Welcome.

Were you surprised to find me here?

Aha, but of course.

No one expects to see me... I don't blame you for being so shocked.

…

Well, what do you say?

Do you want... to see it?

• Yes
• No

Ah... aha...! I should have expected no less from a super high schooler like yourself.

Right this way, then.

…

Keep your eyes straight ahead. Don’t stray far from me.

Are you afraid?

Haha...! Do not despair.

Walk faster.

…

We are here... at its core.

This is it... do you see now... after all this time...?

This is where hope is manufactured.

Isn't it... (he tears up) beautiful...?

• Yes
• No
• I don't see anything

Oh... you don’t want to see it?

…

Well, that’s quite alright.

Don’t worry about it. Really!

Never tell this to anyone.

So... then why are you here?

• I don't know
• Why am I here?

Ahaha... ha... Surely you must be jesting...?

• Yes
• No

Ahaha... haha...! I’m so glad you understand.

It brings me... so much joy... to be here...

(he cradles himself and looks up at the large machine ahead of you both)

Imagine... This is where all human joy originates...

(the mechanical whirring drowns out his voice) To create something so splendid...

...Why, it's so marvelous!

When you see it... do you feel...?

• Warm and fuzzy
• Hope
• Fear

…

Oh, I'm sorry.

You shouldn't be here.

No...

This was a mistake.

An oversight this grave...

Can you pretend you never saw this, for me?

Hahaha... You fill my insides up with what I imagine the equivalent of "hope" to feel like.

But now you have to leave.

Please don't tell anyone about this.

...Hahaha...

Wouldn't that be funny...? If I brought you all this way, just to send you back...?

No. That wasn't my intention. Ahaha...

You're going to see this... If it's the last thing I can do...

Ah... You must be confused, hm?

Ah... You mean you really don't know?

It'll make sense in time.

Don't worry.
