, I was able to really concentrate on making it. So it should be better than last year's! Oh, but don't eat it here. Take it back with you and eat it when you're alone in your room. Why, you ask? Oh... Hm, I wonder why. It just came out of my mouth... When I imagine you opening it in front of me, I just start sweating and feeling awkward, even though I'm happy... Hm... I wonder what's gotten into me.
4	✔	Happy Valentine's Day! (Captain), these chocolates are for you! I made them a wee bit more special this year, actually. The cooking part was the same, but we blessed them with a special dance to keep you happy and safe on your journeys! And by we, I mean me, Gar, and the little ones! They were real pleased to contribute. Between that and the blessings for you, it's the perfect gift where everyone wins, don't you think? Th-though it feels kinda silly to admit it out loud in front of you... S-sorry, (Captain)! I gotta go! Enjoy the chocolates!
5	✔	Valentine's Day is here again. This is for you. I only started making chocolate after joining your crew, but I think this is the best batch I've made yet. Now I feel like I can do anything I put my mind to. The only thing is... Every time I see you on Valentine's, I always get red and nervous. This year especially, I feel my heart pounding like I've run a marathon or something, and all I've done is hand over some sweets. Do you think I'm sick? Is there a special cold you can only get on Valentine's? I appreciate the concern, but now I'm extra nervous with you staring at me... I-I should go! You should take care not to get sick either.

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	This is for me, (Captain)? Thanks! For White Day, huh? I'd actually forgotten all about it. But then Gar reminded me with a present earlier. Ehehe, see? He gave me this flower. You two make me as happy as a dog with two tails!
2	✔	Sniff... Mm, that's a really sweet smell on you, (Captain). Ah, today's White Day! Ehehe, thanks. I'm really happy to get these again this year. Ngh... My face is all hot. I must be coming down with a fever... Except I don't feel the least bit sick... It's more of a fluffy, happy kind of feeling... Looking at your face only gets me more hot and bothered, (Captain)... This is so weird. If this is a cold, I wouldn't want you to catch it. I'll be going back to my room. Sorry, (Captain). And thanks again!
3	✔	Vajra: Oh, (Captain)! This is for me? Ah, so it's White Day today. Hm? You prepared something for Gar and the puppies too? Haha, that's (Captain) for you! Isn't that great, guys? Garjana: ... Eka & Dvi & Tri: Woof, woof! Vajra: Ahaha, you're right. Let's give something back together! A present in return for a present... that's also in return! Hmmm, what should we do... We could do a dance, or have Gar carry us and go out together... Oh, maybe we can all get on (Captain)'s back and give the captain a massage! Hmm... All right! Let's do all of the above! Do you have some time today, (Captain)? We've got a whole bunch of things we'd like to do for you!
4	✔	Vajra: Whoa! That's a lot of boxes you got there, (Captain). Huh? For me? Oh, it's White Day, isn't it! Thanks for going out of your way every year! These bone-shaped cookies will definitely be a hit with this crowd! Garjana: ...! Eka & Dvi & Tri: Woof, woof! Vajra: They already look ready to pounce! You... made these with blessings for our happiness? Ehehe... Somehow it's more embarrassing to be on the receiving end of that than the giving. Trust me, (Captain). I'm already plenty happy thanks to you.
5	✔	Sniff, sniff... What's that I smell? White Day sweets! Thanks for making enough for everyone, like always! Hm? I seem more energetic than usual? Well, that'd be because of Eka and the rest. They wanted to prep an appreciation party for you since you're giving us stuff... So they practiced their paw step massage on my back first. Thanks to that, I'm super charged up and ready to go! I bet I could outrun everybody in the crew right now! Anyway, are you free for a bit? Mind if we give you a return gift for your return gift? Cool! I'll head over first and finish readying up. We'll be waiting for you!

