Part 10: First Playthrough - 10 PM (♀ + ♆)

[MUSIC: Victim of Circumstance]



We've got a winner in Venus and Neptune. Jupe's gonna hold down the fort while they go for a brisk walk.



♀: Oh, okay...
♆: This is so unfair.
♃: It'll be fine, they won't get me that easily. I'll broadcast from my radio, and you'll be able to hear it and come home.
♀: It won't be hard.
♆: But I don't want to do it.





Don't walk off the path. Keep the lights on. Don't let the devil in your heart.

Anyone can do that.

[MUSIC: The Sirens]



♀: Mmm? Oh, I know...sorry. I started trying to convince her we should stay, once I realized what you were doing.
♀: She likes being alone though, so I think she'll be okay.
♆: It's fine. It was silly to try. She's too responsible.
♀: ...do you think she hates us.
♀: It's not even her fault she's at the Summer Scouts, like it's ours—
♆: Venus can you shut up? Please?
♀: Oh. Sorry.
♆: Jupiter doesn't hate anyone. She's like an ascetic monk at not giving a shit.
♆: People stop walking over her because she's doesn't care enough for them to get a rise and that's the only reason people do that.
♆: It's so annoying. Why do you care about what she thinks?
♀: I don't know...I think she's cool? I don't wanna be a bother.
♆: Ugh of course she's cool. She's just all half smile and 'ah, sorry,' and no one bugs her about anything ever. Do you not kinda hate that she's so cool?
♀: Why? I wish I could be like that.



♆: No one is that invincible. If it hurts you should say so!
♆: People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
♆: You too Venus! Have a little more self-respect.
♀: I know that.
♀: It's not like...I'm stupid. You know. I worry about her too, you know?
♀: Don't you want to at least make stuff a little easier for her?



♆: I want to make it so bad she has to say it. I want to hear it out loud.
♆: She shouldn't keep living like she's never going to get it off the tip of her tongue.



♀: I...don't think she's ever going to.
♀: I really do. Wish I was like her a little.
♀: But still—
♀: I'm a little glad I'm not her.
♀: I wonder if maybe she wishes sometimes she wasn't her either.
♆: Maybe.
♆: A lot I bet.
♆: Maybe all the time.
♀: Do you ever feel like that?
♆: Do I ever what?
♀: ...sorry, I...
♆: What, do you?
♀: I—
♀: I do, yeah.
♆: ...
♆: ...
♆: Let's head back.



♆: I do too.
♆: It's normal.
