Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	(Captain), this is the day you came into the world. One of the many joyous occasions in the sky realm, you could say. Even I can understand the importance placed upon this event. Congratulations. Would you like to go somewhere fun to celebrate? You can choose the place and I will follow along. Happy birthday, (Captain).
2	✔	Today is sure to be a great day! Thanks to you, I've learned so much of the world. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to you, (Captain). It would be my honor to learn even more from you. I made this pie for you. Let's eat together with the rest of the crew. Happy Birthday, (Captain).
3	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). In my studies of mortal culture, I've learned of something called a "sweet nothing." Prepare to be amazed, (Captain). Your birthday present is... me. I pledge to stand by your side as your ally forever and always. Even should the entire world turn against you, I will always be your friend. That's a promise, (Captain). Hehehe...
4	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). This truly is an auspicious day. I've been looking forward to this all year. There is one problem, however. Last year, I gave you the gift of myself, remember? So I was at a loss as to what my follow-up gift should be. I still have no solution in mind. Could you tell me what you would like for your birthday? You just want me to stay by your side? Haha... How strange. I asked for your requests so that I could please you. But I feel like that request was on my behalf.
5	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). No matter how many times it comes around, this day will always be a special one. I hope I was able to carry out my last birthday present to you by staying by your side this past year. I have? Good. I'm relieved to hear that from you. But I guess I'll have to think of something different to give again for this year. Haha. I'll always be with you, now and forever. Now, what should I give you this time? I suppose it's hard to choose something right away. Take all the time you need to think about it. I'll be waiting. Besides, I rather enjoy the time spent waiting for you.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year. So skydwellers celebrate the beginning of a new year. Interesting. Much like these mochi. They're curiously chewy, and extremely... delicious. The red-bean soup is also kind of sweet. This New Year's tradition really is... excellent.
2	✔	(Captain), I challenge you. Stay calm. I don't mean to a duel, but to battledore. The winner is allowed to draw all over the loser's body. Hehe. I know a lot, right? I did my homework. Let's get this party started. I'm going to draw faces all over your body. By the way... How exactly do we know who wins in battledore?
3	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). As an envoy of the Divine Generals, I've decided to perform my priestess duties. For those who cannot make the trek to a shrine, I will travel to them and wish them well. A good idea, correct? Before that, I will bless you. I made up my mind that you would be my first. Hehehe... Come to my side and receive my blessing.
4	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). That's right, I'm wearing this outfit to do my duty as a traveling priestess. Last year it was a great success, so I'm going to visit every island again this year to spread that same joy. You're first on my list, of course, (Captain). What? You want to come with me? Haha... I wouldn't mind at all. That will give me more chances to grant you blessings... No, wait. That would throw off the blessing balance. But I'd like to bring you with me to see everyone's smiling faces... I'm so torn...
5	✔	Sorry to wake you, (Captain). I believe this is the only way for you and I to make sure everyone is happy without throwing off the blessing balance. Simply put, you need to be the one to give out the blessings. I will keep you company and make up for what you give out so the balance can be preserved. Come on, (Captain). Let's go deliver our blessings to the crew. Since we have so many members, we should hurry and get started. Hm? You want to give your blessings to me first? Haha, thank you. Then I gratefully accept. Oh, and... Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to spending another year with you.

