One day, not too long ago...{n}
{+MADELINE} went out for a walk on a rainy night,{n}
and somehow kept walking until dawn the next morning.{n}
(~Along the way, she also collected 33 red strawberries and 2 green ones.~){n}
However, just as she tried to grab that red Crystal Heart,{n}
she lost her footing and fell...


endercellbd_00=
[bluelight right normal]
Be careful!

[MADELINE left normal]
I'll be fine! Don't worry about me!

endercellbd_01=
[MADELINE left normal]
Wow!{0.2} Is somebody having a picnic?{0.4}
And there is a cat, too!

[MADELINE left sad]
...But where's its owner?

[bluelight right normal]
Right here.

[MADELINE left surprised]
Whoa!{0.2} The weird glowing orb can talk!{0.2}...

[MADELINE left sad]
...Have we met somewhere before?

[bluelight right normal]
Maybe?{0.2} Perhaps on that rainy night a few days ago?

[MADELINE left peaceful]
Yeah!{0.2} I picked a lot of strawberries that day.

[MADELINE left normal]
Why are you having a picnic all by yourself, Mr. Orb?

[bluelight right normal]
Hmm...{0.2} Good question.
How about this?
Could you help me call my friends over?{0.2} They live nearby, so I'm guessing you'll find them soon.

[MADELINE left normal]
Can I join the picnic too?

[bluelight right normal]
Of course!

[MADELINE left normal]
Yay!

endercellbd_02=
[MADELINE right normal]
Excuse me?{0.2} Is anybody home?

[noman left normal]
No answer.

endercellbd_03=
[MADELINE right sad]
If nobody opens the door, I'm leaving.

[noman left normal]
Still no answer.

endercellbd_04=
[noman right normal]
You press your ear against the door.{0.2}{n}
All you hear is the wind.

[MADELINE right sad]
I'll come back another time, then.{0.2}
Bye-bye.

endercellbd_05=
[bluelight right normal]
If you happen to find any strawberries,{n}
could you bring some back for us?

[MADELINE left normal]
Leave it to me.

[bluelight right normal]
I'd really appreciate that.

endercellbd_06=
[MADELINE left normal]
Excuse me...

[redlight right normal]
Wah! What's that?!

[yellowlight right normal]
Serves you right for not locking the door.

[MADELINE left distracted]
Sorry...am I not supposed to be here?

[yellowlight right normal]
Don't worry, little one.{n}
We could really use an extra pair of hands.

[MADELINE left distracted]
May I ask what you're making?

[redlight right normal]
Cake.

[yellowlight right normal]
A birthday cake for that blue guy.

[MADELINE left sad]
Wait, it's his birthday today?

[yellowlight right normal]
Yep. So, what do you think?

[MADELINE left together]
Then I want to help too!

[yellowlight right normal]
Awesome! One more helper!

endercellbd_07=
[noman right normal]
...

[MADELINE left normal]
{+GRANNY} taught me how to make strawberry cake before. Trust me, it's going to be delicious!

endercellbd_08=
[noman right normal]
...

[yellowlight right normal]
The flour's over there!

endercellbd_09=
[noman right normal]
...

[MADELINE left upset]
Don't you have an oven?

[redlight right normal]
Give me the batter.

[MADELINE left surprised]
Is that some kind of magic?!

endercellbd_10=
[noman right normal]
...

[yellowlight right normal]
Guess it's time for the frosting?

[MADELINE left together]
That's my specialty!

endercellbd_11=
[noman right normal]
...
[MADELINE left togetherZoom]
Ta-da! It's done!

[yellowlight right normal]
Smells amazing!

[redlight right normal]
But it's already dark outside.

[yellowlight right normal]
Yeah...Looks like we're a little late.

[redlight right normal]
Weren't we supposed to meet up at noon?

[yellowlight right normal]
Well, it's not like we...can just bring this little one straight there.

[redlight right normal]
Fair enough.

[MADELINE left sadder]
Wait...Does that mean I missed the picnic?

[yellowlight right normal]
Probably...yeah.
But don't worry. There's an elevator to the right of our secret base
that goes straight to the hub.
If you hurry, you should make it there right around midnight, when the moon is highest in the sky!

[MADELINE left normal]
So at least I have a chance!

[MADELINE left together]
For the picnic!

[yellowlight right normal]
Good luck, little one. We'll be waiting there.

[redlight right normal]
Best of luck.

[MADELINE left normal]
See you there!

endercellbd_12=
[MADELINE left sad]
Looks like it's just me now.

[MADELINE left together]
Let's keep moving.

endercellbd_13=
[MADELINE left distracted]
Huh...? {0.3}Didn't you say you'd already gone over there to wait for me?

[yellowlight right normal]
I got worried about you, so I came back to check if this route actually works.

[MADELINE left upset]
So can I get through here or not?

[yellowlight right normal]
Actually, we're right underneath them now...{0.5} The problem is figuring out how to get up there.

[MADELINE left sadder]
Don't tell me I'm stuck down here forever.

[yellowlight right normal]
No, no, no.{n}
There's definitely a way up.

