Dialogue

Check the Central Computing Hub

Central Computing Hub repairs are done. It's time to inform Norma.

Booastrum District

The Central Computing Hub before you hums along, smooth and steady.

That's right, the core device of the Chip Project has been fully restored, and the Bangboo' code architecture has been upgraded too.

I'm seriously awesome!

Better tell Norma.

It's time to move into the final phase of the plan. Tell Norma and Victor it's time for the first chip trial!

Good news!

Norma, time to test!

The moment Norma gets the message, she bursts into the lab like a rampaging little Bangboo.

Norma: Awesome! Veli and I have backed up Victor's data, so we're ready to kick off the experiment!

Norma: I'll call everyone over right now to witness the greatest moment ever recorded in the history of Roscaelifer's Bangboo!

Before long, the Bangboo and friends gather inside the tiny Future Bangboo Laboratory.

Start the test with Norma

Everything is ready. It's time to help Norma begin the first memory-filtering chip test.

Booastrum District

(Idle): Norma: Let's get started!

Jake: Ehn-nhe! (I hope everything goes well!)

Victor: Ehn-nha! (No problem!)

Brock: Wuh-nha! Wuh-nha! (I'm so excited! So excited!)

Velina: I'm looking forward to it.

(Talk to Norma)

Special Event

Tomorrow in a Chip

Story Description: The memory-filtering chip preserves only some of Victor's memories. Feeling disheartened, Norma is comforted by everyone and resolves to guide them into the future with even greater inventions.

In the Bangboo-filled lab, an unusual silence hangs in the air, broken only by the "clicking and ticking" of Norma's instruments as she tinkers with unwavering focus.

Unlike the cautious onlookers, the eccentric genius calmly immerses herself in her own world. Then, amid cheers full of anticipation, Victor slowly awakens.

Victor: Ehn-ne... (I...)

Norma: Victor! How do you feel? Do you still remember everyone?

Wesker: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (Victor, look at me, look at me!)

Victor: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne. (You are... Wesker! You like liquid-electric bread, and once you ate so much you fainted. I had to drag you back to your workstation.)

Wesker: Ehn-ne ehn-ne! Ehn-ne, ehn-nu-ne... (Yep, that's me! I stuffed myself with bread to dodge work, but when I woke up, I was still at work...)

Penn: Ehn-ne? Nhu-ne, ehn-ne? (What about me? Victor, do you remember me?)

Victor: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne. (You're Penn! I remember you always asking for takebacks whenever we play Bangboo King Chess.)

Penn: ...Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne-ne! (...Hey, don't say that. Anyway... It's good that you remember me!)

Norma: Velina, Manager! Look, he remembers everything! He remembers it all! The chip is working!

Victor: ...Ehn-nu? Ehn-ne. Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne? (...Chip? I remember now. But... who are you?)

Norma: Me? I'm Norma! Norma Hollowell, the designer of the memory-filtering chip, your genius friend. How could you not remember me?

Victor: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne... Ehn-ne-ne, ehn-nu. (Sorry, you... and the Bangboo beside you, I can't remember either.)

Norma: Th—That can't be! Victor, you're joking with me, right? That's not funny at all!

Velina: ...This may be because your ties with certain Bangboo and Roscaelifer are too strong to be completely severed.

Velina: Norma, let's restore Victor's data first.

Norma: But...!

Velina: You've done a good job. Let's help Victor understand what's going on first, alright?

Norma: I...

All the confusion and resentment, emotions swelling like overinflated balloons, instantly deflate and disappear when she meets Victor's confused gaze.

Norma operates the instruments in silence. Before long, Victor awakens after his memory data is restored.

Victor: ...Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne? Ehn-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne! (...Norma, is the test over? I seem to remember quite a few Bangboo friends. This is truly an amazing invention!)

Norma: ...Don't try to comfort me. It's still far from enough.

Norma: Velina, can we give Victor a little more time? I can do better — really!

Velina: ...We already agreed on this before, didn't we?

Victor: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne. (It's okay. With Ms. Velina's records, I'll still retain plenty of memories. So don't worry too much.)

