THE EMPTY-HEARTED GIRL AND THE RAINBOW FRAGMENTS

Poyoko: (My whole body's so hot...)
Poyoko: (It feels like... something inside me... is on fire...)

Cultists: GOOD MORNING, SAVIOR!

Cultists: We're ever so sorry for being so rude to abduct you!
Cultists: We only wanted to protect you.
Poyoko: Who are you...?
Cultists: We are Return To Void, Savior!

Poyoko: Return To Void?
Cultists: What?! You haven't heard of us?!
Cultists: Oh Savior, you're so ignorant.
Cultists: Ignorance is bliss...
Cultists: I wanna be ignorant...
Cultists: No, everyone, it's only natural she doesn't know! Don't you remember Lord Ghost told us how our Savior came from another world?
Cultists: Oh, right!
Cultists: Then, allow me to explain!!!

Cultists: I shall start from the beginning of our world!
Cultists: At the beginning, the world was void.
Cultists: There was no morning, no night... no land, no water... no living things, no colors... nothing existed here.

Cultists: But then, the three kings appeared.
Cultists: The Sun King created the day...
Cultists: The Moon King created the night...
Cultists: And the Rainbow King created color. They gave these things to the world.

Cultists: When they did that, the void was sealed away so that it could never spread again.
Cultists: So mean!
Cultists: After that, the world developed rapidly--the land appeared, the waters flowed, living creatures were born... and it became the world we know now!

Cultists: We of Return To Void are a group aiming to release the void from its seal.
Poyoko: Release... the void?
Cultists: We want to return to nothingness!
Cultists: We don't want to do anything and we don't want to think.
Cultists: O Savior, please give us emptiness!
Cultists: We want to erase the places we were born, the lives we've lived, and our very existence.

Cultists: Speaking of which!! Savior, we hear you don't have any emotions! Is that true?!
Cultists: She doesn't?! Incredible!!
Cultists: Do you really not feel anything no matter what anybody says to you?!
Cultists: Even if they're really mean?!
Cultists: I wanna be just like you!
Cultists: If someone was mean to me I'd worry about it all day...
Cultists: What's it like to have no emotions?! How can we get rid of ours?!

Poyoko: ...............I,
Poyoko: I don't know...
Cultists: OF COURSE NOT!
Cultists: It's just as Lord Ghost said!!
Cultists: She's so right...
Cultists: What a model answer...

Cultists: Savior, you're very closely related to the void!
Cultists: How wonderful!
Cultists: I wish that were me!
Poyoko: (...The pain keeps getting worse.)
Cultists: Aw man, what's taking the paddy wagon so long?
Cultists: Let's go check!

Fluffy Cultist: Um... Savior...
Fluffy Cultist: Please, give me emptiness... I was sold as a slave.
Fluffy Cultist: My parents abandoned me because my fur is an ugly color... then a merchant caught me and sold me.
Fluffy Cultist: But in the end the best price he could get for me was one potato...

Poyoko: (It's so hot...)
Fluffy Cultist: My life was torture... Please make it so none of this e...r happe.....d...
Poyoko: (My head feels so fuzzy...)
Poyoko: (I can't... hear anything...)

Fluffy Cultist: ...?
Fluffy Cultist: Savior...?
Poyoko?: I don't think it's as bad as all that.
Fluffy Cultist: Huh...
Poyoko?: Come with me.
Poyoko?: See?

Poyoko?: You sparkle all over when you stand in the light.
Fluffy Cultist?: Eh??
Poyoko?: See, here!
Fluffy Cultist?: Huh?!
Poyoko?: Oh, here too!
Poyoko?: I think you're beautiful. Very much so.
Fluffy Cultist: I'm... beautiful...? Y-you have to be lying...
Fluffy Cultist: 'Cause... no one's ever... never once...

Poyoko?: The color of your fur is irreplaceable.
Poyoko?: It's different from everyone else.
Poyoko?: This color is your individuality. It makes you special.
Fluffy Cultist: Me, special...?

Cultist: Hey you!!
Cultist: Grab the Savior and run!!
Cultist: It's HIM... it's Eba!

Cultist: UWAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa
[sfx: SNAP THUMP]
Cultist: gya

Eba: DAMMIT, POYOKO!! How long d'you think it took me to find you...?!

Poyoko?: Eba!
Eba: You... you're...

Fluffy Cultist: Ah...

Fluffy Cultist: (So that's Eba... RTV's worst enemy...)
Fluffy Cultist: (He's kidnapping the Savior!) W-wait!
Eba: Don't get in my way.
Fluffy Cultist: Eep!

Fluffy Cultist: Ah...
Poyoko?: You sparkle all over when you stand in the light.
Fluffy Cultist: My individuality... makes me special...
Fluffy Cultist: OH GOSH!! Where is everyone?!

Fluffy Cultist: AHH
Fluffy Cultist: H-hang in there, everybody...!
Cultists: Owie... He stepped on my face...
Cultists: Oh... So he kidnapped the Savior...
Fluffy Cultist: I'm so sorry...

Cultists: No matter how many times we fail, it still sucks...
Cultists: I wanna hole up somewhere...
Cultists: That damn Eba...
Cultists: He's such a pest!!
Cultists: OH! It's Lord Ghost!!
Cultists: You're right!!
Fluffy Cultist: Huh?
Cultists: Lord Ghost!!!!!

Cultists: We're so sorry, Lord Ghost.
Cultists: We caught the Savior for just a moment...
Cultists: Yeah! That darn Eba...!
Fluffy Cultist: Huh?
Fluffy Cultist: Huh...? Huh???
Fluffy Cultist: Lord Ghost... where are you...?

Cultists: You can't see Lord Ghost?
Fluffy Cultist: Uh...
Fluffy Cultist: I... I...
Cultists: Even though you know Lord Ghost is only visible to people who don't want to live... you...
Cultists: You feel hope, don't you?

Cultists: We of Return To Void... must always feel despair.
Fluffy Cultist: No... I...
Fluffy Cultist: What she said... just made me happy...
Cultists: Don't forget your days of suffering!!!
Cultists: Your parents abandoned you! You were sold as a slave! Everyone laughed at you! Everyone looked down on you!!

Fluffy Cultist: *sob*
Cultists: ..........We'll bring it all back.
Fluffy Cultist: Wait... N-no...
Fluffy Cultist: No! No! I don't want to remember!! No!!!!!!!!
Cultists: It'll be alright. Don't worry.

Cultists: You'll be back to normal soon.
