4948TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_001I cannot claim to know exactly how Endless behave, but hopefully our man has not gone far.
5049TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_002Let us split up to search for him. He is an Eldite with fair hair.
5150TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_010Gods strike me down... We reunite again after a hundred years, and what should happen...
5251TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_011Y-Yes? My apologies, but I'm in some haste. If you have something to say, please make it brief.
5352TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_012Your friend noticed that I seemed troubled, so you've been looking for me? What kind souls you are!
5453TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_013I've lost something important─the engagement ring intended for my beloved. A lanky, monkey-like fiend stole it from me.
5554TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_014After running hither and thither, I managed to locate the beast in yonder square, but I'm uncertain how I should take the ring back...
5655TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_015Once, I might have considered fighting for it, but given the shortage of aether, the danger is simply too great.
5756TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_016If I were to be struck down and my essence dispersed, I am not like to be remade for a long time.
5857TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_017I cannot risk that. Not after my beloved has finally been given form again after a hundred years.
5958TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_018Though it pains me to do so, I shall give up on the ring, but I thank you for your kind concern.
6059TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_020That accursed beast was holding up the ring, taunting me! Grrr, how I should like to teach it a lesson... Just to warn you, it seems to be fond of shiny objects. Should you venture into yonder square, I suggest you keep an eye on your possessions.
6160TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_040Oh, 'tis you again. Was there something else?
6261TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_041Good heavens, this is the ring! You took it back from that beast!?
6362TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_042Thank you! Thank you ever so much!
6463TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_043I see you've already resolved the situation, Player.
6564TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_044You must be the friend who first noticed me. I owe you my gratitude as well.
6665TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_045(-Euclase-)My name is Euclase. I was planning to propose to my beloved with the ring, and thanks to you, I can do just that.
6766TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_046Well, well, that is cause to rejoice indeed. Did the two of you meet here?
6867TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_047(-Euclase-)No, we were sweethearts in life. But I died young, and she only followed me decades later.
6968TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_048(-Euclase-)Even then, our reunion wasn't yet to be, for the aether shortage means not everyone can be recreated. I had to wait until but recently to see her again.
7069TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_049A reunion beyond death... Such a thing would be possible here, I suppose.
7170TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_050(-Euclase-)I assume you're newly arrived.
7271TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_051(-Euclase-)While our memories are stored in the terminals, less than one in ten of us has been given form at present.
7372TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_052(-Euclase-)I myself have been reincarnated three times now, and each time there seems to be fewer of us. It's fairly a miracle that my beloved and I could meet.
7473TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_053I see. Given the circumstances, the chances of existing concurrently with an acquaintance would be slim indeed─and slimmer still for a loved one.
7574TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_054(-Euclase-)Truly. That is why I decided to do that which I failed to do in life: ask her for her hand.
7675TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_055(-Euclase-)With her regulator, she was spared the sadness of my death. Even so, she never took another man for the rest of her days.
7776TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_056(-Euclase-)She told me that, although she couldn't remember me afterwards, she could never shake the feeling that someone precious had been a part of her life. The sweet fool...
7877TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_057(-Euclase-)The ring represents a yearning I have long carried, though I know full well it is only a construct. Like these bodies of ours.
7978TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_058(-Euclase-)...There is a part of me that wonders if this is wrong. Not that I expect us to exist forever, even in this form.
8079TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_059(-Euclase-)But to be with the one I love once again and make her happy... However wrong this world may be, I have nothing but gratitude for Queen Sphene.
8180TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_060(-Euclase-)Now, if you'll excuse me, I shall go and make that proposal. I've made her wait long enough as it is.
8281TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_061(-Euclase-)This isn't much, but please accept it as a token of my thanks.
8382TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_062Tickets?
8483TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_063(-Euclase-)For the gondola. To ensure that order is preserved, we must observe the proper way of doing things even here. It's very much like Queen Sphene to make it so, is it not?
8584TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_EUCLASE_000_064(-Euclase-)Take care, my friends─and see to it you have no regrets!
8685TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_065Well, I think it's about time we rejoined the others...but what do you say we go by gondola?
8786TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_066I expect it won't be possible to do so once the terminal has been shut down.
8887TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_067Come then, let us seek a vessel at the pier.
8988TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_070I've presented our tickets. While I'm no stranger to boats, I can't help but feel a little excited!
9089TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GONDOLIER04950_000_080We can push off at any time. Mind the gap when you board.
9190TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_090'Twas nice to chat with you again, my friend. It feels as though it has been some time.
9291TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_091Having met Endless like Euclase, I feel I've come to understand Sphene a little better.