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	It sure does get lively for Halloween. There's so much happening on the ship and in town! I feel pumped just being here! Of course, people aren't the only ones having fun... Anyway, we should head out to the festival too! C'mon, Gar! (Captain)!
2	✔	Vajra: Trick or treat! Hand over those goodies, or you're gonna be in for it! Heh heh heh! Go get 'em, Gar! Garjana: ... Vajra: Now's your chance to hand over the goods before Gar slobbers all over you! Well? What'll it be? Where are my treats? Gar! Garjana: ... Vajra: Hahaha! How do you like this strategy I came up with Gar? This plan of action ought to net me oodles of candy!
3	✔	Roooar! Haha, did I scare you? I saw you jump there, (Captain)! Ahaha, sorry. When I saw you with your back turned, I thought it was my chance to play a trick on you. Okay, now it's your turn. Give it your best shot! ... Hm? Come on, play your best trick on me. Then we'll be even. I'm giving you permission to do anything you want. Tickle me, frighten me... No need to hold back!
4	✔	I see you, (Captain). Hahaha, you think you can sneak up using the same tactics as me? Think— Huh? You weren't trying to prank me? Oh, sorry! You were just passing through, huh? Guess I was too quick to judge. Let's have a little do-over then. I'm going to be spending today trying to trick you good. You won't even see it coming. And in the meantime, you should try and trick me too. Whoever gets the first scare off wins! Hehe, ready? Better not hold back!
5	✔	See this, (Captain)? I made a dog mask that looks exactly like Gar! Nobody will be able to tell us apart! It's the perfect costume to go with the tricks I have planned for this year! Grrr, woof, woof! Bowow, arf, arf! Now that I think about it though, Gar doesn't really bark, huh? Ahaha! I'll be sure to gather lots of treats too! Don't worry, I'll be sure to share the spoils with you!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Season's greetings, (Captain)! This is the first time Gar and I have celebrated the holidays outside our hometown. It's so much more lively and fun with all these people around! I'm gonna go out to town to buy presents for everyone back home. Care to join me, (Captain)? I'd be so happy if you could show me where the best places to shop are!
2	✔	Vajra: Hey, Gar. Does this look right to you? Garjana: ... Vajra: Okay, great! Now to just present it to— Ah, (Captain)! Hahaha, guess you caught me, huh. I was hoping to lay the surprise on you. Today's that special day, right? I thought Gar and I could join in on the gift-giving this year. Gar will be the reindeer, and I'll be Santa Claus! Neat idea, don't you think? And I'm hoping you can keep this on the down low. Because I really want to see everyone's expressions when I surprise them! Of course, I'll drop by later with your present too! Hope you're looking forward to it!
3	✔	Vajra: Wow! This is my first time seeing a cake this big! Ooh, there are biscuits too! Could these be for Gar and the puppies? Thanks, (Captain)! Hehe. Wish it was the holy night every night... That way, we'd be able to have these delicious treats all the time! Oh, but I'm not just happy about the treats. It's being able to celebrate the season together with you, Gar, and the puppies that makes me happy! Eka & Dvi & Tri: Woof, woof! Vajra: Hm? You guys want to play some more? Hmm, okay... Then how about a snowball fight? We'll split into two teams and face off against each other! Garjana: ... Vajra: Haha, looks like everyone's ready to go! Then once we finish our cake, let's head outside!
4	✔	Vajra: Wow, would you look at all that snow! I think it's enough to make us one awesome igloo! A big one too! We can snuggle up with Gar and the pups in there! Oh? You wanna snack on some holiday treats while we're at it? That's a nice idea... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. All right, everyone, you ready to do this? Garjana: ... Eka, Dvi, and Tri: Woof, woof! Vajra: That's the spirit! Let's go!
5	✔	Is it just me, or do the holiday lights around town add an extra layer of fun to window shopping? Hm? Oh, (Captain), look at the bakery over there! They've got animal cupcakes. Ahaha, this one looks like Gar, what with the glum frown and everything! Huh? You sure it's okay to get it? Thanks, (Captain)! You're the best! Better be careful not to eat too much though, otherwise I won't have room for the party food later... Hold on. (Captain), let's split it! Good idea, right? Let's buy it before someone else beats us to it!

