 * Avatar: Is that...singing? But where is it coming from? There's nobody around.
 * Shigure: You are the ocean's gray waves ♪ Destined to seek life beyond the shore...
 * Avatar: Oh! Up in the sky! Is that Shigure?!
 * Shigure: Huh?! Is that...Avatar?! How long have you been down there?
 * Avatar: Oh, not long! Out for a little flight with your pegasus? You're a very good singer!
 * Shigure: You heard me singing? Oh no.
 * Avatar: Hm? I'm sorry, was I interrupting something? I didn't mean to intrude.
 * Shigure: No, no, you haven't done anything wrong. I'm just a bit shy about my singing.
 * Avatar: Oh, thank goodness. So what are you doing out here all alone? Have you been getting in some extra training?
 * Shigure: Although I am ashamed to say it, no, I am not out here to train.
 * Avatar: Oh?
 * Shigure: Yes, I was just singing and flying. It's what I've always done to relax, ever since I was a child. It never fails to lift my spirits when I am feeling sad or anxious.
 * Avatar: That sounds wonderful!
 * Shigure: Perhaps you would like to come with me sometime?
 * Avatar: Huh?
 * Shigure: Would you like to come ride with me sometime? I could sing for you. It's a little embarrassing to sing in front of others, but you seem to like it when I do.
 * Avatar: Of course! I would love to go with you.
 * Shigure: Perfect. I'll be looking forward to it.

 * Shigure: It's so beautiful out today. Perfect flying weather. Are you sure the wind isn't too cold for you?
 * Avatar: Yep! No need to worry about me. I Think it's amazing up here!
 * Shigure: *chuckle* You sure seem to be enjoying yourself for something as mundane as a pegasus ride.
 * Avatar: Do I really sound so giddy? I guess growing up I never got to fly like this much. I was really looking forward to getting up into the skies for once.
 * Shigure: Then I'll do everything I can to make sure it meets your expectations. Oh! You see those birds over there? Why don't we join them?
 * Avatar: Wow! There are so many of them! And they all seem to move as one creature!
 * Shigure: I think my pegasus is enjoying himself as well. He loves birds. Would you like to hear me sing?
 * Avatar: Oh, yes, please!
 * Shigure: You are the ocean's gray waves ♪ Destined to seek life beyond the shore...
 * Avatar: Oh! It seems even the birds are enjoying your song, Shigure!
 * Shigure: Yet the waters ever change ♪ Flowing like time, the path is yours...
 * Avatar: You really do have a wonderful voice. Your mother truly passed on her gift to you. Heehee... This has been a wonderful trip through the sky. Thank you, Shigure.
 * Shigure: Heh. Would you say it was worth the wait?
 * Avatar: Of course!
 * Shigure: I'm glad. I think my mother is the only other person who enjoys this so much.
 * Avatar: Azura?
 * Shigure: Yes. I've never seen her so happy as when she was flying with me. We sang a duet! Ah! This reminds me. Would you care to accompany me again sometime? There's something I'd like to show you!
 * Avatar: I'd love to!

 * Avatar: So where are we headed today, Shigure? We're already pretty deep in the forest.
 * Shigure: It's a surprise, but I'll give you a hint. You need a pegasus to get there. Oh! Nearly there.
 * Avatar: Is that a waterfall?
 * Shigure: Yes. There's an alcove just about halfway up it. I'll touch us down there.
 * Avatar: Oh, that little recess? I see what you mean about needing a pegasus. This is amazing! I've never seen a waterfall from this close before! It's so...soothing.
 * Shigure: That's not all. Look, over here.
 * Avatar: A rainbow?
 * Shigure: Mhm. If you stand here at the right time of day, one usually appears. There are times it won't, but it seems luck is on our side today.
 * Avatar: It's beautiful!
 * Shigure: I'm happy I was able to share this with you. I've been meaning to show someone for a long time.
 * Avatar: I only wish the others could see it. It's truly a remarkable sight.
 * Shigure: That would be nice. But not many people can fit at a time. It could take a while.
 * Avatar: I see your point... Shigure...would you sing for me here?
 * Shigure: Hm? Oh, of course! *ahem* You are the ocean's gray waves ♪ Destined to seek life beyond the shore...
 * Avatar: Thank you... Thank you so much.

