Dialogue
Pre-Mission
- (Talk to Pom-Pom)
- Pom-Pom: (Trailblazer)...
What's wrong?- Pom-Pom: Every time Pom-Pom hears this song, Pom-Pom gets a weird sensation... Pom-Pom feels like floating about aimlessly in the universe, and a little sad...
- Pom-Pom: (Trailblazer), do you ever feel like this?
I'm not a sentimental type.
- Pom-Pom: Pom-Pom never thought you were such a staunch and stubborn person.
- I get sentimental easily.
- Pom-Pom: Pom-Pom never thought you were such a sensitive person!
- Pom-Pom: *sigh* This nameless emotion has been building up in my chest, and Pom-Pom just feels sadder and sadder. Sometimes it even makes me feel tired...
- Pom-Pom: (Trailblazer), what can Pom-Pom do to get rid of this weird feeling?
- Just ignore it.
- Pom-Pom: Even if there's dead silence, the voices don't go away!
- Listen to something else.
- Pom-Pom: There's nothing Pom-Pom can do. My mind and ears are just full of that song!
- Pom-Pom: In any case, please help Pom-Pom think up a fix for this, (Trailblazer)! You're my only salvation...

- Table Version
- Plant Version
- Cushion Version
- (Investigate table)
Investigate- There's a small ceramic mug near the edge of the table, and you discover nearly a third of its base extended over the edge. That is to say, if you were to give it the gentlest of nudges, it would smash to pieces.
- If a glass gets broken... Pom-Pom will certainly have a wonderful reaction to it, won't they?
- (Smash it)
- The sound of the mug smashing on the floor was so crisp that you trust Pom-Pom must have heard it...
- Pom-Pom: (Trailblazer), how can you be so careless! You smashed that mug! Really, now Pom-Pom has to get out my broom again...
- Pom-Pom: Don't be so careless again! Ceramic shards are dangerous, and someone could cut themselves.
- This is what I came up with.
- Seems like you're no longer depressed.
- Pom-Pom: ...Oh, so that was your plan all along? It seems like it kinda worked...
- Pom-Pom: But! The cost was too high! Next time, please don't do this! Boohoo... That was my mug.
- (Mission Completed)
(Forget it)
- (Trailblazer): (Think of another way)
- (Investigate plant)
- Investigate
- This is Pom-Pom's most prized plant. They'll notice even if one leaf is ever-so-slightly darker.
- If you plucked off a leaf... Pom-Pom would perk up a bit, right?
- (Pluck a leaf)
- Before you even have the time to pluck a leaf, Pom-Pom charges over...
- Pom-Pom: Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing!? This is the plant which Pom-Pom carefully tends! Touching it like that will impede its growth!
- Pom-Pom: Pom-Pom just can't let their guard down, can they? Whenever Pom-Pom isn't paying attention, a calamity is about to happen.
- This is what I came up with.
- Seems like you're no longer depressed.
- Pom-Pom: ...Oh, so that was your plan all along? It seems like it kinda worked...
- Pom-Pom: But! Next time, don't do that! Woo... You really freaked me out! Luckily my plant is alright...
- (Mission Completed)
- (Forget it)
- (Trailblazer): (Think of another way)
- (Investigate cushion)
- Investigate
- Pom-Pom carefully cleans the cushions here every day, and a little dust will quickly be swept away.
- Lying down with the slippers on will surely make Pom-Pom all worked up, right?
- (Lie down)
- Before you even have the time to place both feet upon the cushion, Pom-Pom charges over...
- Pom-Pom: Stop, stop, stop! How can you lie down here with your slippers on like that!? Pom-Pom breaks their back cleaning up around here every day!
- Pom-Pom: Pom-Pom just can't let their guard down, can they? Whenever Pom-Pom isn't paying attention, a calamity is about to happen.
- This is what I came up with.
- Seems like you're no longer depressed.
- Pom-Pom: ...Oh, so that was your plan all along? It seems like it kinda worked...
- Pom-Pom: But! Next time, please don't do this! Boohoo... This is Pom-Pom's most cherished cushion.
