Daley - Student with poor study.
Born and raised by the seaside of Elysiann.
Friend of the sea, ingenuous and carefree
Intro[]
A son of an ordinary farmer's family in Elysiann, Daley grew up by the river of Elysiann and has been playing with fish since childhood. Daley was gifted with the power to control Water Flux, and he named the sea shell he uses as weapon, taking it as his 'sister in battle.' However, neither Daley himself nor his parents were aware of his Gyee identity. One day, Daley found a severely-injured youth named Shawn in the river. He entrusted his best friend, Shirou, to save Shawn's life. Despite Shirou's initial precaution of this mysterious youth, he reluctantly accepted Daley's request. Soon, thanks to Daley's enthusiasm, the three of them became very close friends.
Recently, General Will of the Light of Purity had arrived in Elysiann to recruit new blood personally. Daley had been dreaming of joining the Light of Purity and becoming a hero like General Will. Just as he was about to apply, unexpected events had occurred...
As a Mana user, Daley starts the battle with 100 Mana and gains 30 Mana at the start of their turn.

Scripts[]
Consolation Letter[]
So far I've experienced many kinds of happiness, but the best one is the days when you were in Elysiann.
Bathed in the twilight, you were the warmest person to me in this tropical island. As we were laying on the beach and watching the endless ocean and sky, I tilted my head and told you, 'Stay and live with me.' Perhaps... the wind was too strong, or the smell of sea water was too intoxicating... I suspected if I had really uttered the words, or some deity had read the wish in my mind. You didn't answer, but smiled at me.
Yes. There is joy as long as I'm with you. What else can be more reassuring? No need to think of or speak anything. Just smile at me.
Bath Drama[]
- Ha-ha, I taught Shawn how to swim in a small pool just like this!
- Hot tubs are boring. I prefer stretching my legs in the ocean.
- What? Want me to sing a song? Well... How about the 'Little White Ship'?
Fave Hottie Slogan[]
Big crabs, coconut water... and a big conch! Vote for me, and they're all yours!
Intimacy Breakthrough[]
This section contains spoilers for Intimacy Breakthrough scenes.
-Intimacy Level 4
- Daley: This question is so hard. Can you show me your answer?
-Intimacy Level 5
- Daley: Insults?
- Daley: I am great at it!
- Daley: But I don't want to call you names...
-Intimacy Level 6
- Daley: They can do it. Why can't I?
- Daley: Eh... you mean Shirou?
- Daley: Humph! What Shirou is capable of...
- Daley: Well, I might not be able to do it...
-Intimacy Level 7
- Daley: But Shawn and I are equals in terms of intelligence. We get along really well!
- Daley: Shirou is literally the source of my pain!
- Daley: He is always acting like a superior to us!
- Player: (Em... he already debased himself to help you save face. Can't you see?)
- Daley: I've never defeated Shirou! Not even once! He is always better than Shawn and me!
- Daley: Shawn and I are like two idiots in front of Shirou...
- Player: (Eh... Shawn is not quite as idiotic as you.)
- Daley: I had a fight with Shirou yesterday...
- Daley: That's because...
- Daley: A single mispronounced word!
- Daley remembers his falling out with Shirou the other day...
- Daley: I have been pronouncing it as eh-lite all my life!
- Daley: And you are telling me that it should be EH-LEET?!!
- Daley: How on earth is it possible?
- Daley: And you! Why are avoiding me?
- Daley: I won't crack open your brilliant mind just because I am mad!
- Shirou: Well, that's hard to say. Your hand always has an opinion of its own.
- Daley: Hey! The feeling I have right now is not jealousy! It's envy!
- Shirou: Envy? Then we are good.
- Shirou: Daley, when someone is up in the sky...
- Shirou: It's true you appear tiny to him. But he looks tiny to you too!
- Shirou: You have a sore neck. But his wings are even sorer!
- Daley: But...
- Daley: I would get a stiff neck!
- Daley: But flying would make your muscle stronger!
- Shirou: Yeah.
- Daley: !!!
- Daley recounted everything to you fervently.
- Player: Hahaha
- Player: I can't deny it.
- Daley: His words literally ended our conversation!
- Daley: I was waiting for him to give me a few words of encouragement.
- Daley: And after deliberation, he just replied 'Hm'. What kind of answer is that?!!
- Daley: I finally get it! I am not a victim of ignorance. I am a victim to Shirou!
- Player: Ha!
- Daley: Player, why don't you be our judge? It's a fancy word. You would mispronounce it, right?
- Player: What's with EH-LEET?
- Player: Eh-lite sounds so weird!
- Daley: Oh man...
- Daley: You... pronounce it as EH-LEET, too?!
- Daley: So, I am the only one who can't read?!
- Daley: Why am I the only illiterate here?!
- Player: Daley is now in existential crisis mode.
- Player: Please! Calm down!
- Player: Hm... Everybody has his own weakness.
- Player: I would mispronounce words myself.
- Player: Don't give yourself up for that.
- Player: Next time you are in doubt, just look the word up in a dictionary.
- Player: I have a great dictionary. Please take it.
- Daley: Oh man...
- Daley: Player, you are so kind.
- Daley: Much more considerate than Shirou!
- Player: ...
- Daley: Actually, Player...
- Daley: I feel that I am surrounded by intellectuals like Shirou and you...
- Daley: If I ask Shawn, he will mispronounce the word too, right?
- Player: Eh?
- Daley: It's impossible that I am the only one who mispronounce the word!
- Daley: There must be others like me!
- Daley: No! I can't believe it!
- Daley: Why don't you go test Shawn with me?
- Player: Eh... Okay.
- Player: Ha-ha!
- Shawn is running towards Daley from afar.
- Shawn: Daley, what is it?
- Daley: Shawn, let me give you a quiz!
- Daley: Do you know how to pronounce this word?
- Player: Ahem...
- Shawn gets the wink you gave him.
- Shawn: Well, how do you pronounce it, Daley?
- Daley: I believed it was pronounced as eh-lite.
- Daley: Then I found out it should be EH-LEET.
- Shawn: Ah... It's EH-LEET!
- Shawn: I thought it was eh-lite too.
- Shawn: Thank you, Daley! I learned a new word today!
- Daley: Ha-ha, Player! I told you so!
- Daley: Shawn and I are in the same level!
- Shawn: I am just seven taels compared to you.
- Shawn: You are half a catty, then I am merely seven taels.
- Daley: Hmm?
- Daley: How come you have two more taels than me?
- Shawn: Huh?
- Player: Uh...
- Scene transition
- Daley: Humph...
- Daley: Shawn thinks he's better than me, too?
- Daley: I am older than him...
- Player: ...Daley.
- Player: I must defend Shawn for a bit.
- Daley: ???
