Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear (Captain). Happy birthday to you!
Congratulations, (Captain).
Did that sound okay? Someone taught me that song, but I wasn't sure I could sing it very well.
Hehe. This is my first time celebrating someone's birthday, and I like it!
We wouldn't be here talking right now if you hadn't been born.
Like, I know that sounds pretty obvious, but it's still sort of crazy to think about.
From now on I'm gonna be there every year to celebrate your birthday with you! I'm already looking forward to next year!
Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Hehehe. You know, I feel kinda happy whenever your birthday comes around.
I asked Bro Kou why that is, and he said it's probably because I really like you.
That's how I realized that when something good happens to someone I like, I feel happy for them!
So I hope a ton of good things are waiting for you from here on out.
If what Bro Kou said is true, then I'm sure I'll have a great time as long as you're smiling too!
I owe you a lot, so if you ever need anything, just ask! I wanna do what I can for you too!
Happy birthday, (Captain)!
You know, you've given me a whole lot...
A whole lot of happiness—I can't even begin to count all the things you've done for me. It makes me think, is it really okay for me to be having this much fun?
But then I realized that I can't just keep receiving from you. I need to give back too—and I'm gonna do a ton of that.
I wanna make you happy too, so I'm gonna do my best to do just that!
To start, here's a birthday present from me!
You're really important to me, you know. So much that I'd practically do anything for you. Expect great things from me!
Happy birthday, (Captain)! Thanks for letting me celebrate your birthday again, (Captain). I guess it's kinda weird for me to thank you for letting me celebrate, but... I'm just really happy. Thanks for always bringing so much happiness into my life. I'm really glad you were born into these skies. Hehe... Anyway, let's have a party! We're gonna pamper you a ton today! You better be ready, (Captain)!
Happy birthday, (Captain)!
I asked Sis Societte and Sis Yuel for birthday present ideas.
But they told me to just give you whatever I wanted.
Sui and Bro Kou also said the same thing, so I tried to think of something that'd express my feelings.
So I decided on this—from now on, I'll always stay with you, (Captain)!
You might be thinking why I'm mentioning that now all of a sudden, but in my mind it's the best present I can give you.
Hey! You don't have to start patting my head!
But... I don't mind if you keep doing it...
I feel kinda bad that you're always doing stuff for me, so let me know what I can do for you!
You don't have to answer me right away. After all, we've got all the time in the world together now!
Happy New Year, (Captain).
Yep, I know what New Year's resolutions are.
My goals for this year are to learn how to be more fashionable and to completely stop grinding my teeth.
That way I can be more womanly like Sis Yuel and Sis Societte, you know?
Choose: Aren't you cute enough as you are? What the! Since when am I cute!
Choose: Bro Kou will be happy to hear that! Th-this has nothing to do with him!
Gimme a break! Teasing me is no way to start off the new year!
Damn it... It hasn't even been a day yet, and I already started grinding my teeth again!
Tch. That one doesn't count! You're gonna help me kick the habit, (Captain)!
(Captain)! Mochi sure is fun, isn't it? See how they puff up when you grill them? When you bite into it, it's chewy and stretches... but the puffy parts are thin and crispy! Then you dunk it in this sauce, right? It gets all sweet and sticky, and tastes so good! I'm really loving this! It's my first time having mochi, and it's so much fun! Not to mention delicious! How do you like to have your mochi, (Captain)? I wanna know!
Streeetch.
Haha! Look, (Captain)! This mochi's really stretchy!
Sis Yuel and Sis Societte hammered some mochi and made these! Amazing, right?
They're super chewy and taste really good... I want to try hammering mochi sometime too... Choose: Let's make some together.
You mean it? Can I really try hammering mochi?
But Bro Kou told me that you need to be in sync with your partner when hammering mochi...
But I'm sure the two of us'll be just fine! Let's start making some!
Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Hm? You've got a present for me? What is it...
Wait, it's rupies! What's this for? Did I help you out with something?
Oh... I didn't know there was a custom like that!
Okay, then I guess I should give you some New Year's rupies too!
Huh? No need? But then it'll only be me getting a present...
Okay, how about we go to a festival at a shrine together then? I'll treat you to some things there! Haha!
(Captain)! Happy New Year!
We're gonna go eat rice cake soup and then do some calligraphy, right?
I'm so excited for everything! I feel like I can't sit still!
Oh! I also wanna try flying kites! After we're done writing calligraphy, we should do it together!
Ahh... So many fun things to do... It's like a dream.
Joining the crew was one of the best decisions of my life. I can't wait to spend another year with you, (Captain)!