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy, uh... hmm. What day is it again? Yesterday Lyria told me to make some chocolates, so I did, but... What was the purpose of that? Valentine's Day, is it? The day you give chocolates to someone special? I guess Lyria was right, then...
2	✔	This is love. Hehe. I know all about today. We're supposed to give chocolate to people we care about, right? I went around spreading my love all over the ship. I gave some love to Lyria, and to Vyrn, and all the crew members. But something's wrong, (Captain). When I try to share my love with you, I get all hot and bothered. Hehe. So strange. The weirdest things happen to me when I'm around you. Take this, (Captain). This embodies my love for you.
3	✔	Hehehe... Happy Valentine's Day. I gave Lyria, Vyrn, and many others chocolate filled with my feelings of friendship. Everyone was so happy. When I think about their faces, it makes even me smile. Now here's your present—my love. Because what I feel for you transcends camaraderie. Hehehe... I'm sure you'll find them delicious. Try one.
4	✔	I know this is sudden, (Captain), but do you think it's all right to hand over a valentine without any fanfare? I've heard that people put a great deal of effort into their delivery of "love" chocolates to their special someones. I've been trying to think of a special enough way to give you your chocolates, but I haven't come up with anything. In the end, I decided to hand deliver them as usual. I did have a lot of fun imagining different ways to give them to you though. So next year, I think I will try to do it in a more original way. I want it to truly express how I feel about you.
5	✔	(Captain), I have to apologize to you. I was unable to think of a proper method to deliver "love" chocolates. I asked the others what I should do, but they merely suggested I give them away as normal. They said there would be no other way to better share my emotions. So here I am, having accepted that. Here you go. The same chocolates, given to you in the same method as every other year. If you'll have them, that is. Ah... Thank you. I was worried that my feelings wouldn't be properly communicated, but seeing your face now, I know they were. Besides, this might be my favorite way to give you chocolates. I love the moment when our fingertips touch, leaving us both with curious grins.
Gift		White Chocolate Cake

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Hey, uh, what is everyone getting so excited about? And what's that thing you have, (Captain)? Is it some kind of special day today? A day to show you care. Interesting. So that must be some sort of product that aids you in accomplishing this goal. Mind if I try some? Nom... This must mean your feelings for me are... sweet. Hehe. In that case I should find a sweet way to return the favor. Hmm... I think I'm finally starting to get a hang of this holiday thing. Happy White Day, (Captain).
2	✔	Oh, (Captain). You're giving me chocolate again? This shows your appreciation, right? Your thoughtfulness means the world to me. These chocolates are so sweet. My heart is fluttering. I hear that eating with someone you care about makes the food taste even better. What do you think? Would you like a piece of this sweet treat? Hehehe... I'm sure this tastes the sweetest with you around. Come on, (Captain). This way.
3	✔	Happy White Day, (Captain). I get candy this year too? I'm so grateful, (Captain). This day is always one full of happiness. From the sweet taste of candy and from your thoughtfulness. What if I were to... repay you for all the happiness you give me? Would you like to spend the day with me? I'll make this a happy day for you too.
4	✔	Hello, (Captain). Is that a White Day gift for me? Thank you for being so considerate every year. Bringing the chocolate you've made for me to my lips might be the sweetest moment of my whole year. Will you share them with me again? Haha... You knew that's what I wanted, didn't you? Oh... Can I make one request? I'd like you to feed them to me. You know... One person says, "say ahh," and then feeds the other some chocolate. Eating something you've made already makes me so happy. If you feed it to me... I want to see what new heights of happiness I can reach. So... Please?
5	✔	A thank-you present for Valentine's? Wow, is it already that time? Thank you, (Captain). Time certainly races before our eyes. It seems like Valentine's Day was yesterday. No matter the time I spend with you, it's always fresh and memorable. But I don't mean just Valentine's Day. All of our shared moments seem like they were yesterday. I shall savor this gift while savoring our memories. Ahem, but (Captain). Might I make a familiar request? I'll "say ahhh" and... And, well, last year when you fed me my gift—that moment is still clear in my mind.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Forgive me. As usual, I am unfamiliar with the occasion today. Oh, I see... So children frighten adults for a piece of candy. And they do so by saying happy Halloween, followed by trick or treat.
2	✔	(Captain)... What should I do? I was trying to pass out candy to the children, so I rode into town on my Peacemaker's Wings... Then something strange happened. Everyone started giving me candy... I ended up having so much candy... I couldn't even hold it all with both hands... I don't want to be someone who just takes... I want the chance to share my candy with everyone. If I don't, then this Halloween will end so unfairly! As a mediator I can't let this stand! (Captain), will you help me? Please?
3	✔	Happy Halloween, (Captain). Instead of using my Peacemaker's Wings this year, I thought I would try some more child-appropriate tricks. Now that the time has come though, I'm having trouble thinking of any. Well, skydwellers do say that experience is the best teacher. Yes. Perhaps I should heed that wisdom. Come then, (Captain). Prank me without restraint. It's the only way I'll learn!
4	✔	Trick or treat, (Captain). Thanks to the prank you played on me last year, I now feel confident in my own prankster abilities. Oh dear, what's this? Could it be that you have no candy for me, (Captain)? Well then, prepare to be pranked. Go, Dyrn and Lyrn! Sic (Captain)! Haha, quite the fiendish ticklers, aren't they? I'm sure they could startle anyone with a lightning assault like that. With their terrible talons at my command, I believe I can truly indulge in the spirit of the season. Would you like to come along, (Captain)? It would be more fun with you by my side.
5	✔	I was just thinking, (Captain)... All this time, I've only been the one to play tricks. I still have yet to get tricked myself. However, I have no candy with me right now, unfortunately. I might just have to accept some pranks this year. Just what kind of tricks will be played on me? You're saying it's only a trick if I don't know about it beforehand? I see, so that's how it goes. I suppose you're right. Hm? You want me to go with you to town? But you don't have any candy either. At this rate, both of us will get pranked... Or could this be a trick in itself? Haha, I see how it is. This could be fun.

