Part 14: First Playthrough - 12 AM (♃ + ♆)

[MUSIC: Greenhouse]



Jupiter and Neptune left the competition in the dust, to nobody's surprise. At midnight, choice is an illusion.



[MUSIC: God Is Already Warning Us]

^^^ I HIGHLY recommend you play this for this scene, in case you've been skipping my music/sound effect links for whatever reason.

(the soundtrack's good though you've been missing out)





♃: Oh no.



♃: Oh. I see.
♃: Or, I feel, I guess. I can't see.
♆: ...we are close.



♃: So...
♃: ...um, Neptune—
♆: Shh.
♃: No, I—
♆: Here—
♆: Ah.
♆: Oh.
♃: Wow.
♃: I—



♆: That's right. No one can prove it.
♃: No one except us.
♆: It's your word against mine.
♆: A double lock. So it never happened unless we both say it did.
♃: Neither of us is going to be that stupid, right?
♆: Of course. We both know better.
♃: I'm, um, kind of an idiot though.
♆: You liar. You're much better at keeping yourself quiet.
♆: I never would have if I knew you might be stupider than even me.
♃: Sorry.
♃: I'm just so—
♆: Some things can't be taken back. There are things worse than saying it directly, you know.
♃: Like "this feels right."
♆: And "I'm just so happy."
♆: Exactly, what are you thinking saying things like that.
♃: I'm not.
♃: I'm not saying them.
♃: They're things anyone could have said about anybody.
♃: They're just in the air.
♃: "You mean so much to me."



♃: Not that I'm saying it.
♆: ...you get it.
♆: The midwest is great. All you have to do is not say it out loud.
♆: It's like a spell. And you can be as obvious as you want about everything else.
♆: You can wait it out forever. As long as you don't say it.
♃: I hope I can.
♃: But even if I don't say it, I still feel it.
♃: Like a hand in the air.
♃: Holding tight.
♆: It's okay.
♃: Is it?
♆: I said it's okay, so it's okay. Stop talking. Stop talking forever.
♆: I'm drunk. You're drunk. Can't see anything, double lock, nothing is happening.
♆: Your hands, either way...



♃: You're right.
♃: This is nothing.
♆: Ah.
♃: And this.
♆: Oh.
♃: This too.
♆: You get it. Oh. Exactly. Just...nothing.
♆: Like that hand in the air, you might think you're feeling it, but...
♃: ...it's nothing.