 * Avatar: Oh, Shigure, the rainbow looks even more beautiful today. It really is best to come on the sunniest days.
 * Shigure: Yes... ... ...Avatar, can we talk?
 * Avatar: Hm? What's wrong, Shigure? You look so serious.
 * Shigure: It's...it's about...the rainbow.
 * Avatar: Oh. That doesn't sound so bad. What about it?
 * Shigure: It's just...you said we should take everyone to see it here. But...I disagree. Because...I want this to be a special place for just the two of us.
 * Avatar: A...special place? What do you mean?
 * Shigure: I want this to be somewhere that only the two of us know about. Somewhere we can go to be alone... Our own little secret. And I hope we can travel someday, and find many more little places just like it.
 * Avatar: I don't understand. What-
 * Shigure: Avatar, please...just listen to me. I...I love you.
 * Avatar: Shigure!
 * Shigure: Of course, our friends are important to me as well. But this place was like my first present to you. I don't want to share it. I know it's selfish of me. But I can't help it. So...now you know. Will you be with me, Lady Avatar?
 * Avatar: Shigure...of course I will. I love you too! Heehee. You chose a nice spot to confess your feelings to me, though. Quite the romantic, aren't you?
 * Shigure: Haha. I'm sorry, was it a bit cliché? You just seemed to love this place so much...
 * Avatar: I do. It's magical. But I have to say you're wrong about one thing. This wasn't your first gift to me. Your first and most precious gift to me was your song.
 * Shigure: Avatar... I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to hear you say that. Would you like me to sing it for you again?
 * Avatar: Please! Would you?
 * Shigure: Of all the songs I know, none of them can capture how deeply I love you. No sound is sweeter than your voice.

 * Shigure: How are you today, Mother?
 * Azura: Oh, I'm fine. What can I do for you, dear?
 * Shigure: I've been thinking about my childhood a great deal lately... And the times you would visit me during your trips to my Deeprealm.
 * Azura: I'm so sorry, Shigure... I wish I had been around more often when you were growing up.
 * Shigure: N-no, I wasn't trying to make you feel bad about that. Do you remember when we used to sing together?
 * Azura: Certainly. We used to sit side by side and come up with songs for hours and hours.
 * Shigure: Yes, we did...
 * Azura: Say... Remember that song we used to sing? It's been so long... Would you like to sing it with me again?
 * Shigure: Oh... You mean right now?
 * Azura: Yes, if you feel like it.
 * Shigure: That sounds wonderful, Mother!
 * Azura: Ok! Do you recall the lyrics?
 * Shigure: Of course. How could I forget?
 * Azura: All right, let's give it a shot then. One, two, three... You are the ocean's gray waves ♪
 * Shigure: Destined to seek life beyond the shore ♪ ...Huh?
 * Azura: Shigure? Is something wrong?
 * Shigure: It's strange... I can't seem to hit the right notes. I used to be able to sing this song perfectly. I remember the lyrics and the melody. How can this be?
 * Azura: That's a part of growing up. Your voice has changed. We used to sing the same... But now that your voice is lower, it isn't possible for you to hit those notes.
 * Shigure: O-oh... That makes sense. Hmm... I guess there's nothing I can really do. It's a little bit bittersweet.
 * Azura: I think I have an idea. I need a bit of time to figure this out. Do you mind?
 * Shigure: No, of course not. What are you going to do?
 * Azura: You just have to trust me. I think it will make you happy.
 * Shigure: A-all right, if you say so...

 * Azura: Shigure, there you are. I've been searching high and low for you.
 * Shigure: Hello, Mother. Did you run here? You're out of breath. Is everything all right?
 * Azura: I wanted to give you something.
 * Shigure: Is this sheet music? It's our old song. The one I couldn't sing the other day.
 * Azura: That's right.
 * Shigure: Mother, why did you make this? Now that my voice is different, there's no point in trying to sin— WHAT?!
 * Azura: You just noticed it? Heehee... I added a new harmony line to the main melody.
 * Shigure: You also pitched down the melody. It's much lower than before. You rewrote this to fall within my range!
 * Azura: That was the idea. Would you be willing to try singing with me for a bit?
 * Shigure: Sure! *hum*...*hum*... Wow, this makes the melody even better. You are the ocean's gray waves ♪
 * Azura: It's wonderful to hear you practicing again. I'm glad that you're enthusiastic. Your voice may be different, but it's still quite beautiful. Keep at it, and you will continue to improve in no time.
 * Shigure: Destined to seek life beyond the shore ♪ Thank you, Mother! I'm already looking forward to singing more later!
 * Azura: Me too!