[MADELINE left deadpan]
Then what exactly is the problem?

[yellowlight right normal]
Well...This place used to be a waterway.

[MADELINE left surprised]
You're not suggesting the current launches me up there?!

[yellowlight right normal]
Yes...{0.3} And no?
You've seen how bad things are down here.{0.3}
If we force the water system back online, all I need to do is press this button.
But...{0.2} I have no idea whether you'll survive the flood.

[MADELINE left upset]
You guys are just so unreliable...

[yellowlight right normal]
Think of it this way.{0.3}
You just have to run faster than the flood.{0.3} You can do that, right...?

[MADELINE left determined]
No.

[MADELINE left together]
But I can try.

[yellowlight right normal]
That's the spirit.{0.3} Then I'll hit the button now—

[MADELINE left surprised]
Wait! You're pressing it already?!

[yellowlight right normal]
Yep~

[MADELINE left determined]
Predictably unreliable.

[yellowlight right normal]
Hhh?

[MADELINE left sad]
I'd better get moving, or the flood's going to catch up.

[yellowlight right normal]
Run as fast as you can~

[MADELINE left upset]
Well, obviously!

endercellbd_14=
[yellowlight right normal]
Still here?{0.3} Aren't you worried about getting swallowed by the flood?

[MADELINE left distracted]
What if I run into somewhere I can't climb up...?

[yellowlight right normal]
Eh, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it~

[MADELINE left upset]
Obviously again...

[yellowlight right normal]
Alright, alright.
I think there should be some bubbles around that can lift you up.{0.3} Though...they might end up getting in your way, too.

[MADELINE left determined]
That sounds ridiculous, but I really hope you're telling the truth.

endercellbd_15=
[yellowlight right normal]
Why aren't you going?

[MADELINE left sad]
I was just worrying about what you're going to do.

[yellowlight right normal]
Oh, that's easy.{0.3} When the flood comes, I'll just shut the door.

[MADELINE left upset]
That's it?!

[yellowlight right normal]
Yep~

[MADELINE left upset]
...Allright.

endercellbd_16=
[MADELINE left determined]
I've come this far.
The flood probably isn't catching up anymore.

[MADELINE left sad]
Still...This place feels strangely familiar...

[MADELINE left sad]
...

[MADELINE left upset]
...

[MADELINE left upset]
Yep. {0.3}This is exactly where I fell down before.

[MADELINE left upset]
That patch of green grass used to be covered in strawberries. Judging by the current situation, I probably ate every last one of them...

[MADELINE left upset]
Come to think of it, I have no idea how many days I've been stuck in this cave.

[MADELINE left normal]
Though after eating strawberries for so long, even the injuries from my fall don't hurt anymore.

[MADELINE left surprised]
...Wait. Were those magic strawberries?!

[MADELINE left sadder]
Feels like I missed something really important...

[MADELINE left sad]
No, wait...{0.3}
Wasn't I supposed to be going to a picnic?

[MADELINE left surprised]
Oh no! If I waste any more time, I'm going to miss the picnic!{0.3} I need to hurry!

endercellbd_17=
[bluelight right normal]
You're back?

[redlight right normal]
How was the trip?

[yellowlight right normal]
See? I knew you could outrun the flood.

[bluelight right normal]
Hold on. What exactly do you mean by that...?

[redlight right normal]
He turned the water system back on.

[bluelight right normal]
...

[yellowlight right normal]
...Can we talk this out?

[bluelight right normal]
Forget it. I'm letting it slide today.

[yellowlight right normal]
Yay!

[bluelight right normal]
I'll deal with you tomorrow...

[redlight right normal]
This is going to be fun to watch.

[yellowlight right normal]
Can't you forgive me already...?

[MADELINE left upset]
Excuse me. I'm still standing right here. So what happened?

[bluelight right normal]
Oh, that...?

[bluelight right normal]
There's actually an elevator in the back room.{0.2} We installed it recently.

[MADELINE left upset]
Oh. WONDERFUL.

[bluelight right normal]
This guy never listens when I talk, so he probably forgot about it.
Sorry about that.

[MADELINE left determined]
Can I choose his punishment?

[bluelight right normal]
Be my guest.

[MADELINE left together]
YOU JUST WAIT!

[yellowlight right normal]
Wah!

[MADELINE left normal]
Anyway, let's eat cake first.

[bluelight right normal]
Before that, there's something I should mention.

[bluelight right normal]
While you were away, I fished a Crystal Heart out of the river. Thought you might want it.

[MADELINE left sad]
Huh? A Crystal Heart?
How long has it been hanging there? I didn't even notice it.

[bluelight right normal]
Well, if you want it, it's yours.

[MADELINE left normal]
Really? I actually lost a red Crystal Heart not long ago.

[bluelight right normal]
Wait...Don't tell me it was floating in midair?

[MADELINE left upset]
Don't tell me this is another—

[redlight right normal]
Cake.

[MADELINE left normal]
Then let's eat the cake first!

[MADELINE left sad]
...Or maybe get the Crystal Heart first?

[bluelight right normal]
I think the Crystal Heart can wait until after dessert.

