Toriel: "Did you rest well?"
Toriel: "Come to think of it, I had some very strange dreams."
Toriel: "Oh well! No more TV just before bed!"
Susie: "Kris, how the hell'd you sleep through breakfast like THIS?"
Susie: "Butterscotch pancakes? INFINITE omelettes?"
Susie: "Living like this's gotta be a sin."

Susie: "That pretty much tracks."
Susie: "One looked like the church symbol."
Susie: "Don't got that code yet, but it could be here."

Susie: "So Undyne probably knew something, too."
Susie: "One looked like a pine tree, and the mayor..."
Susie: "Likes trees, right? I mean, there's one in City Hall."
Susie: "Maybe... Maybe that's why the Knight captured Undyne?"
Susie: "They wanted to take their code so they could get in..."

Green Pippin: "..."
Green Pippin: "All right. I admit it. None of us are actually Mike."
Green Pippin: "We're just kind of... in charge of Mike's room. Unofficially."
Green Pippin: "Tenna's always talking to Mike, right...?"
Green Pippin: "Well, ya see, sometimes he wants to come to this room and... "visit" him."
Green Pippin: "It's been that way since TV world!"
Green Pippin: "But he gets really moody if Mike isn't there... And takes it out on us."
Green Pippin: "Now, here's the thing about that."
Green Pippin: "Mike has NEVER been here!!! Not once!!!"
Green Pippin: "And in order to stop Tenna from getting his nose twisted up..."
Green Pippin: "We just started taking turns pretending to be him!"
Green Pippin: "And you know what the weird thing is!? It actually worked!!!"
Green Pippin: "As long as there's a Mike, Tenna actually believes it!!"
Green Pippin: "Obviously, we couldn't let you in here, or you'd snitch."
Green Pippin: "... But it's too late now. Our conspiracy is busted."
Green Pippin: "... Just, before you tell Tenna, lemme ask you one last thing."
*(The Pippin gestures to a board behind him covered in red strings and photos.)*
Green Pippin: "Who's Mike?! Who is he??"
Green Pippin: "'cause none of us have ever seen him! None of us! Ever!"
Green Pippin: "Every time Tenna asks Mike to do something, it's either like..."
Green Pippin: "He just does it himself, we do it secretly, or..."
Green Pippin: "It just sorta happens!"
Green Pippin: "So who is Mike?? Who is he?? Is he just Tenna's imaginary friend!?"
Green Pippin: "Is he Tenna's alter-ego!? Like some alternate personality or something??"
Green Pippin: "And why the hell does he get so much love and attention!?"
Green Pippin: "If the weather guys are second-in-command, what does that make him?!"
Zapper: "Uh, what if it's us?"
Green Pippin: "Us?"
Zapper: "Yeah, we been pretending to be Mike doin' stuff..."
Zapper: "What if when we pretend to be Mike, we's actually Mike?"
Green Pippin: "What?"
Green Pippin: "It's ALWAYS been us!?"
Green Pippin: "Then where'd the idea of Mike come from in the first place?"
Green Pippin: "Beats me..."
Green Pippin: "This doesn't make any sense!!"
Green Pippin: "What about you guys!! You came to this room..."
Green Pippin: "Are YOU guys Mike?? Are you!?"
Green Pippin: "Huh!? Are ya!? Are ya!?"
Green Pippin: "Ahhhh, I give up! As long as someone's Mike, it'll work out!"

[Scene: Obj Holiday Mansion 1F]
*(Kris, Susie, and Noelle enter through the front door into the entrance foyer. A fully functional Santa animatronic on a side table waves and plays a repetative "Hohoho" When Kris turns it on.)*
Noelle: "Welcome to my ho-ho-home..."
Susie: "Kris. Let's start searching."
Noelle: "Um, OK! Let's meet at the couch when you're done searching?"
*(Kris and Susie approach a Santa statue by the back door. Its movements are slow, shuddering, and deeply unsettling. The arm rises in an arthritic wave before freezing mid-gesture. Its eyes flicker. The sound it produces is a slowed, warbling rendition of "Hohoho" at half-speed when Kris turns it on.)*
Susie: "Hahaha!!! What the heck is this!?"
Noelle: "My mom collects them..."
Susie: "Okay. How the hell do you turn it off?"
Noelle: "Umm, just hold down the button!"
Noelle: "Though, for some weird reason, turning it off takes power?"
Noelle: "So it takes forever on the low battery ones, faha."
Noelle: "(There wouldn't be so many Santas with dead batteries...)"
Noelle: "(If Kris hadn't glued the cases shut trying to 'starve them'...)"

