Script

Inn dialogue

Praxis

Hey, Theory...
I heard there's a really cool place round here called Orl Cloudway.

Theory

Huh? Really? Whatever.

Praxis

Why don't we head out there with all the guys?

Theory

I don't know... Seems like effort.

Heart-to-Heart

Praxis

There's supposed to be a totally amazing view through here!
I'm so pumped for this!

Theory

That interests you? I cannot say the same.

Praxis

Aw, come on, lighten up! We can go together. It'll be fun!

Theory

You could bring an army and it would still not interest me.
I'm going on ahead.

The scene fades to black for a moment.

Praxis

Hey, hold up Theory! Don't go out on your own!
Theory, why are you being so cold to me?

Theory

It's nothing personal. I'm equally cold to everyone.
Even to my Driver, it is the same.

Rex

Yeah, I guess that's true.

Nia

That's right. Theory's a cool kind of gal.

Mòrag

I can't deny that. Though I don't think it's a bad thing per se.

Zeke

True, that. But that's just her character.

Praxis

Uhh... That's not what I mean. What I'm trying to say is...
I promised you. The old you.
I promised that I wouldn't forget you.
The old you wanted the two of us to stay friends.
Which is why...

Theory

I don't see why you would go to such lengths.
The present me doesn't think the same way.
And both you and I have lost our memories once before.

Praxis

Ah...

Praxis's Driver

How should I respond?

Rex

Try to consider Praxis's feelings.

Nia

Try to consider Praxis's feelings.

Mòrag

Try to consider Praxis's feelings.

Zeke

Maybe consider Praxis's feelings?

Trust +900

Theory

Sorry.
I'm not trying to be cold to her.

Praxis

It's OK. I understand.
I'm just another Blade to you. Nothing more, nothing less. I get it.

Theory

Hmm...

Praxis

But it's different for me.
I knew the old you. I wanted to be together with you, always.

Rex

You know, you two are really alike.

Nia

Y'know, you two are really alike.

Mòrag

You two are really quite alike.

Zeke

You two are pretty similar really.

Trust +1000

Theory

We are alike?

Rex

The old Praxis was never really bothered about her memories.
And that seemed to make the previous Theory really sad.

Nia

The old Praxis was never really bothered about her memories.
And it looked like that made the previous Theory really sad.

Mòrag

The old Praxis didn't care very much about her memories.
And I got the impression that fact made the previous Theory quite sad.

Zeke

The old Praxis hardly cared about her memories.
And that seemed to upset the old Theory one heck of a lot.

Theory

And that's why you're sad? Because you knew the former me?

Praxis

I'm not that sad about it. Yet. But if this keeps up, I might just start crying.
Haha...

Theory

...

The dialogue is now independent of choices.

Rex

You two are like sisters!
Though I guess it's weird for Blades to have sisters...

Nia

You two are basically sisters.
Though I guess it's kinda funny for Blades to have sisters, huh...

Mòrag

You two are essentially sisters.
Though perhaps sisters is the wrong word, considering you're both Blades...

Zeke

You're basically sisters, right?
Though it isn't half strange for Blades to have sisters...

Theory

Sisters...

Praxis

I like that!

Theory

You're happy with this?

Praxis

Heck yeah! It makes us sound special!
I can be the older sis, and you can be the younger one!

Theory

Hmm...

Praxis

Theory, would you mind calling me "big sis"?

Theory

I would mind.

Praxis

I guess you've gotta warm to it, huh?
Well, li'l sis, you can call me big sis any time you want!

Theory

I will never call you that.

The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Theory went away.

Praxis

Hey, it's early days.
Still, thank you!
I was worried for a while, but I think I'll be able to keep our promise now!