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy holidays, Captain. What kind of holiday is today, exactly? Everyone looks so happy. It seems it's the type of day you spend with someone special. Think I understand now. In that case I want to spend the day with you. Because I know that you're special to me. Huh? What is this? There's this... strange feeling in my chest. My heart is pounding and I'm getting hot flashes. Am I... sick? No, I don't get sick. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away soon. Come along, let's go have a happy holiday, (Captain).
2	✔	This is a day we spend with people we care about. Hehe. You taught me that last year. Like last year, I plan to spend my time with you. That won't be a problem, right? Okay, good. That makes me happy. Very happy... Hmm? It's happening again... This feeling in my bosom... Just like last year... My body... is getting hotter. But it's so cold outside... Very well... This is strange, but not unwelcoming. I might even say this feels good. Hehehe. What shall we do today, (Captain)?
3	✔	Happy holidays, (Captain). Living in the sky realm for so long has taught me a great many things. For example, I know what it means to have your heart race or face to flush... (Captain). You are irreplaceable. That's what I think of you. To spend this time with you... makes me a very happy soul. For the happiness you give me, thank you, (Captain).
4	✔	Happy holidays, (Captain). I'm glad I'm here to celebrate this day with you again. Oh, that's right. Are you cold, (Captain)? It seemed to me that people in town were sticking a lot closer together than usual. I wonder if they were all trying to keep their loved ones warm. Oh, that is what they were doing? Well then, shall I nestle in by your side to keep my most important person warm? Haha, no need to be shy. You can hold me closer. Your presence warms me from the inside out. So I think I'll be able to keep you cozy. Come on, let's give it a try.
5	✔	(Captain), happy holidays. After seeing the streets so alive, I've been looking forward to saying this to you. This feeling is something I never thought I'd experience. And now, when I'm by myself, I feel as if it's a little... chilly. What about you, (Captain)? Are you feeling cold? Haha, I see. I guess mortals are more susceptible to the cold. Then we should move closer together, just like last year. Actually, I learned a new way of getting even closer to someone from watching people in town. Can I try it out? You join hands like this. How's that? The people seemed very happy and warm doing this. Your face says it all... Yes, I feel very warm too.

A Candid Wish

As the holy night draws closer, Zooey overhears a mother and child discussing Santa Claus. Sensing Zooey's interest in Santa, Yuni offers to help her better understand what being Santa is like. Now decked out in festive outfits, Cosmos compliments them on their appearance, but, seeing Zooey's discomfort, declines to join them in going out into town.

---

Winter is in full swing, and as the holidays draw near, a certain town bustles with activity, its residents preparing for the big day.

Little Girl: Is the big holiday today, mommy?

Bustling Mother: Not quite yet, my lovely.

Little Girl: So he's coming tomorrow?

Bustling Mother: He's all busy until the holy night, when he gives everyone their presents!

Zooey: ...

Zooey looks on fondly as the mother and daughter wend their way through the street.

Little Girl: Are you sure Mr. Santa got my wish list?

Bustling Mother: Don't you worry! I made double sure that it got to him!

Zooey: Hehe...

Vyrn: And what's put a skip in your step?

Lyria: Did you find something nice out there, Zooey?

Zooey: Something nice... I suppose you could call it that.

Little Girl: I want the holy night to be here already!

Zooey: It's just that, I see all of these people excited for the holidays...

