Talk to Yuzuha

Yuzuha seems to be standing at the entrance of Yum Cha Sin looking troubled. Go ask her what's wrong!

Failume Heights

(Idle): Ukinami Yuzuha: How about...

(Talk to Yuzuha): Ukinami Yuzuha: Oh, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)! I was just about to look for you, and here you are! Lucky me!; What's up?; Did you need something?; Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm... it's not really a big deal, but it's like having a tiny pebble in your shoe while walking - just impossible to ignore...; You seem different from usual.; You seem a bit down...; Ukinami Yuzuha: I can't hide anything from you, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)... I noticed before that you're a really observant person, always able to easily pick up on what others are feeling.; Ukinami Yuzuha: Maybe it's because of this impression you gave me... whenever I'm troubled and need someone to talk things through with, you are the first person who comes to mind.; You're making me blush...; What's on your mind?; Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm... what do you think about Alice?; A very serious person.; A bit of a stubborn one.; A scaredy-cat.; Ukinami Yuzuha: Heh, that's definitely one of Alice's quirks. But if you ask me, she's an incredible person.; Ukinami Yuzuha: Alice always seems to be on the path toward her goals. Seeing how firmly she chases her dreams, sometimes I can't help but envy that kind of clarity and conviction.; Ukinami Yuzuha: But it seems like I've never had what people call a "dream"... Or rather, I guess I never realized I could even think about that kind of thing.; Ukinami Yuzuha: I always call her a scaredy-cat, but maybe I'm the real scaredy-cat here, too scared to even imagine the future...; How about...; We go look for it?; Ukinami Yuzuha: Look for it? You mean not just imagining it, but actually taking action...? As expected of you, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), pointing out my blind spot right away. Acting instead of overthinking really does seem like the better way.; Ukinami Yuzuha: Still, we need to figure out where to start...

The following is recorded in the Partner Archive

"Like Ukinami and Yuzuha"

Story Description: Could the seemingly carefree Yuzuha also harbor inner doubts? And would the "future goal" you're seeking together with her ultimately bring her fulfilment?

Ukinami Yuzuha: How do people figure out their dreams, anyway?
I've honestly never thought about it. I'm totally clueless.

How about starting with what you're into?

Got any hobbies you can riff off of?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Why don't we start with your hobbies? I mean, usually people's dreams are connected to stuff they like to do, right?

Ukinami Yuzuha: Hobbies? Duh! Ghost stories are my absolute favorite, obviously.

Ukinami Yuzuha: But, ghost stories are usually just a hobby, right? You hardly ever see anyone actually making bank off them...

A ghost story writer?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Hm...‍) What about a ghost story writer? You're like a walking encyclopedia of creepy tales. If we slapped them all into a book, (‍I bet‍) it'd get quite a bit of attention!

Ukinami Yuzuha: A ghost story writer? Nah, I'm not really into writing... Plus, getting the right mix of scary and original takes way more patience than I've got. Let's just say I'm better at being impatient~

A folklorist?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Hm...‍) What about a folklorist? I heard some of them specialize (‍studying‍) in ghost stories.

Ukinami Yuzuha: A folklorist? Hmm... True, folklorists do give off that spooky tales-and-urban-legends vibe. But... I don't think I wanna be stuck doing theoretical research forever. That sounds more up Alice's alley...

(Both choices lead to the following)

What else besides ghost stories?

Anything else you're secretly amazing at?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Besides ghost stories, what other hobbies do you have? You know, something you're good at? Like... keeping things lively? Does that count?

Ukinami Yuzuha: Uh-huh~ I know what you're thinking. You mean pranking people, right? Haha, you're so sweet. You wouldn't even say it straight out~

Ukinami Yuzuha: But, seriously, can pranks really be something "worth dedicating your whole life to pursuing"?

You mean, like a magician?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): A magician kinda fits, right? (‍Using clever tricks to surprise people. Sounds like a job for you~ / Using clever tricks to totally mess with people's minds. That's your jam~‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: A magician? In a way, they do make a living off pranks, don't they? I mean, what's a better prank than pulling doves out of a handkerchief and vanishing into thin air right in front of everyone?

Ukinami Yuzuha: But magicians usually come from super fancy families and start training very young... At my age, I don't think becoming a magician is really, in the cards~

Like a circus performer?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Circus performers seem to fit the bill, right? / A circus performer seems to fit the bill, right?‍) Bringing joy to everyone through goofy entertainment. (‍That reminds me of you. / Totally your thing~‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Circus? Hmm... you know, I've always had a lot of respect for performers who put on clown makeup. Hiding their own face, just trying to spread joy... It feels kinda sad sometimes, thinking about that dedication...

Ukinami Yuzuha: And putting face paint on all the time can't be good for your skin. Besides, it'd be such a waste to cover up this cute face of mine, don't you think?

Ukinami Yuzuha: Even though the path seems a bit different from the future I had in mind, and it's not exactly what Alice would call "a dream"... I'm just happy you think I'm cool enough to do this.