Hey, can I talk to you, (Captain)? So today is when you're supposed to show appreciation for the people you care about, right? Well, since you're always looking out for me... I figured I'd try making you some tasty treats. I've never done it before though, so they probably won't taste that good... Luckily Sis Yuel and Sis Societte pitched in to make sure they're edible. Should be anyway. Um, so... Uh... Ugh, come on! Why does my chest feel so tight? Here! Take them, okay? They're all yours!
Today's Valentine's Day. Which is why I tried my best to make these treats. How they turned out? Um, not so different from last time. Don't get your hopes up, okay? Huh? You think the wrapping is cute? Really! You really think it's charming? Well, the snacks inside aren't very good, so I thought I would at least make it pretty, buying a bag with a ribbon on it. Hey! Why are you patting my head? I didn't work so hard for you to do that! Ngh... I've got a hot head, so if your chocolates melt, don't blame me!
Hehehe! Get a load of this! The chocolates this year are perfect!
There's no point if only the wrapping's nice every year, right?
So I practiced a lot with Sis Societte and Sis Yuel this time!
I wanted to make something delicious for you, (Captain)!
Whoa! Hey, you can't just start patting me on the head! You always do that!
I mean... I'm not saying you can't pat me on the head. Just... not so suddenly!
I get surprised...
Your pats are very gentle though, so I like them a lot.
Erk... It's... getting really hot. These chocolates are gonna melt...
(Captain)! Happy Valentine's! I made something for you again!
Hm? Oh, you're going to give me pats again this year... No, I don't hate them.
H-how does my fur feel? Smooth, right? I thought you'd come to pet me. so... I used a nice treatment for my fur...
I put effort in... and stuff...
Wha! Wait! That hug was too sudden!
But... I guess I don't hate this either. Hehe!
(Captain)! Here's some Valentine's Day chocolate for you!
Um... You're gonna make me blush if you smile like that...
Huh? Are you not going to pat my head this year?
Oh, there it is! Were you trying to keep me on my toes?
Well... I had a feeling you'd do it again so I tried to make my hair look nice...
I dressed up a bit nicer this year too...
Ahh! Hey, don't tousle my hair like that!
It took me a while to style my hair... But it's not like I hate what you're doing either...
Hehe... It's okay, I'll just style it again! (Captain), make sure you pay attention, okay?
Oh, whoa! Hey, (Captain)! What are the odds of us bumping into each other here of all places, huh? Or maybe you were actually looking for me? Haha.
No? Not really?
R-right, obviously!
(What the hell, (Captain). Did you only come to see me as a joke?) Seeing the sullen look on You's face, (Captain) whips out a present kept hidden behind the captain's back.
Is that what I think it is! I knew it was a return gift for Valentine's Day!
Hell yeah! This is the first time I've ever gotten a gift in return!
Thank you, (Captain)! You better believe I'll enjoy these!
(Captain)... Heard you wanted me, but why the rush?
Oh no... Have I messed up somehow? Is that why you called me to your room?
Huh? Saying thanks for Valentine's?
Ah! You're right! Today is White Day! You're going to give me a thank you present?
Phew... Seriously, I thought you were upset. I'm so relieved.
Hehe. Your treats are the best, (Captain)! Thank you! I'll munch through them with love!
Another present in return for this year's Valentine's?
You know, I feel like I keep receiving from you...
And that's why I decided to prepare something in return for your return present!
Wha?
Another package? Is this... a return present for my return present that's in return for your present? You saw right through me!
Gah... Guess I just can't win against you...
Or that's what you think! I saw through you too, so I made sure to prepare a return present for your return present in return for my return present that's in return for your—
Wait a second... Don't tell me that's... another return present for my return present that's in return for your return present in return for my return present that I gave in return for your present...
U-um... Wait right here. I'll go prepare a present right now for your return present that you're giving me in return for...
Aaack! Now I'm getting really confused! Fine, you win!
You can't give me a return gift for my return gift, okay?
This year, I'm gonna give you a gift in return for your gift and that's it!
Last year was crazy! You remember how many treats I ended up getting, right?
Huh? W-wait... The mountain of packages behind you... Don't tell me those are return gifts in return for the return gifts that're in return for—
I-I can't let your efforts go to waste! I don't wanna wave off your thoughts just like that!
Ngh... I was supposed to give you something in return for your gift, but I always end up being on the receiving end... Though, I guess that's okay!
Hehe. It makes me happy, you know? I've never experienced anything like this before. Thanks, (Captain).
Wow! Look at all this delicious candy! Thank you so much for giving me a Valentine's Day gift in return!
