The Ball at the Castle
Fresalia Kingdom, the royal capital—

In its center stands a grandiose castle,
bathed in light from the setting sun.

It is a castle without a single thorn,
like those found in dreams.

In the shadow of the great castle,
a lone girl walks the streets...

Snow White
Let's see... I'll take this, and this!
Oh, and can I have an apple, too?

Fruit Vendor
Certainly! Here you are!
Thanks for your patronage, Snow!

Snow White
No, thank you! Your fruit is always
so juicy and delicious.

Snow White
My mother also loves your apples,
because they're so sweet!

Fruit Vendor
She does, eh? Well, I do hope she
gets better soon!

Snow White
I'm sure she will. When she does, the two
of us will come back together.

Fruit Vendor
Lookin' forward to it!

Kyle
Um, Snow...

Snow White
Oh, Kyle! Can I help you?

Kyle
Oh, no. It's just...
...Nothing, actually. Forget it.

Snow White
Are you sure? Won't the shopkeeper be
cross with you if you don't go back in soon?

Kyle
...Now that you mention it.
This is our busiest time...

Kyle
No, wait. There is something...

Kyle
Everyone's getting together later tonight,
at Locos. You should join us, if you'd like.

Snow White
Ah... I'm sorry, I can't.
But I really appreciate the invitation.

Kyle
Too much to do at home?

Snow White
Yes. My father's already got his hands full,
so I need to help out.

Kyle
I see... Well, next time then.

Snow White
Thanks for always thinking of me.
Don't forget to invite me next time!

Kyle's Friend
Yo, Kyle! Were you hitting on Snow again?

Kyle
I was not! She just seems so busy all the
time, I thought she might want to take some

Kyle
time to enjoy herself a little...

Kyle's Friend
She does work way too much, that's
for sure.

Kyle's Friend
At her job, at home... But she says it's all
for her parents.

Kyle's Friend
She must want to have some fun
sometimes, though.

Kyle's Friend
I bet she just bottles those feelings up...
She's selfless like that.

Kyle
Yeah, that's just the kind of person she is.

Snow White
That does it for the laundry...

Snow White
Oh, the dishes haven't been wiped yet?
Guess I'll take care of those next.

Snow White
Then all that's left is to whip up some
dinner with all the ingredients I bought...

Snow White
First we boil this, then we take this and...

Snow White's Father
Mmm, something smells good.

Snow White
Oh! Welcome home, Father!

Snow White's Father
Hello, Snow! Sorry for leaving all the
housework to you.

Snow White
I don't mind! I know you're always working late
to provide for us.

Snow White
We can all support each other.
That's what families do!

Snow White's Father
Thanks, Snow!

Snow White's Father
Man, I sure worked up an appetite today.
What are you cooking?

Snow White
I made your favorite—meat pie!
It's just about ready.

Snow White's Father
Oh, that'll hit the spot for sure!

Snow White's Father
How's your mother doing?
Is she still asleep?

Snow White
She is. I just brought her some water, but
she wasn't up yet.

Snow White's Father
I see.
I hope the rest does her good...

Snow White
I'm sure she'll be fine!
She seems to be on her way to recovery.

Snow White's Father
You're right.

Snow White's Father
Now then, time to dig into that meat pie!

Snow White
Go ahead, eat up! ♪

Snow White
(Mother's fast asleep...)

Snow White
(Her breathing is steady. That must be a
sign that she's improving, right...?)

Snow White's Mother
Mmnh... Snow...?

Snow White
Sorry, Mother. Did I wake you?

Snow White's Mother
No, you're fine. I was only resting my eyes.

Snow White
I brought you some food... Can you sit up?

Snow White's Mother
Yes, thank you. I'm sorry you have to handle
all the chores...

Snow White
Father said the same thing! I'm doing it all
because I want to, not because I have to.

Snow White
So, don't worry about me!

Snow White's Mother
But I feel like I'm holding you back, which
makes me feel like a terrible mother...

Snow White
I told you, I'm helping out because I want
to! Really, Mother, it's true!

Snow White's Mother
I know, but even so...
No, no more of that. Thank you, Snow!

Snow White
We're family. This is what we're here
for, so I promise you don't have to worry.

Snow White
You're the one that's sick, so let us look
after you.

Snow White
Just relax and focus on getting better.
 

Snow White's Mother
Thank you...! You really are such a good
child. My pride and joy.

Snow White
I wouldn't say I'm that good...
But thanks.

Gong... Gong...

Snow White's Mother
Oh, it seems the castle ball has just begun.