Zooey: And I just can't stop myself from feeling a bit warm and fuzzy inside.

Lyria: We know exactly what you mean! Everyone's buzzing with excitement up on the Grandcypher too!

Zooey: I can see that.

Zooey takes in the view of the city streets, a soft smile on her face.

Zooey: Funny to think that once, I was nothing more than a manifestation of Cosmos.

Cosmos—the primal beast that once commanded the balance of the Sky Realm with her powers of arbitration.

Zooey was created in her image to take her place amongst the skies, while Cosmos herself remained hidden away in the Astral Realm.

Zooey: My role used to be to maintain the equilibrium of the skies.

Zooey: But I have always felt that I was really brought into this world by the wishes of the people that reside here.

Zooey: Good people, who wish for peace—who love the skies. Their prayers were always there with me.

However, Cosmos had already forfeited her role as the arbitrator.

Zooey: I abandoned my old role as Cosmos's manifestation in this world, and with it, the ability to sense when it would face its peril.

Zooey: Yet still, I cannot fail to feel my heart swell when I see people wishing so sincerely—so earnestly.

As the words tumble forth, Zooey once again looks up at the people making their merry way along the street.

Zooey: And now that the holidays are drawing near, I feel it more keenly than ever.

Lyria: Hehe! Well, everyone is looking forward to what presents they'll be getting from Santa!

Zooey: Ah yes, Santa... He seems like an incredible figure.

Zooey: Taking a wish as precious and pure as a child's and actually granting it...

Zooey: He has the most wonderful job in the world.

???: I agree.

Zooey turns around to find the source of the sudden voice.

Zooey: Yuni!

Yuni: Do you look up to Santa Claus too?

Zooey: Look up to him? I suppose I do.

Yuni: Have you ever wanted to help him?

Zooey: Help him? No, I don't think that's ever crossed my mind...

Yuni: I've been doing some hands-on research into how he does it. Do you want to join me, Zooey?

Zooey: Research? Exactly what kind of research?

Vyrn: Oh, I get it!

Vyrn: We'd better get Miss Flippy-Hair here some stylish threads to match Yuni's, right?

Zooey: Th-threads?

Lyria: That's a wonderful idea, Vyrn! Come on, everyone, we have an outfit to get!

Lyria: Oh, you look amazing, Zooey! It suits you perfectly!

Zooey: Y-you really think so?

Yuni: I think it looks good on you.

Now back on the Grandcypher, Zooey and Yuni both find themselves adorned in matching festive outfits.

Zooey: I feel kind of... silly.

Yuni: Don't worry, Zooey. I felt like that too at first, but it helped me get into the right mindset to research Santa Claus.

Yuni: And I think wearing this will help you do the same.

Zooey: I see. I guess there's no better way to learn how someone feels than by stepping into their shoes—literally, in this case.

Lyria: You two look super cute together—like two peas in a pod!

Zooey: We do?

Zooey and Yuni look at each other and beam when they realize Lyria's words ring true.

Cosmos: What's all this?

Yuni: Cosmos!

Cosmos: Yuni. You look like you're having fun.

Cosmos: Are you dressed up as Santa Claus?

Yuni: Yes. Zooey and I both look up to him, so we wanted to see what it's like being him...

Cosmos: I see. It's a fetching look on you too, Zooey.

Zooey: Th-thank you...

The arbitrator withers slightly under her forerunner's gaze.

Zooey: Um... C-Cosmos... It-it's nice to see you!

Cosmos: Nice to see you too, Zooey.

Zooey: ...

Yuni: Are you okay, Zooey? Is something wrong?

Zooey: N-nothing! Nothing wrong here.

Yuni: You sure?

Vyrn: Uh, well... how about we hit the town and take your new threads for a test run?

Lyria: That sounds perfect! Let's get going!

Zooey: Okay... let's go.

Yuni: Will you be coming with us, Cosmos?

Cosmos: Ah, no, I...

Cosmos glances over at Zooey, who still looks somewhat perturbed.

Cosmos: I'm fine with staying here for now. You all go and enjoy yourselves.

Yuni: Okay. We'll see you when we get back then.

The crew disembark, their festive ensemble in tow, and leave Cosmos behind as they head out to experience the delights of the season.

