Dialogue

Step 1 — The Reverie (Reality)

(Idle quotes): Wesley: So this is Penacony, huh...; Penelope: It's even more luxurious than I imagined...; Penelope: Can we afford this, dad?; Wesley: Don't worry, honey.; Wesley: Your father knows what he is doing...

Listen; Penelope: This hotel is even more luxurious than I imagined... Can we really afford this, father?; Wesley: Don't worry, Pennie. Your father has worked hard his whole life, what remains is all for the sake of this trip...; Penelope: ...; Wesley: What's wrong, Pennie? You can speak to me.; Penelope: ...It's nothing. I was just thinking, mother... Is she really here somewhere? Is this where she has been for all these years?; Wesley: She must be. Ever since I heard the name "Charlotte the Dream Artist," I had known that this is where she must be...; Penelope: ...; Wesley: Pennie, is there something on your mind? You mustn't keep it to yourself. I am your father, and you can tell me.; Penelope: ...Father, do you think... do you think this trip was really worth it?; Penelope: We used up nearly all of the money we have to our name to find her. Plus... Do you even think she'll be willing to come home with us?; Penelope: She left us without even a word. All these years have passed and she has not even tried to contact us once.; Wesley: ...; Penelope: What's more... What's more, I feel like we are perfectly happy just the two of us. If it weren't for those old photos, I would have almost forgotten what mother looked like by now...; Wesley: ...Pennie...; Wesley: I'm sorry, Pennie... I know how you feel. I understand. It's just that...; Wesley: I had to come here, Pennie. I love Charlotte — I love your mother... Now that I know where she is, I simply have to find her... Even if it is just to see her for a brief moment.; Penelope: ...; Penelope: ...I understand, father. Let's go and check in.; Wesley: Thank you, Pennie...

Step 2 — Golden Hour

(Idle quotes): Wesley: "Charlotte the Dream Artist..."; Wesley: Have you heard this name before?; Patient Banker: I feel like I've seen this before...

Listen; Wesley: Sir, I'm very sorry to disturb you. I am searching for someone and wonder if you know anything?; Wesley: "Charlotte the Dream Artist..." I don't suppose you've heard this name at all since you've been inside the dream, have you?; Patient Banker: "Charlotte the Dream Artist?" Hm... Is that a nickname of some kind? They sound like a painter or a sculptor?; Patient Banker: Ahh... I'm so sorry. I work in investment management, and I know nothing about the world of art.; Wesley: I see...; Penelope: Wait, Sir! I wanted to ask, do you know if there is a place where artists gather inside Penacony?; Patient Banker: Oh? Well...; Patient Banker: Hmm... There is actually a place that I have heard of, but...; Penelope: ...But? If you know something, you must tell us. This is very important to my father... and to me.; Patient Banker: I have heard before that The Family has gathered a group of famous artists and architects. I hear that they are planning to continue the expansion of "Golden Hour."; Patient Banker: It's just a rumor... I also don't know where exactly they are doing the construction. I mean... Even if I did, I imagine it's not somewhere that is open to guests.

Step 3 — Dream's Edge

(Idle quotes): Wesley: Charlotte...; Penelope: Mum really is here...; Wesley: This doesn't feel real...; Penelope: We've nearly found her, father.

