Eba: Damn it...
Poyoko: (Even though I've felt this before, I'm not used to it...)
Poyoko: (The Void Egg is terrifying...)

Poyoko: (I'm scared... but... I can't stay here!)
Poyoko: (I can't leave them!)

THE EMPTY-HEARTED GIRL AND THE RAINBOW FRAGMENTS

Cultist Legion: WE'll brEAk it... BREAk brEaK breaK
Karako: (Their body's starting to dissolve from the strain of the fragments...)
Karako: (Finally, the bottom!) Just a little further! Hurry!
[sfx: slump...... splat]

Cultist Legion: huh? can't... move
Karako: WHAT?!
Karako: What are you doing?! Get up! We're so close!!
Karako: I said get up!! You're so useless!!

Cultist Legion: we're sorry... sor... we want to help...
Cultist Legion: don't hit us
Cultist Legion: don't leave us
Karako: SHUT UP!

Poyoko: Stop!
Karako: (Poyoko!)
Poyoko: Don't move! You'll die!
Karako: (Poyoko... she's glowing in rainbow colors...?!)

Karako: (Oh, I get it. You're getting in my way again, aren't you, Rainbow King!)
Cultist Legion: Don't stop us! We'll help! We can do it!
Eba: Poyoko, it's too late...
Poyoko: Wait, Eba...
Poyoko: Maybe you don't remember this...
Poyoko: But we've met before.

Poyoko: I'm glad I got to see you again. I've... wanted to tell you this for a long time.
Poyoko: Back then when the flower tried to eat me... You saved me. Thank you.
Cultist Legion: Sa...vior...

Cultist Legion: Are we... still... allowed to... be alive...?
Poyoko: Yeah!

Karako: DON'T! GIVE ME! THAT SHIT!!
Karako: Don't let her trick you! Are you members of RTV, or what?!
Karako: You give in to hope like this 'cause you're weak! That's why you have false hope that you might be happy!

Karako: Are you listening or what?! Say something!!
Poyoko: I have a question.
Poyoko: Karako-chan... Ghost... where is she?
Melty Cultist: We came here... together. I think...
Melty Cultist: She's still here...

Poyoko: Karako-chan?!
Poyoko: Where are you?!
Eba: Poyoko...
Poyoko: Karako-chan!
Karako: What are you saying? Poyoko...
Poyoko: Karako-chan! Karako-chan!!

Karako: (This is why...)
Karako: (This is why I don't want a heart...)

Poyoko: (Now what?! I knew it...)
Poyoko: (I can't see her...! I can't see Karako-chan!)
Poyoko: (She's so close! I promised the King...!)
Poyoko: (The King's power...! If I can just use more of it...!)

Poyoko: HNGH
Eba: Poyoko?!!
Eba: Hey... what are you... Cut that out!!
Poyoko: Eba! You still have one, right?! GIMME!
Eba: YEEK

Eba: I... I have one, but...
Eba: I can't give it to you.
Poyoko: Why?
Poyoko: Because then I'll turn into the Rainbow King?

Eba: Wh...
Eba: Why... do you know...
Poyoko: The Rainbow King told me. They said...
Poyoko: That you wanted to use me to bring them back.
Poyoko: The Rainbow King was in my heart. They said that was probably because I had multiple fragments of them in my body.

Eba: (Your Majesty... You knew...?!)
Eba: You're right... I... I wanted... to use you as the King's vessel.
Eba: But I don't anymore. I see you as a person now.
Eba: And...

Eba: I don't want you... to go away...
Eba: I'm sorry, Poyoko. I'm sorry.
Eba: I'm sorry I'm so selfish. I'm sorry I tried to use you.
Poyoko: Eba.

Poyoko: The reason why doesn't matter. You were still nice to me.
Poyoko: You scolded me. You protected me. You guided me. And that kindness saved me.
Poyoko: So I'm okay now!
Poyoko: I just found myself again. I won't lose myself that easily!

Poyoko: (Your Majesty... help me.)
Poyoko: (Tell me where Karako-chan is...)

Poyoko: (Dad... Mom... Eba... Oz... Auntie... everyone in RTV...)
[sfx: *sob* *sob*]
Poyoko: (I'm here right now because they've all taken care of me.)

Poyoko: (And I think I'll be able to live on because they love me.)
Poyoko: (Since their love saved me... If I can save someone else... then that love will create more love.)
Poyoko: (Love will tie us all together.)

Poyoko: (That's how people survive.)
Poyoko: Karako-chan!
Poyoko: I found you!