Victor: Ehn-ne, ehn-nu-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne. (And the memory-filtering chip has made excellent progress. We have all witnessed it.)

Norma: But this outcome is far from perfect! If saying goodbye is inevitable, then I should at least give you the best possible farewell gift.

Victor: Ehn-ne ehn-ne. (But you've already given me the best gift.)

Norma: ?

The memories you shared gave him the courage to move forward.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Victor said it was your courage and unquenchable curiosity that gave him the strength to leave everything behind and step into the unknown. That is the greatest gift of all. / Victor said it was your courage, along with your bold, outspoken curiosity, that gave him the strength to say goodbye to everything and step into the unknown. That is the best gift of all.‍)

Shared memories made Victor believe in tomorrow.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): It's the shared memories that made Victor believe that even on an unfamiliar journey, he would find friends as lovely as you and a future worth looking forward to. That is the best gift of all.

Victor: Ehn-ne enn-nhe! (Yes, exactly!)

Norma: But...

Velina: Hehe, the Manager really has a point.

Velina: Maybe the experiment's results didn't meet your expectations, but in the process of completing the chip, you and the Bangboo have already received many gifts, haven't you?

Brock: Enn-ne! Eun-ne! Wuh-ne! (Yes, yes! Norma taught me how to be a good "assistant instructor"! I learned a lot!)

Carter: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne! (It was also Norma who helped me take the bottle cap back from those nosy Bangboo and taught me to stand up bravely to unfairness.)

Norma: ...But that's different. Those were just simple things to do. What I want to achieve is a chip beyond imagination, an invention that transcends its era!

Norma: Although the experiment has made progress, the results are still far from perfect, and even the process of building the chip is filled with countless misunderstandings.

So neither the outcome nor the process really matters.

...I guess comfort won't solve the problem.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Yeah. Maybe it's not about the outcome, or even the process. What really matters is how you choose to see all of this. Of course, I understand that comfort and encouragement can't solve your problem.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍After all, only you can bring about the tomorrow you envision, through the chip you will create. / So, the future you have in mind is something only you can make real. Through the chip you will create!‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You've already successfully revolutionized the Bangboo's Logic Core and completed the first version of the memory-filtering chip. It's only a matter of time before you perfect it.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): To us, your invention is a path to tomorrow, built from every bit of doubt, effort, and hope along the (‍way. / way!‍)

Norma: ...My invention...

Norma: ...You're right. It's a chip only I could create, an invention only I could complete!

Norma: Only by creating a perfect chip can I truly make up for past regrets, help everyone preserve their own memories, and reach the tomorrow we all hope for.

She raises her head and looks at her Bangboo friends, who are, as always, watching her with earnest attention.

In the softly lit research room, a gentle warmth blooms, shining with a brilliance brighter than a thousand suns.

That light was known yesterday as memory, and today as hope. And it will go on to illuminate countless tomorrows.

Norma: I will do it! Because I'm a genius... a genius with lots and lots of Bangboo friends. How could there possibly be any Bangboo problem I can't solve?

Velina: Yes! Exactly.

Victor: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (Yes, that's right!)

Velina: Then, before you achieve the perfect chip, how about we first look forward to a perfect retirement party?

Velina: To honor the imperfect past we've shared together, and to welcome the future we look forward to.

Norma: ...Then I want to have jam bread at the party! And a huge, spectacular fireworks display! Veli, could you approve a little more budget for me?

Velina: Hehe, the first request is approved, but the second is denied. Oh, do you really think I don't know where the budget for bread and tea comes from?

Norma: Veli, you're so stingy! But I will find a way!

The disgruntled tech expert pouts, then secretly winks at Victor, and her old friend instantly gets the hint.

Amid the anticipation for the retirement party, Norma's first memory-filtering chip test comes to an end. Even though regret and hope walk hand in hand, we still have tomorrow.

Not long after, Victor's retirement party arrives as promised.

Chat with Norma before the retirement party

Finally, the day of the retirement party has arrived. Everyone seems excited. Once ready, go with Norma to start the party.