[Scene: Obj Holiday Kitchen]
*(The group enters the kitchen through a door under the staircase. It is large, clinical, and spotless. The counter curves in a semicircle from refrigerator to sink to stove. Against the far right wall stands an upright piano, well-maintained and regularly tuned, beside a permanent Christmas tree decorated year-round with the family's best ornaments. A grand dining table that seats six dominates the center, always set for six despite only one person regularly eating here.)*
*(The fridge is packed with festive foods.)*
*(... and a jar of pickles.)*
*(The sink is sparkling clean.)*
*(Above the stove, mounted on the wall with professional-grade brackets, hangs a single katana.)*
Susie: "... Anyone gonna say anything about the giant sword?"
Noelle: "Oh, it's just my mom's katana."
Noelle: "Normal knives aren't enough for dad's fruitcake! Faha!"
*(In the cupboard are... cutters for gingerbread monsters.)*
*(Kris checks the Christmas tree in the kitchen.)*
*(It's a highly climbable looking tree.)*
*(A large white piano sits in the corner.)*
Susie: "Woah, you play piano?"
Noelle: "Umm, no. We... just kind of, um, have one. Faha."
Noelle: "No one really... plays it anymore."

[Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom]
*(They move into the living room, the largest open space on the ground floor. A large, plush sofa faces a coffee table in the center. Two armchairs flank the table.)*
*(Kris the living room fridge.)*
Susie: "Why is there so much... bottled water in here?"
Noelle: "Umm, it's just... convenient, you know?"
Susie: "(Wait until she learns about the free water from the sink.)"
Noelle: "I usually bring an icy bottle with me to school,"
Susie: "Huh... coulda swore I saw you using the bubbler after me before."
Noelle: "FAHA, yeah, must've been extra thirsty, that day! Phew!"
*(Kris checks the back door.)*
*(The house's back door. No need to leave.)*
*(There's a standing water fridge unit by the back door, stocked with bottled water.)*
*(Kris notices a small, unassuming door off the living room.)*
*(Inside is a closet-sized room. Several boxes that resemble wrapped Christmas gifts sit inside. They are uniformly sized, sealed, and have been here for years.)*
*(A ventilation grate is visible on the wall. It is large enough for a person to fit through.)*
Susie: "(Kris is staring super intense... this room has gotta be it.)"
Susie: "Sorry Noelle, but we gotta go in here..."
Noelle: "To... to the bathroom?"
Susie: "(Dammit, Kris!)"
*(Kris heads upstairs. On the second floor landing, between two bedroom doors, a set of bronzed paper snowflakes hangs on the wall. One is large, about 30cm in diameter, surrounded by a dozen smaller ones. A fine layer of dust covers them. They have not been moved or cleaned in years.)*
Susie: "What's with the ninja shurakins?"
Noelle: "FAHAHA! Those are snowflakes, Susie!"
Noelle: "We made them from paper in Toriel’s class a long time ago..."
Susie: "then why are they metal?"
Noelle: "Oh."
Noelle: "My mom had then... bronzed."
Susie: "Kris, where the hell are YOUR shurakins?"
Noelle: "Unm, Kris overcut their snowflake and it fell apart."
Noelle: "(I did make a new one for then, but...)"
*(Kris is standing by the staircase leading up to the third floor. The landing above has a single door, flanked by red heart-shaped decorative pillows.)*
Noelle: "My mom just... collects heart pillows for some reason."
Noelle: "(When Kris was little, they'd take one of these...)"
Noelle: "(Then pretend to "rip out their heart" and chase me.)"
Noelle: "My mom just loves red heart-shaped objects?"
Susie: "(click...) Yep... It's locked, all right."
Susie: "Noelle, you give it a shot."
Noelle: "Um, o-okay? (... why are we trying to open my parents' room?)"
*(You and Susie continue to try to open the locked door in front of Noelle.)*