 * Shigure: Whew, that was great.
 * Azura: We made it to the end of the song. I never imagined that we would be able to make music together again.
 * Shigure: I know what you mean. I honestly think our singing sounds better now than when I was younger.
 * Azura: You've really matured into quite an impressive young man. At this rate, your singing skills will eclipse mine in no time.
 * Shigure: That's impossible. We may be singing the same song... But the way you sing has a mysterious power that I don't possess.
 * Azura: Mysterious power? What do you mean?
 * Shigure: Your voice has the power to rally allies and stop enemies in their tracks... I could never sing like that.
 * Azura: Shigure, I don't know about that...
 * Shigure: Ever since I returned, I've had the same persistent thought. I may be your child, but my songs don't have a fraction of the power that yours do. If only I could be more like you...
 * Azura: Shigure... I know you can sing like me.
 * Shigure: What? How is that possible?
 * Azura: My songs may be powerful... But that's only because of the pendant that my mother gave me long ago.
 * Shigure: So the pendant is the true source of your strength?
 * Azura: Indeed. If you were to wear it, perhaps it would have the very same effect. Maybe it would be even more effective.
 * Shigure: Do you think I could give it a try?
 * Azura: No, I'm afraid not, dear. Overuse of this power can destroy your body over time.
 * Shigure: Destroy?! What do you mean? Wait... Can it lead to your death?!
 * Azura: Well...
 * Shigure: You've worn that pendant for so long. Why don't you stop? Let me take on that responsibility for you! I can't stand to think of you suffering.
 * Azura: You are my beloved son, Shigure. I would never dream of saddling you with this burden. I would never give you this pendant. Not now, or ever.
 * Shigure: Oh, I see...
 * Azura: I'm terribly sorry, Son. I never planned to speak of this with you. But know that your songs do have power. They have the ability to ease pain and grant peace of mind to anyone in earshot. Sing with pride, Shigure. One day, when this war ends... I plan on throwing this pendant into a lake. It should sink to a place where no one will ever possibly find or use it again. If I should disappear for some reason... Please, get rid of it for me, Shigure.
 * Shigure: What?!
 * Azura: You're the only one that I could ever entrust with this important task.
 * Shigure: Hmm... Very well. You can count on me.
 * Azura: Thank you so much, dear.
 * Shigure: I hope it never comes to that. I hate to think of you leaving me here... If you do, my curiosity could get the better of me. I might want to use that pendant...
 * Azura: Just know that I'll haunt you for the rest of your days if you do.
 * Shigure: Heehee. I was kidding! I promise, I won't ever harness its power. After all you've done to protect me, I could never betray you.
 * Azura: I hate to place such a cruel burden on your shoulders. But you are the only one I can trust.
 * Shigure: It's fine. People don't ask me for help all that often. I'm pleased that you would trust me with such an important task. Would you mind if I asked you for a favor too?
 * Azura: Certainly. What is it?
 * Shigure: Could we sing our song again sometime? When you aren't wearing the pendant, of course.
 * Azura: I swear we will again, someday...
 * Shigure: Thank you. I'm looking forward to it, Mother.

 * Jakob: Ah... Shigure. You're painting again?
 * Shigure: Hello, Father. I didn't hear you come in. I'm sorry. I know this is no time for artwork. We are at war, after all.
 * Jakob: It may rouse your comrades' ire, Son. I'm tempted to forbid your painting entirely. But the truth is, you're quite gifted. There's no use in denying it.
 * Shigure: That's very kind of you to say.
 * Jakob: Where is your ambition? Don't you want more than to let these pictures gather dust? In different times, perhaps you could have become a world-famous artist. This easily contented nature of yours really irritates me. I'm afraid that you've left me no choice but to be your producer.
 * Shigure: Father, what do you mean?
 * Jakob: Quiet... I know just what to do... We will hold a solo art exhibition for you!
 * Shigure: A-an exhibition? No, I could never do such a thing. With our troops already on the advance, the timing would never work. The setup alone would be a massive hassle.
 * Jakob: I'm not suggesting we build a museum. We can simply reserve a tent and ask our friends and some villagers to come.
 * Shigure: It seems just vain to reserve a whole tent entirely for personal use.
 * Jakob: This talent isn't yours alone to relish. You must share this gift with the world.
 * Shigure: I don't know...
 * Jakob: You don't understand... Art has the power to give peace of mind--- to heal our very souls. If you're unwilling, I certainly won't force your hand.
 * Shigure: Well... I suppose I could give it a shot. This whole idea makes me a little anxious. But maybe it could be fun...
 * Jakob: Then it's decided. I'll begin the preparations immediately. We shall speak soon, Shigure.
 * Shigure: OK, Father.

 * Shigure: Hello, Father...
 * Jakob: Hm? Did you need something, Shigure? I'm rather busy.
 * Shigure: Umm, well... You've done so much work to make this exhibition possible... I just wanted to thank you.
 * Jakob: Son, I simply thought of the idea. There's no need to thank me. Besides, why do you think so many people agreed to help with the show? It's because of your extraordinary talent. They can't wait to see the paintings. Really, I haven't done anything special. You're the artist.
 * Shigure: O-oh, I see...
 * Jakob: Hahaha. Shigure. You're shaking like a leaf. Are you feeling nervous about the show?
 * Shigure: Well yes, of course. But mostly I'm worried about my newest painting. It just isn't coming together like I hoped it would.
 * Jakob: Oh? Is this the one you're making especially for the show? Time is running short. I've already made the bulk of the arrangements. I think you may need to hold off on completing that painting.
 * Shigure: No, that's not an option. I have to finish it. Everyone has devoted so much energy to the show. This piece ties all the others together. I have to keep working.
 * Jakob: Hmph. Well, it is your exhibition. Do as you wish. But please, don't push yourself to the brink. This will all be for nothing if you make yourself ill.
 * Shigure: I understand. Thank you, Father. If you'll excuse me, I must return to painting.
 * Jakob: Very well. What has that boy been painting? I can't help but be curious...