Like a Dog

Vajra plans on performing a war dance at the Canine Temple's combined festival and Halloween party. But after Garjana injures himself, he asks (Captain) to take his place as Vajra's partner. The clan elder agrees, but only on the condition that the two live together until the day of the event.

---

A cold, crisp air envelops the early morning forest.

Vajra: Hey, (Captain)! It's time for our morning walk!

1. Ruff!

Choose: Ruff!

Vajra: Haha! You're getting pretty good at barking!

Vajra jogs forward, with (Captain) following close behind.

Vajra: Who's a good doggie! You're doing a great job keeping up!

(Captain) predicts every one of Vajra's moves, from the direction she'd go down to the very branches she'd leap over.

Vajra: Hehe, nice! I think I've got a feel for your moves too!

Vajra: I'm sure we'll perform an amazing war dance now!

A while back, around the time of the year when the evening air started to feel chilly...

Vajra and Garjana made what appeared to be a formal visit to (Captain)'s quarters.

Vajra: Hey, (Captain)... Wanna dance with me at the Halloween party?

Vyrn: Wait... You're not talkin' about some normal dance, are you?

Lyria: She must be referring to that ceremony at the Canine Temple—the one wishing for good health.

Vajra: No, that's not it. I'm performing a war dance at the temple for a festival.

Lyria: A war dance?

Vajra: We throw a festival to honor the brave souls who fell during the War.

Vajra: And since I'm the current war deity, it's my job to make sure we pay our respects to those warriors.

Vajra: At this point though, we've just combined it with Halloween to make it one big festival where we honor our ancestors.

Imagining the potential fun that's about to manifest, Vajra reflexively perks her ears up.

Vajra: So, the purpose of this war dance is also to honor the fallen warriors...

Vajra: Back when it all started, the Divine Canine at the time partnered up with a dog for the performance.

Lyria: Like you and Gar! Then those pretty clothes you're wearing must be related to the festival too...

Vajra: Exactly! These matching outfits are also for the war dance!

1. It looks great on you!
2. So cute.

Choose: It looks great on you!

Vajra: Thanks!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: So cute.

Vajra: Is it really? All I did was add a few extra touches since it's Halloween...

Vajra: But thanks for the compliment, anyway!

Continue 1

Vajra: I was looking forward to celebrating with Gar, but he just had to get himself injured during our dance practice.

Lyria: What! Is he okay?

Garjana: I am perfectly well.

Vajra: ...

Vyrn: Hm? Wait a sec... So when ya say you wanna dance with (Captain), what you really mean is...

Garjana: That is correct. My master is requesting that you dance with her in my stead.

Garjana: There is precedent for a non-canine partner... And considering the performance's difficulty, (Captain) would make for an ideal replacement.

Vajra: At first, I wanted to ask Shan, but Gar specifically wanted it to be the captain.

Vajra: I think dancing with (Captain) would be super fun though! You can always count on our captain to step up!

Vajra: So what do you say, (Captain)? Will you be my partner?

1. Of course!
2. But I'm not a dog.
3. I've always wanted to be a dog.

Choose: Of course!

Vajra: Thanks, (Captain)! I knew you'd have my back!

Go to "Continue 2"

Choose: But I'm not a dog.

Vajra: Right... I guess I kinda sprung this on you out of the blue.

(Captain) agrees to play the role of Vajra's partner—albeit in a bipedal form.

Vajra: Really? Thanks, (Captain)!

Go to "Continue 2"

Choose: I've always wanted to be a dog.

Vajra: Whoa! That means you'll do it, right? Thanks!

Vajra: But it's okay. You don't have to become a dog.

Continue 2

Garjana turns toward (Captain) and bows deeply, as if to express his gratitude.

Garjana: ...
Please take good care of my master.