9392TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_092Anyone would wish those dear to them a long and happy future, and she bears the burden of this desire for all her subjects.
9493TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_093Yet as Krile said, we too have people we cannot lose...
9594TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_094Come, Player. We can get to the fountain via yonder bridge.
9695TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_095Now that I look at it closely, the clock has no hands. On account of there being no need to keep track of time, perhaps.
9796TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_100Finished talking to the locals, have you? I'd be keen to hear your impressions.
9897TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_110Krile and Erenville are still out and about, it seems.
9998TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_111So, how was it? What are your impressions of those you met?
10099TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_112It was great! Everyone was so happy, just talking to them made me happy too.
101100TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_113What about you, Player?
102101TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_114Sweethearts reunited? That's a miracle!
103102TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_115While it is a miracle after a fashion, the system strives to make such encounters possible.
104103TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_116If you meet someone you know, it's probably not by chance. The terminals hold information on unfulfilled longings, and use them to orchestrate reunions like Euclase's.
105104TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_117I see... That the terminals can do this is impressive indeed. But there is one thing I do not understand.
106105TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_118According to Euclase, his beloved passed away decades after he did, yet they appeared to be of like age.
107106TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_119Ah, yes. People are not necessarily recreated as they were when they passed away.
108107TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_120The appearance of an Endless, I speculate, reflects the happiest period in their life.
109108TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_121Is that the case for you, then? Not that I can tell how old you are, as slowly as your people age.
110109TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_122I'm not sure, to be honest. I have so many happy times, it's hard to know which one applies.
111110TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_123I'm insufferably inquisitive. Whether it's nature or technology, I can't help but want to learn more about the world around me.
112111TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_124You might say that discovery is what gives me joy. It made me happy in life...and may have been a blessing afterwards.
113112TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_125The other Endless are content with what they have here, you see. They don't develop the urge to leave.
114113TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_126But I was so determined to see the world again that I taught myself how to gain control of a vessel and ventured outside.
115114TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_127Heh, you're a proper rebel!
116115TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_128Well, that's enough about me for now. While we wait for Krile and Elene'shpya, I have a favor to ask of you.
117116TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_129As you may have noticed, most of the fountains here aren't running. That's because, despite its shiny appearance, this city is centuries old and everything is dreadfully run-down.
118117TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_130The fountains apparently used to put on magnificent shows, and I was hoping that we could get them working again.
119118TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_131Giving the control units a dose of aether should be enough to restore the circuits and switch them on. But being an Endless, I'm unable to do that.
120119TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_132I realize this is a selfish request, but at the last, I'd like to treat the people here to the display.
121120TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_133Just leave it to us! I'd love to see the show myself!
122121TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_134Thank you. The control units are built into the surrounding lampposts. If you tend to a few of them each, you'll be done before you know it.
123122TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_135Once the fountains are fixed, we can round up Elene'shpya and Krile and head to the Hydro Terminal together.
124123TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_136So the time is nigh... Come, let us set to it.
125124TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_140This must be the control.
126125TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_145It looks like ordinary stone, but inside it's electrope. Talk about confusing.
127126TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_150The fountain shows are supposedly magnificent. Perhaps they'll impress even my fussy little bunbun.
128127TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_170The show was breathtaking, was it not?
129128TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_175I've made a wonderful memory. Thank you.
130129TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_KRILE_000_180Namikka looked truly happy...
131130TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_ERENVILLE_000_185...
132131TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_190Just to make sure, Cahciua─you're not going to disappear when we shut this terminal down, right?
133132TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_191Not just yet. It's the Aero Terminal in the northwestern zone that holds my memories.
134133TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_ERENVILLE_000_192...
135134TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_193You already know how to operate the terminal. It's the same process as the fountain's control.
136135TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_194I leave it for you to decide when to shut it down. Doing so will cause the Endless here to fade away, together with this beautiful scenery.
137136TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_195If you still wish to speak with people or see the sights, you'll want to do that first.
138137TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_SYSTEM_000_196Upon shutting down the Hydro Terminal, it will not be possible to restore Canal Town to its present form.
139138TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_SYSTEM_000_197Are you certain you wish to shut down the terminal?
140139TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_GRAHATIA_000_200I had braced myself for it, but to actually erase the Endless is...hard.
141140TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_CAHCIUA_000_205Thank you.
142141TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_KRILE_000_210This is Living Memory's true appearance...
143142TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_ERENVILLE_000_215...
144143TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_220This hurts. I'd be lying if I said otherwise.
145144TEXT_KINGMF105_04950_WUKLAMAT_000_221But the only way now is forward...