Booastrum District

(Idle): Shelby: Grey, check it for me again...; Grey: What's there to worry about? I already checked it out!

(Talk to Shelby, optional)

Shelby: Ms. Norma said this was a special part she prepared just for Victor, so I was scared of messing it up...

Grey: I already told you, I've checked the little drone. You don't trust me or what?

Shelby: Of course I trust you! I... I'm just scared of messing up again...

Grey: Maybe seeing things go wrong is exactly the kind of scene Professor Norma was hoping for?

Shelby: What... scene?

Yeah, what scene?

Grey: It's a secret~

I'm already starting to get scared.

Shelby: Me too...

Grey: Wow! Your confused faces are hilarious. Anyway, Professor Norma says if the sky falls, she'll hold it up herself!

She might be overestimating herself a little there.

I might get crushed first.

Grey: It's fine, when the time comes, just run away with us! Doesn't hearing that make you feel safer?

Well, thanks for that.

I think I'm even more scared now.

(Idle): Victor: Nhu-nha ehn na! (Everything's going smooth, everyone!); Jake: Ehn-nhu ne na! (We'll miss you!); Carter: Ehn-na! (Good luck!); Penn: Nhu-nhu nhe na! (See ya later!)

(Talk to Victor, optional): Jake: Ehn-nhu na, ehn ne. (Wishing you all the best, Victor.); Brock: Wuh-nhu, wuh-nhe na... Eugn nha ne!(Victor, what am I gonna do without you... take us with you too!); Penn: Nhu-nha... (That's not really necessary...); Carter: Nhe-nhu, ehn nha nhe. (Don't worry, we'll meet again.); Victor: Nhe, nhe-bhu-ne, ehn-ne. (Maybe then, we'll become friends again with brand-new identities. I can't wait.); Penn: Nhu-na, nhe nha. (Then I'll become the kind of good chess friend who never regrets a move.); Victor: Nhe-ne, ehn-ne. (Haha, sounds good. And thank you all for the bottle caps you prepared for me. I never expected there'd be so many. I really love them.); Joel: Ehn-ne, nhu-nhe-ne! (Victor, aside from all the rare bottle caps, we've got one more present for you later!); Victor: Ehn-ne? (What is it?); Brock: Wuh-nhe... Wuh-nha, nhu-wuh ne na! (It's... wait, no. Everyone said I'm not allowed to spoil the surprise. But either way, Norma helped out a lot!); Victor: Nhe-nhu ehn na. (I can't wait to find out.)

(Idle): (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Wise and the guys pulled off something amazing!Wise and the guys pulled off something amazing!Text for Wise / Belle and everyone did something incredible again.Belle and everyone did something incredible again.Text for Belle‍); Eous: Ehn-nhu! (Awesome!)

(Talk to your (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle), optional)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Soon as I heard the party was starting, I grabbed Eous and rushed right over! / As soon as I heard the party was about to start, I grabbed Eous and came right over.‍)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): I heard you not only helped restore the Central Computing Hub, but also repaired a whole bunch of Bangboo with corrupted code! I even hear people talking about what you did while I'm out delivering videotapes.

Pretty impressive, right?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍You're the best, Wise! / Mhm, you're awesome, Belle.‍) So make sure to promote our video store plenty at the party. Eous keeps saying he wants to share his movie reviews with all his new friends!

Thanks to everyone's help.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍You're too modest. / Since when did you get so modest?‍) The Bangboo here all seem to really like you. This is the perfect chance to promote the video store! Eous, you think so too, right?

Eous: Nhe-nha? Nhu-nhe? Ehn na! (Me? Oh yeah, that's right!)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): You know... ever since I heard Victor and Norma's story, I've been thinking... (‍Wise, / Belle,‍) if one day you lost all your memories, what would happen to us?