[Scene: Obj Noelle Room]
*(The group enters Noelle's bedroom. The walls are a gentle sky-blue with pink accent trim. The carpet is a plush, pale rose. The room was decorated for a younger girl and never updated, though Noelle has layered her own personality onto it through personal items. Trophies line a shelf above the bed. A window sofa covered in throw pillows looks out onto the street.)*
Susie: "(She's not looking, Kris. Let's hack her computer for clues.)"
*(Kris checks the computer.)*

Susie: "Woah, what the hell is this?"
Noelle: "UMM... Catti, wanted a custom cover for her mix CD, so..."
Susie: "... it's cool. You should, uh... do this look... more."
Noelle: "Faha, if you can get my mom to let me go grimdark?"
*(Kris checks the wardrobe. It is modest, a single-door wardrobe. Small relative to the walk-in closet across the hall.)*
*(A clothes wardrobe. A pair of small angel wings are inside, worn out and tattered.)*
Susie: "... what are these little, uh, wings in here?"
Noelle: "Um, oh, haha, those? I've had those since I was a little kid..."
Noelle: "They're from when I was the angel in the Holiday Pageant."
Noelle: "... But I liked them so much, I just... kept wearing them."
*(Kris checks the desk.)*
*(It's Noelle's homework desk. You took a pencil out of habit.)*
*(Kris checks the TV table.)*
*(It's a state of the art high-definition TV with old game consoles under it.)*
Susie: "Why do you... have a flatscreen in here?"
Noelle: "Oh! Umm, yeah, Berdly keeps saying I should get a CRT. Faha!"
*(It's a Christmas cactus in a red pot, sitting on a small elevated platform beside the TV.)*
*(You remember it's named 'Krismas.')*
Noelle: "Umm, this cactus? Berdly calls it 'Tsuntsun...'"

[Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom Sofa]

*(The phone rings. Noelle answers.)*
Noelle: "Sorry, um, phone call! I'll be just a sec!"
Noelle: "Hi, Berdly! What's up? Umm... huh? Sure, of... of course I'm alone!"
Noelle: "Um, sure, I bet I do look "quite cervine this fine evening"...?"
Noelle: "If it's about the notes, I already highlighted them for you, so..."
Noelle: "Wh... what? You want me to... go on a date to the festival... with you?"
Susie: "..."
Noelle: "Umm... I mean... sure, I... I... I'd be glad to..."
Noelle: "... be your, Player 2...""
*(Susie stands up, looking furious.)*
Susie: "SHE'S NOT GOING TO THE FESTIVAL WITH YOU, DUMBASS!!"
*(Susie grabs the phone and hangs up.)*
Noelle: "S... Susie!?"
Susie: "Look, you don't really wanna go with him, right?"
Susie: "Some people aren't gonna get it 'til you scream "NO"."
Noelle: "... did you forget that or something?"
Noelle: "... yeah. Yeah... you're right!"
Noelle: "I shouldn't be afraid to... tell Berdly how I really feel."
Noelle: "Next time I... I should be honest! Next time, I should..."
Noelle: "I... I should shake his neck and scream at him!"
Susie: "So, uhh..."
Noelle: "HAHA, where did you throw my phone, anyway?"
Susie: "(Kris, I'll keep her busy! You go look for clues!)"

[Scene: Obj Dess Room]
*(Kris crosses the second-floor hallway, passing the bronzed snowflakes between the two bedroom doors. The door to the right room has no nameplate. Kris opens it.)*
*(The room has no windows. The only light source is a desk lamp. The carpet is acid-teal. The walls are painted with a low-detail aurora borealis pattern, sweeping bands of teal, deep blue, and faint green. Teal paper stars are affixed to the walls in scattered constellations. Everything is covered in a fine layer of dust. The air smells of old paper, dried guitar strings.)*
*(It's a shelf. In the front are all the holiday-themed games and movies...)*
*(... and at the back are all the scary games you never got to play.)*
*(It's Dess's bed, sheets rumpled and unmade as they were left. Underneath are army rations, guitar picks, paintball gear, ice skates...)*
*(... and a badly traced drawing of a dragon.)*
*(A calendar hangs above the bed, frozen on the month she disappeared.)*
*(It's a CD player next to a towering pile of CDs. Underneath are tons of punk rock CDs... and one still-sealed ska CD.)*
*(There's a door to a walk-in closet. You don't open it.)*
*(Kris checks a box of odds-and-ends.)*
*(Dig through?)*
[Player Choice: ♥ Dig through]
*(You dug through the box and found...)*
*(A couple of burnt lighters, rusted multitool knives, expired rations, walkie talkies, loose binoculars, a pair of shoes fit for hooves, violent comic books, paintballs, a cracked hockey mask, frayed yarn and buttons, your brother's retainer, and old mint cans with unique leaves inside of them.)*
*(Kris approaches the red guitar on the wall.)*
*(It's a red guitar.)*
*(... ?)*
*(There's a code taped to the inside.)*
*(It says "SHELTER".)*
*(Take it?)*
[Player Choice: ♥ Take it]
*(Kris leans down to look inside the guitar. They begin to read the numbers in the pass code... 1 2 2...)*
*(Suddenly, Kris's body jerks. They reach into their chest and rip out the SOUL/Player. They shove the SOUL into a wrapped gift box sitting in the corner of the room. SOUL/Player escapes through the ventilation grate in the wall.)*