Of course, I've already prepared a gift in return for your gift in return.
Hehehe... It's a good luck bracelet!
The materials aren't special or anything, but I put a lot of effort into making it!
I went shopping with Sis Societte, Sis Yuel, and Sui... It took us days to pick out the right colored threads...
Bro Kou helped me as I wove everything together. It was a lot of fun!
So instead of preparing a mountain of gifts in return, I'm going to bet it all on this one bracelet!
Hehehe... I bet you didn't see this one coming!
Wh-what did you say! You also made a bracelet?
Gah... I thought I was gonna win for sure...
But... Hehe... Knowing that you put your all into making this bracelet for me makes me super happy, (Captain).
And I haven't forgotten about the candies either! Thank you, (Captain)!
Trick or treat! Give me something good to eat or suffer the consequences!
How was that, (Captain)? I've been practicing for my first Halloween!
Huh? You think I still have a long way to go?
Fine then. Why don't you show me how it's done? (Captain) hides out of sight. After letting the suspense build to a palpable level, the captain unleashes the mightiest "trick or treat!" ever mustered.
Eeek! I'm so s-s-sorry!
I was in the wrong! Please forgive me! Just take all my candy or whatever!
Huff... Huff...
Geez... When it comes to Halloween, (Captain)'s on a whole nother level...
Found you! It's Halloween today, (Captain)! Let me play some tricks on you!
All right then, this is for always teasing me! Here comes Sis Yuel's ruffle attack!
Ruffle, ruffle, ruffle, ruffle!
Huh? You don't look very bothered by it... Aren't you embarrassed having your hair ruffled like that?
Whaaa! Hey, you can't ruffle my hair back like that! It's against the rules!
Ahahaha! That tickles! Hahaha!
I give up! I'll give you some candy, so just let me go already!
Huff... Huff... Guess I just can't win against you, huh?
Happy Halloween! And that means... it's prank time!
Heh heh heh... Today, I'll be giving you a tickle attack that's like nothing you've experienced before... with my tails!
Take this, (Captain)! Ruffle, ruffle! Tickle, tickle! You's six tails come alive, moving quickly and enveloping (Captain) in an instant.
How's that? Tickles, right?
Huh?
You look... awfully happy... Wait, what? You're saying it... feels nice?
That can't be... You mean... I've lost again? You're invincible, (Captain)...
... (Captain).
D-do you have a minute? Don't you get the feeling that... everyone's putting a ton of effort into this year's Halloween?
Huh? U-um, you know! Like that costume over there... They look so scary, I can't make eye contact...
Th-think we could maybe... hold hands? For just a bit?
Hehe... I'm glad I can depend on you, (Captain).
(Captain!) Heeey! Trick or treat! Wait, (Captain)! Are you seriously giving me all of this? Pumpkin cookies, candies, chocolates, marshmallows, jelly beans... Wow... Everything looks so good! I was gonna play a trick on you, but getting all these sweets isn't half bad! Let's eat together, (Captain)! But once we're done eating... I've got some tricks up my sleeve to show you!
Hey, hey, (Captain)! Look what I got! I found this present next to my bed when I woke up! Santa came to visit me! What a swell guy! Oh, yeah! I have to tell him thanks! But, um... How am I supposed to meet him anyway? Hm... As long as I stay on his nice list, maybe I can try to catch him next year.
Hey, I saw Bro Kou in that room over there decorating for the party just now...
Is there anything I can help with too, (Captain)?
Preparing the dishes to be served?
Th-that's a pretty important task... Are you sure you want me to do it?
Well... you can leave it to me! I've been in charge of cooking and stuff recently, so arranging it nicely on dishes should be easy!
Okay... So you want me to put the veggies around the meat? Gotcha! I'll make sure they look nice for everyone to enjoy!
Look, (Captain)! Look, look, look!
Santa came and left a ton of presents here!
There's cookies and candy and cake and deluxe fried tofu! Apparently it's all for me!
Here, I'll share them with you! Let's eat these together!
Hm? Why're you staring at me like that? I just wanna share these and... what was it again...
Oh yeah, "pay it forward"! Happiness is meant to be shared with the people around you, right?
Hehe. I learned that from you, Sis Yuel, Sis Societte, and Bro Kou.
But it's strange. The wrapping paper smells... kinda like you, (Captain).
Oh well. Anyway, come on! Let's dig in together!
(Captain)! Hey, (Captain)! Let's dress up as Santa!
I've got a present for Bro Kou, but I was thinking, just giving it to him like this would be kinda boring!