 * Jakob: Shigure's exhibition is finally under way. Time to take a look inside the tent... Well then... It appears as though this soiree is in full swing. We've attracted quite a crowd. People have come from all over to see his art. And from what I've overheard, the work seems to be very popular. Well, I think it's safe to call this a rousing success. Not that I'm terribly surprised. Hmm... Where is Shigure? I haven't seen him here...
 * Shigure: *pant* ... *pant* ...
 * Jakob: Shigure, what happened? Please, don't tell me that you're just now arriving. How could you be late to your own show?
 * Shigure: I apologize, Father. I had to stay up all night to finish the last piece.
 * Jakob: All night? Just to finish a blasted painting?
 * Shigure: Y-yes...
 * Jakob: I truly don't understand you. How can you be such a fool? You have two dozen pieces hanging here. Why is one more painting so important?
 * Shigure: Well I'd promised myself that I would complete it, no matter what. I created it because I'm thankful for everything you've done, Father.
 * Jakob: What's this?! Wait. Is that your mother...and me?
 * Shigure: Yes, it is...
 * Jakob: This is what you've been toiling over?
 * Shigure: My love for you two is beyond measure. You brought me into this world. Without you, I never would have been able to paint. So I wanted to pour those feelings of gratitude into this portrait.
 * Jakob: Shigure... I don't know what to say. Heh. Fine, you win. I concede defeat. You must be feeling clever.
 * Shigure: F-Father... It hurts when you hug me so tightly. Hahaha.
 * Jakob: Shigure, I must admit... It's wonderful to have such a thoughtful son. I'm very proud of you.
 * Shigure: Thank you...
 * Jakob: Oh dear. There's no time to waste! We have to display this painting immediately.
 * Shigure: OK... But now that I think about it, hanging this family portrait is a little embarrassing.
 * Jakob: Maybe a bit. But it's also the finest piece here. It would be absurd to excise it from the exhibition. We have to find the perfect place to display it. Won't you help?
 * Shigure: Of course!

 * Takumi: Ah, Shigure... Are you painting again?
 * Shigure: Hello, Father. Yes, I'm sorry. I know this is no time for artwork. We are at war, after all.
 * Takumi: Son, don't worry about it. I didn't come here to criticize you. Honestly, it's a little sad. In another time or place, you might have become a world-famous artist.
 * Shigure: That's very kind of you to say.
 * Takumi: Where is your ambition? It's obvious that these paintings deserve to be seen. There must be a way to show off all of your artwork.
 * Shigure: Father, what do you mean?
 * Takumi: Wait... Yes, I have an idea! Why don't we hold a solo exhibition for you?
 * Shigure: A-an exhibition? I could never do that. With our troops already on the advance, the timing would never work. The setup alone would be a massive hassle.
 * Takumi: It doesn't have to be some grandiose affair. We can reserve a tent and announce it to the soldiers and nearby villagers.
 * Shigure: But it seems so vain to rent a whole tent just for personal use...
 * Takumi: Shigure, now more than ever, we need a reprieve from suffering. Art has the power to heal emotional wounds and bring joy to our lives. Have more confidence in yourself. The work you do is more important than you think.
 * Shigure: I don't know about that...
 * Takumi: Listen, I won't force your hand. But I think you shouldn't dismiss the idea.
 * Shigure: Fine, OK... We can give this exhibition a shot.
 * Takumi: It's decided then. Excellent! I'm going to hurry up and get started. First off I'll head into town. Hopefully I can recruit a few helpers. See you later, Shigure!

 * Shigure: Good afternoon, Father...
 * Takumi: Shigure, how are you today? Did you need something?
 * Shigure: No, not exactly. You've done so much to make this show a possibility. I just wanted to say thanks.
 * Takumi: Don't be silly. I'm barely doing anything. So many folks volunteered, it's been a breeze! Everyone is excited to see your work. Truth be told, I think a lot of people have long been curious about your paintings.
 * Shigure: O-oh, I had no idea...
 * Takumi: Shigure, are you nervous?
 * Shigure: Well of course. But the truth is, I'm worried about my newest piece. It just isn't coming together.
 * Takumi: Oh? The one you're painting just for the exhibition? While I would love to see your new work, we don't have much time left to prepare. Can't you hold off on completing it?
 * Shigure: No, that's not an option. I have to finish it. Everyone has devoted so much energy to the show. This final piece ties all the others together. I have to keep working on it.
 * Takumi: I understand. But please, don't overdo it. If you make yourself ill, this will all be for nothing.
 * Shigure: You're right. Thank you, Father. If you'll excuse me, I should get back to my work.
 * Takumi: Of course. Good luck.