Vyrn: Ya don't even have to ask! It'll be a walk in the park for (Captain)!

Vajra: ...

As Vajra stares at Garjana, (Captain) notices the Divine General frowning ever so slightly.

Vajra, realizing that (Captain) had caught on, leans in and whispers to the captain.

Vajra: I don't think Gar actually injured himself.

Vajra: But I know he isn't lying to hurt me. As for why he'd do that, I have no idea...

Vajra: Sorry for mixing you up in my business.

Vajra: I am looking forward to dancing with you though.

The following day, (Captain) and the others pay the clan elder a visit to share the news with him.

Elder: I see... So you wish to have your captain stand in as your new dance partner.

Shanamka: Garjana... How poor must your constitution have been to injure yourself during practice!

Shanamka: Yet you dare call yourself Lady Vajra's partner? I would make a far better—

Vajra: Shanamka?

Shanamka: Whimper...

Shanamka: In any case, how did you end up hurt? I thought playing it safe was your forte.

Garjana: ...

Seeing Garjana avert his gaze, the elder claps his hands to garner the others' attention.

Elder: I believe I've heard enough. As an accomplished fighter, (Captain) is a perfectly acceptable replacement.

Vajra: Is that a yes!

Elder: My only concern is the compatibility between you two.

Vajra: Don't worry. (Captain) and I spar all the time. We have a good grasp of each other's abilities.

Elder: In that case, I have a question for (Captain).

Elder: The dogs here at the Canine Temple have lived together with Vajra. Put simply, they're nothing short of family.

Elder: Are you confident that you can keep pace with Vajra—just like them? Will you show us a true war dance?

(Captain) falls silent under the weight of the elder's sharp gaze.

Elder: By Halloween, (Captain) is to become a "dog" under Vajra's lead.

Vajra: Huh? What do you mean by that?

Elder: Have I not made myself clear? You both must live alongside each other and train as one.

Elder: Should you fail, I'm afraid I cannot permit you two to perform together.

Vajra: What the heck! Do you seriously have that little faith in me and (Captain)!

Elder: U-urgh... I did not mean to imply anything of the sort...

Before the situation could escalate any further, (Captain) begins to respond.

Vajra: We're here. This is the hut.

Vajra: Sure takes me back... When I was little, I used to come here all the time with the dogs and spend the night.

Vajra takes a slow look around the cramped quarters.

Vajra: Sorry again. I didn't think we'd have to spend our time together at a place like this...

Vajra: But still, I'm glad you agreed to help.

Vajra: Anyway, let's get this place all tidied up. There's so much dirt and dead leaves everywhere.

In a small forest hut near the Canine Temple, (Captain) and Vajra begin their harsh training together.

The question remains whether the two will be able to perform their war dance in tandem.

Elder: Phew... One wrong move, and I would have fallen out of my beloved granddaughter's graces.

Elder: So... I believe you owe me an explanation, Garjana.

Garjana: ...

Garjana bows respectfully, then hastily leaves the elder's presence.

Back to top

Staying Together

To deepen their bond, (Captain) and Vajra spend time together at a small forest hut nearby. They dedicate themselves to dance practice while interacting with the villagers, who claim that Vajra had been pure ever since she was a little girl. Hearing those words, she begins to feel uneasy.

---

Vajra prepares for her war dance at the Canine Temple's combined memorial and Halloween festival.

However, her dance partner Garjana ends up injuring himself, which results in (Captain) stepping in as his replacement.

Elder: By Halloween, (Captain) is to become a "dog" under Vajra's lead.

Elder: Should you fail, I'm afraid I cannot permit you two to perform together.

And so, (Captain) and Vajra stick it out in the woods in order to foster a mutual understanding of each other.

Vajra: Good morning!

Now awake, (Captain) returns the greeting.

Vajra: (Captain), you sure slept like a log! Your face looked super peaceful!

Vajra: But I guess that makes sense. We were cleaning for a while yesterday.