How about stuff you wanna try?

What's something you're interested in but you've never actually done?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Is there anything you haven't done yet but (‍would like to try out? / are dying to try?‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Something I wanna try but never did? Hmm, let me think... Something like... being a truck driver?

Why a truck?

Why a driver?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): A t—truck driver? Why would you (‍have such a random idea? / even come up with something so random?‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm... I've watched a bunch of movies and enjoy a lot of genres, but road movies are my absolute favorite. ...They have this vibe that's both the saddest and the freest.

Ukinami Yuzuha: And what's a road movie without a truck driver? A woman with a story that's totally different from how she looks, driving alone on the highway, all to protect something more precious than life itself...

Ukinami Yuzuha: That sounds super cool! It'd be pretty awesome if I could become someone like that.

That sounds kinda familiar.

I feel like I know someone who's just like that...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍The truck driver you mentioned kinda reminds me of someone I know, just, without all the stories... / The truck driver thing kinda reminds me of someone I know, just, without all the drama...‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Whoa! You know someone that cool? C'mon, introduce me already!

Ukinami Yuzuha: I feel like if I actually meet her, I might get some inspiration for my "future".

After Yuzuha keeps hounding you, You go with her to the Outer Ring.
The wind there has a hot, dusty smell, and she says she can smell "freedom" in it.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Y—You're Piper? You look different from what I was expecting. I'm Yuzuha, nice to meet you~

Piper: So you're Yuzuha? What an adorable lil' girl! Oh, Proxy, you've brought another new compadre. Seeing such a youngin' makes the youthful spirit in this old soul burn bright again.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Youngin'? (‍Wise / Belle‍), don't tell me Piper looks small, but she's actually... ancient?

Actually, I'm not sure...

She's totally legit.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Okay, so... Piper's age is a total enigma, but she's (‍super‍) reliable. (‍You can definitely count on her. / You can totally count on her, for real.‍)

Piper: Let's skip the small talk, Yuzuha. Heard you wanna play trucker. Hop on in.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Ohh, I get it! It's like that movie quote...
"Truck drivers face the world with their bodies, not their minds."

Amid Yuzuha's excited cry, Piper hits the gas and sends Steeltusk roaring onto the highway.
The bouncing seats, swirling dust, and wild speed. Though the wind makes it hard for Yuzuha to keep her eyes open, she laughs with pure joy.
Even after she gets out of the truck and says goodbye to Piper, who has to leave for some business, that rush of excitement still lingers within her.

Ukinami Yuzuha: So this is what life's really like for truck drivers...

But this seems to be a special case...

Got the inspiration you need?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍So,‍) Piper might not be your typical trucker, but she's definitely living her best life... So, Yuzuha, any inspiration hitting you yet?

Ukinami Yuzuha: Yessss, (‍Wise / Belle‍), I'm so happy! Thank you! You helped me find my heart again.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Being here isn't much different from being there. As long as you're free on the inside, the whole world feels free...

Ukinami Yuzuha: I was, like, trying to be all inspired by Alice, with her super-focused life and everything. That's just not Ukinami Yuzuha, you know?

Ukinami Yuzuha: (‍Wise / Belle‍), I realized I don't want to be Alice at all!

Ukinami Yuzuha: A girl pure like crystal is admirable because she's all clear and steady. But I'm no crystal. I'm more like a pomelo leaf, just floating around on the waves, always changing, but free to go wherever.

You've got your own life to live.

Just be you, Yuzuha. That's it.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You've got your own life, totally different from Alice's. And even though Alice's dreams might be shiny and all, I think your free-spirited way (‍of living is awesome. / is just as awesome.‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Yeah. Even if I don't have Alice's "dreams" or a "future" all figured out. And I'm just full of "what ifs"... so that just means my possibilities are endless...

Ukinami Yuzuha: I'm just me... Ukinami Yuzuha. True to my name, I drift freely across this sea of a world.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Sure, I'll face some danger or pain; there will always be encounters, always be surprises.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Maybe someday I'll find that direction everyone's always talking about, but for now... I'm not gonna stress about it.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Just living my best life as "me," right now in this very moment, that's the life Ukinami Yuzuha has chosen.

If this is the life you're choosing...

I hope all your dreams come true.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): If this is the path you've chosen, then I truly hope your wishes come true—and that you never lose the joy you're feeling right now.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Haha~ I'm a girl with S-Rank luck after all! I'll make a wish for you and everyone!

Ukinami Yuzuha: But... could we keep what happened today as a secret between you and me? It feels like you saw a rare moment of doubt in me... so please, treasure this memory, and don't forget it, okay?

Ukinami Yuzuha: If you forget, I'll transform into the Prank Witch and turn everything you've ever loved into pomelo leaves!

(Idle): Ukinami Yuzuha: Keep it a secret for me, okay?~

(Talk to Yuzuha again, optional): Ukinami Yuzuha: Thank you... for helping me find my heart again.; Ukinami Yuzuha: This is our little secret. So make sure you keep it between us, okay?~