 * Takumi: The day has arrived. It's finally time for Shigure's big exhibition. I better take a look inside the tent. Wow... My goodness, look at all these people! From what I've overheard, everyone seems to be enjoying his art. But where is Shigure? I haven't seen him anywhere...
 * Shigure: *pant*...*pant*...
 * Takumi: Sh-Shigure?! Are you just now arriving? The exhibition is well under way. Who shows up late for their own show?!
 * Shigure: I apologize, Father. It took me all night, but I managed to finish my final painting.
 * Takumi: Whaaat?! You stayed up all night just to complete this canvas?
 * Shigure: Y-yes, I did...
 * Takumi: Why would you do something so careless? There are dozens of finished works here. Look how happy everyone is! If you'd made yourself sick, we would have been forced to cancel the exhibition. Then no one would have been able to enjoy all of your work. Why was having one more painting so important?
 * Shigure: I promised myself that I would complete it, no matter what. I created this because I'm thankful for everything you've done for me, Father.
 * Takumi: What?! Th-this painting... It's of your mother and I?
 * Shigure: Yes, it is...
 * Takumi: This is what you've been agonizing over?
 * Shigure: My love for you two is beyond measure. You brought me into this world. Without you, I never would have been able to paint. So I wanted to pour those feelings of gratitude into this portrait.
 * Takumi: I don't know what to say... Shigure, thank you.
 * Shigure: F-Father, it hurts when you hug me so tightly, hahaha.
 * Takumi: You're an unbelievably thoughtful son. I'm very proud of you.
 * Shigure: I'm proud to be your son.
 * Takumi: Now then... We can't waste any time. This painting must go on display so everyone can enjoy it!
 * Shigure: O-OK... But it's a little embarrassing.
 * Takumi: Don't say that. It's probably the finest work that you've done. Wouldn't you agree, Shigure?
 * Shigure: It might just be, Father.

 * Kana: Hmph!
 * Shigure: What troubles you, Kana?
 * Kana: Papa can't play with me. I'm bored.
 * Shigure: I'm surprised that your father ever has any time to play. He's endlessly bussy.
 * Kana: Your mama's just the same.
 * Shigure: Yes, true. Your father and my mother both carry such heavy burdens. I can hardly blame them for not having much time to spend with us children.
 * Kana: B-b-but doesn't my papa know how bored I get around here? I can't stand it sometimes. Don't you feel the same exact way?
 * Shigure: No. I've outgrown that sort of thinking.
 * Kana: What?! You don't want to play with your mama anymore?
 * Shigure: I love spending time with her. But if she can't, I don't get upset.
 * Kana: How can you not? You just don't like playing with your mama! You must be one of those awful things I've heard about! You're a... a... TEENAGER!
 * Shigure: Yes, I'm of a teen year. But a teenager? I just don't think of myself that way.
 * Kana: You are! You're a teenager! That's worse than having cooties! Run away! RUN AWAY!
 * Shigure: What the—?

 * Kana: Oh, it's you, Shigure.
 * Shigure: Kana, please, about our last talk...
 * Kana: What, teenager? Still hate your mama, teenager?
 * Shigure: No, please. I don't. You've misunderstood.
 * Kana: It seems clear to me.
 * Shigure: When you get to my age, it's natural not to be tied to your mother's apron strings.
 * Kana: What does that even mean?
 * Shigure: In the journey from childhood to adulthood, we all gain some distance from parents. That's how we become independent.
 * Kana: Independent? But I need my papa. We've only just been reunited! Am I wrong for wanting to have fun with Papa even once I'm an adult too?
 * Shigure: Of course not. I want to spend lots of time with my mother as I grow older. But children maintain a healthy distance with their parents as time goes on.
 * Kana: What sort of distance is healthy?! Who told you this junk?! Admit it, Shigure! You've become one of those evil monsters! A teenager! Why can't you just say it?!
 * Shigure: I don't like that label.
 * Kana: And you hate your parents! Just admit that you do!
 * Shigure: But I don't. I just don't cling to them.
 * Kana: Teenager, teenager!
 * Shigure: You're acting like more like a teenager than I am, Kana.
 * Kana: Me?! Take it back!
 * Shigure: I mean that you're behaving like a brat right no.

 * Shigure: Kana, if I could have a word?
 * Kana: Spare me tour evil teenspeak!
 * Shigure: I need to tell you how much it hurts my feelings when you sau things like that. I also want to apologize for sayinh that you were being a brat.
 * Kana: Yes? Go on.
 * Shigure: With my apology? I thought I just did that. But, er... All right. You love your parents. I shouldn't have told you it's natural to separate. That may be my way. But it won't be the same for everyone.
 * Kana: I'm glad to hear it, Shigure. But, uh, I'm sorry too.
 * Shigure: You have nothing to apologize for, Kana.
 * Kana: I've given it some thought. Maybe I'm starting to be one of THEM. A teenager, like you said. But I'm going to hold on to my papa for dear life, no matter what.
 * Shigure: We all go throguh a rebellious phase.
 * Kana: Rebellious phase?
 * Shigure: Or so I'm told about growing up. I think I may have skipped it accidentally. Maybe by being in my Deeprealm. I grew up out of step with my parents. Maybe my rebellious phase is still coming.
 * Kana: You think?
 * Shigure: Our parents walk with us on the path from childhood to adulthood. For the first part anyway. But did ours? Now an then. But mostly... not. Maybe you and I are more alike than we realized. Will we rebel? Or won't we?
 * Kana: I vote for no. I don't like fighting.
 * Shigure: Then you migh be in luck. aybe you'll skip being a teenager, Kana.
 * Kana: Maybe you will too! You don't seem like you enjoy fighting either.