(Captain) stifles a large yawn before getting up, the cool air indicating that it was still early morning.

Vajra: Let's start by going for a walk! That's what Gar and I did whenever we were here.

Vajra: It's how you get closer to your dog—according to Elder, at least.

Vajra: Haha! (Captain), you're really keeping up!

Keeping up was the easy part. The real difficulty came from trying to understand Vajra's erratic movements.

Vajra: All right then! Let's take it up a notch!

Vajra: Phew... Time for a quick breather.

Vajra: Gar and I used to chill in the shadow of that big tree over there. We'd even climb the thing when we felt like it.

Vajra: Huh?

Vajra comes to an abrupt halt. The tree had fallen to the ground and lay before her, as if slumbering.

Vajra: Oh... It fell...

Vajra: Well, what can you do... The flow of time spares none, I guess. Nothing is permanent...

The canine deity stares at the tree for a while, then quickly turns toward the captain and flashes a smile.

Vajra: I'd mess around with the dogs on our walks.

Vajra: As for Gar, I used to ruffle his coat and pet him all the time...

Vajra: Wanna give it a try, (Captain)?

Seeing the captain nod, Vajra responds by placing her hand on (Captain)'s head.

Vajra: There, there... You did a great job keeping up!

1. Woof.

Choose: Woof.

Vajra: Hm? Are you trying to mimic a dog?

Vajra: "Woof" is wrong though. It should be more of a "ruff" kinda sound!

Vajra: Not that it matters either way. Garjana can talk, y'know.

Though at first amused by (Captain)'s continued attempts to act akin to a dog, Vajra soon begins to frown.

Vajra: Hrm... I really don't think you need to be a dog...

Vajra: But at the same time, if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it properly...

Vajra crosses her arms to think, and after a few moments, her face lights up.

Vajra: I know! I'll just show you how!

Vajra: It's my turn to be a dog. Watch closely, okay?

Vajra: Arf, arf!

Vajra: Pant, pant, pant...

Vajra: Hey, no spacing out on me. When I'm panting like this, it means I want head pats.

(Captain) happily complies, and the Divine General squeezes her eyes shut to enjoy the captain's gentle touch.

Vajra: ♪

1. What a cute dog!
2. Who's a good girl!

Choose: What a cute dog!

Vajra: Hehe, right?

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Who's a good girl!

Vajra: Hehe. Hahaha! That tickles!

Rubbing her smiling face up against (Captain)'s hand, Vajra plays the role of a dog to perfection.

Continue 1

Vajra: Elder was right about one thing though. I've spent my whole life around dogs.

Vajra lowers her ears and brings her mouth close to (Captain)'s arm.

Vajra: When Shan wanted to play, he'd bite my arm at this exact spot.

Vajra: Meanwhile, Gar would lean in and press his body up against mine.

Grabbing (Captain)'s hand, the Divine General spreads it wide open and comfortably nestles her chin in it.

Vajra: Sometimes, he'd brush his chin against my hand just like this.

Vajra: Eka would lick my face, Dvi would roll on the ground in front of me, and Tri would run around in circles nearby.

Vajra: How about we test it all out?

The two plop themselves on the ground, trying their best to roll around, but the action proves to be more challenging than they had initially assumed.

Vajra: Haha! This is way harder than it looks!

Vajra: But it was fun practicing to be a dog with you!

As she laughs, Vajra stretches her arms upward.

Vajra: I gathered some food in the forest before you woke up, (Captain).

Vajra: Let's head back to the hut and eat. We can start our training after that!

Vajra: Phew... That's enough for now.

Vajra: I see you're as talented as ever, (Captain)! You've already memorized all the dance moves!

Vajra notices (Captain)'s labored breathing and decides to cut their training session short.

Vajra: Let's see... You can tell how tired a person is by their breathing or their scent.

Vajra: You must be hungry from all that exercise. How about we grab lunch back at the village?

(Captain) and Vajra leave the forest behind them in search of sustenance.