So why don't you dress up as Santa with me, and we can give Bro Kou a surprise!
And take a look at this! I prepared something for everyone in the crew! I used the savings I had stored up for a while!
Hehe, I hope the presents will make everyone happy. Come on, let's go, (Captain)!
Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Let's be Santa Claus together and hand out presents to the crew again this year!
Remember how everyone was super happy about it last year?
It's nice to receive gifts, but it feels even better to give sometimes.
If it wasn't for you, Bro Kou, Sis Yuel, and Sis Societte, I wouldn't have realized this.
Thank you!
Anyway, no time to wait—we got lots of presents to deliver! Haha! Sit tight everyone, we're coming!

Kou and the Hollow Existence - Chapter 7: Her Atonement - Episode 1
You returns Yuel's and Societte's flames and apologizes for all the wrong she's done up to this point. However, Yuel does not forgive her so easily and urges her to formally apologize to the people of Mimaka and all the other successors.
Ninetails's reign of evil comes to an end at the hands of (Captain) and company. Now that the wicked monstrosity is vanquished, they return to the Grandcypher.
(Captain) escorts You into a room where Yuel and Societte lie in a comatose state.
Yuel & Societte: ...
You: I'm sorry. Let me give everything back.
The girl offers her apology as she takes Yuel's hand in her own. A familiar indigo flame envelops You.
Gradually the flame turns red and diffuses over Yuel's body.
Yuel: Nnh...
Yuel's murmur signals to You that her awareness is returning, so she moves on to Societte.
You's flame turns blue this time before spreading over Societte.
The flames go out after a short while, and the two bedridden Erunes slowly open their eyes.
Yuel: Yawn... That was a good sleep.
Societte: Huh? Are we on (Captain)'s ship?
Kou: Yuel... Societte...
Kou: Good morning, you two.
Societte: Kou? Um, good morning?
Lyria: What a relief to see you both awake. Does it hurt anywhere?
Societte: No, I feel perfectly fine.
Yuel: Same here. Hm. Actually, my throat kinda hurts.
You: ...
Societte: What!
Yuel: It's Y-You!
Yuel: Ah! I remember now! My throat hurts 'cause ya had yer mitts wrapped around it!
Yuel: What are ya after now, huh? Come to raid (Captain)'s airship?
Yuel leaps out of bed, striking up a war pose.
Lyria: Yikes! C-calm down, Yuel!
Yuel: Why should I? She's our enemy!
Kou: No, she's not our enemy anymore!
Societte: Oh? But what about all the things she's done?
You: Um... You don't have to believe me, but I'm through fighting.
Yuel: Huh?
You: I'm sorry for all the awful things I did to you. I'm really sorry.
Yuel and Societte look at each other in surprise. They weren't expecting to see You bowing her head in shame.
(Captain) and company explain in detail the events that took place while Yuel and Societte were knocked out of action.
Societte: I see. Kou and You both had the same troubled upbringing and circumstances.
Yuel: Geez, it ain't easy bein' a royal.
Kou: I had no idea either that the eighth family was plotting to resurrect Ninetails.
Kou: They subjected You to torture because they needed a spare vessel. What's worse is they had no qualms with killing her when she was no longer needed!
Kou: Damn that rotten royal family!
Yuel: Yep, Kou nailed it. Ninetails and the eighth family are rotten to the core.
Yuel: You's definitely not a bad girl! Guess I'm just gonna have to forgive her after all!
Yuel: ... Yeah right.
You: Oh...
Lyria: But it's not like all of this was her fault!
Societte: Lyria's right, Yuel. Can't you let her off the hook?
Yuel: Wow, you guys are way too soft. Naive even.
Yuel: Did ya forget how she had me by the neck and then tossed me like a doll? You got injured too, Societte.
Societte: Yes, but—
Yuel: And then there's Kou. She almost murdered ya.
Yuel: Ya really gonna forgive her after all that?
Kou: Yeah. I don't hold it against her.
Kou: She's reflected on what's she's done. I think she can atone for her mistakes.
Kou: When I think back to the way you all reached out to me, that's what I want to do for You too.
Societte: I see. Heehee, you've really matured, Kou.
Yuel: All right. If that's how ya see it, then I'll let it go.
Yuel: But there's a whole bunch of people who aren't gonna be won over by a few sorrys.
You: Yeah, I know...
You: I did terrible things to the townspeople of Mimaka and the members of the other royal families.