- Player: Though a catty is equal to five taels now.
- Player: At the time when the idiom 'half a catty, eight taels' originated, a catty was equal to sixteen taels.
- Player: So, half a catty was equal to eight taels.
- Player: Shawn abased himself to let you shine.
- Player: But if you couldn't take the hint, he really didn't know how to react.
- Daley: Huh? Is that so?
- Daley: Player, you knew I made a mistake. But you didn't say anything in front of Shawn.
- Daley: On the contrary, you waited till we were alone to explain that to me.
- Player: A true friend would never embarrass you in front of others.
- Player: That's true. But Shawn and Shirou would have done the same.
- Daley: You guys are so good to me!
- Daley: I am the one who's been inconsiderate.
- Daley: I will reflect on my mistakes.
- Daley: I'd better start reading more books.
- Daley: Thank you, Player.
- Player: ...
-Intimacy Level 8
- Daley: When will you visit Elysiann?
- Daley: I will run to you again!
- Daley: And I'll wave even harder than last time!
-Intimacy Level 9
- Daley: Huh? You choked on water?
- Daley: Do you need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?
- Daley: Relax! I am an expert on it!
-Intimacy Level 10
- Daley: I choked on water. I need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
- Daley: Hey you! Don't go!
- Daley: I think I need a bit more of that!
-Intimacy Level 11
- Daley: Hey? Why are you standing here?
- Player: Be a good man and return the book to its owner.
- Daley: Book? What book? Let me see!
- Daley: Huh? Isn't that My Regrets?
- Player: What? You read that too?
- Player: I mean, you could read the title?
- Player: I couldn't decipher the words myself.
- Daley: Surely I can!
- Daley: It's gonna be embarrassing because it's My Regrets!
- Player: Ha-ha! You wrote an autobiography?
- Daley: Sort of...
- Daley: But that doesn't count...
- Daley: Anyway!
- Daley: I'll go burn the book immediately! And write another one!
- Player: Huh? Why is that?
- Daley: The regrets in this books are so trivial!
- Daley: My true regrets need to be rewritten.
- Player: What are your true regrets about?
- Daley: I...
- Scene Transition
- Daley: I want to regret...
- Daley: Those prejudices I had towards Gyees!
- Daley: You know...
- Daley: I didn't know I was Gyee.
- Daley: And I knew nothing about being Gyee.
- Daley: I overheard it from adults' gossips.
- Daley: My source of information is biased.
- Daley: I believed what they told me about Gyees being rioters.
- Daley: And the idea of keeping away from Gyees started to catch on.
- Daley: I never had the patience to find the truth and think independently.
- Daley: I just followed others in going against Gyees.
- Daley: But damn! I AM Gyee myself!
- Daley: I used to set my heart in joining the Light of Purity.
- Daley: I deemed General Will of the Light of Purity as my idol!
- Daley: With his reputation, I thought, whatever he did must be righteous!
- Daley: But I had no idea what he'd really been up to.
- Daley: I followed him blindly and wanted to be a hero; a Gyee-killer like him!
- Daley: But I never reflected on my decision. To be exact, I never used my brain!
- Daley: When I found out my identity, I almost had a mental breakdown!
- Daley: Aside from anxiety, all I had within my mindspace was death!
- Daley: I even begged General Will to kill me in the name of the Light of Purity!
- Daley: Even then...
- Daley: I thought it was right to separate Gyees from others.
- Daley: Now that I come to think of it, those things I learned from my neighbors were pure trash.
- Daley: The things l learned when I was little were so foolish and prejudiced.
- Daley: Luckily, Shirou and you had made me see the truth with that beating!
- Daley: Without you guys by my side...
- Daley: I probably would've never moved beyond my stupid prejudices!
- Daley: I love you SO much!!
- Player: Ha-ha, I think you best not write down any of your regrets, then.
- Player: Write a book of appreciation instead. At least you have me as your reader...
- Daley: Right on!
- Daley: I will start writing right away!
- Daley: And I will broadcast it to the whole village!
- Player: Y-You're scaring me...
- Player: I appreciate that. But please don't broadcast it.
-Intimacy Level 12
- Daley: What are you looking at?
- Daley: It's me who fell for you in the first place!
- Daley: Can't you just visit me more?
- Daley: You fool. Why don't you understand my feelings?
- Daley: What feelings?
- Daley: Since you asked...
- Daley: I will tell you... or rather, I will confess my love to you!
- Daley: Grownups always tell me...
- Daley: Be patient. You still have time.'
- Daley: Stop talking about the future!
- Daley: It must be now!
- Daley: My love for you!
- Daley: I can't wait any longer!
- Daley: It's too late to tell me to stop!
- Daley: I'm already in love!!!
-Intimacy Level 13
- Daley: There are different types of wisdom teeth.
- Daley: Type 1: healthy and normal ones;
- Daley: Type 2: hidden in the gum but ready to grow;
- Daley: Type 3: impacted wisdom teeth stuck beneath the flesh...
- Daley: And my wisdom teeth belong to Type 3, just like myself...
- Daley: I am not talented nor hardworking...
- Daley: And I don't have much ambition.
- Daley: My flaws are almost countless...
- Daley: I know...
- Daley: I will never be as successful as Shirou.
- Daley: I am not as considerate as Shawn.
- Daley: But only I would love you more than loving myself.
- Daley: Do you really have the heart to leave me?
- Daley: If not, let me stay in your mouth.
- Daley: If possible, I am happy to be in your heart.

- Daley: By a rough estimation, I could do 10 copies of homework...
- Daley: Within a week, I could buy that surfboard!
- Player: Wait!
- Player: Morality aside, how are you going to do this alone?
- Player: Ten copies of homework with different penmanship, not to mention your own. How can you manage?
- Daley: I am not alone...
- Daley: You and Shirou will help me, right?
- Player: !!!
- Daley: We are as thick as thieves!
- Daley: For friendship! Pick up your pen and do homework with me!

- Player: Can I get off the ship of friendship now?
- Daley: (Shake his head) Ha-ha! No, that ship has sailed...
-Be reasonable. It will only gather dust at your home! - 500 Intimacy

- Player: Well, since you love the newest model that much, why don't you…
- Player: Sell some of your old surfboards?
- Player: Then, you could buy the one you crave?
- Player: That's the quickest way to earn money...
- Daley: Huh? Forget it...
- Daley: The surfboard in the window keeps haunting my dreams, as it's not mine yet...
- Daley: My collection of surfboards is precious to me because they are mine.

New Life

- Daley: How boring.
- Daley: Whenever I think like that...
- Daley: Shirou would ask me what kind of life is not boring...
- Daley: I have no answer to that.
- Daley: But I always think others lead more interesting lives than I do.