Back to top

A Hidden Hope

Dressed up in their merry apparel, Zooey and Yuni take in the joyful sights of the town with the crew. However, Zooey senses something amiss down a side alley and stumbles upon a group of thieves planning a robbery. Upon realizing that they're being watched, the thieves swiftly flee the scene.

---

Decked in clothes both red and jolly, Zooey and Yuni are led out into the bustling city streets by (Captain) and the crew.

Zooey: ...

Lyria: What's the matter, Zooey?

Zooey: Nothing, it's just... I don't really know how to explain it...

Zooey: Even though we already walked around town, it feels completely different now that I have this outfit on...

Vyrn: Nice! I guess that means you're having fun, right?

Zooey: Yes... You're right! I feel happy inside, buoyant.

Lyria: I'm glad!

Lyria: Now that we're starting to really get into the festive spirit, why don't we go get some sweet treats?

Lyria: The holy night's only a few sleeps away! I'm sure I saw a few places with special holiday menus up...

Vyrn: Yup, that's our Lyria, always letting her stomach lead the way.

Lyria: Can you blame me, Vyrn?

Lyria: I mean, look at all of the stores! They've put the treats front and center! They want me to think about food...

Zooey: Look over there. That store looks like it's selling something different from the standard fare.

Yuni: It smells nice too.

Lyria: What are we waiting for? Let's go take a look!

Vyrn: I forgot you're all just as bad as Lyria! All you guys ever think about is food!

Lyria: Hurry up, Vyrn, or we'll miss out!

Vyrn: I'm coming, I'm coming...

Zooey: There's too many shops... I want to try them all...

Lyria: I don't even know where to begin!

Vyrn: C'mon, guys, let's just pick a place already. Even I'm gettin' hungry now...

Zooey: Hm?

Yuni: Huh? Zooey? Are you all right?

Zooey: Oh, I just thought...

As the group strolls past a narrow alley nestled between the stores, something catches Zooey's eye.

Lyria: That's just one of the service alleys, right? Ooh, did you see another little shop tucked away down there?

Zooey: Not quite... Can't you feel it? Something's off.

Uncertain, Zooey gingerly takes a step into the alleyway.

The crew and Yuni all look at each other for a moment before taking the plunge and tiptoeing after her.

The change in atmosphere from the cheer and lights of the main street is palpable. The gloom of the alley hems them in from all sides, the air thick and oppressive.

Vyrn: This doesn't seem like a place where someone'd open a shop...

Zooey: Shh! I hear something.

Shady Voice: So once these places have shuttered for the night, they'll be left totally empty.

Yuni: Someone's talking...

Zooey: And they're just around that corner.

Treading as softly as they can, the crew poke their heads around the bend and find the source of the mysterious voice.

Gruff Man: You triple-checked where they keep the dough?

Young Man: Yeah—stuffed in a lockbox in the back.

Young Man: I can crack open the lock on the back door no problem. Just gotta wait till they close...

Gruff Man: Wait! Who's that! There's someone there!

Lyria: Eep!

Yuni: They've spotted us!

Gruff Man: Leg it!

Young Man: On it!

Zooey: Stop right there!

A Hidden Hope: Scene 2

In an attempt to track down the would-be burglars without sending the entire town into chaos, (Captain) enlists the help of every crew member available to covertly keep watch for any trouble. Zooey begins to doubt herself and her plan, but after a pep talk from Yuni the pair set off, determined to catch their suspects.

---

Lyria: Huff... huff...

Vyrn: Aw, darn it! Where'd they go?

(Captain) and the crew set off in hot pursuit of the would-be burglars, but the labyrinthine twists and turns of the dark backstreets soon make them lose their way.

Yuni: They clearly know their way around.

Zooey: Better than tourists like us, that's for sure.

Lyria: Oh, but we've got to stop them!

Vyrn: Yeah! Those guys were definitely up to no good!

Zooey: Sounded like they were planning a robbery...

Lyria: How could anyone do something so horrible right before the holidays? Everyone's in good spirits...

Zooey: I remember now.

Zooey: The world is made of light and dark in equal measure, but the fine balance between the two is always in a chaotic state of flux...

Zooey's expression grows dark as she whispers.

Vyrn: What do we do now then? We can't just leave those guys to rob the town blind!