Kou and the Hollow Existence - Chapter 7: Her Atonement - Episode 2
The crew returns to Mimaka with You in tow to explain her circumstances. Though the majority of the townspeople are unwilling to forgive You, the innkeeper wants to give You a chance at redemption and asks the crew for help with repairs to her establishment, scorched in the battle earlier.
The townspeople of Mimaka are busy rebuilding their damaged homes, when (Captain) asks them all to gather in the town square.
(Captain) and Kou explain the circumstances behind the events that have unfolded. You bows her head in repentant apology the entire time.
It doesn't seem to go over well, however.
Mimaka Resident 1: All right. I'm sorry to hear that, but what else do you want me to say?
Mimaka Resident 2: Is her being sorry supposed to bring our town back to the way it was?
You: Ooh...
You: I'll do whatever I can! Tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it!
You: I'm not asking you to forgive me, but at least let me help out somehow!
Mimaka Resident 1: No thanks. Honestly I don't wanna see your face around here anymore.
Mimaka Resident 2: Who in their right mind would let a ticking fire bomb stay in their town?
You: That won't happen again! I swear!
Mimaka Resident 2: Hah. I'm not gambling on that. Look, we're busy, so take a hike.
Mimaka Resident 1: Well said! Get lost! We aren't going to lock you up, but don't go getting the wrong idea!
You: Nnh...
The townspeople start to disperse, unwilling to accept You's sincere words.
You stands there heartbroken, but it's Kou's emphatic pleading that comes to her aid.
Kou: Please wait! I have something to say!
Mimaka Residents: ...!
Kou's sudden urging takes the townspeople by surprise.
When they turn back around, they see (Captain) and company bowing their heads in solidarity.
Mimaka Resident 2: Wait, why are you guys taking the fall with her!
Yuel: I know how tough it is for y'all to forgive her, but can't ya at least give the girl a chance?
Societte: I believe she's good at heart. So please don't write her off.
Kou: This is how far we'll go. Allow us to offer ourselves in helping You make up for her mistakes.
Kou and the Hollow Existence - Chapter 7: Her Atonement - Episode 3
(Captain) and company head into the forest to gather materials for repairs. When You wonders why the crew is so nice to her, they tell the story of how they worked with Kou to restore a field he trampled in the past.
The crew's first task is to repair the scorched outer wall of the hot spring's outdoor pool.
They head into Mimaka's forest to collect wood.
Halfway through their work, however, You suddenly stops.
You: ...
Kou: What's wrong?
The others follow You's gaze.
She's looking at a field of flowers, or at least the charred remains of one.
You: It must've looked so pretty with all the different colors and everything.
You: But now it's all black like charcoal... My flames burned those flowers to a crisp.
Kou and the Hollow Existence - Chapter 7: Her Atonement - Episode 4
Seeing You work so hard to repair the inn's walls, the people of Mimaka gradually come to forgive her. That night, she sees a dream where she confronts her other, more sinister self.
With help from the crew and You's own diligence, the hot spring wall is made good as new.
They do such a fine job, in fact, that it takes the innkeeper's breath away when she comes to inspect it.
Innkeeper: Well, isn't that something. That rickety old wall doesn't hold a candle to this one.
Innkeeper: This is some sturdy timber you picked up. It's going to take a tornado to blow it down. I'm glad I put you in charge.
You: Really?
Innkeeper: Mm-hm. Lying isn't in my blood. Thanks. You've been such dears.
Yuel: Good goin', You. That's one happy customer for the books!
You: Y-yeah...
You: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Innkeeper: Sure, since you're so eager to offer. I have a bunch of errands that need to be run.
You: Okay! I'm all ears!
Innkeeper: That's what I like to hear. All right, lads. Your turn.
Kou: I have a bad feeling about this...
The innkeeper claps, immediately followed by a rumbling of approaching footsteps.
Washers: Yo! At your call!
Kou: Oh crap! I knew it was them!
Innkeeper: Teach them how this place runs. Be gentle, but thorough. Got it?
Washers: Righto! This way, girl!
You: Huh? Wha?
Kou: Wait! Why am I going too!
You & Kou: Yaaagh!
Kou and You are hoisted onto the shoulders of the washers and promptly taken inside the inn.
Societte: Oh. They got taken away again.
And so the washers begin teaching You and Kou how to run a hot spring establishment.
Over the following days, You and the others settle into an efficient routine of maintaining the inn.
Washer 1: Lady You! Sir Kou! Have you replaced the towels?
You: Yep, all done. All the bathrobes are also washed and restocked.
Kou: All tubs are scrubbed, and the water has been heated. The only thing left is to make the guest rooms.
Washer 2: Oh... Well... Seems like we've fallen behind by a few floors...