[Scene: Obj Vent Gameplay]
*(The Player controls the SOUL through the mansion's ventilation system. Top-down perspective. Visibility limited to a small circle of light around the SOUL.)*
*(Eventually SOUL reaches the single opened vent. Disabling breaker panel in the basement.)*
*(Power cut. The lights go out throughout the mansion.)*

[Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom Dark]
Susie: "Dude, the lights..."
Noelle: "Did, like, the power go out..?"
Susie: "Auugh, Kris! We know it's you doing one of your stupid pranks!"
Susie: "... Let's go fix the breaker."

[Scene: Obj Holiday Basement]
*(Susie and Noelle descend the staircase into the basement. Susie is using a flashlight. The air is cold and smells of cardboard, dust, and pine needles. Boxes of Christmas storage line the walls, labeled in Carol's precise handwriting. A deflated Ice-E inflatable slumps in one corner. A small Christmas tree stands nearby with a hollow angel doll figure on top. A non-functional toy train set circles its base.)*
Noelle: "Umm, sorry, Dad didn't clean the basement this year..."
Noelle: "Anyways, the breaker's down here somewhere."
Noelle: "You know what REALLY made me afraid of basements?"
Noelle: "Like... the underground levels from Dragon Blazers."
Noelle: "The music just repeats over and over again."
Susie: "Hell yeah. That was weird."
Noelle: "You played it?"
Susie: "Yeah, uhh, only 2. As a kid. Got it from the lost and found."
Susie: "Even though it wasn't mine. Hahaha."
Noelle: "Susie! Haha."
Susie: "I played it secret-style so I wouldn't get in trouble."
Noelle: "Oh my gosh, same. I played 2 with my Dad, but like..."
Noelle: "There was like... this Evil Route my parents didn't know about?"
Noelle: "I always played it in secret so they wouldn't take it away."
Susie: "Dude, I think I did that by accident."
Noelle: "Fahaha! You did the Evil Route by ACCIDENT?"
Susie: "Yeah, I like... I didn't know you could be... nice?"
Susie: "So I was just killing everything and getting like, pissed."
Susie: "Why the hell is everyone mad?"
Susie: "Pretty sure I'd... do it the good way, now, though."
Susie: "Maybe."
Noelle: "Gosh, I'd love to see you play it for real."
Susie: "Well, uh, if you got another copy. Just leave it in the lost in found I guess."
Noelle: "Faha, maybe I will!"

[Scene: Obj Holiday Basement Catch]
*(Susie and Noelle are in the dark basement. Susie's flashlight beam cuts through the gloom.)*
Noelle: "Oh my gosh, this just brushed against my leg..."
Susie: "What the hell is that?"
Noelle: "It's... it's an... angel doll..."
Susie: "It... it was goddamn moving!"
*(The red SOUL darts across the floor. Susie lunges for it.)*
Susie: "Okay, ready to kill. I got a cane... You..."
Susie: "You're gonna beat it to death with a cookie pan?"
Noelle: "N-no! No, I'm just going to..."
*(Noelle throws a heavy sack over the SOUL, trapping it.)*
Susie: "Huh? Dude, you got guts!"
Noelle: "There's probably just like... a mouse underneath it, right?"
Noelle: "It's... nothing to be afraid of."
Susie: "Damn..."
*(The lights flicker and suddenly surge back on. The mansion is illuminated again.)*