I'd never forget you.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Haha, don't look so nervous. I'm just speaking hypothetically. Besides, there's no way you'd ever forget me, right? Or am I still not enough of a headache for you? / Don't worry, Belle. I was just talking hypothetically. Besides, how could a little sister who relies on me this much ever forget her dependable big brother?‍)

I'd remember you again.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍I knew you'd say that! Then how about I take care of you when that happens? Wait, no... I'm already the one taking care of my troublemaking big brother who can't stop worrying me! / I figured you'd say that. What kind of person you'll be if that happens. Maybe you'll already be independent, smarter, and more mature... Honestly, that thought makes me a little sad.‍)

Eous: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne! (Don't worry, Eous will remember everything for everyone!)

Well done, Eous!

Thanks, Eous!

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): That's our Eous for you(‍! / .‍) I was only joking around. Let's look forward to today's party together, (‍Wise. / Belle.‍)

(Idle): Velina: The weather's looking good today.

(Talk to Velina, optional)

Velina: The kids and I put together some decorations. This is going to be a great party, right?

Of course, I'm looking forward to it.

Velina: This isn't my first time attending a Bangboo retirement party, but being here today still leaves me with mixed feelings.

Nice work, Velina.

Velina: This is all thanks to you, Norma, and the Bangboo. Every time there's a retirement party, I want the Bangboo to leave with happy memories, so I rarely attend them myself.

Velina: I'm the main person responsible for approving when Bangboo leave Roscaelifer, after all. So at a time like this, it's better if I don't add to everyone's worries.

But things are different now.

The Bangboo are all happy to have you here.

Velina: Mm, that's true. What I did for the Bangboo was nothing all that significant, and when it comes to the future beyond this...

Velina: I've always believed that Norma and her chip will achieve something even greater.

You two are the perfect partners.

Velina: Oh my, that's actually the exact description I wanted to use for you and Norma, Manager.

The two of you are just like a perfectly in-sync "mother and daughter."

Velina: My, if Norma found out you said that, she'd probably throw a tearful fit, wouldn't she?

Velina: Thank you for helping out Norma and the Bangboo. So please, relax and enjoy the party. It's such a lovely day today.

(Idle): Norma: It's so lively here! Time to make this place even more lively!

(Talk to Norma): Norma: Ready to get this party started, Honorary Assistant?; Let's get this party started!; I want to talk to everyone.

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

(A cinematic plays, where all gathered enjoy the party): Norma: Wahoo!; Belle: Slow down, Norma
Yuuuum——!; Wise: ...He got carried away and ran too fast; Norma: The retirement party's great; Shelby: It's flying!!; Grey: But...
It's flying!!; Norma: I don't like goodbyes... and I still haven't made the perfect chip; Norma: So, I'm going to remember this moment!; Shelby: So pretty!; Grey: We did it!; Velina: It looks great; Norma: So—; Norma: I'm gonna to make the future everyone hopes for a reality!; The Gathered Bangboo: En-nah!; Norma: And then...; Norma: Everyone can...; Norma: Come to terms with their regrets and hopes; Norma: Their memories and goodbyes; Norma: Goodbye; Norma: Victor; Victor: Ehn-na! (I'm really glad I got to meet you, Norma!)

Chat with Norma

The retirement party wrapped up perfectly, and everyone's headed toward tomorrow. Share the joy with everyone. Looks like Norma's prepared a surprise up her sleeve. Go check it out?

(Idle): Velina: Another goodbye, huh.

(Talk to Velina, optional)

Velina: Quite the party, huh?

You seem a bit down.

Velina: Hehe, me? The "Death Witch" shedding sentimental tears at Bangboo's final reunion—that would be quite perplexing... Just kidding.

You look very pleased.

Velina: Heh, me? At least for today, with my notes and Norma's partially completed chip, Victor can preserve many of his own memories. I'm happy about that.

Velina: Oh, why are you staring at me like that all of a sudden?

Velina: I knew it. You're definitely the type who can read people like a book. No wonder Norma spills all her little secrets every time she sees you.

Velina: ...Yeah, I really can't bear to part with Victor, or any of the Bangboo. I've watched them join the External Strategy Department, start their work, and witnessed all their joys and struggles...

Velina: And finally, I'm the one who reads their "death sentence," forcing them to wipe their memories and leave Roscaelifer.

Velina: The memories we shared are so vivid that my notes no longer hold just names, but moments in time that will never fade.