Washer 3: We can't be outdone! Put some more backbone into it, men!
You: Can you take care of cleaning the rooms, Bro Kou? I'm gonna help the innkeeper in the kitchen.
Kou: Sure, I've got you covered. And, uh, maybe you could stop calling me "Bro"?
You: Hehe! Hey, old lady! Is that braised bean curd you're making? I'm real good at that, so let me do it!
Innkeeper: That would be a huge help, You. Thanks.
Yuel: Yowza. Kou and You have this inn stuff down pat.
Lyria: I don't think our help is needed anymore.
Societte: Kou sure has grown up, hasn't he? He's become so supportive of You.
Yuel: I feel happy but lonely at the same time. Gonna need to get my bullyin' on later.
Vyrn: Haha... Try to go easy on 'im.
(Captain) and company are impressed by the youngsters' work ethic.
But it's not just them that have taken notice.
Mimaka Residents: ...
It would seem that You's hard work has resonated with the townspeople as well.
Mimaka Resident 1: She's really giving it her all, isn't she?
Mimaka Resident 2: I've changed my mind. Her efforts to redeem herself seem pretty genuine to me.
Mimaka Resident 1: I think I'll ask for her help.
Mimaka Resident 2: I was just thinking of doing that too. Could use all the help that's available.
The townspeople of Mimaka begin coming to You with requests of their own.
No matter how menial the task, she does it all with a smile—from sweeping floors to busing tables.
One day You and the others arrive in town to start working as usual.
But this time the townspeople have gathered in the town square for some reason.
You: What's everyone doing here? Is there a festival today?
Mimaka Resident 1: No, that's not it, You.
Innkeeper: We've all gathered to tell you something.
You: H-huh? W-was it something I did?
Mimaka Resident 2: No, not at all! You're not in trouble. In fact, I have a good feeling you're going to like what you hear!
Mimaka Resident 1: Thanks to your help, Mimaka is even better than ever. Just when I'd gotten used to all the hustle and bustle too.
Mimaka Resident 1: We really want to thank you for everything. You've done enough, You.
Vyrn: Does that mean you're forgiving her?
Mimaka Resident 2: That it does. You have our utmost thanks.
Mimaka Resident 1: No one bears ill will anymore, You. We appreciate what you've done for us.
Yuel: That's great, You. Ya really showed off yer good side.
Societte: All because of the hard work you put in. This calls for a pat on the head.
You: Hehe. Yay. I'm forgiv—
Ninetails: A sin is a sin! You can't weasel your way out of this! No one will forgive you!
You: ...!
Lyria: Something wrong, You?
You: Erm, it's nothing...
You: Say! Are you guys absolutely sure there's nothing else I can do?
Mimaka Resident 1: Hm?
You: There has to be something you missed! I'll even take out the trash!
Kou: You?
Mimaka Resident 2: We can't ask you to do anymore. That wouldn't be moral...
You: Don't say that! I'm the immoral one, remember!
You: I haven't done nearly enough to earn your forgiveness yet! Please! I'd like to do any other jobs you can think of!
The rattled girl lowers her head to the townspeople.
Everyone is unsettled by her sudden shift in behavior.
Societte: Come on, You. Lift your head, okay? No one's mad anymore.
You's resolve to right her wrongs of the past shines through, allowing her to part with the more malicious side of her. She comes to be accepted by everyone in Mimaka and eventually decides to go on a journey to return the flames to the other successors and ask for forgiveness. As a parting gift, (Captain) and company let her know that she'll always have a home on the Grandcypher.
Alter You: Damn it!
You: Let's just stop this already. We have the same memories, don't we?
You: Don't you remember that Mommy and Daddy love us?
Alter You: ...!
You: They wanted us to live our way. That's what they wrote in the letter.
You: And that's what I'm going to do. So I can't die here.
You: I own my sins. I'm not gonna run away from them.
Alter You: ...
You: And another thing. I now have other people who fill me with love.
You: So I know it's okay for me to keep on living.
Alter You: Even though it's only going to get harder from now on?
You: Yeah, I know. Thanks for the warning.
You: But I have to say goodbye to the old me!
A long sigh escapes from the alternate You when she sees the reinvigorated expression on You's face.
And then the alternate You slowly fades away.
The sun rises on a new day.
You: Hey, guys! Morning!
Lyria: G-good morning, You.
Yuel: Whoa. Somebody woke up on the right side of the bed!
Kou: Did something happen?
You: Yeah. Kinda. I got a few things sorted out.
You: Gahaha! You guys are great for clearing out the clutter in my heart and my head!