 * Shigure: Do you? You were hoping to skip the whole rebellious phase. You didn't rebel against your father in some way, did you?
 * Kana: No, of course not! But after you and I last spoke about that rebellious phase... I can't stop thinking about it. I've got to do something ro rebel—just a little! I want you to join my very small rebellion, Shigure.
 * Shigure: You want me to join your cause? How far we've come. It seemed that once you hated me.
 * Kana: I never did. I just hated the idea of changing. You were always my friend.
 * Shigure: Then I will join your little rebellion, Kana. Just the two of us?
 * Kana: Sure, I think that's best.
 * Shigure: I suppose, since we both know that it was like to grow up in the Deeprealms.
 * Kana: We survived that! And we'll survive this rebellious phase too!
 * Shigure: An ideal plan, Kana. We'll come out the other side as incredible adults! Our parents will be proud that we've managed it all on our own.
 * Kana: Ha! My papa and your mama won't ever recognize us! Let's go!

 * Dwyer: Hmm... Where did Shigure run off to? I doubt that he's out here in the hills or fields, but I couldn't find him at camp... It's probably worth it to look, at least.
 * Shigure: *singing*
 * Dwyer: Wait, is that him? Why is he sitting on that tree stump all the way out here? And who are all those peop--- No, those aren't people... They look like forest animals... Bears, rabbits, squirrels... Is that a wolf? How can they all be sitting together so calmly?
 * Shigure: I think that's enough for one day. How did you all enjoy it?
 * Dwyer: ...It looks like he's trying to hold a conversation with them.
 * Shigure: Ah! Who's there?! Oh no! Come back!
 * Dwyer: Um... Sorry about that. I didn't mean to make them all run away... That was my fault, Shigure.
 * Shigure: They were just startled, Dwyer. Frankly, I was too! But don't worry about it. They can't help being a little shy. So tell me, what are you doing all the way out here?
 * Dwyer: Well, I came here looking for you. Even though we're siblings, we didn't get to grow up together, right? You're my brother, but I don't know the first thing about you. I thought we could talk.
 * Shigure: O-oh, I see... I don't know what to say. I'm really not the most interesting person around... You might have a better time talking with someone more outgoing.
 * Dwyer: Don't say that...
 * Shigure: Please, you shouldn't feel obligated to be my friend just because we're related. Honestly, I'm not in the most social mood right now. Please, excuse me...
 * Dwyer: H-hey, don't leave... What's with him?

 * Mitama: *yawn* I think it's time for a nap...
 * Shigure: Hello, Mitama.
 * Mitama: Shigure? What are you doing out here?
 * Shigure: I'm just heading back to camp. I was out doing some landscape paintings. Would you like to see? Here.
 * Mitama: A static canvas / eeming with the inert life / The moving colors. Though your images are frozen, they move me. You are very talented.
 * Shigure: Thank you. Do you make any art? Besides poetry, I mean. Pictures.
 * Mitama: I did. But it was a long time ago. And they were not like this. I made chigiri-e. It is an old Hoshidan art form.
 * Shigure: Chigiri-e?
 * Mitama: They are in some ways similar to collages. You paste pieces of torn paper to a canvas.
 * Shigure: That sounds very interesting. May I see some?
 * Mitama: Ahhhhh...
 * Shigure: No need to sound so enthusiastic...
 * Mitama: I'm sorry. I don't mind showing you. I just have no idea where they are right now. O, where do they lie / Somewhere in my things must sleep / My chigiri-e.
 * Shigure: Is your room really that messy? But I must see them! Is there no way you could find them for me?
 * Mitama: But... it would be so much work... *sigh*. Fine, fine, I suppose I can look around.
 * Shigure: Thank you, Mitama.

 * Mitama: Shigure! I found those old chigiri-e pieces you wanted to see. Here, look!
 * Shigure: These are incredible...
 * Mitama: Like a dream vision / Paper fibers lay a haze / Over all seen things. The texture of the torn paper gives the image a fuzzy, vague quality. The world can appear as if underwater in a chigiri-e.
 * Shigure: This is amazing! It looks as though the water lily is bleeding into the stream...
 * Mitama: Delicate flowers / Petals of torn-up tissue / Light as morning air. This one is a picture of a flower bed.
 * Shigure: I'm amazed at how you used folds in the rice paper to make darker lines... Such detail... It's masterful. You must have more!
 * Mitama: I thank you for your compliment, but I do not. I have not made these in a long time. My poetry demands all of my time these days. Even then, these were afterthoughts slapped together between poems.
 * Shigure: Afterthoughts? I don't believe it! They're far too beautiful!
 * Mitama: T-truly? It means a lot to me, coming from someone so skilled as yourself... Perhaps I will consider resuming the practice.
 * Shigure: Hm. I have an idea. Would you consider coming on a trip with me sometime?
 * Mitama: Uhhhm...
 * Shigure: Is the idea so repulsive?
 * Mitama: It's not that... it's just... why should we go outside? What would we even do?
 * Shigure: We could go somewhere beautiful. You could write poems while I paint. I'm sure you would enjoy it.
 * Mitama: I guess that doesn't sound so awful...
 * Shigure: And, in case the mood takes you, I'll bring some paper so you can make chigiri-e.
 * Mitama: Oh, so that is what you are after.
 * Shigure: Haha. Not quite. I think your poems are just as beautiful. I was only offering. So, will you come with me? There's a lake nearby that would be perfect.
 * Mitama: Hmm. A lake sounds nice. Very well, I will go with you.
 * Shigure: Perfect! I'm looking forward to it.