Velina: But like you said, memories aren't meant to chain us to the past. They give us the courage to say goodbye and the strength to step into what comes next.

Velina: Same goes for Bangboo, same goes for us.

Velina: Of course, I'm still looking forward to Norma finishing that flawless memory-filtering chip soon. After all, it would save me a lot of work.

She'll definitely make it happen.

I trust her!

Velina: Yes, of course.

Ultra Jake: Nhu-ehn? (Who else wants a photo?)

Brock: Eugn-nhu! Eugn-nhu! (I want it! I want it!)

Penn: Nhe-nhu! (You were behind me in line!)

Carter: Nhe-nha! (I wanna be in the photo too!)

Victor: Ehn-nhe, ehn-nhu! (Hold up, there's enough for everyone!)

(Talk to Jake, optional): Jake: Ehn-nhe, ehn na ne. (When I get back, I'll export a version of the photo without the Roscaelifer background, so you can take it with you.); Victor: Nhu nhe, nhe-nhe, na nhu ne. (Thanks, Jake... and thanks to everyone for preparing such a wonderful party for me, the engraved bottle caps, and the lovely necklace.); Joel: Nha-nhe, nhu na-nhe? (Don't mention it. So, what sort of background do you want for the photo?); Carter: Ehn nhe, ehn-nha nhu-na! (We should come up with even more wondrous place, something even more incredible than Roscaelifer!); Brock: Wuh-nhu nha wuh? Nhe-wuh! (What's about the bottom of the sea? I've never seen the ocean!); Victor: Ehn nhe! Ehn-nha-na, nhu nhe! (Sounds great! Maybe when I see this picture again after my data's been erased, I'll think we were once deep-sea adventurers!); Jake: Ehn nha ehn nhe! (Maybe Victor No. 2 in New Eridu really will become an ocean explorer because of this!); Victor: Nhe-nhu nhe en, nhu en! (That'd be pretty cool too, huh!); Carter: Nhe-nhu. (Of course.); Jake: Nhe-nhu ehn na, nhu ne. (All good, Victor.); Victor: Ehn-ne ehn-ne. (Everyone's doing alright too.)

(Idle): Shelby: The fireworks look amazing!; Grey: Told ya it'd go smooth!

(Talk to Shelby, optional)

Shelby: Grey, thanks for helping me out. I was really worried the little flyer wouldn't turn into fireworks.

Grey: Think it up, then make it happen—see? Easy as pie, right?

Shelby: Yeah!

Grey: Miss Norma said next time she's gonna take us to do something even wilder, way more thrilling than fireworks!

I'm telling Velina.

Grey: Then I'm telling Miss Norma! ...Never mind, your backup seems to keep me in check. But you're joking, right? You love surprises just as much as I do.

Can't wait to see that.

Grey: Sure thing! I can bring you along when the time comes!

Shelby: But... what if next time we can't top Miss Norma's surprise?

Grey: Then we'll do it the time after that~ Miss Norma says only cowards are afraid of failure. We're going to be her boldest students!

Shelby: C-Can we pull this off?

Grey: When have I ever lied to you?

Shelby: Alright! I trust you, Grey!

(Idle): (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍What a party!What a party!Text for Wise / What a lovely gathering.What a lovely gathering.Text for Belle‍); Eous: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne! (That's right! That's right!)

(Talk to your (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle), optional)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Wise, do you / Belle, you‍) think we'll ever run into Victor on Sixth Street?

Then we'll have to say hi.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Yeah! If that day ever comes, we can bring Norma along too! / Yeah, if that ever day comes, we can tell Norma too.‍)

Better not bother him.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Mm, I know you're worried this would disrupt Victor's peaceful life. (‍Yeah, you've got a point. / Your concern makes sense, Belle.‍)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍But Wise, since / But Belle, have you ever thought—if‍) the Bangboo from Roscaelifer will come to New Eridu after their data's wiped—

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Then could the Bangboo we know have lived different lives as well?

Secret Agent Give Change?

