GULGALLANA.
It's not long before you're all feeling the tug to go into your rooms: tiny houses carved into the stone of the island adorned in banners of your team colors. But once inside the doors don't close. If you wish to test it you can even enter and exit the house as much as you want.
The room itself isn't the important part. For the most part, it's barren outside of a low-sitting table and a couple of pillows. On top of that able, however, is a handmade poster. There's nothing on it yet.

A QUESTION.
[ It's the girl's voice again, somehow even more timid now than it was ten minutes ago. ] I... have a question...! Or... maybe a request...? Ah! What do I do if they say no... I want to help! A lot!
But to do that, something really important needs to come out! It won't hurt you! I can promise. And... it'll be a good thing! I hope? But! You should know! It might makes things hard, too! And you'll have to decide what it is! Because... Because! You'll see!
You don't have to say yes! But if you do, I'll take care of you!
Ah! Um.
So, would you do it? Will you? Even if it might cause a little trouble?
...I'm not very good at this...

Hngh. But Mana...!]I'm... p-pretty trustful of most Echoes, so... I'll try it. B-But I should warn you that you'll probably get a lot of r... resistance from others...
Re: DISCUSSION.
Re: DISCUSSION.
Just, uhm... letting you know. That's all. I don't... think having to go through d... difficult things is all bad. S-So... [ small breath ] You can... do what you need to do?
Re: DISCUSSION.
[You might feel a little funny for just one second, but the second passes and you're still you. Now you just... have a little friend, of whatever you want!, accompanying you. Y-yay...?]
Re: DISCUSSION.
[ Oh, that. That... did not hurt! Okay. Phew. Time to relax and... ]
... Ah.
[ It's... ] There's a turtle. [ Not a large turtle, but... Yep. Turtle. But no ordinary turtle, no! It's... ] Made of... wood?
[ Well, plants, to be precise. Knots of wood and vine all put together, with a shell marked by buds and a single large, white flower in the center. ]
Well, it's. Relevant! That's... for sure.
DECISION.
TEAM TURN-IN.
What do you think is your strength as a team?:
What do you want to thank your teammates of the past for?:
The last one must be answered as a team, if at all:
What would you like to leave behind for the teammates who come after you?
Of course! None of these have to be answered if you don't want to.]
DISCUSSION.
DECISION.
Re: DECISION.
I think our strength as a team is... the fact that we all feel like we're family. We care about each other and want to protect one another, but we're also able to... be ourselves. Individuals, separate from one another. So even though we don't always agree, it doesn't... I feel like it doesn't affect us as badly as if we thought of ourselves as just "a team?"
It's... hard to explain. But I definitely think that's it!
For the other one... Uhm... I don't... really know a lot of our past teammates. To the ones I do know, I... want to say that it was good to get to know them while they were here, and... I hope that, someday, they'll come back and get their worlds back. And the best of luck if... or when... they do.
To the ones I didn't know... I guess I want to just say... "Thank you." Because without them, the team I came to wouldn't... be how they are, I think. So just... "Thank you for giving it your best."