[Scene: Obj Holiday Livingroom Sofa Later]
*(Susie and Noelle return to the living room and sit back on the couch. The trapped "mouse" bag is on the coffee table, vibrating.)*
Susie: "Dude, wait. Wait a sec."
Noelle: "H... huh?"
Susie: "Something ELSE followed us from the basement..."
Noelle: "H-huh...? What?"
Susie: "THE SEVERED HAND!!!"
Noelle: "(Screams)"
Susie: "... Susie! Fahaha! You meanie!"
Susie: "Heheh, got ya."
Susie: "Okay, what do we do? Throw it out?"
Noelle: "Umm... let's think about it, first."
Noelle: "If it's a mouse, it could be cute as a pet..."
Susie: "Heheh, alright. And if it's a severed hand..."
Susie: "I'll keep it as MY pet."
Noelle: "Fahaha! Wait, let me raise it, too!"
Susie: "Heh, sure. We'll raise it together."
*(The bag on the table bursts open. The SOUL flies out and zips back toward Dess’s room. Susie and Noelle don't notice.)*
Noelle: "It's.. funny. I was... so nervous earlier."
Noelle: "I've... never actually hung out with you, y'know?"
Noelle: "But so far, it just kind of feels like..."
Noelle: "I don't even know why I was... nervous?"
Noelle: "It just feels like... I already know you."
Susie: "Yeah, I... I, uh, feel the same. It's... pretty cool."
Susie: "I guess."
Noelle: "It's just strange. It feels like..."
Noelle: "It feels like you're the same as in my dream."
Susie: "Uhh, what was, your dream about me, like?"
Noelle: "H-huh? Oh, I, u... um..."
Noelle: "I mean, uh, I think I have to..."
Noelle: "I have to go find, um, my old hamster cage..."
Susie: "Hey, WAIT, I wanna hear about your dream!"
Susie: "Don't move a goddamn INCH."

[Scene: Obj Dess Room Battle]
*(The SOUL/Player returns to Dess's room through the opened door. Kris is hiding under the bed. Suddenly, they hurl a puck at the SOUL, knocking onto the guitar, making a noise in the process. Kris stands up in the center of the room without their SOUL. They look hollow and aggressive.)*
*(The SOUL touches the guitar.)*

[Scene: Obj Dess Room Discovery]
*(Susie and Noelle run into the room, attracted by the noise.)*
Susie: "D... did you just hear that? It sounded like a guitar..."
Noelle: "Huh? It's probably just Kris, like the other stuff..."
Susie: "Oh hell. Dude, it's GONE! The angel fell over!"
Noelle: "That thing could be anywhere!"
Susie: "It had to have been coming from..."
Susie: "... um, in here, but..."
*(Susie spots the red guitar. Kris has quickly moved to the corner, standing still and hiding the hockey stick behind their back.)*
Susie: "Hey, let's go!"
*(Susie grabs the red guitar from the wall.)*
Noelle: "Hmm... it's quiet."
Susie: "Yeah, well, it's probably scared of us."
Noelle: "Susie... t-touching that... isn't..."
Susie: "Let's just chill out. If it's gonna come out, we'll hear it."
Noelle: "Yeah... you're right. We'll know it's there if it makes noise."

Noelle: "[Surprised] * Huh?"
Susie: "[Looking away/Awkward] * From, uh, what you just said. He would."
Noelle: "[Looking down/Sad] * Right. It just makes me wonder... why."
Noelle: "[Eyes closed/Sighing] * In the end I got so overwhelmed I... stopped questioning it."
Noelle: "[Looking away/Nostalgic] * I ended up... I ended up being in a large city, with Kris."
Noelle: "[Looking down/Thoughtful] * What was interesting is that... Kris just..."
Noelle: "[Looking away/Confused] * Kris, just acted, not like their normal self?"
Noelle: "[Looking down/Sad] * They acted... Just like they do recently, I guess."
Susie: "[Neutral] * Huh. Kris seems normal recently to me."
Noelle: "[Looking away/Thoughtful] * And everything was... I guess it was..."
Noelle: "[Looking away/Thoughtful] * Almost like a game or something."
Noelle: "[Smiling slightly] * Encountering enemies, finding treasures, stuff like that."
Susie: "[Surprised] * Huh. Never thought of it like that."
Noelle: "[Looking down/Sad] * And Kris, even though they kept looking at me..."
Noelle: "[Looking down/Sad] * Like they wanted to say something..."
Noelle: "[Looking away/Confused] * Everything that came out of their mouth, sounded... odd."
Noelle: "[Looking away/Confused] * Like it was like on speaker or something."
Susie: "[Grinning/Dismissive] * Sounds like normal Kris to me."
Noelle: "[Looking down/Serious] * Well... It wasn't. Something was weird."
*...*
Susie: "[Annoyed] * I think Kris's just weird, period."