- Daley: I want to be anyone else but myself.
- Player: (Comfort him.)

- Daley: I've done too many bad things.
- Daley: So I'm not even sure which one the teacher will go off on me for...
- Player: Figure it out. If I'm going to help you, I should at least have something to go on.
- Daley: Well, okay. Ask me anything. I'll tell you what I know.
- Player: Now think back...
- Player: Of everything you've done lately, what could make the teacher call for your parents?
- Daley: Uh, hmm, let me think...
- Daley: Aha, got it!
- Player: What?
- Daley: Fighting in the restroom.
- Player: !!!
- Daley: I didn't really cover it up, so somebody around must have witnessed the whole thing and snitched to the teacher!
- Player: ...
- Player: Who started the fight?
- Daley: I did.
- Player: Was it premeditated or spontaneous?
- Daley: It's spontaneous, but I've been wanting to teach him a lesson for a long time!
- Daley: So when we crossed path in the restroom...
- Player: That sounds bad, Daley!
- Daley: Huh?
- Player: About pretending to be your family and bail you out...
-Choice A - I can't help you.
- Player: Why don't you do something else other than fighting?
- Daley: But I was standing up for someone!
- Player: That doesn't mean you could resort to violence!
- Player: You can't control yourself so I'm guessing you hurt the guy?
- Daley: Yeah... somewhat. But I promise I didn't leave any psychological scars!
- Player: I'm not going to listen to you justify it. It's wrong to fight.
- Daley: What? You're not even gonna hear me out because 'It's wrong to fight?'
- Daley: You sound just like my parents. You don't even need to pretend!
- Daley: Are you gonna berate me and then preach to me?
- Daley: You want me to apologize to the guy I beat up?
- Player: That's right!
- Player: Apologize to the guy, then go see your teacher and get whatever punishment you deserve!
- Daley: ???
- Player: You gotta accept the consequences for your own action. I want no part of this. See ya!
- Scene ends
-Choice B - I'll help, but...
- Player: Before I go see your teacher and get chewed out along with you...
- Player: You should at least explain to me why you got into the fight.
- Choice B1.1 - I trust you. You wouldn't have fought for no reason.
- Daley: (Nodding enthusiastically) Yes, I knew you know me the best!
- Choice B1.2 - I gotta be ready to defend you.
- Daley: You're truly my best friend, Player!
- Conversation continues after choices
- Daley: Sure, I promise to tell the truth and nothing but the truth!
- Daley: Let's go to the teacher's office now. I'll give you the lowdown on the way.
- Daley and Player walk towards the school
- Daley: I had to pee very badly after school that day, so I ditched Shiro and ran for the restroom.
- Daley: And I happened to run across Chris bullying a classmate of mine!
- Daley: So I booted him... A little too hard and knocked him right out.
- Daley: I put him in one of the stalls on the toilet, and closed the door.
- Daley: After that, I went over to check on the classmate sitting on the floor.
- Player: ...
- Scene - The past, at school
- Daley reminisces about his 'act of chivalry'...
- Daley is speaking to a classmate
- Daley: Shawn once said, 'You can get hit but you must give one back in return!'
- Daley: I stood up for you. Next time, stand up for yourself.
- Classmate: (Mutters) Bastard!
- Daley: It's better to think of him as a thug.
- Daley: How did Chris start this?
- Classmate: (Hesitant) His lackeys sent the message.
- Classmate: They told me he wants to chat with me.
- Classmate: I knew, more or less...
- Classmate: It probably that time when a punk took my backpack.
- Classmate: After he got it back, he poured through the backpack to confirm its owner.
- Classmate: (Self-deprecates) So the secrets in my sketchbook were discovered.
- Daley: I remember, it's the sketchbook you used to draw pictures of him surreptitiously, right?
- Classmate: (Nodding) ...
- Classmate: I went to see him after school.
- Classmate: I had no idea how to explain it to him.
- Classmate: He told me to follow him to the restroom.
- Classmate: So I did.
- Classmate: He shoved me against a stall, warned me not to like him, and even threatened to pull my pants off.
- Classmate: I was so scared, I closed my eyes and didn't move an inch.
- Classmate: Then you booted him and he was out.
- Daley: ...
- Classmate: Bastard!
- Daley: If it wasn't for Shiro curbing my temper, I would've trashed that bastard long ago!
- Daley: Don't worry, just tell him you're my friend and he won't pick on you again.
- Classmate: (Shakes head) No, I'm calling myself bastard.
- Classmate: Chris tried to convince me to take interest in girls instead of in him.
- Classmate: (Resentful) I guess he felt disgusted that I like him...
- Classmate: (Resentful) But damn it, I didn't want to like him, either.
- Classmate: (Resentful) But it's just not something I could control!
- Daley: ...
- Daley: I think...
- Daley: Maybe he's not disgusted, just trying to scare you off?
- Classmate: You don't have to try making me feel better.
- Daley: Well, that's not all of it.
- Daley: Because I know his secret.
- Classmate: What secret?
- Daley: It's not my place to say.
- Daley: Anyway, don't hold a grudge.
- Daley: I mean, he didn't really strip you out of your pants.
- Classmate: Actually, I'd prefer it if he did strip me.
- Daley: ???
- Daley: Wait, that means I didn't do a chivalrous act but cockblocked you?
- Classmate: (Regretful) Thank you for coming to my aid. I should be going now.
- Daley: Oh, you're welcome. There won't be a next time, though.
- Classmate: (Distressed) Just don't kick him again, please.
- Daley: (Nods helplessly) ...
- Daley and his classmate split ways when Daley encounters Chris
- Chris: (Rubs skull) It hurt...
- Daley: (Guilty) Hey, wake up!
- Chris: Did you just kick me in the head?
- Daley: Uh, no.
- Daley: Your head hit my foot, actually.
- Daley: How much did you hear?
- Chris: Don't change the subject.
- Daley: Uh, are you all right?
- Chris: (Chuckles) You put quite a bit behind it.
- Daley: Why are you laughing?
- Daley: Stop!
- Chris: I'm laughing 'cuz you're pretty.
- Chris: No wonder you got a line of people waiting to let you copy their homework.
- Daley: ???
- Daley: Stay off of Shiro.
- Daley: Be serious!
- Daley: Don't do that again.
- Daley: You weren't like this when you were young.
- Chris: Don't do what?
- Chris: Spurning a love confession in anger?
- Chris: What was I like?
- Chris: You still remember when I was little?
- Daley: Yes, I remember it all.
- Daley: I remember you confessing your love to me and I rebuffing you in anger.
- Daley: Then you refused to hang out with me and started acting awkward when we ran into each other.
- Chris: It was tiresome trying to avoid you in the same little school.
- Daley: Sorry.
- Daley: My apologies.