Vajra: Good afternoon!

Old Lady: Well, if it isn't Lady Vajra! So you've returned.

Vajra: Yep, I was practicing for the upcoming war dance. The Halloween party is just around the corner, after all!

Old Man: Ah, yes. The festival... Is it already that time of the year?

Old Lady: Oh? And who might that young fellow be?

Vajra: That's (Captain)—skyfarer and travel companion! We'll be performing together this time!

Old Man: I see, I see... Your friend's presence is quite similar to that of Gar.

Old Lady: Now that you mention it, he also used to patiently wait by Lady Vajra's side when she was out for a walk.

Squinting their eyes, the two elderly villagers turn their gaze toward (Captain) before continuing to talk.

Old Man: Lady Vajra is a remarkable individual. She's always been pure and honest, like fresh spring water.

Vajra: ...

Old Lady: That being said, everyone naturally wishes to follow close behind her.

Old Lady: It isn't just the village dogs who adore her. She means the world to us residents as well.

Old Man: Long ago, during a particularly harsh storm, all the villagers gathered to check up on Lady Vajra.

Old Man: After hearing our voices—as well as that of the spirits—the gales were finally quelled.

(Captain) looks at Vajra with an astonished expression.

Vajra: It's no big deal. I just did what I felt needed to be done.

Old Lady: You've always been honest to a fault... That aspect of you has never changed.

Vajra: Yeah, I guess I'm still the same...

(Captain) and Vajra finish eating lunch with the other villagers, then head back to the small forest hut.

After a short nap, the pair resume training for their war dance, which they continue until the sun begins to set.

For dinner, they enjoy a simple take-out meal they had bought earlier. Then, after washing up, the two spend their last waking moments chatting.

Vajra: Ngh... Mmph...

Finally, with a long day of hard work behind them, (Captain) and Vajra get into bed and immediately doze off.

Staying Together: Scene 2

The duo's training pays off, and (Captain) notices that something is on Vajra's mind. The Divine General admits she's worried about never changing. However, she then confidently declares that she'll find her own answer—as long as (Captain) stays by her side.

---

With only a few days remaining until the Halloween party, (Captain) and Vajra's dance practice is going smoothly.

Vajra: Okay! That's enough training for today...

Vajra: Is what I'd usually say. Let's do a little bit more!

Drenched in sweat, (Captain) asks why.

Vajra: I know you're drop-dead tired now.

Vajra: But I can also tell that you've still got a bit more in you.

(Captain) pauses, realizing that Vajra's assumption was correct.

During past training sessions, the captain had always managed to push forward, even when on the verge of passing out.

Vajra: I told you, didn't I? It's like we're connected!

The following morning, (Captain) also experiences the fruit of the duo's joint labor.

Vajra: Who's a good doggie! You're doing a great job keeping up!

(Captain) fully understands every one of Vajra's moves, from the direction she'd go down to the very branches she'd leap over.

Vajra: Hehe, nice! I think I've got a feel for your moves too!

Vajra: I'm sure we'll perform an amazing war dance now!

While out on a walk, (Captain) and Vajra decide to take a short break by the fallen tree.

Vajra: Phew...

The rest spot had become a part of their daily routine, though the reason why was beyond (Captain)'s knowledge.

Vajra: ...

Vajra glances at the giant trunk for a brief moment.

Initially, (Captain) had assumed that she was merely reminiscing. But now, it's clear there was something on her mind.

Curious, the captain prods the Divine General with a question.

Vajra: Huh? You wanna know why I keep looking at that tree?

Vajra: Was I really doing that? I didn't even notice.

Vajra: Hrm... Good question...

1. Is something bothering you?
2. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

Choose: Is something bothering you?

Vajra: Bothering me?

(Captain) senses a chilly shade emanating from the otherwise bright and sunny bundle of joy that is Vajra.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Maybe I'm just imagining things.

Vajra: No... If you noticed something, I should probably think hard about it.