Listen; Penelope: It's hard to imagine... Is my mother really that famous as an artist?; Penelope: In my memory, she was just this figure staring into space on the sofa. She always looked so depressed. I don't think I've ever seen her paint...; Wesley: Your mother, Charlotte... she is an exceptional woman. When I first met her, I saw a fire in her eyes... She captured my heart in just an instant.; Wesley: It may be hard for you to imagine, but... the few years before you were born, she was so full of life. Every day, she would rush from one exhibition to the next and as soon as she got home, she would raise up her brushes and begin creating.; Wesley: I knew that she had a great artistic talent and I hoped that she would receive the recognition that she deserved. However, there is always a disparity between dreams and reality...; Wesley: We were in desperate financial circumstances at the time and had racked up enormous debt. There were a few curators who showed interest in her work, but we could never afford the fees to put on an exhibition for her.; Wesley: Then, one day, she changed... She would no longer go to exhibitions, nor would she lift her brushes. It was as if she had lost all interest in everything life had to offer.; Penelope: This transformation... Was it before I was born, or after?; Wesley: ...It was before. Seeing her in that state, I blamed myself and I felt so sorry for her. I hated that I was so powerless. I hated that there was no way for me to give her the life that she wanted, let alone support her in chasing her dreams.; Wesley: After that, I remember it clearly... It was a morning like any other when she suddenly turned to me and asked: "Do you want a child, Wes?"; Wesley: The moment those words left her lips, I began to cry uncontrollably. I felt like... like our lives had some hope again. You — Pennie — before you were even born, you became my hope.; Penelope: ...; Penelope: But she still left in the end, didn't she? Even with me, even with a complete family...; Wesley: I believe she must have had her own reasons. As for why she could not tell me, I am uncertain. But I do not believe that she did it out of heartlessness. She is not that kind of person. There is no way. I know that she loves you, Pennie.; Penelope: ...; Penelope: That "Dreamweaver" just now said that Penacony's most outstanding artists gather periodically at "The Reverie" hotel in the Dreamscape, didn't he?; Wesley: That's right... But he also said that "The Reverie Hotel" is under maintenance at the moment. It's unlikely that regular guests will be able to enter.; Penelope: Didn't this place claim to not be open to guests? We still managed to get inside. A little challenge like this is no match for our father-daughter duo.; Wesley: Quite right.; Wesley: Let's go, Pennie. We have to find her...

Step 4 — The Reverie (Dreamscape)

(Idle quotes): Penelope: ...Mother!; Charlotte: Pennie? Wes?; Charlotte: You... How did you...; Wesley: Charlotte, I...; Wesley: I have so much I want to say to you.

Listen

Wesley: How long has it been? I no longer remember how many years have passed. Char... Look at me, I am a white-haired old man now. Yet you... You've barely changed at all.

Charlotte: This is the Dreamscape, Wes. People can do some amazing things inside a dream, such as maintaining their youth.

Charlotte: You two... I never thought that I would see you in Penacony, least of all here. Have... Have you been well?

Penelope: ..."Well?" "Have you been well?" is that all you have to say?

Penelope: Father has spent all of the savings that he worked himself to the bone for twenty years to save up, just to see you. How... How could you do this to us? To our family!? What... What do you think we are...

Penelope's voice started to crack. The bitterness and resentment that had gathered in her heart for so long transformed into tears and burst out in an instant.

Wesley: Pennie...

Wesley: Char, let me tell you. In those first few years, every night I would see you in my dreams, facing away from me. Every time I woke from those dreams, my heart would burn from the pain.

Wesley: Then, I learned to accept what had happened; I learned to force myself to be calm, because I still had Pennie — She had already lost her mother, so she could not handle it were her father to become a shell of a man.

Wesley: But, I was unable to eliminate the obsession deep in my heart. I told myself, no matter what happened, we would meet again one day. When that time came, I would hear your answer—

Wesley: ...Why, Charlotte? Why did you leave us without a single word?

Wesley: Do you love us... No, did you ever love us?

The old man's interrogation grew so heated that it was as if the very air inside the Dreamscape began to boil. You feel a burning sensation inside your chest.

Stay quiet and observe this family drama to the end.