Stern Lord Bolion?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Uh... okay, it's hard to imagine. But I'm sure, Eous and the Bangboo at the video store have always been family to us. That has never changed, and it never will! / ...It is a little hard to imagine. But I know that Eous and the Bangboo at the video store have always been family to us. That has never changed, and it never will.‍)

Eous: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne-ne! (Of course, Belle and Wise will always be our family!)

(Idle): Norma: Time to come up [sic] a new Chip plan!

(Talk to Norma)

Special Event

Hear Me Out

Story Description: The retirement party is nearing its end. Norma thanks (‍Wise / Belle‍) for the help and gives Eous the chance to address all the Bangboo. Eous, excited, announces that members of the video store will be rewarded with rare bottle caps.

Norma: Honorary assistant, how's the party? We can start planning the next version of the chip!

That was quick.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Hm? / Oh?‍) You already have an upgrade plan for the memory-filtering chip?

Norma: Of course... not! But that doesn't stop me from booking the most reliable assistant in advance — which is you!

It's a great party.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): It was a great party. You know, from getting everyone to collect bottle caps to completing the first chip test, (‍you did very well. / you did amazing!‍) Of course, that also wouldn't have been possible without me, and (‍everyone else. / everyone else!‍)

Norma: Wow, not even a little modest, huh! But you are my most reliable assistant! I'll be counting on you again for the next test!

Norma: Victor, even though the chip wasn't perfect this time, I promise you, and everyone here, I'll finish it!

Victor: Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne. (We've always believed in you, Norma.)

Victor: Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (Whether it's the bottle caps you and everyone found or the first-stage chip that already exceeded expectations, they're both wonderful gifts, truly!)

Norma: It almost sounds like bottle caps are as important as the chip. Once you get to New Eridu, you'll find that bottle caps are everywhere, like grains of sand on the ground.

Victor: Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne. (Because this is the bottle cap necklace everyone gave me, and it's engraved with the names of every Bangboo friend.)

Victor: Ehn-nu, ehn-ne, ehn-ne nhu-ne. (Even if bottle caps are as worthless as grains of sand on the ground, to me, they are stars in the sky.)

Norma: Stars?

Victor: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne! (Stars! When I look up at the sky in New Eridu, I can feel an everlasting light shining from the heavens!)

Norma: ...Because stars shine on their own, and of course, bottle caps do too!

Victor: Ehn-ne! Ehn-nu, ehn-ne. (Yes. Well then, it's time to say goodbye.)

Norma: ...I already said that a moment ago.

Victor: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne. (Yes, I know.)

Good luck, Victor.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Wishing you all the best, Victor. / I hope everything goes well, Victor!‍)

Victor: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne. Ehn-ne, ehn-nu-ne. (Thank you, Norma's best assistant. By the way, I heard Norma prepared a surprise for you.)

Norma: Yes! I've prepared a super, super special surprise!

What did you prepare, Norma?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Huh? What have you prepared? Now I'm curious. / What have you prepared? I can't wait!‍)

Norma: It's a brand-new invention I built overnight!

A surprise... or a scare?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Knowing you, I (‍really can't / can't really‍) tell whether this will be a surprise or a (‍scare... / scare.‍)

Norma: A scare? That's going too far — I'm not trying to scare you!

Norma: This time, the honorary assistant helped many Bangboo, and everyone is very grateful! So, as a genius, I quickly put together an invention, a microphone that can reach all Bangboo across Booastrum!

Norma: As long as they are Bangboo, they'll all be able to hear your voice! Think carefully about what you want to say! After all, you only get one chance!

Having only one chance makes it a tough call.

Just one? No second-one-half-off deal?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Uh... I can't think of what to say in such a short time. Why is there only one chance? Isn't there something like a "second try at half price" deal? / Uh... But I can't think of what to say in such a short time. And why is there only one chance? Isn't there something like a "second chance at half price" offer?‍)

Norma: There was, originally. But Veli said that a full-range broadcast to all Bangboo could easily go wrong, so we're only allowed to be as willful as we like... once!

Velina: Oh dear, I'm really sorry~

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Wise, / Belle,‍) this is a very rare opportunity to speak to all Bangboo in the City of Bangboo, so you should think real hard about what to say.