You: Thanks!
Vyrn: Um, you're welcome?
You: Bro Kou! Let's go to Mimaka for some fun instead of work for a change!
Kou: You really don't have to call me—
Kou: Hey, that's my arm! Okay, I get it! Stop pulling!
Societte: I'm not sure what happened, but it seems she got rid of her inner demons.
Societte and Yuel notice You looking longingly at two girls shopping for accessories, and they ask her if she wants to go shopping too. Despite You's repeated negativity about her own appearance, Societte and Yuel drag her into a store to try on makeup and accessories. You is amazed by her makeover and suddenly bolts from the shop.
Accompanied by a few fellow travelers, You embarked on a journey of her own.
The girl sought out each of the royal successors to return the sacred treasures, dances, and Ninetails's flames that she stole from them.
Kou, Yuel, and Societte were always with her to help explain why You did what she did. Thanks to their unwavering support, her apologies were accepted without incident.
Having expressed regret to the final successor on the list, You and the others rendezvous with (Captain), who had been off taking care of a different job.
They're enjoying their break in a nearby town when (Captain) catches You gazing wistfully across the street.
You: ...
Adolescent Girl 1: Ooh, isn't this ribbon the cutest? It'll look great in my hair!
Adolescent Girl 2: This new type of foundation looks nice too! Let's try it out!
You: Wha? No way! I'd stick out like a sore thumb in a shop full of cute things! Everyone'll laugh at me!
Societte: Heehee. Oh, I think you'll be fine. No one's going to laugh at you in there.

Yuel: Hey, You's about at that age. Ya know, a time in every girl's life when she starts to blossom.
You: Quit making fun of me.
Yuel: Ahaha, sorry, sorry. Seriously though, if yer interested in hair accessories, go ahead and try some on.
You: N-no, I think I'm good...
Kou: Why not? We're already here, so you might as well go for it.
You: I can't, okay? They'd all look ugly on me!
You: Cute things only belong on pretty ladies like Sis Yuel and Sis Societte!
Yuel: What in the hay are ya talkin' about? You're just as much a lady as we are! And cute as a button!
You: Huh? What part of me is cute?
Societte: Um... Every part?
You: That's way too vague!
Societte: But it's true.
Lyria: I agree with Societte and Yuel. I think You is very adorable.
Lyria: Like when she mumbles in her sleep while curled up in a ball!
Societte: Heehee. It makes me smile seeing her fall back asleep like that.
You: Ack! Do I really do that in my sleep? Funny. I don't remember a thing...
Yuel: Ya also act kinda like a kid who's afraid of the dark. Makes me wanna give ya a big hug.
You: Th-that's...
Yuel: And doesn't she have such big eyes for a petite face? Her little canines poke out when she opens her mouth too.
You: Ergh... Enough...
Societte: I like all those tails of yours. Your ears are bigger than ours too. More like cutesy rabbit ears...
Kou: Oh, and—
You: Aaah, put a sock in it!
You: Krrrk... My face is getting all hot! You're pissing me off!
Yuel: Ahaha. But that teeth grinding isn't becoming of a lady.
You must not have noticed her habit, for she quickly forces herself to stop.
You: Mmph!
Yuel: I love the way ya do that! Keep it up, You!
You: When are you gonna finish teasing me!
Yuel: Hahaha. Sorry fer the teasin', You. I know ya've been workin' hard, so I think ya deserve a reward! I'm gonna splurge on accessories fer ya!
You: I said it's fine! I don't need them, because they'll definitely make me look weird!
Societte: No, they won't. You'll look positively delightful! Come on!
Yuel: Yep, yep! It's time to go hog wild with a shopping spree! Upsy-daisy!
You: I don't wanna be carried! Put me down, Sis Yuel!
Yuel picks up the fidgeting girl and heads for the general store.
Kou: Dragged against her will...
Vyrn: Hehe. It's all good, right? They seem to be having fun.
Vyrn: Why don't we go chill at a teahouse while we wait for them to finish?
Kou: Yeah, sounds good. There should be some places nearby.
While (Captain) and the others relax at a cafe, Yuel, Societte, and You get busy checking out the store.
You: Hey, Sis Societte. What's this?
Societte: That's lipstick. It's a type of makeup used to give your lips a certain color.
You: Okay. Then how about this round thing with powdery-looking stuff in it?
Yuel: That's called blush. It's to bring out the color in yer cheeks for a brighter look.
You: Huh... There's all kinds of stuff I don't know about.
Shop Employee: Ah, in that case would you like to try some on, miss? I'll help you properly apply it.