Continue 1

Vajra: But still... I usually just act according to how I feel...

Vajra: It's no big deal. I just did what I felt needed to be done.

Old Lady: You've always been honest to a fault... That aspect of you has never changed.

Vajra: Yeah, I guess I'm still the same...

Vajra: ...!

In a moment of realization, Vajra brings her hand up to her chest.

Vajra: I see... Of course you'd be the one to notice, (Captain).

Vajra: I've never really thought about putting this feeling into words, but...

Vajra: How long do I have to stay "pure"?

(Captain) listens thoughtfully as Vajra continues to pour her heart out.

Vajra: After all my travels with you and recent talks with Brosara, I've come to realize something.

Vajra: People are constantly changing.

Vajra: Brosara's fate was forced upon him by war. That's one kind of change.

Vajra: But he's kinder and stronger now, and I respect his strive to better himself.

With a warm expression, Vajra turns her gaze toward her blade.

Vajra: But everyone always tells me that I'm pure—like I'm some sort of flawless being.

Vajra: Until now, I've never questioned why the voices of spirits told me I was special.

Vajra: But then it dawned on me.

Vajra: Is it really okay for me to keep going like this? For things to stay as they are?

Vajra: I think that's why the fallen tree was bugging me.

The Divine General stares at the remains of the once magnificent tree.

Vajra: You sure are amazing, (Captain)—picking up something about me that even I myself couldn't.

(Captain) denies Vajra's claims, pointing out the fact that Garjana had also taken notice.

Vajra: Gar did too?

Vajra: That explains everything! He pretended to hurt himself so I'd spend time with you!

Having finally understood her canine subordinate's true intentions, Vajra lets out a short sigh.

Vajra: What do you think, (Captain)? Should I stay as I am, or—

Vajra: Actually, never mind.

Vajra: This is my own problem to face. I get the feeling that I'll come up with an answer as long as you're around.

(Captain) nods, then suggests that the two start heading back.

Vajra: Good idea! We'll get right to training after breakfast!

As always, the two spend the rest of the morning in the forest, head back to town for lunch, then return for more grueling dance practice.

The ensuing days fly by in the blink of an eye, and soon enough, the night prior to the Halloween party rolls around.

Vajra: ...

Vajra finds herself unable to fall asleep.

(Captain) shuffles a bit closer to the canine deity, but is otherwise silent.

Vajra: Gar does the same thing—lying by my side like that without saying a word.

Vajra: Hehe... Maybe all this dog training is finally paying off.

Vajra: Thanks, (Captain). And good night.

With a smile on her face, Vajra finally succumbs to her drowsiness and drifts off to sleep.

Staying Together: Scene 3

On the day of the Halloween party, the two perform their war dance flawlessly. Afterward, Vajra invites (Captain) back to the forest. She confesses that, even if she were to change later, her core beliefs would stay the same. With a renewed outlook on life, she then returns to the party with a smile.

The next day, the time comes for the Halloween party to commence.

At the Canine Temple, (Captain) and Vajra take to the stage adorned in flamboyant attire.

Vajra: Hah! Hragh!

(Captain): ...!

Vyrn: Yikes! It looks like they're really gonna cut each other down!

Old Lady: They're perfectly in sync. Truly an astounding connection!

Vajra: (I can feel (Captain)'s pulse like my own...)

The pair move in lockstep, prancing across the stage, their blades clashing brilliantly.

Elder: Sniff... My little Vajra has finally grown up...

After a spectacular finish, (Captain) and Vajra bow together as the audience erupts into an applause.

With the show now over, Lyria and the others run over to greet the two performers.

Lyria: Great job out there! You both were amazing!

Garjana: Master!

Garjana dashes to Vajra's side, his tail waving back and forth in excitement.

Vajra: Whoa there, Gar! Were you lonely while I was gone?

Vajra: What a cutie! Get over here!

Eka, Dvi, Tri: Woof, woof!