- Daley: I didn't know any better then. It was my first time and from a boy too, so I didn't know what to do.
- Daley: Sorry for hurting you out of my own fear and insecurity.
- Daley: Seeing you going through the same with another boy interested in you...
- Daley: I feel guilty.
- Chris: You're premature with your apology.
- Chris: Let me ask you something.
- Chris: (Stern) What if I told you I'm still hopelessly in love with you...
- Chris: Would you feel better then?
- Daley: ...
- Daley: What's there to be mad about?
- Daley: There nothing you can do about it.
- Chris: (Relieved) Well, I gotta say you're very laidback.
- Chris: (Long sigh of relief) Maybe it's just me who's hung up and not moving on.
- Daley: (Mutters) I too have a crush on someone not interested in me. I can't do anything about that.
- Chris: So you will let me like you?
- Daley: (Nods) Yes. And don't you rebuff someone who likes you again.
- Chris: Deal!
- Chris: Although it's rather embarrassing to like you...
- Chris: But I feel much better now!
- Chris: Maybe I was actually hoping for this day when I was avoiding you the whole time.
- Daley: ...
- Chris walks away
- Daley spaces out before finally grasping the subtext of that confession.
- Daley: ???
- Scene - The present, at school
- Daley gets upset when recalling what Chris said to him...
- Daley: ...?
- Daley: Is it bad to like me?
- Player: Heh, why didn't you say that to him?
- Daley: I'm not as witty as Shiro.
- Player: ...
- Daley: Anyway, so after the restroom fight...
- Player: Be reasonable now. It was Chris who got beat up. He didn't start it.
- Daley: Uh... So after I beat Chris up, we let bygones be bygones.
- Player: Nice, you even know 'Let bygones be bygones' now!
- Daley: Heh! Chuck that one up to Shiro.
- Daley: Oh yeah, gotta tell you what's between me and Chris.
- Daley: Anyway, the biggest takeaway for me out of all this is...
- Daley: You gotta learn your language, especially reading comprehension.
- Daley: No idea how Chris sees it.
- Daley: I didn't mind him liking me, but I didn't encourage it, either!
- Daley: But then he kept hounding me.
- Daley: He either stared at me or followed me around.
- Daley: The problem is, he did it so proudly!
- Daley: To the point that Shiro kept asking me whether I was seeing someone else!
- Scene - The past, at the school library
- Shiro the Class Monitor deliberately set Daley up by sending him to sort books in the library and giving Chris another chance to provoke him.
- Daley: Don't you see I'm very busy?
- Chris: Noticed it when you were busy ignoring me.
- Daley: Oh, Chris...
- Daley: Why are you putting me on the spot?
- Daley: Me, I'm ugly, stupid, and dull as a doorknob.
- Daley: You don't have to have me just to be different.
- Chris: (Shakes head nonchalantly) Being different is not the reason, it's lust.
- Daley: Screw you, you just want to be different. You want to go after something unattainable!
- Chris: Okay, whatever you say.
- Chris: Why don't you bite me?
- Daley: I'll knock all your teeth out!
- Chris: (Taunt) Did you come here just to call me a shameless jerk?
- Daley: I didn't call you a shameless jerk.
- Daley: But I know you look like one!
- Chris: (Chuckles) Never mind, got something to tell you.
- Chris: I made up with that classmate of yours.
- Chris: I was going to trash-talk him so he'd be disappointed in me...
- Chris: So he'd leave me and stop spending time on someone who's not worthy.
- Chris: But because of what you said in the restroom that day, I changed my mind...
- Chris: I'm in love with a fool, so why should I stop someone from digging a thug like me?
- Daley: ...
- Chris: So, me and him reached an accord.
- Chris: He wants me, I want you. We'll see where the chips fall.
- Daley: ...
- Daley: Rummaging through someone's backpack and thumbing through sketchbook is the only way to know he likes you...
- Daley: Can he really forgive that?
- Chris: What sketchbook? I never looked at his sketchbook.
- Daley: ???
- Chris: It's not because of no sketchbook in no backpack!
- Chris: I noticed it long ago. The signs were too obvious.
- Daley: ...
- Chris: You felt it back then too, right, Daley?
- Chris: I just never could see you as a normal friend.
- Chris: Even though we've been through with each other for years and didn't see each other often.
- Chris: I never got over you and you probably know it too.
- Chris: How could I hide this? I'd only be lying to myself.
- Chris: It's my fault. I was too stupid and reckless back then.
- Chris: I confessed to you before you were ready and scared you off.
- Chris: If I just held it a little longer...
- Chris: Maybe I'd be your best friend right now.
- Chris: And there wouldn't be room for Shiro!
- Chris: I get angry when I think about how Shiro has you on a leash!
- Daley: ...
- Daley: Hey, Chris!
- Daley: Let me throw out a proposal here...
- Daley: How about you make friends with Shiro?
- Chris: Hell no, and there's nothing you can do about it!
- Daley: Make a post, tell the teacher, read the letter you wrote me when you were young to your people.
- Chris: (Suddenly compliant) I'll make friends.
- Chris: Just pick the time and I'll do it!
- Daley: Okay, I'll let you know.
- Chris: (Nods grudgingly with a forced smile...)
- Scene - The present, at school
- Daley: Even since I introduced Shiro to Chris, he never bothered me again.
- Choice B2.1 - What happened?
- Daley: Maybe he fell in love with Shiro?
- Player: ...
- Choice B2.2 - Did Shiro do something to him?
- Daley: (Shakes head) Shiro didn't show any interest...
- Daley: (Nods) It's him who got interested in Shiro!
- Player: Eh?
- Choice B2.3 - Did he do something to Shiro?
- Daley: Ha!
- Daley: He switched target and is hounding Shiro!
- Player: !!!
- Conversation continues after choices
- Daley: Well, that's to be expected, actually.
- Daley: Everyone who's ever interested in me inevitably dump me and moved on to Shiro!
- Choice B3.1 - Shouldn't you be depressed?
- Daley: I'm fine. Why do you ask?
- Daley: I'm actually all for it!
- Player: ...
- Choice B3.2 - Why do you look like you just ate a canary?
- Daley: Was it obvious?
- Player: Ok.
- Daley: Guess I can't hide it as well as I thought.
- Player: ...
- Conversation continues after choices
- Daley: It's not I don't want him to like me.
- Daley: But I should at least try to hook him up with someone more worthy.
- Daley: I have to respect his choice.
- Daley: Anyway, after the restroom fight...
- Daley: Other than Shiro, I can face anyone with a clean conscience!
- Daley: I don't get it...
- Daley: Who would blow this chivalrous act out of proportion and snitch me out to the teacher?
- Choice B4.1 - Could it be that classmate of yours?