How about you do it instead?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Uh...‍)This is so sudden... I'm not sure what I'd even say. (‍Belle, / Wise,‍) do you want to give it a try?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): If you can't think of anything and neither can (‍I... how about we leave it to Eous? / I. How about we leave it to Eous?‍)

Then how about letting Eous do it?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Why not give this opportunity to Eous? / Why don't we give this opportunity to Eous?‍) After all, who understands Bangboo better than a Bangboo?

Eous: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne? (Me? What... what am I supposed to say?)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Just say whatever comes to your mind! Don't be nervous. / Just say the first thing that comes to mind.‍) Go for it, Eous!

Norma blinks expectantly and quickly hands the microphone over to the flustered Eous.

Norma: You can start now~

Eous: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne... (H—hello everyone, my name is Eous, I'm the Bangboo from the video store! I want to say...)

As if sensing your expectations, Eous seems to have an idea. He steels himself, and his eyes sharpen with clarity.

Eous: Ehn-nu, ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne! (I announce that anyone who signs up for our video store membership will receive brand-new, rare bottle caps!)

Eous: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ehn-ne! (Sign up and they're yours! We're going to make the video store great again!)

Waves of Bangboo cheers — much to the confusion of nearby humans — ring out across Booastrum as the retirement party draws to a celebratory close.

Ask the Bangboo

The Bangboo seem to have prepared a gift. Ask them about it!

Booastrum District

(Idle): Ultra Jake: Nhe-nhu, ehn na! (Manager, get over here!); Victor: Nha-en! (We've got a gift for you!)

(Talk to Jake)

Jake: ...Ehn-nhu, ehn nhe na. (...Back then, everyone left the lab because of a misunderstanding. Thankfully, the Manager helped out with repairing the Central Computing Hub.)

Victor: Nhe-nhu, ehn na, na-ehn ne. (You fixed the faulty code for the Bangboo and helped Norma clear up the misunderstanding. We've got a gift for you.)

The Bangboo carries the headpiece everyone made together and sets it aside.

Brock: Wuh-nhu, wuh-nhe! Wuh-ne! (Just put this on, and you'll look exactly like everyone else! Manager, you're one of the Bangboo now!)

How is this anything like a Bangboo?

Jake: Ehn-nah ehn-nah! Ehn-nah-nah, ehn-nah-nah! (You've gotta trust our eyes! Up close, it looks like a Bangboo. From far away... a Bangboo looks like it!)

Ehn-ne, ehn-ne ehn-ne.

Jake: En-nah en-nah! En-nah-nah! (Awesome, Manager! You're totally fluent in Bangboo-speak now!)

Victor: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne. (And this bottle cap is something we specially prepared for you, Manager! Please accept it too.)

A unique bottle cap lands in your palm, glinting brightly.

(Obtain Special Bangboo Bottle Cap)

Jake: En-nah en-nah, en-nah, en-nah-nah. (With the Bangboo headpiece on and this bottle cap in hand, Manager, you'll be able to venture into even more mysterious places.)

Victor: En-nhe, en-nhe-nhe! (Yeah, because they mean you've been accepted as family by the Bangboo!)

Thank you, everyone.

I'll treasure them.

Under the grateful and joyful gazes of the Bangboo, you gently tuck away their special gift, as if etching this warm moment into your memories.

Then, just like before and just like what's to come, you'll pack your bags full of blessings and head toward that unknown, wide-open tomorrow.

—After the retirement party, you slept soundly. In that half-dreaming, half-awake state, you heard a chorus of lively "Ehn-ne."

Head out and see what's going down outside

Sounds like something's going down outside. Check out the video stall.

Booastrum District

(Ongoing): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Did something happen outside?

(Approach Roarin' Brekkies)

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

(A cinematic plays, where Norma, Eous and the player's sibling are in a stupor from having to drink so much to fulfill Eous's promise that new signups to the video store would recieve rare bottle caps): Norma: I... I can't drink anymore.; (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): For the caps!; Eous: En? En... nah... (Huh? Caps...)
