[ There is a twitch of a smile at the corner of his lips. ]

Are you sure?

[Muffled snerk.]

Say that again, Tesla...?

[GIVING YOU BOTH THE FINGER

THERE'S YOUR ANSWER]

No, really. We're just concerned about you.

[BLUFF IS NOT A CLASS SKILL HE'S JUST TRYING NOT TO LAUGH

GOMEN TESLA]

The two of you can just fuck right off.

[at least he's a decent singer??]

[ Insert applaud here. ]

You should consider a career in this.

[Laughing.]

He's right, you actually sound pretty good, Tesla!

[guess what, he's shoving both of you towards the mic.

Join him in his suffering]

Don't you guys have a job to do?

[even the stoner is squinting at you]

[ NO, NEVER. He won't join you!! ]

Yeah, Tesla. Quit screwing around. We need to get going here.

[Rolling his eyes and laughing.]

He's right, we need to get moving. I'm sure it'll wear off soon, Tesla.

[He's heading towards the door.]

[It's locked. Luckily, you still have a helper.]

Check the rest of the stage.

[HUFFING]

Yeah, check the rest of the stage, you jackasses.

[ Still grinning like mad. ]

I wonder if we're being set up for an entire rock band.

[Well, if that's the case, he'll check over the stage once more. He must've missed something-]

[You see several bottles. Examine them?]

[ Yeah, of course. Let's check those out. ]

[All of the pill bottles are full, but the bottles themselves are damaged. As you examine one of them, you receive a memory. It comes with a feeling of self loathing - you should never have been pathetic enough to resort to this kind of thing. You’ve ruined so many things for yourself; even now, every time you get stressed you find yourself wishing to return to this. Wouldn’t it be so much easier than having to feel so much all the time? The question is always lurking at the back of your mind.

Once it ends, you now see something glinting inside one of the bottles alongside the pills.]

[Going after the thing casting a glinting light.]

[You find an opal. Touching it makes you feel strong. You know that you aren’t alone, and that you’re growing and changing. Even if you’ve made mistakes in the past, there are people here who will always be there for you no matter what.

Names and images pass through your mind. Nightingale. Silver. Citrine. Aoko. Ed. Tesla. Kaito. Vash. Sabre. Holly, Obsidian, Clover, Lark, Star… You recall everyone who’s ever been close to you or supported you even when you didn’t yet deserve it. You’re going to be a better person because you owe it to them. Their friendship and love has made you the person who you are.

You feel as though you should keep this stone close to you as you go on.]

[ Looking over at Knight. ]

Is that the thing we need?

...Yeah.

[He smiles a bit. There's a lot of good people there.]

Yeah, it is.

C'mon then, let's keep moving.

[In you go.]