- Daley: Impossible.
- Daley: He doesn't have the guts.
- Daley: He wouldn't want more people to know what happened with him and Chris in the restroom.
- Daley: Plus, he thanked me for it.
- Daley: Nah, can't be him.
- Choice B4.2 - Could it be Chris?
- Daley: Impossible.
- Daley: After we talked it over in the restroom, Chris finally got over it.
- Daley: I apologized for the kick, but he never thinks anything of it.
- Daley: I even offered my ass for him to literally kick as payback.
- Daley: He did slap it, eventually.
- Daley: Anyway, he's not someone who would go crying to the teacher.
- Daley: Whoever told on me couldn't have been him.
- Choice B4.3 - Could it be someone else who didn't know the whole picture?
- Daley: That's possible.
- Daley: I'm guessing the same thing.
- Daley: Sigh, fine...
- Daley: I can't blame whoever reported me.
- Daley: He must feel he was doing the right thing.
- Player: ...
- Choice B4.4 - It could just be something else.
- Daley: Huh?
- Daley: If it isn't about that...
- Daley: Then I'm clueless.
- Daley: I mean, what else can it be?
- You want to discuss plans privately, but hear footsteps approaching...
- Conversation continues after choices
- Shiro walks in on Daley and Player
- Daley: Shiro?!
- Shirou: (Incredulous) The teacher wants your parents, but you got Player.
- Daley: Shhhh!
- Player: Huh? What are you doing here, Shiro?
- Shirou: I just went to the teacher's office...
- Shirou: The school is having a drama competition. The teacher wants me to write a play and direct the class.
- Daley: Go, Shiro, I believe in you! You will lead our class to the top! Yeah!
- Shirou: Will you object if I choose you for a role in the play, Daley?
- Daley: Whatever. You write, I repeat.
- Shirou: No, I want to hear your opinion too.
- Daley: Forget it. You get good scores. I don't think I can pretend that well.
- Shirou: You can.
- Shirou: You're indeed perfectly suited to play the slut role.
- Player: Why do you look like you want to chew Shiro out?
- Daley: ...
- Shirou: Tell me, Player...
- Shirou: What role do you feel I should play?
- Player: Hmm, I gotta mull it over.
- Daley: I'll answer that!
- Daley: You're perfect to play a good guy, Shiro!
- Shirou: ...
- Player: That sounded like an insult somehow.
- Daley: Oops, did I say something wrong again?
- Player: What's the matter with you two?
- Player: Why are you so weird today?
- Daley: (Whispers) He's annoyed at me...
- Daley: (Resigned) I've been feeling awkward around him lately, trying to figure out how to appease him...
- Shirou: Appease or atone?
- Daley: Atone, definitely atone.
- Daley: I bought a bunch of your favorite peaches yesterday, Shiro.
- Daley: If I can come out of the office alive...
- Daley: I'll come back and peel them for you, even feed you!
- Shirou: Let me ask you one thing.
- Shirou: You shot so many candid photos of me in secret, but didn't save yourself any?
- Daley: Nope. I sold all of them to Chris.
- Shirou: (Sigh) ...
- Daley: And I regret doing it now.
- Daley: Shirou...
- Daley: There's no sincerity in everything you said recently.
- Daley: You haven't been on my case about studying lately. Are you disappointed in me?
- Daley: I'm guessing Chris has been seeing you of late?
- Shirou: You couldn't wait to get rid of me. Isn't it a bit too late for that now?
- All Choices: Choice B5.1 - "Aha, I know what's the problem between you now." OR Choice B5.2 - "Explain to me what's the problem between you?"
- No additional dialog
- Conversation continues after choices
- Shirou: It's that Chris!
- Shirou: He knows all my personal details, even my daily routines and everything!
- Shirou: The guy is obviously prepared and well-coached, evident by how he weaseled out of it!
- Player: I think that paid coach is probably Daley.
- Shirou: I'm so mad at Daley! What did I do to deserve this?
- Daley: (Coughs) We don't owe each other anything.
- Shirou: What do you think is between us?
- Shirou: What kind of relationship do you think we have?
- Daley: The kind that I can sleep in your arms after a fight like nothing happened!
- Shirou: ...
- Daley: How about I cover for you, Shiro?
- Daley: I can distract him so you can run.
- Shirou: Finally, something sensible out of your mouth.
- Shirou: I'll figure it out. You should go to the office now.
- Daley: (Sigh of relief) Okay, I'm gonna take that as you're forgiving me!
- Shirou: It's either that or a heart attack from sheer frustration.
- Player: ...
- All Choices: Choice B6.1 - "You got a glib tongue, Daley!" OR Choice B6.2 - "You have no shame, Daley!"
- No additional dialog
- Conversation continues after choices
- Daley: Heh, heh.
- Shirou: Oh, another thing...
- Shirou: The teacher mentioned you when I was in the office.
- Daley: Really? What was it? You gotta let me know!
- Shirou: Your grades are getting a lot worse and I should do something about it.
- Player: Uh, anything else?
- Shirou: Nope.
- Player: Nothing about fighting?
- Shirou: Nope.
- Shirou: He was in a fight?
- Shirou: How come I don't know about that?
- Daley: Uh, don't sweat it.
- Daley: I'll tell you about it later.
- Daley: So...
- Daley: So the teacher only wanted to talk to my parents about my test score?
- Shirou: Very likely.
- Shirou: What else is there?
- Shirou: I'm supposed to help you with your studying, Daley. So tell me, how would you like me to do that?
- Shirou: We're seated by grades, so we're going to too far apart for me to help you.
- Daley: ...
- Daley: That means you can't keep pulling ranks and assigning me to sit with you.
- Daley: Then force me to become an A-student like you!
- Daley: Our minds work very differently...
- Daley: I 'overachieved' on my tests before.
- Daley: This time, I thought I had boned up really well and would try to do the test on my own!
- Daley: Who knew I'd do worse than random guesses!
- Shirou: I took the risk of slipping you my answers to copy, only for you to ignore it and try to prove yourself?
- Player: Eh?
- Player: That's cheating! With the Class Monitor, even!
- Daley: Can you blame me for him wanting to sit with me in class?
- Daley: I took the test the right way and he gets on my case for that?
- Shirou: (Sheepish) Ahem, I already made a suggestion to the teacher.
- Shirou: It's not fair to arrange seating by grades. Students must be able to help each other.
- Shirou: It is now seating on a bell curve. First place sits with last place and so forth.
- Shirou: You don't have to copy my test next time, so you're on your own.
- Shirou: Don't keep coming in second to last. Fall one place backwards and you're set!
- Daley: Yeah, got it, I'll work on that.
- Player: Uh, is it possible...
- Player: The reason why Daley's parents are called...