You: Er... No, I—
Yuel: Go for it! Give her the works!
You: What! Don't go making decisions for me!
Shop Employee: You got it! Some perfume and nail polish wouldn't hurt either.
You: H-hey...
Yuel, Societte, and the store employee buzz around You in a flurry of activity as they test out different products on the girl's hair and face.
Despite You's earlier protests, she thoroughly enjoys being doted on for the first time in her life.
Yuel and Societte pay for the makeup and You's new charming hair ribbons.
The two Erunes quickly deck out You with their latest purchases and hand her a mirror.
You: Is that... me?
Yuel: Nice! Ya oughta win a cuteness award.
You's eyes light up upon seeing a reflection of herself that she's never seen before.
Without warning, she bolts out of the store.
Societte: Eep! Where are you going, You!
Yuel: Hahaha... Maybe to show certain friends her new look?
Societte: Oh... Heehee, I see. She's just the sweetest.
You's Aspiration: Scene 2
Desperate to show off her new look to (Captain), Kou, and the others, You accidently bumps into some ruffians who are eager to start trouble. You prepares to fight back but realizes something and quickly begins to back away. Luckily Kou and (Captain) arrive to save the day.
You: Huff... Huff...
You runs frantically through the streets in search of Kou and the others.
She doesn't know why, but when she saw her new look in the mirror, she felt this urge to show it to Kou and company.
You: (Where did you guys go, Bro Kou? (Captain)?)
You: Oof!
In her haste to find her friends, she doesn't pay attention to where she's going and carelessly bumps into a passerby.
You: Oops!
Ruffian 1: Oops? Smack into somebody and all you can say is "oops"?
You: Um, I'm very sorry for bumping into you. I wasn't looking where I was going.
Ruffian 2: Ow... Man, I think my shoulder's broken. I need some compensation money for this.
You: Wh-what! I barely hit you though! There's no way it's broken!
Ruffian 2: If I say it's broken, then it's freakin' broken! Now gimme a million rupies!
You: (This is so stupid. Bet he thinks I'm just some dumb kid! Well, I've got things to do, idiot!)
Ruffian 1: Oh, what's this? Givin' us the stink eye? If you ain't gonna pay up, then I got another option for you.
You: Krrrk... Tch! Bring it!
Yuel: Ahaha. But that teeth grinding isn't becoming of a lady.
You: Gasp!
You quickly stops grinding her teeth. She then realizes another problem.
You: (Crap... I don't think I can fight like this.)
She breaks into a cold sweat and tries to back away from the ruffians.
But they quickly grab her by the arm.
You: Ouch!
Ruffian 1: Where do you think you're going?
Ruffian 2: Bwahaha! If you can't pay up, then you're going to work off your debt! Move it!
You: Let me go, damn it! Stop!
The ruffians are about to drag You away.
Ruffian 1: Augh!
One of the ruffians suddenly feels a sharp pain in his back, and he releases his grip on You.
Kou: Stop right there! Keep your dirty hands off her! Or else next time I won't use the back of my sword!
Lyria: Are you all right, You?
Vyrn: We heard a commotion and thought we'd better check it out. And it's a good thing we did!
You: Bro Kou... (Captain)...
Ruffian 1: Damn, that smarts! If it's a fight you want, then you got one! I'm gonna wreck the lot of you!
Kou: You two aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, are you! You're going to get what's coming to you!
You's Aspiration: Scene 3
The crew learns the reason why You didn't fight back against the ruffians was because she didn't want to ruin her ribbons and makeup before she had the chance to show (Captain) and Kou. The crew praises You for her cuteness, causing her to flush and run away from the scene. Nevertheless You's interest in fashion is born.
Ruffian 1: Yaaagh!
Ruffian 2: We're soorrryyy!
The ruffians flee in a terrified panic after feeling the wrath of Kou and (Captain).
Yuel and Societte almost smash into the ruffians as the two parties bolt past each other.
Yuel: We heard a huge racket and came a-runnin'. Is everything all right, You?
You: Yeah. Just a minor inconvenience.
Societte: This is all our fault. If only we'd gone after you...
You: You don't have to apologize. It was my fault for running off like that.
Kou: Did they hurt you?
You: No. I'm alive and kicking thanks to you guys.
Vyrn: Why didn't you fight back though? You could've worn a blindfold and still crushed those punks.
You: Um, yeah, but if I did that, then...
You: Well...
Kou: Hey, you're all dressed up.
You: ...
Kou: The ribbons in your hair look nice, and so does that makeup.
Kou: Did Yuel and Societte pick all that out for you?
