[CONTINUE + 2] INTRO

[foundationmods]

[After so long a trip, you're all finally here. Taken through a hidden passage inside of the very mountain itself, you find yourself standing in front of a field of flowers, growing well due to the open roof above it. If you look up, you can just make out the shimmering colors off of the barrier - looking almost like the shine off of a soap bubble.

Try not to trample on the flowers as you approach the open, purple gate, where it looks as if someone is waiting for all of you just inside. And remember to wear your masks, now that you're here!

...Still, the sight of the yellow flowers waving in the wind....such a cheery sight fills you with determination for what's to come.

Welcome to the Underground.

...Again. The loop happened again, and you're here. Everything is the same.

Someone who was dead is alive again.

...The man, who's name you forgot...You've also forgotten what he looked like.

Not only that, But more monster names have faded from your memory.

Ghost? There was never a ghost in these ruins, or in Waterfall. You have no memory of them.]

It's... more like a competition with 'myself'?

And also I'm trying to prove a point to someone.

[justonezero]

Oh.

Who is it?

[dereban]

Dazai.

[justonezero]

Eh? Really?

[dereban]

Is it really that surprising?

[justonezero]

If you're the only one doing it, it's less surprising! But why do it in the first place?

[dereban]

Like I said - I want to prove a point.

And... more than that, I've wanted to change 'myself' for a while now. Sure, this might not work out for me entirely, but that's fine. Stumbling is a part of life. I guess I just want to know what it's like... to be that kind of person.

More importantly, I want to face things head-on.

[She laughs, a little self-deprecating.]

Sorry - it's a little cheesy, isn't it?

[justonezero]

It's probably a good time to get a little cheesy.

[Considering just....... everything.]

[dereban]

I... suppose that's true? It's just a little embarrassing, though.

[justonezero]

You should tap into your inner shounen protagonist powers! Stay determined! Stuff like that!

[dereban]

But I'm not a shounen protagonist, I'm a seinen protagonist. The idiot who's a shounen protagonist that I'm dating isn't even here.

[justonezero]

I'm not either, but you can pretend!

[dereban]

I'm not going to pretend that hard. It'd be too weird.

[justonezero]

It's hard to go that far against your normal personality, huh?

[dereban]

Even I have limits. I'm not the type of person who'll... well - jump in the face of danger if I don't have to. I only do things if I have thought it through a little bit.

[justonezero]

So you're more like the person who keeps our hot-headed people on a leash.

[dereban]

Always have been, Yoshi.

[justonezero]

Don't shoot!

[dereban]

. . .

[Just does a gesture of putting her finger guns away.]

Damn.

[justonezero]

Phew, safe for another day!