- Player: Is not only his grades are failing, but someone accused him of cheating on a test?
- Daley: ...
- Shirou: Cheating is more serious than fighting.
- Shirou: You just get a warning for your first fight.
- Shirou: They will expel you if they prove you cheated.
- Player: Really? That bad?
- Daley: It's not like it would never happen.
- Daley: I do cheat quite often, so it's only how long before I get caught...
- Shirou: Well, if it's really about that, just blame me, tell them I forced you to copy it off me. Got it?
- Daley: Of course...
- Daley: (Muttering) You did force me in the first place...
- Player: That's not a good idea. It could save Daley, but might get Shiro expelled!
- Daley: Don't worry about him, Player.
- Daley: (Complains) He's a model student and will get preferential treatment.
- Daley: Teacher wouldn't listen to me and will just grill me:
- Daley: 'So what did you do to Shiro to get him to sacrifice himself on your behalf?'
- Daley: (Sad) So it will all be on me, anyway.
- Daley: (Panic) You gotta help me out, Player!
- Player: Alright...
- Shirou: If you mess up and raise any suspicions about your identity...
- Shirou: Just say the Class Monitor will vouch and I'll cover for you.
- Player: Okay, perfect!
- Shirou: Thanks much for the favor, Player!
- Shirou: Please help them out when you go. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
- Daley: Don't you worry, Player will take good care of me!
- Daley: I trust Player more than anyone other than you!
- Shirou: Don't try to butter me up. You left Shawn out on purpose.
- Daley: Why aren't you going with the flow?
- Shirou: Yep, you left Shawn out on purpose.
- Daley: Are you done, Shiro?
- Daley: Why the jealousy now?
- Daley: Is it interesting to invade my privacy?
- Shirou: Are you still going on about the diary, Daley?
- Shirou: You better believe it!
- Daley: (Interrupts) You should leave now!
- Daley: You're in my and Player's way.
- Shirou: Humph!
- Shiro leaves
- Player: Does this mean you've made up or are fighting again? Or has the relationship never improved?
- Daley: I lost my diary a while back and I suspect Shiro took it.
- Daley: I blame the loss on him insisting on mentioning Shawn!
- Player: It's suffocating stuck between you two.
- Daley: I think you're the best. I never have problems with you.
- Player: Stop with the flattery!
- Player: Anyway, which way to the teacher's office?
- Daley: So nervous...
- Daley: Follow me...
- Player: (Deep breath) Give us liberty or give us death!
- Daley: (Determined) Yes!
- Go to Part 2
-Part 2
- Scene - School library
- Daley: That's my teacher over there.
- Player: (Whispers) He seems nice enough.
- Daley: (Shakes head and whispers) He's nice to students with good grades and could make him look good...
- Player: ...
- Daley and Player walk up to his teacher
- Daley: Hello, sir. We're here...
- Teacher: (Surprised) Huh?
- Teacher: (Surprised) Your parent seems very young, Daley!
- Daley: I forgot to introduce you to...
- Daley: This is my brother!
- Daley: My genuine big brother whom Shiro can absolutely vouch for!
- Player: (Awkward yet polite smile) Hello. I'm Daley's brother.
- Teacher: Ah, hello, hello!
- Teacher: I asked you to come so we can talk about...
- Choice 1.1 - (Get moral high ground by ripping Daley first.)
- Daley: Achoo!
- Teacher: (Panicked) You're reading too much into it!
- Teacher: (Awkward) I don't feel Daley is as worthless as you make him out to be...
- Teacher: (Kindly) He still has his good points!
- Teacher: I want to share with you one of his specialties that I recently discovered.
- Teacher: I wanted you here so I could praise him in front of you.
- Player: Eh?
- Daley: What?
- Choice 1.2 - (Pretend to be ignorant and don't interrupt the teacher.)
- Teacher: (Kindly) I want to talk about Daley's talent that I noticed lately...
- Player: ...
- Daley: What?
- Teacher: His writing skill has vastly improved!
- Teacher: I plan on entering his composition into the Elysiann Youth Essay Competition!
- Teacher: And I want to be his personal instructor and mentor! Is that okay with you?
- Player: !!!
- Conversation continues after choices
- Choice 2.1 - Uh, yeah, great! We'll go with that!
- Teacher: I'm very grateful for your permission and support!
- Daley: What?
- Choice 2.2 - I think Shiro's a better pick!
- Teacher: (Hurt) Oh, I see...
- Teacher: That's why I asked you to come so I can convince you in person!
- Teacher: Why would anyone give away opportunities for their own child?
- Daley: I'm chosen?!
- Conversation continues after choices
- Daley: Which one do you like?
- Daley: Is it 'I Love My Family'? 'I Love My School'? Maybe even 'I Love Ka'?
- Daley: I don't remember you ever giving my writing a passing grade...
- Teacher: No, I didn't like any of those essays.
- Teacher: I'm talking about the one you just turned in...
- Daley: ???
- Teacher: It seems Daley has been working too hard and lost track of a few things.
- Teacher: That's all right. I'll help you.
- Teacher: I'll be complimenting you on your work before your parent.
- Daley: ...
- The teacher picks up Daley's essay book and starts reciting.
- Teacher: I can't possibly be the only one in the world to be interested in two boys at the same time, right?'
- Player: ???
- Daley: (Panicked) No, teacher!
- Daley: (Panicked) Don't read it!
- The teacher is too fixated on the text to hear Daley's plead and continues reading out loud.
- Teacher: 'Damn you, Shawn!'
- Daley: Please stop!
- Daley: Quit reading!
- Player: What cruel punishment is this?
- Player: You're a versatile writer, Daley!
- Daley: (Desperate) Oh my God, I turned the wrong one in!
- Daley: (Howls) I turned my diary in instead of the writing assignment!
- Daley: How embarrassing!
- Teacher: (Surprised) Did you not like this piece of writing?
- Teacher: (Kindly) Don't be hard on yourself. Can I be honest and say something?
- Daley: (Mutters) You probably shouldn't...
- Teacher: I've been there, I understand how it is.
- Teacher: This is precious life experience!
- Teacher: See, your recent emotional roller coaster...
- Teacher: Made your writing come off articulate and authentic!
- Teacher: It is truly a moving piece!
- Daley: (Hopelessly) Huh?
- Player: Are you joking?
- Player: You really want to pick this for the essay competition?
- Player: Uh, the essay may not be suitable...
- Teacher: (Excited) That's fine!
- Teacher: As the instructing mentor, I'll work with him on the revisions!
- Teacher: It will be a masterful essay with slight modifications.
- Player: Really? Is that legal?
- Teacher: (Excited) Don't worry, it's nothing no one's done before.
- Teacher: (Excited) Let me demonstrate with this sentence.
- Teacher: (Clears throat) Ahem.