[MADELINE left sad]
Okay~

endercellbd_18=
[yellowlight right normal]
I said I was sorry...

[MADELINE left upset]
Not good enough.
You owe me emotional damages.

[yellowlight right normal]
Waaaah...

endercellbd_19=
[bluelight right normal]
I'm truly sorry for everything that happened.

[MADELINE left normal]
It's okay...Oh, right—happy birthday!

[bluelight right normal]
Thank you! And thank you for the cake you made!

endercellbd_20=
[redlight right normal]
Could you teach me how to cook?

[MADELINE left normal]
Of course!

[redlight right normal]
I know a place that grows excellent strawberries...

[MADELINE left sad]
...？

endercellbd_21=
[MADELINE left sad]
The path I used to reach them during the day collapsed...
...
I feel like reciting a poem...{0.3}{n}
But maybe not.

endercellbd_22=
You press your ear against the door.{n}
Still nothing but the wind...

endercellbd_23=
[greenlight left normal]
So, you've come.
The moon is beautiful tonight,{0.3} isn't it?{0.3} Looks like you still remember those colors.
Hmm...{0.3}
I suppose this is the final chapter of "A Rainy Night" and "Intranquil Cave."{0.3} I hope you found something worthwhile in those stories.
Oh,{0.3} and one more thing.{0.3}
I have no idea who you are,{0.3} but I still want to say this...{0.4}
"Happy Birthday."
...

[]
...
The green orb falls silent.

endercellbd_24=
[greenlight left normal]
...?

You're here this early?

Well, no harm in trying, or can you actually see the future?

Nothing much to say, then. Let's go through the credits.

endercellbd_25=
[MADELINE right normal]
I'm back!

[MADELINE right sad]
...?

[MADELINE right surprised]
What's going on here?!

[bluelight left normal]
Give me a second...

[yellowlight left normal]
Are you okay?

[bluelight left normal]
...

[redlight left normal]
There was a landslide just now...

[MADELINE right surprised]
He got hurt?!

[redlight left normal]
Just a few scratches. It's nothing serious...

[yellowlight left normal]
Then why did you risk getting buried under a pile of rocks just to save that cake?!

[bluelight left normal]
I...I made a promise to that kid over there.

[MADELINE right sadder]
M-Me...? 
I'm...really sorry...{n}
...for making you take such a big risk.

[bluelight left normal]
It's okay. I'm still alive, aren't I?

[MADELINE right panic]
But I'm still sorry!

[yellowlight left normal]
Seriously...Way to ruin the mood.

[redlight left normal]
Come on, don't say that.{0.2} The man of the hour is still here.

[yellowlight left normal]
As unlucky as ever.

[bluelight left normal]
...

[redlight left normal]
...

[yellowlight left normal]
...

[MADELINE right sadder]
...

[]
Everyone stayed silent for a long while...{0.2}
The atmosphere was as terrifyingly quiet as the night itself.

[MADELINE right distracted]
...Ah, is that a Crystal Heart?

[redlight left normal]
Y-Yeah...When did that thing end up here again?

[yellowlight left normal]
It looks strangely familiar...{0.2} Wait, isn't that the one I left floating in midair...

[MADELINE right determined]
Wait, isn't that the one I got before I fell, the one that was floating in midair?

[bluelight left normal]
I fished it out of the water.

[MADELINE right determined]
It must've fallen into the water and gotten swept away back then.{0.2} But why did it lose its color?

[yellowlight left normal]
Uh...{0.2} I think that might've been my fault...

[MADELINE right upset]
Oh. {0.2}Great.{0.2} The Crystal Heart just lost all its value.

[]
Another long silence followed...
No one wanted to start another conversation,{0.2} and no one brought up the cake again.{0.2} Tonight felt especially long.

endercellbd_26=
[bluelight left normal]
Geez...{0.3} Your cake is covered in dust now...

[MADELINE right sadder]
You're such an idiot. Don't get yourself hurt for my sake...{0.2} It's only a cake...

[bluelight left normal]
But...

[MADELINE right sadder]
Don't worry about me. Just get some rest...

[bluelight left normal]
...Okay.

endercellbd_27=
[redlight left normal]
Uh...

[MADELINE right sadder]
Mm...

[redlight left normal]
Y-Your cooking is really good...ha...haha?

[MADELINE right sadder]
Sorry...I'm not really in the mood to take on an apprentice right now.

[redlight left normal]
...

[MADELINE right sadder]
...

endercellbd_28=
[yellowlight left normal]
I'm really sorry about leaving traps floating around in midair...

[MADELINE right upset]
No, that's not what I'm asking.

[yellowlight left normal]
Then what were you trying to ask...?

[MADELINE right distracted]
That golden strawberry over there...what is it?

[yellowlight left normal]
No idea...Maybe the landslide just exposed it from inside the mountain?

[MADELINE right sadder]
...

[yellowlight left normal]
Do you want to take it with you?

[MADELINE right sadder]
I don't know...

[yellowlight left normal]
We've still got plenty of time...If you ever want it, you can always come back for it.

[MADELINE right sadder]
...Thank you.