Susie: "[Looking away/Confused] * But sometimes, it's like... dude, I don't know why, but like..."
Susie: "[Looking away/Confused] * For some reason they're really really..."
Susie: "[Wide eyes] * Good at flirting?"
Noelle: "[Shocked/Blushing heavily] * ... h-huh? W... what makes you say that, Susie?"

Noelle: "[Surprised/Slightly disappointed] * You were, thinking of going together?"
Susie: "[Looking away/Sad] * Yeah, but y'know, he can't go."
Susie: "[Looking away/Lying] * Cause of like, other school. Stuff."

Noelle: "[Looking away/Nervous] * We... I mean, we..."
Noelle: "[Looking away/Dismissive] * We're just neighbors so, I mean..."
Noelle: "[Looking down/Sad] * We just... ended up seeing each other a lot. That's all."

Susie: "[Neutral] * Kinda like... riding a Ferris wheel together."
Noelle: "[Forced laugh/Hidding flush] * Fahaha, yeah, it was kind of just... You know. Forced."
Susie: "[Curious/Testing] * So, riding a Ferris wheel together, doesn't mean anything?"
Noelle: "[Looking away/Nervous] * Ummm, maybe not if it's like... Just like a forced thing?"
Susie: "[Surprised/Realizing] * Oh."
Susie: "[Looking away/Defensive] * I mean yeah, obviously. I mean, it's just a stupid ride."
Noelle: "[Looking down/Sad] * ..."
Susie: "[Looking away/Nervous] * So if, theoretically, it was somebody else? It wouldn't..."
Noelle: "[Panicking/Interrupting] * I MEAN,"
Noelle: "[Looking away/Blushing] * Maybe it's more about, how the two people in the wheel, feel?"
Noelle: "[Looking away/Blushing] * So, maybe even if it is forced, then..."
Susie: "[Grinning/Relieved] * Okay, cool. Haha."
*...*
Susie: "[Curious] * So how did you feel, back then?"
Noelle: "[Looking away/Nostalgic] * Well, Kris was quiet, and staring out the window..."
Noelle: "[Surprised expression] * And suddenly out of nowhere, they shook the whole thing..."
Noelle: "[Smiling softly] * And I screamed, and then they turned to me and smiled..."
Susie: "[Neutral] * ..."
Susie: "[Confused] * So is that, good or bad?"
Noelle: "[Looking down/Sad] * ..."
Noelle: "[Looking away/Lying] * Umm, I don't remember. I was a kid."

[Player Choice: ♥ Return to beginning]
[Player Choice: Do Not]
*(The chamber is a total vacuum of light. Every footfall sends a translucent ripple of blue light that momentarily reveals the jagged geometry of floating glass platforms. One misstep into the unmapped void results in a plummet into nothingness.)*
*(At the furthest reach of this maze sits a solitary chest. Inside lies the Waferguard.)*
*(The final stretch is a frantic gauntlet atop a massive pipe organ hurtling through the collapsing sanctuary. Shadow orbs chase from behind. Kris steers the organ through widening chasms as the floor disintegrates into static. The thunderous, distorted chords provide a manic soundtrack to the escape.)*