- Teacher: 'I can't possibly be the only one in the world to be interested in two boys at the same time, right?'
- Teacher: We can change it to 'I can't possibly be the only one in the world to love my hometown yet aspires to be somewhere far away, right?'
- Teacher: Next, 'Damn you, Shawn, listen up! I just want you to like me, nothing else is important.'
- Teacher: Change it to 'Dear Ka, do you hear me? I...'
- Player: (Desperate) Okay, okay, I believe you!
- Player: On behalf of our parents, I grant you the permission to revise the essay however you like!
- Daley: Yeah, I'm with... my brother.
- Daley: I'll agree to anything, just don't read it anymore!
- Player: ...
- Daley: It's getting late, so can we leave? My brother is taking me out to dinner tonight.
- Teacher: Sure. Thanks for coming!
- Teacher: Would you like me to walk you out?
- The teacher takes Daley by the hand and goes to town with compliments, walking us from the office all the way to the front gate.
- Scene - School front gate
- Teacher: Daley!
- Teacher: If happiness is the source of inspiration, pain is the waterfall of emotions.
- Teacher: I wish you can get over your crush soon.
- Teacher: I look forward to more great writing from you!
- Daley: (Forced smile) Sure. Thanks.
- Daley: See you...
- Teacher: See you later!
- The teacher walks off
- Player: Your teacher sure could pander!
- Daley: Oh man...
- Daley: I'm still in a daze.
- Daley: And got the diary I've been missing back.
- Daley: And nothing about fighting or cheating on test was ever said, then praises on top?
- Player: All that worry for nothing!
- Player: Uh, Daley?
- Player: Didn't you say in the office that you're treating me to dinner?
- Player: Was that just an excuse to leave, or did you really mean it?
- Daley: Yeah, and thanks for helping out!
- Daley: I already made a dinner reservation. This way, my buddy!
- Player: ...
- Bantering while on the way to the restaurant...
-Choice A - What signature dish do you recommend for the restaurant?
- Daley: Hey, that restaurant's signature dishes are all my favorites!
- Daley: Pig trotters with parsley, boiled bullfrog with bitter melon, stinky mandarin fish...
- Player: Uh...
- Daley: Oh, can you stand spicy food, Player?
- Daley: The spicy seafood soup here is superb! My stomach hurts for days every time I ate it!
- Daley: If you have any tummy issues after eating it, come see me for the cure anytime!
- Player: ...
- Scene ends
-Choice B - Where we going after we eat?
- Daley: Hmm, let me think... I know, I'll take you to Elysiann Beach and pick coconuts!
- Daley: We can drink coconut milk while waiting for Shiro to get out of school. Then I'll introduce you to a few buddies.
- Daley: If we get enough people, we could get a game of beach volleyball or soccer going. How's that?
- Daley: If you want to learn to swim, I can teach you, too!
- Player: ...
- Scene ends
-Choice C - Were you scared back there?
- Daley: What exactly are you referring to, Player?
-Choice C.1 - About being called a parent...
- Daley: Yeah, that's right!
- Daley: I almost panicked when I was called a 'parent.'
- Player: Fortunately, it turned out well.
- Daley: Yeah, we got to really celebrate with a feast!
- Choice C.1.1 - What signature dish do you recommend for the restaurant?
- Go to Choice A
- Choice C.1.2 - Where we going after we eat?
- Go to Choice B
-Choice C.2 - About having the diary read out loud...
- Daley: It was awkward.
- Daley: Good thing you stopped him from reading, or I would've been looking for a hole in the ground to hide myself in!
- Daley: This has taught me a huge lesson. I'll make sure I turn the right thing in from now on.
- Player: ...
-Choice C.2.1 - It's over, turn a new leaf and move on.
- Daley: Hm...
- Daley: I'll guard my diary and make sure not to give it away by mistake.
- Daley: That way, no one will see my private thoughts.
- Daley: I'll find a chance to apologize to Shiro.
- Daley: You're right, Player. We've turned over a new leaf. I should stop dwelling on it.
- Daley: Some things are solely my burden to bear. I don't want you to share my torment with me.
- Daley: Come on, let's eat and then hang out!
- Daley: (Cheering himself up) ...
- Player: There you go!
- Scene ends
-Choice C.2.2 - About that diary...
- Go to Part 3
-Part 3
- Player: About that diary...
- Player: The two guys you were interested in...
- Player: One is Shawn. Is Shiro the other?
- Daley: (Nervous) Uh...
- Daley: (Sighs) Well...
- Daley: Am I a mess, Player?
- Player: Why would you say that?
- Daley: (Tormented) I'm not sure, either, because I can't figure it out...
- Daley: (Tormented) I can't figure out which one of them is my best friend, and which is the bestest friend.
-Choice A - Then don't even try. Have a good time and don't think about it.
- Daley: Okay, I'll listen to you.
- Daley: Some things are solely my burden to bear. I don't want you to share my torment with me.
- Daley: Come on, let's eat and then hang out!
- Daley: (Cheering himself up) ...
- Player: There you go!
- Scene ends
-Choice B - Is there a difference between best and bestest?
- Daley: (Determined) Yeah!
- Daley: (Stern) It's not the same.
- Daley: (Dejected) It would be hard to be fair if you don't think about both sides.
- Daley: But I never know what is best to do... And my heart doesn't know who to step away from.
- Daley: Before meeting Shawn, I thought Shiro was all I'd need in this world.
- Daley: But when I ran across an injured Shawn from the sea...
- Daley: And over the time that I constantly cared for him...
- Daley: I gradually became a terrible person.
- Daley: My 'friendships' were in danger!
- Daley: Seeing them both at once turns my heart into a knot.
- Daley: I couldn't hide it, so Shiro and Shawn suffered with me too.
- Daley: (Whispers) At first, I tried forcing myself into making a choice...
- Daley: But...
- Daley: (Dejected) But I'm the worst at making choices...
- Player: ...
- Scene - The past, at a pool
- Daley recalled how troubled he was...
- Shawn: Why not get Shiro, Daley?
- Shawn: Aren't you practically inseparable?
- Daley: (Pouting) You should learn to swim...
- Daley: Or there might not be anyone around to save you next time you fall into the river.
- Shawn: (Scratching head) Oh.
- Daley jumped into the pool and then beckoned Shawn to come in.
- Shawn obeyed, diving into the pool and flailed a bit.
- Shawn: When have you ever seen anybody learn to swim in a bathing pool, Daley?
- Daley: (Matter of fact) You're human.
- Shawn: Haha... OW! (Laughter causing his wound to tear with pain) All right, I can't outtalk you.
- Daley: Oh, your cut is not healed yet!
- Daley: (Pouting) Does it still hurt?