Yuni: There must be guards somewhere nearby. Maybe we can ask them for help?

Vyrn: That sounds like a good bet. We can give them descriptions of the perps, and they can do a sweep for 'em!

Zooey: Hold on a second.

Lyria: What is it, Zooey?

Zooey: I don't want this to get any bigger than it needs to be.

Vyrn: What do you mean?

Zooey: If we tell the guards, then the shops and the townspeople will also find out that something's amiss.

Zooey: If that happens, say goodbye to all that festive cheer.

Zooey: I couldn't do that to everyone when they're so full of hope and joy...

Yuni: You'd rather take care of it quietly so no one's holiday is ruined?

Zooey: Yes. Although, I know that's a selfish wish, and it will definitely make things harder for us.

Zooey: For the town's safety, the best thing to do would be to let people know what's going on, and make sure the town watch stays alert...

Zooey: But... I just don't want to rob people of their joy, especially at this time of year.

Moved by Zooey's conviction, (Captain) can't help but smile and nod in agreement.

Lyria: If we're going to do this ourselves, we'd best start thinking of how.

Lyria: We just have to put our heads together! I'm sure we can come up with something that works!

Vyrn: Okay! Io and Rosetta are making their way to the east side of town!

Lyria: I'll meet up with Katalina and keep tabs on the main street!

Having enlisted the help of their fellow skyfarers, the captain and the crew decide to covertly patrol the town.

Yuni: Eugen said he'll take the north, and Rackam said he'll be in the south.

Zooey: Truly. Thank you, everyone, for listening to my selfish wish.

Vyrn: Don't sweat it! We'll make sure this whole thing blows over with the townsfolk being left none the wiser!

With their plan in place, Zooey and Yuni head off to the backstreets once more to track down the burglars.

Yuni: This was around where we last saw them...

Zooey: Right...

Yuni: Zooey?

Zooey: Hm?

Yuni: Are you okay? You seem distracted.

Zooey: Sorry, I'm just... conflicted—about whether we should really be handling this ourselves.

Yuni: Well... we won't know until it's all over.

Yuni: But I do agree with your approach.

Yuni: Besides, we're still dressed up like Santa Claus, and I'm pretty sure this is part of what he does.

Zooey: Is it really? How so?

Yuni: Well, when all the children are fast asleep, he quietly pays them a visit and leaves them presents.

Yuni: That's kind of like what we're doing, protecting the town in secret, making sure that no one finds out.

Zooey: Hehe, well, when you put it like that...

Zooey: I guess we're just Santas-in-training then, quietly guarding the townsfolk so they can enjoy the holidays in peace.

Donned in their red apparel, they share a silent smile before carrying on with a renewed sense of purpose.

Vyrn: Hey, you two! We've got intel!

Vyrn: Eugen's spotted a couple of shady dudes hanging out by a deserted house just outside town!

Yuni: Ready, Zooey?

Zooey: Ready—let's go catch our burglars.

A Hidden Hope: Scene 3

Having caught the thieves at last, Zooey is shocked to learn one of them despises this time of year. Wishing the world was a little bit kinder, the former arbitrator decides to approach Cosmos to dispel the awkward tension between them. Yuni and Cosmos are overjoyed at the change of heart, and the three of them head out to enjoy the festive cheer together.

Gruff Man: Who the hell are you!

Zooey: No sudden moves! The jig is up!

With the location of their targets known, Zooey and Yuni have little trouble catching their marks.

Gruff Man: Damn it, let me go!

Vyrn: Put a sock in it! We heard you two planning to rob a store loud and clear!

Reedy Man: Shut up! Who gave you the right to go around arresting people!

Yuni: Well, we weren't just going to let you run around and do bad things.

Young Man: ...

Zooey: And what about you? Do you have anything else to say?

Young Man: Not to you, no.

Lyria: Why would you decide to steal now, when everyone in town is busy enjoying the holidays?

Young Man: Holiday this, holiday that... Screw their stupid holiday!

Zooey picks up the would-be thief's mumbling and looks him dead in the eyes.

Zooey: Do you have a grudge against the festivities?

Young Man: Hmph... Why do you care?

Zooey: Hm... I suppose I shouldn't. But now you've made me curious.

Zooey: Even you must realize that what you were planning to do was awful.