[Scene: Obj 3Rd Sanctuary Climb Start]
*(Kris, Susie, and Ralsei walk up a massive, seemingly endless flight of stairs. The architecture of the church is visible in the background, distorted by the Dark World's influence.)*
Ralsei: "The fountain..."
Ralsei: "I can feel its presence just past this wall..."
*(Suddenly, several black tracking swords fly in from the left, smashing the ornate wall at the top of the stairs into rubble.)*
Susie: "H... hey! W-wait"
Susie: "The hell are we going to climb up there now...?"
...: "FRAINDS NEED HELP...?"
*(Jackenstein appears at the bottom of the screen, looking up at the party.)*
Ralsei: "Mr. Jack, what are you doing here? It's dangerous!"
Susie: "Yeah, get back to the study!"
Jackenstein: "JACK FEAR NO DANGER!!"
Jackenstein: "FRAINDS HELP JACK CLAIMB OUT OF PIT OF BAD FEELINGS AND LONELY NESTS"
Jackenstein: "JACK WILL HELP FRAINDS CLAIMB ANYTHING NOW!!"
Susie: "... Not like we have another choice anyway."
Jackenstein: "OKI TOKI ON MY SHOULDERS PLEASE :-)"
*(Jackenstein leaps up to the ledge. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei hop onto his massive shoulders.)*

[Scene: Obj Jackenstein Climb Sequence]
*(Jackenstein begins scaling the vertical iron supports behind the broken wall. He moves with surprising agility for his size.)*
Jackenstein: "WALL BECOMES THIN HERE... LET'S BE CAREFUL."
*(As they climb, more tracking swords fly toward them. Jackenstein tilts his body to dodge, keeping the party balanced.)*
Jackenstein: "NO WORRY... JACK JUST HANG ON AND..."
*(A massive barrage of swords strikes the wall directly around Jackenstein, causing the structure to buckle. He loses his grip but uses his remaining momentum to hurl the party upward toward a distant ledge.)*
Susie: "You guys... The hell are you doing here!?"
*(A group of Recruits, Guei, Mizzle, Balthizard, and Bibliox, appear on the ledge above. They link arms and tails, forming a living chain to catch the party.)*
Recruits: "We apologize for our belated realization..."
Recruits: "But you three are the heroes, are you not!?"
Recruits: "The story of your kindness..."
Recruits: "Has become legendary!!"
*(The Recruits swing the party upward with a coordinated effort, launching them onto the final platform.)*
Recruits: "And so, posthaste, we come to aid you in your battle..."
Recruits: "Go forth... and defeat the Knight!"
Ralsei: "Everyone... thank you so much!"
Susie: "Heh, guess being nice kinda pays off...!"
Susie: "Now let's go kick that Knight's ass!"

[Scene: Obj 3Rd Sanctuary Final Corridor]
*(The party enters a long, dark hallway lined with bookshelves. The light is dim, and the atmosphere is heavy.)*
Ralsei: "It's getting dark..."
Ralsei: "Let's stick together."
*(Susie and Ralsei huddle close to Kris, their sprites walking in a tight formation. Suddenly, a massive black blade strikes the ground in front of them, followed by a barrage of tracking swords.)*
Susie: "...!?"
Susie: "D... Damn it!"
Susie: "It's so dark... we can't see anything..."
Susie: "If this keeps up, we'll be..."
*(Kris's SOUL suddenly bursts with an intense, pure white light, creating a protective aura around the trio.)*
Ralsei: "K... Kris?"
Susie: "Kris...? What is that... light?"
*(The Knight's swords continue to rain down. Kris stands firm, the light from the SOUL parrying the projectiles. Susie steps in front of Kris, using her body to shield them from a stray sword.)*
Ralsei: "S... Susie...! What are you doing?"
Susie: "... Like I'm going to let Kris hog all the bullets."
*(Ralsei swapping position with Susie, taking damage at himself.)*
Ralsei: "Susie... Kris... as long as there's any pain I can take in your place..."
Ralsei: "I'll be there, okay?"
*(The barrage finally ceases. The party reaches the end of the corridor, standing before the entrance to the Fountain's chamber.)*

Ralsei: "Looks like that's the end of it."
Susie: "..."
Susie: "Yeah."
Susie: "Let's finish this."