(Scene transition)
 * Shigure: And here we are! This is the lake I was telling you about.
 * Mitama: Oh! It's gorgeous!
 * Shigure: Isn't that the clearest water you've ever seen? I'm going to set up my easel, but you feel free to drink in the view. I think you'll write some lovely poems here.
 * Mitama: I think so too. Mirrored back at us / Two artists in the old act / Of making new things.
 * Shigure: Haha. I should have known you'd begin composing the second we got there.
 * Mitama: They just come naturally when I'm in the presence of such beauty. Weren't you going to begin painting?
 * Shigure: Haha. Yes, yes. I just need to set a few things up...
 * Shigure: Phew. I think I'm done with this one for the day. How are you doing, Mitama?
 * Mitama: Zzz... Zzz...
 * Shigure: H-has she been napping this entire time?
 * Mitama: No, I haven't.
 * Shigure: Ack?! You're awake?!
 * Mitama: Yes. I just woke now. Mm. Today was a good day. So many poems, so many snoozes. Perfection.
 * Shigure: Haha. I take it you're glad you came? I know that I am, for one. It was very soothing to hear your poems while I painted. It focuses the mind.
 * Mitama: It worked out wonderfully for me as well. Hearing someone respond as I write them motivated me to keep churning them out. It was an incredible feeling. I was so productive! Although after tou got more engrossed in your paintings, I began to feel sleepy again.
 * Shigure: Oh, haha. I'm sorry! I didn't realize I was the reason you fell asleep.
 * Mitama: Oh no there's no need to apologize. You were just focusing on your work. Paintings and poems / Both strike the heart like a bell / Which echoes through all. I am happy you were here.
 * Shigure: I must admit, at first I really did hope you'd make more chigiri-e. But after you began reading your poems to me, I completely forgot!
 * Mitama: Oh? But I did that too.
 * Shigure: What?! When?!
 * Mitama: Before I fell asleep. Just after you stopped responding to my poems. But I'm not sure you'll like it as much as the others. I've gotten rusty.
 * Shigure: Oh, it's the lake. And is this... my back? Wonderful! Such craftsmanship! I'd never dreamed I'd get to see another Mitama original!
 * Mitama: If you like it that much, you may have it.
 * Shigure: Thank you so much! I can't wait until the next time we come out here!
 * Mitama: Next time? But it's such a bother walking out all this way... Though I did enjoy myself... Perhaps I can be bothered to come with you again... Ocassionally.

 * Shigure: Mitama! I have something for you.
 * Mitama: This is... a painting of myself at the lake?
 * Shigure: Yes. I thought it would be a good way to repay you for your chigiri-e piece.
 * Mitama: A sleepy poet / Gazing out from the lakeshore / A lovely painting. I think the girl in this painting is too beautiful to be me.
 * Shigure: Aw. Don't speak like that. You are extremely beautiful, Mitama.
 * Mitama: O-oh? You think so?


 * Shigure: Mitama... could you do me a favor? I did this painting from memory... but would you allow me to paint you as my model? I would like to gaze at the person i love as I paint her...
 * Mitama: Wh-what?
 * Shigure: I love you, Mitama. I have never felt more at peace than I did at that lake. I did not realize it at first, but it was not the lake. It was because you were there. Mitama... will you be with me?
 * Mitama: Yes! I will.
 * Shigure: You will? Really?
 * Mitama: Yes. I was so happy when you were listenting to me read my poetry... I realized then that I wished to spend every day could with you. Two friends together / Confess a mutual love / A happy ending. I'd like to thank you for giving me such a lovely painting as well. I will treasure it always as a symbol of our love.
 * Shigure: You're very welcome... You know, I hope we can see many more places like the lake together. Perharps I could take you on a flight sometime to find some new spots.
 * Mitama: That sounds enchanting.
 * Shigure: Oh? You wouldn't prefer to just sleep?
 * Mitama: No... I think I prefer being with you now to being in bed. I'll go anywhere with you, Shigure.
 * Shigure: Then let us paln our next adventure, my love!