Zooey: But just as every pure wish has its reasons, so does every foul impulse.

Zooey: I want to know what yours were.

Young Man: ...
Hate to break it to you, but there weren't any—I just wanted the cash.

Young Man: There ain't many other options out there left for a guy like me.

Zooey: You're still young. Don't you have a home? A family?

Young Man: Not anymore. Not for ten long years. Lost them all in an accident... on that so-called "holy" night.

Zooey: I see...

Young Man: All those uncaring, happy idiots out there, nothing but smiles and presents—they can rot for all I care.

Zooey: Just because you've suffered doesn't mean you have the right to inflict the same suffering on others.

Young Man: Hah! Must be nice to preach your piece from on high to us mere mortals below.

Zooey: I suppose it is...

With that, the young man refuses to speak another word.

The captain and the crew manage to hand the robbers over to the town guards without any further hassle.

Vyrn: Phew! Done and done!

Yuni: Operation Santa Claus went off without a hitch.

Zooey: ...

Lyria: Are you all right, Zooey?

Zooey: I can't stop thinking about what that young man said.

Yuni: The one from before?

Young Man: Hah! Must be nice to preach your piece from on high to us mere mortals below.

Zooey: It's true, I did examine the world "from on high" when I was a manifestation of Cosmos.

Zooey: I beheld the hope and suffering of everyone in the skies...

Zooey: That is how I came to understand that for every moment of joy and aspiration, resentment and ill will would be waiting in the wings.

Zooey: Light and darkness, good and evil—they are two sides of the same coin.

Yuni: Yes. I learned the same thing when I was at Cosmos's side.

Zooey: If I were still the same person I had been back then, I wouldn't have dared to interfere in an incident like this one.

Zooey: A few petty thieves in a small town is not exactly something that would upset the balance of the world.

Yuni: So, what's different now?

Zooey: Now? Ah, well, now...

Zooey: I believe the world is more beautiful when the people that inhabit it are happy—no matter how trifling the reason for their joy may seem.

Zooey: I know that sounds trite, but it's what I believe.

Zooey looks up at the sky, a smile creeping its way onto her face.

Zooey: It seems I'm more selfish than I thought I was.

Yuni: I'm glad to see you finally smile, Zooey.

Yuni: Seeing you happy makes me happy too.

Yuni: The holidays are special. They're a time where wishes come true. That's where Santa Claus comes in—he turns your dreams into reality.

Yuni: So, what do you wish for, Zooey?

Zooey: Me?

Yuni: We all deserve to make a wish during the holidays. For you, can I be the one that grants it?

Zooey: What I would want...

Cosmos: Did you two have fun in the town?

With the town safe and sound, Zooey and Yuni have made their way back to the Grandcypher, where Cosmos awaits.

Yuni: We caught some thieves.

Cosmos: Well, that sounds like quite the tale.

Zooey: ...

Cosmos: Zooey?

Zooey: Um... C-Cosmos.

Zooey: Ever since... since I stepped down as your manifestation, my idea of this world and its people has been constantly changing.

Zooey: My idea of myself has changed too.

Cosmos: Go on.

Zooey: I-I want to share my thoughts with you...

Zooey: What I'm trying to say is, um...

Zooey: I want to talk with you. And I mean more than just like this. A proper talk.

Cosmos: In truth, I've also been thinking much the same thing. I'd be more than happy to oblige, Zooey.

Yuni: Hehe!

Yuni steps between the two and grabs their hands, bridging the divide and deftly breaking the awkward tension.

Yuni: Good. I had wished for you two to become closer—and I think it's come true.

Cosmos: You wished for this?

Yuni: It's what people do this time of year.

As if to emphasize her point, Yuni pulls the arbitrators even closer, practically radiating joy.

Yuni: If you two are going to talk, how about you do it over some good food? What do you say, Cosmos?

Zooey: That's a great idea. Those burglars completely ruined our plans before.

Cosmos: Very well, I'll come with you this time—but in exchange, you two will have to tell me your personal recommendations.

Zooey: Yes. Good food and ample time to talk.

Cosmos: Of course—about anything and everything.

As Zooey, Yuni, and Cosmos head out into the festivities, there is a marked change between them. Gone are the awkward glances—in their place, smiles of genuine joy.