[Scene: Obj 3Rd Sanctuary Knight Confrontation]
*(The party reaches a circular platform surrounded by bookshelves. A massive dark void is in the center.)*
*(Suddenly, a figure descends from above. It is the Roaring Knight. It lands silently, wielding a massive blade.)*
Susie: "Nowhere to run this time, dumbass!"
Susie: "I dunno where you've put Toriel, but... it's over!!"
Susie: "The Fountain's just past you, isn't it?"
Susie: "That means... we don't even have to fight you."
Susie: "All we have to do is get PAST you... and it's over."
Susie: "... You..."
Susie: "You can't beat us in the Light World, can you??"
Susie: "That's... why you keep running, isn't it?"
*(The Knight's shoulders shake, as if laughing.)*
Susie: "Hey... hey, what's so funny?"
Susie: "Kris, why... are they laughing...?"
Susie: "You're laughing 'cause you know I'm right, don't you!?"
Susie: "You lose that Fountain, it's over!!"
Ralsei: "Don't..."
Ralsei: "DON'T MAKE ANOTHER FOUNTAIN!!!"

[Scene: Obj Knight Fountain Creation]

*(The sheer force of the energy pushes the party back.)*
*(The screen shakes violently as the new Fountain forms, tearing through the fabric of the current Dark World. Abstract patterns of smoke and darkness fill the screen. A giant hand appears in the static, clenching into a fist, summoning an energy beam from the Eye within the palm.)*

[Scene: Obj Fountain Climb Intro]
*(The visual chaos subsides. A massive, solid pillar of darkness now stands in the center of the room, reaching infinitely upwards.)*
Susie: "Wh... what is that thing!?"
Ralsei: "It's... It's..."
*(A beam of light shines down the side of the pillar.)*
Ralsei: "There's... there's no time to explain!"
Ralsei: "Everyone, climb on! It won't attack itself!!"
*(The party jumps onto the side of the massive pillar.)*

[Scene: Obj Fountain Climb Gameplay]
*(A vertical platforming sequence begins. Kris must climb the side of the solidified Fountain.)*
*(The surface is treacherous, covered in cracks and shifting shadows. Giant eyes open on the surface of the pillar, firing projectiles that Kris must dodge.)*
*(Kris climbs higher, jumping between safe patches of rock. The background is a dizzying swirl of stained glass and darkness.)*
*(Shadowy tendrils lash out from the cracks. Kris maneuvers around them, stamina draining.)*
*(Higher up, the pillar becomes smoother. Kris has to use the ClaimbClaws to grip the surface.)*
*(A massive eye opens at the top of the screen, firing a beam of energy down the center. Kris dodges to the side just in time and attacks The Eye.)*
*(Finally, Kris reaches a ledge at the top.)*

[Scene: Obj Fountain Top Ledge]
Susie: "... huff... puff..."
Susie: "Looks like we're safe..."
Ralsei: "..."
Ralsei: "... for the time being."
Ralsei: "If we stay here..."
Ralsei: "... it's only a matter of time until it finds us."
Susie: "Ralsei, what... the hell is that thing?"
Ralsei: "When the Fountain's power becomes too strong..."
Ralsei: "When the flow of darkness roars wild..."
Ralsei: "It makes... that."
Ralsei: "A Titan."
Ralsei: "It's the fear-of-dark."
Ralsei: "It's the bump-in-the-night."

Ralsei: "It has no consciousness."
Ralsei: "It only exists to destroy."
Susie: "Well... uh..."
Susie: "How the hell are we supposed to... beat it?"
Ralsei: "I..."
Ralsei: "... I don't think we can. It's hatching so fast."
Ralsei: "..."
Ralsei: "Unless..."
Ralsei: "Kris, you can seal Fountains, can't you?"
Ralsei: "Maybe... if the Titan... is anything like a Fountain..."
Ralsei: "You could..."

[Scene: Obj Church Roof Ruins]
*(The party collapses onto a stone walkway. They are high up, surrounded by the ruins of the church roof floating in a dark void. Papers and debris float in the wind.)*
Susie: "Hahh... hahh..."
Susie: "Doesn't... look like we can go much higher..."
Susie: "..."
Susie: "... Ralsei, are you okay...?"
Ralsei: "I... I'm fine. Just... a little rattled."

Ralsei: "... no."
Ralsei: "It's already... been here the whole time."

Susie: "We're heroes."
Susie: "And there's a whole lot of stuff written in our lives..."
Susie: "... we haven't gotten to see yet."
Susie: "So get out of our way."
Susie: "Or... as soon as my hands stop shaking..."
Susie: "My axe is gonna chop you in half, got it??"
*(The Titan pulls itself up. It is a gargantuan entity of pure darkness, with six wings and a single, shining star in its chest where a face should be. It towers over the heroes, filling the screen.)*