- Shawn: Yeah.
- Daley: You still smiling even when it hurts?
- Shawn: I'm laughing at myself, since I'm the first person to learn to swim in a bathhouse with a wound!
- Daley: I'm sorry.
- Shawn: I'm fine, Daley. I was kidding. I haven't felt pain in a long time.
- Daley: I forgot you were hurt, or I wouldn't drag you into holding your breath with me...
- Shawn: Holding your breath? Why do you need to do that?
- Daley's face, red from the steam, was full of sincerity.
- Daley: Shawn, do you remember when I told you that Shiro is like air to me?
- Daley: So I'm learning to hold my breath.
- Daley took a deep breath and plunged his head into the water.
- Shawn watched the bubbles rise and spread out, then sighed through the steam off the surface.
- Shawn: Even if you mastered holding your breath, Daley, you still can't do it for a lifetime.
- For a while, it seemed like Daley's head wasn't going to come back up.
- Shawn covered his belly wound with one hand and pulled the reluctant Daley out with the other.
- Daley: (Coughing twice and sniffling) Shawn...
- Shawn: I'm still here, Daley.
- Daley: I can't live without air, but I also don't want to abandon you...
- Shawn: Daley...
- Shawn: Even though I don't understand what you're saying...
- Shawn: But...
- Daley: (Expectant) But what?!
- Shawn: But air is more important, isn't it?
- Daley: Huh?
- Daley: (Forcibly) Yeah... You're right.
- Shawn: ...
- Daley rubbed his eyes forcefully to stop the tears from flowing and put on a happy face.
- Daley: Shawn.
- Daley: Do you see me as a friend?
- Shawn: What nonsense are you spewing now?
- Daley: Then stop seeing me like a brother!
- Shawn: Huh?
- Shawn: Why do you say that?
- Daley: It's just...
- Daley: (Looking away) It's too hard being a brother, so I won't.
- Shawn: ...
- Scene - The present, at a restaurant
- Daley: With Shiro, he could get what I was thinking without me saying much.
- Daley: But it doesn't affect how I just can't shut up around Shiro.
- Daley: But when you remember Shawn...
- Daley: Sometimes, it feels like a thousand words couldn't encapsulate my feelings.
- Daley: I can't say it. I couldn't say it well, anyway...
- Player: Daley, I don't think you need to obsess over it...
- Player: You're obviously a choice and not the chooser.
- Daley nods and shrugs in agreement, then calmly continues.
- Daley: Yeah, that's what I said!
- Daley: So, I really tried!
- Daley: I gave up being a big brother to Shawn to try and get closer to him.
- Daley: But he still refused, insisting on calling me his big brother and pushing me away...
- Daley: We're only one year apart in age, not enough for me to be a big brother.
- Daley: Shawn clearly meant, 'You're the big brother. How can you move in on the little brother?'
- Daley: We're civil, polite, somewhat estranged. There's no way to become closer.
- Player: ...
- Choice B1.1 - Could you be reading too much into it?
- Daley: (Firmly) No way!
- Daley: I was stunned when he said he didn't understand and told me to choose the air...
- Daley: It was only then that reality started to hit me...
- Daley: If Shawn would say something like that, I clearly didn't know him.
- Daley: Wouldn't Shawn be the same regardless of if he was in Elysiann or not?
- Daley: I've never seemed to know the real him, but I grouped him with Shiro in my heart.
- Choice B1.2 - Did Shawn call Shiro 'big brother' too?
- Daley: (Scratching head) Hmm...
- Daley: At first I thought Shawn was more partial to Shiro...
- Daley: But then I started thinking he was clearly more partial to me!
- Daley: Maybe he wasn't interested in either Shiro or me.
- Choice B1.3 - Did things turn sour between you and Shawn after that?
- Daley: Hee, no!
- Daley: (Sighs) Since then, I've done away with my lust for Shawn.
- Daley: But I'll still treat him well!
- Daley: I can't help but feel happy when I'm good to him.
- Daley: But I don't dare look in his eyes anymore. I might get lost in them.
- Conversation continues after choices
- Daley: (Sigh) ...
- Daley: This is the first time I've ever wanted someone so much.
- Daley: I yearn for him without knowing anything. At first I thought I was yearning for his lifestyle.
- Daley: But I'm also doing well with my life.
- Daley: I tried to show him my best, pull him closer to me and prove how nice Elysiann is, convincing him to give up his lifestyle.
- Daley: But it was all in vain...
- Daley: If I can change Shawn, he's not the Shawn I want.
- Player: ...
- Player: Have you thought about Shawn recently?
- Daley: Hm...
- Daley placed a finger over his heart.
- Daley: It races when I think of him, and hurts from time to time.
- Player: What comes to mind?
- Daley: How he came and went.
- Daley: Sometimes I'd feel wronged...
- Daley: Because I didn't choose him, he barged into my life.
- Daley: He annoyed me, only to leave right after.
- Player: ...
- Daley: He's a ray of light that burst into my otherwise serene life.
- Daley: No one else has brought me such joy.
- Daley: I can still remember every happy moment we spent together.
- Daley: Sure, it's joy, but the pure delight I feel with Shiro is different.
- Daley: With Shawn, happiness was always shrouded in a mass of fog.
- Daley: (Confounded) But that's too complicated for me to articulate...
- Daley: My heart would be sated, until suddenly, it was one big void again...
- Daley: Shiro said that is called suffering.
- Daley: When Shiro asked me why I panicked over the feeling, I couldn't really explain why...
- Daley: I didn't know what was I really panicking about.
- Player: Did you want Shawn to stay? Were you afraid he'd leave?
- Daley: (Nods before shaking his head) ...
- Daley: From the first time I saw him, I readied myself to say goodbye.
- Daley: So why can't I just let go...?
- Daley: He spoke of gratitude when he left.
- Daley: Is feeling lost and angry 'gratitude?'
- Daley: But I can't fault him for not being able to say what I wanted to hear...
- Daley: Actually, I wouldn't feel satisfied no matter what he would've said.
- Daley: I couldn't sleep at all that night.
- Daley: I curled up, shaking with anger, and let out a long sigh.
- Daley: I was surprised by how I felt...
- Daley: That ray of light is about to disappear and never come back.
- Daley: And that light will take a piece of my heart with it.
- Daley: On one hand, I feel like I've been torn apart, but on the other hand, I eagerly await his departure.
- Daley: I will only be freed from my fear on Judgment Day.
- Player: Guess you can't bear losing him, after all.
- Player: Why not take the initiative? If you can't keep him here, you could at least go with him...
- Daley: (Shakes head) But I got my own life. I have Shiro and Elysiann.
- Daley: I can be happy without Shawn, it's just...
- Daley: I'll always feel like something's missing.
- Player: ...
