1

Robo-Nene

Listen

The home of the person who the zombies said could tell us something about that phoenix should be just up ahead.
2

Nene

Listen

Yeah, but...
3

Luka

Listen

This river's quite wide.
4

Tsukasa

Listen

What should we do...?
We can't cross here.
5

Rui

Listen

But I'm seeing some buildings on the other side, so there must be a bridge or crossing somewhere...
6

Nene

Listen

I'm not seeing any.
This seems weird...
7

Emu

Listen

Oh, everyone, look over there!
8

Nene

Listen

Huh? Is that...
9

Turtle Plushie A

The other side? Sure thing!
Get on my back!
10

Plushie A

Okay! Thank you so much!
11

Luka

Listen

Oh, I think that turtle is going to take them to the other side.
12

Len

Listen

That's so cool!
Do you think we can also get a ride?!
13

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, so that's how we're supposed to cross...
That explains the lack of bridges around here.
14

Emu

Listen

Then, let's go see if one of the other turtles will give us a ride across to the other side!
15

Nene

Listen

Yeah, since that's probably our only option.
16

Nene

Listen

But they all look really busy...
I hope we can find one that isn't...
17

MEIKO

Listen

Alright, let's split up and look for one who'd be willing to help us!
18

Luka

Listen

Okay.
Still...
19

Luka

Listen

Riding on a turtle's back sounds heavenly. The thought of being rocked to sleep on the water is so... Zzz... Zzz...♪
20

MEIKO

Listen

Wait, Luka! Don't doze off just thinking about it!
Several dozen minutes later

21

Robo-Nene

Listen

This is unfortunate...
All the turtles appear to be busy.
22

Nene

Listen

Yeah... But we need to get to the other side in order to learn more about that phoenix... We have to find a turtle who can help us.
23

Nene

Listen

That said, we've basically talked to every turtle here already...
24

Luka

Listen

We have...
25

Luka

Listen

Huh? Look, there's another turtle over there.
26

Nene

Listen

What...?
27

Turtle Plushie

...
28

Nene

Listen

You're right. What's it doing way over there...?
29

Robo-Nene

Listen

It seems to be staring at the river.
30

Nene

Listen

Why don't we try asking for a ride?
Umm...
31

Nene

Listen

Excuse me. Hello?
32

Turtle Plushie

Can I help you?
33

Nene

Listen

We're trying to get to the other side of the river... Could you possibly give us a ride?
34

Turtle Plushie

Umm...
35

Turtle Plushie

Sorry, I can't.
36

Turtle Plushie

Because... I...
37

Nene

Listen

Huh?
38

Turtle Plushie

I'll be going now.

Nene

Listen

Hey... Wait!
40

Nene

Listen

He left.
41

Luka

Listen

What's going on?
He sounded so sad for some reason.
42

Robo-Nene

Listen

He did.
That is somewhat concerning...
43

Robo-Nene

Listen

But we must focus on getting across to the other side. Let us find a different turtle.
44

Nene

Listen

Right...
A few minutes later
45

Turtle Plushie B

I'm sorry. I already promised some other plushies that I'd carry them across.
46

Nene

Listen

Okay...
I'm sorry for making such a sudden request.
47

Nene

Listen

*Sigh*
Still no luck...
48

Luka

Listen

These turtles all seem very popular.
49

Nene

Listen

Yeah...
Anyway, let's meet back up with Tsukasa and the others... Wait, huh?
50

Turtle Plushie

...
51

Luka

Listen

That turtle's staring at the river again.

52

Robo-Nene

Listen

Yes, with a rather serious expression.
53

Nene

Listen

What do you think's going on...?
54

Turtle Plushie B

He always does this.
55

Turtle Plushie B

He's scared of going in the water, but doesn't want to give up...
56

Nene

Listen

Give up...? On what?
57

Turtle Plushie B

His dream has always been to carry people across the river on his back.
58

Turtle Plushie B

But this big storm came by one day and caused the river to overflow. He's been too afraid to go back in the water ever since.
59

Luka

Listen

I see...
60

Nene

Listen

(He's scared...?)
61

Turtle Plushie B

Oh, sorry, I need to go.
I have an appointment to keep.
62

Nene

Listen

Oh, okay... Sorry for interrupting your business.

63

Robo-Nene

Listen

Is something the matter, Nene?
64

Nene

Listen

That turtle. I'm worried about him.
65

Nene

Listen

I think I know what he's going through...
66

Nene

Listen

He doesn't want to give up on what he loves, but is too afraid to act. I know that feeling all too well...
67

Luka

Listen

Nene...
68

Luka

Listen

Then, Nene...
If you're so worried, then why don't you try talking to him again?
69

Nene

Listen

Huh?
70

Luka

Listen

You know what he seems to be going through, so you may be in a position to show him some real empathy.
71

Nene

Listen

Luka...
72

Robo-Nene

Listen

I agree.
You should tell him how you felt back then.
73

Nene

Listen

Yeah, okay.