Vyrn: Haha, they're dogpilin' Vajra—literally!

Shanamka: Excuse me... I'd also like to join...

Vajra: Okay then! Let's get this party started!

Vajra: We'll start by grabbing some pumpkin pies! C'mon, everybody!

Following Vajra's lead, the crew visit the festival's various food stalls, then gather at the main square to eat.

Lyria: Nom, nom... The pumpkin pie and twisted potatoes are so good!

Vyrn: Careful with the puppies! There's a bunch of stuff they can't eat.

Shanamka: Worry not. Every dish here has been prepared for safe consumption by all—dogs included.

From a short distance away, (Captain) and Vajra watch the rest of the crew enjoying themselves.

Vajra: Hehe! Everyone's having so much fun.

Vajra: I owe you one, (Captain). Thanks for everything!

Thoroughly enjoying the Halloween festivities, (Captain) thanks Vajra back.

Vajra: Hey, (Captain). Can we slip away for a second? I wanna talk.

Vajra: It's something private, and now's our best chance.

Vajra pulls at (Captain)'s sleeve, and the two head into the dark forest nearby.

Finally, they arrive at the fallen tree they had passed many times on their morning walks.

Vajra: Those twisted potatoes are a recent addition.

Vajra: They taste great though—and look fun too!

Letting out a relaxed laugh, Vajra gently plops down on the fallen tree.

Vajra: Remember what I told you? About things staying the way they are?

Vajra: Well, I was up pretty late last night thinking about it...

Vajra: But after our performance today, I think I've figured it out!

Vajra: I really have no idea whether or not I should change!

(Captain) can't help but chuckle at the sight of Vajra's smile.

Vajra: But well... Even if a part of me were to change somewhere down the line, my core beliefs would stay the same.

Vajra: Hearing Gar and the others cheer me on during our performance, as well as dancing together with you...

Vajra: It sure was fun...

Vajra: I won't ever forget anything that happened today.

Vajra gently runs her hand across the decaying tree trunk on which she sat.

Vajra: Those times when I'd climb this tree with Gar, and the memories I made with the other villagers...

Vajra: They're precious to me—and I'm right there at the heart of it all.

Vajra: Ah, I get it now...

Vajra: The reason why I'm able to use spirit channeling isn't because I'm a blank slate.

Vajra: It's because everyone around me shaped who I am today.

The Divine General gives her head a few nods, before abruptly jolting upward.

Vajra: Thanks again, (Captain)! Our time together really cleared things up!

Vajra: And while I'm at it... I'd also like to thank the doggie hiding over there whose ears I see poking out!

Garjana: My sincerest apologies. I was following your scent and ended up here.

Vajra: It's okay, Gar.

Vajra: You were the first one to notice my heart wavering. That's why you had (Captain) be my dance partner, right?

Garjana: That is correct.

Garjana: I presumed a fresh perspective would push you to reflect on yourself as you spent some time here at home...

Vajra: No one understands me better than you do, Gar.

Vajra: Anyway, lie or not, hearing that you got hurt really made me worry. I know you had good intentions, but next time, please take a different approach.

Garjana: Very well... I will bear that in mind going forward.

Vajra: All righty then, how about we head back to the party? It'd be rude to keep everybody waiting!

Noticing Vajra dart in the direction of the village, (Captain) gets up to follow her.

Vajra: I've got an idea, (Captain). Wanna hit the haunted house later?

Vajra: Apparently, Elder goes all out with the decorations every year.

Met with a look of pure joy, (Captain) naturally accepts the invitation.

Suddenly, the captain is hit with the realization that the reason why everyone loves Vajra is because she loved them first.

Garjana: (Captain), I see you've finally come to understand the truth behind my master's being.

Garjana: Pardon my insolence, but not once did I doubt that you would succeed.

Garjana: Thank you for everything. Come what may, I leave my master in your capable hands.

With an enthusiastic nod, (Captain) runs alongside Garjana as the two catch up to Vajra.