 * Mitama: Now where did Shigure run off to? It would be odd for him to be out in the hills and fields...but I couldn't find him anywhere at camp either, so...
 * Shigure: *singing*
 * Mitama: Wait...that's Shigure! So he was out here after all! Why is he just sitting quietly on that tree stump? And who are those people surrounding - WHAAAT?! They aren't people! Those are....forest animals!! Squirrels, rabbits...even bears? My goodness...how can the animals all sit there so obediently?
 * Shigure: I think that's enough for one day. How did you all enjoy it?
 * Mitama: Are you...talking to them?
 * Shigure: Ah! Who's there?! Wait! No! Don't go!
 * Mitama: Oh dear. The animals ran away...that was entirely my fault. I'm sorry, Shigure.
 * Shigure: You just startled them, Mitama. Frankly, you startled me too! But, please, don't worry about it. They can't help being shy. So tell me, what are you doing all the way out here?
 * Mitama: I was searching for you, of course. Though we're siblings, growing up apart prevented us from truly forging a bond. So I thought perhaps we could spend some time together. You are my elder brother, after all.
 * Shigure: O-oh, I don't know what to say. I'm really not the most interesting person around... You might be better off trying to make friends with people who are more outgoing.
 * Mitama: Th-that isn't true at all! I just want to get to know you!
 * Shigure: Please, don't feel obligated to try and be friends just because we're related. To be honest, I'm not in the most social mood right now. If you'll excuse me...
 * Mitama: H-hey, wait just a minute! He's gone...
 * Mitama: When we meet at last / I receive a cold shoulder / from the one I seek...
 * Mitama: This is going to take some real effort...

 * Mitama: *sigh* Now where has Shigure disappeared to? He's probably back in that clearing with all of those animals...heehee, looks like I was right. Good afternoon, Shigure!
 * Shigure: Mitama?! What are you doing here?! Ah! No! Wait!
 * Mitama: Looks like I've frightened them off again. They sure can sprint. Sorry about that, Shigure. I didn't mean to get in the way.
 * Shigure: Oh, don't worry about it. They aren't used to other people being around here. It's easy to startle them.
 * Mitama: I-is that right? Well aren't you something. I've never seen anyone tame wild animals like you have. It's quite a talent.
 * Shigure: Why were you looking for me again? Did you need something?
 * Mitama: Yes, I do. We are siblings, and I think it's important for us to be much closer.
 * Mitama: The blood that binds us / it is the one and only / treasure that we share...
 * Shigure: That's true...listen, I'm sorry for being cold the other day. The truth is, it makes me happy that you care about our relationship so much. I'm your brother, and I don't want to let you down.
 * Mitama: Really? So I can stay here with you? Won't you call back those animals? I would love to play with them.
 * Shigure: Honestly, I don't think they would be comfortable around you.
 * Mitama: Oh really? Th-they won't? And yet they're so fond of you...with a bit of ingenuity and hard work, perhaps I can befriend them as well. Please, tell me your secret?
 * Shigure: Hmm...I'm not sure if this will help, but...animals are highly attuned to the feelings of people around them. Most likely, they detected something in you that drove them off.
 * Mitama: Like what? It's not as though I have any animosity toward them.
 * Shigure: They can sense what you were thinking. Were you sizing them up to figure out which one might make a tasty dinner? Even just for a moment?
 * Mitama: *sigh*
 * Mitama: My elder brother / says the rudest things to me / I am quite annoyed
 * Shigure: I'm s-sorry...that's a primary reasons why they might run away from you. I appreciate how sincere you are about befriending them. I'll try to think of what can be done to make them feel safe around you. There's got to be a way to help out my adorable sister.
 * Mitama: Really? I certainly hope so.

 * Mitama: Hello, Shigure...
 * Shigure: What's wrong, Mitama? You look upset.
 * Mitama: Well. It's the animals...
 * Shigure: Oh? Did you want to go pay them a visit? I was just about to head in that direction if you want to come along. Are you ready to prove that you don't mean them any harm?
 * Mitama: About that...I've been thinking. I realized that I may have been feeling some anger when I met them.
 * Shigure: What do you mean?
 * Mitama: When I saw how well you got along with those animals, I was overcome with envy. In the moment, I wished that they would all just disappear. I'm sure that's why they thought I was hostile toward them. They did nothing wrong, and yet I treated them so poorly.
 * Shigure: Mitama, I'm glad you thought about this and talked to me.
 * Mitama: I don't think I should go back out to the clearing again. The last thing I want is to disturb the animals any further.
 * Shigure: Don't say that. I think you should definitely go back. You've opened up, and the animals will be able to tell that you've changed. I think they'll be more welcoming.
 * Mitama: I don't know...
 * Shigure: Well I do. You din't have to tell me you were feeling jealous, but you did anyway. That tells me that you've got a good soul. They'll be able to tell, too. Look! There's a rabbit coming this way!
 * Mitama: Ah! Wait, what should I do?!
 * Shigure: Just calm down...relax, and take a breath. Quiet your mind, and be peaceful...think about ow you want to be friends with the furry critter.
 * Mitama: O-OK, I'll try...oh goodness, it's working! He's letting me pet him! He sure likes it when I scratch him under the chin.
 * Shigure: See? I told you everything would be fine.
 * Mitama: Yes! You were absolutely right!
 * Shigure: Now all of us can get along, including you and I. Why don't we wander down to the clearing. All you new friends will be waiting for you!
 * Mitama: All right! Thank you for being such a great brother, Shigure.