Charlotte: ...; Charlotte: Pennie, Wes... I am sorry. There is no way I can excuse what I have done to our family.; Charlotte: Do you remember when we were first together, Wes? We were so poor, but so happy. Every day, I would immerse myself in my fantasies of becoming an artist, and you were mesmerized by my naivety.; Charlotte: But, as time went on, reality began to eat away at my dreams. That was until one moment, I became clenched in fear as I realized: This dream that I had held my entire life, the dream that I would die to have realized, may never come true.; Charlotte: It was then that I finally understood what was most important to me, in my heart of hearts. I know this may be cruel to say, but... I realized that this "thing" I lived for was neither love, nor our marriage...; Charlotte: I love you, Wes, more than anything — except art. You are my life, but art, art is my existence.; Wesley: ...; Wesley: ...Then what about Pennie? Why, why did you ask me—; Charlotte: —Because I love you, Wesley! Even if to me, that love would be the end, I did not want to be so cruel to you...; Charlotte: I guess it was hypocritical of me. I thought... That I had to leave something behind that would stay by your side... That way, when the time came that I had no choice but to leave, at least you wouldn't be left all alone...; Wesley: ...; Penelope: Mother, you...; Penelope: You... You are unbelievable!; Charlotte: I'm sorry, Pennie. I remember the day that you were born... As I looked at you, I quietly said to myself: Perhaps this is the happiness that I should stick with. Perhaps I have already been freed from that curse that haunts me, that curse that calls itself a "dream."; Charlotte: But, when The Family extended an olive branch to me, I finally realized: This curse would haunt me for my entire existence, and I could never escape it.; Charlotte: I must spend my life pursuing my dream. If I chose to refuse it, then all that awaited me was darkness. I had no choice in the matter.; Wesley: ...; Wesley: I understand, Char. Congratulations. Congratulations on making your dream come true.; Wesley: I should have understood long ago. That fire that I saw burning in your eyes all those years ago, it did not burn for me. The warmth that I felt from you... It was merely the residual warmth of your burning ambition.; Wesley: I... Ack...; Penelope: Father? Dad! What's happening?; Wesley's limbs began to spasm horrifyingly as his body began to disintegrate... disappearing alongside his hopes of a peaceful family reunion.; Charlotte: ...Don't worry, Pennie. I think he must have just woken up.; Penelope: ...; Penelope: Mom... You are not normal... You don't have a heart.; Penelope: You were right about one thing... The "beauty" that you seek in life is nothing more than a curse. You never understood how to love...; Penelope: I have to go and look after father. Goodbye, mom.; Charlotte: ...Sure.; Charlotte: Goodbye, Pennie.

Step 5 — The Reverie (Reality)

(Idle quotes): Gentle Housekeeper: Be more careful next time.; Penelope: Th—That bad? Sorry!; Penelope: I'm so clumsy...; Gentle Housekeeper: Don't worry. Just be careful next time.

Listen; Gentle Housekeeper: You really are lucky that the client didn't complain straight to Giovanna.; Gentle Housekeeper: Let's pretend this never happened, but you've gotta learn from your mistakes, okay? I cannot be here to cover things up for you all the time.; Penelope: I—I'm sorry! I know this is just basic work but, I'm so clumsy...; Gentle Housekeeper: Don't be too hard on yourself. Looking at your slender frame, you can't have done much manual labor before, right?; Penelope: Yeah... I'm sorry. I know it's pathetic.; Penelope: You see, my father loves me so much... Although our family's financial situation was always shaky, he would never allow me to go out and do manual labor.; Gentle Housekeeper: Hah, it's like that movie! ...What was it called... Oh, I remember! Slum Princess! Having a father like that is a wonderful thing.; Gentle Housekeeper: Then why have you chosen to stay here to work? Surely your father will worry about you being so far away from home?; Penelope: Yeah, we've already fought about this... No matter what, I am sticking to what I have decided.; Penelope: My father spent almost all of his savings on this trip. He's getting old now. I can't just sit and watch him working himself into the ground for the sake of our family.; Penelope: I need to become independent. I need to learn to care for myself and find a way to repay him.; Gentle Housekeeper: Pennie... You're a wonderful daughter.; Gentle Housekeeper: But you haven't answered my question: Why have you chosen to stay in Penacony? Are there no job opportunities where you come from?; Penelope: This is because... there's someone still here, someone very important to my dad.; Penelope: I think she's cold and heartless. But, she was my father's whole world. So long as she doesn't want to come home, my father will never be truly happy.; Penelope: That is why I must stay here — I have to keep coming back to the Dreamscape and try to melt her frozen heart. One day... Our family will be reunited properly.