Snow White
A ball at the castle...

Snow White's Mother
Snow, be honest. You want to go, don't you?

Snow White
No! The thought never even crossed my
mind.

Snow White
I'm happiest at times like this, when the
three of us are all together!

Snow White
(To be honest, I am a little curious about
the ball...)

Snow White
(But nothing is more important than family!)

Snow White
(All I want is to spend each and every day
with Mother and Father.)

Snow White
(Forever, and ever...)

Snow White
Good night, Mother. Good night, Father.

Snow White
Phew, what a day! I had so much fun.

Snow White
(I'll hang the laundry early tomorrow, then
sweep the yard. After that's done, I'll—)

Gong... Gong... Gong...

Snow White
Ah, the ball... Guess it's done for today.

Snow White
I wonder what it's like. I bet it's splendid...

Snow White
(No, if I talk like that, Mother will think I
want to go and feel even worse!)

Snow White
(I've got to stay quiet about the ball.)

Snow White
(This is my home, and I'm happy here.)

Snow White
(I love my family.)

Snow White
(So...why do I keep feeling like I have
another home somewhere...?)

Snow White
I've got to put those silly thoughts out of
my head and get some rest for tomorrow!

Fruit Vendor
You've got apples, grapes...
Anything else you'll be needin'?

Snow White
Hmm...

Fruit Vendor
What's the matter, Snow?
Somethin' on your mind?

Snow White
Well... Has anything...odd happened
around here lately?

Fruit Vendor
Odd? Around here? Hm...
Not that I've noticed.

Snow White
(I'm seeing more and more unfamiliar faces
in the area lately...)

Snow White
(Something feels off, but I can't quite put my
finger on it.)

Fruit Vendor
Snow?

Snow White
Oh, it's nothing. It's probably just me.
This is all I'll be needing today, thank you!

Fruit Vendor
You got it! See you around!

Snow White
Next up is the bakery. Gotta get enough
for tonight and tomorrow—

Snow White
(What's with the crowd next to the bakery?)

Snow White
(If I remember correctly, that's the tailor's
shop.)

Dress-admiring Customer A
Oh, it's gorgeous!

Dress-admiring Customer B
It really is! I wonder who will get to wear it?

Snow White
(Wow, they weren't joking! That dress is
stunning...!)

Snow White
(But it must be so expensive...
Way out of my reach.)

Snow White
It sure would be nice to wear, though...
Even if just for a little...

Snow White's Father
...

Snow White's Father
A dress, huh...?

Snow White
The vegetables were cheap today, so I think
I'll make a tasty soup...

Snow White's Father
Snow, I'm home!

Snow White
Welcome home, Father!
You're in a good mood. What's happened?

Snow White's Father
I've got a present for you.

Snow White
A present? It's not my birthday or anything...

Snow White's Father
I know, but I wanted to show my thanks for
all the work you do.

Snow White's Father
Just a small token of appreciation.

Snow White's Father
Here, take a look!

Snow White
Oh...! That's the dress I saw in town!
But... But how?

Snow White's Father
I saw you eyeing it in front of the tailor's
shop. It's the one you wanted, right?

Snow White
But...it must have been so expensive!

Snow White's Father
Don't you worry about that. I can work
enough to cover it.

Snow White
Are you really sure...?

Snow White's Father
Yes, now enough of that! No child of mine
should have to worry about such things.

Snow White's Father
Thank you for everything, Snow!

Snow White
If you insist... Thank you, Father!

Snow White
I don't have any place to wear it to,
but I promise I'll keep it nice and safe.

Snow White's Father
Hey, now. I just bought the thing and you're
just gonna pack it away?

Snow White
Well, I can't just wear it out and about...

Snow White's Father
Well, then just wear it to the ball!

Snow White
Father, only nobles who received invitations
can attend the ball.

Snow White
It's not a place anyone can just waltz into.

Snow White's Father
Right again. So—here's your invitation!

Snow White
...! How did you get this...!?
Father, tell me you didn't—!

Snow White's Father
Hey, I didn't do anything bad. Don't be so
quick to suspect your own father!

Snow White's Father
Apparently, this ball is different from usual,
and commonfolk are being invited, too.

Snow White's Father
They say it's another one of the Princess's
whims.

Snow White
(How considerate of the Princess!
She's always thinking of others.)

Snow White
I don't mean to disrespect her, but I can't
attend the ball...

Snow White's Father
Why not?

Snow White
I have to think about Mother—

Snow White's Mother
Don't worry about me! Go, have fun!
 

Snow White
M-Mother! Should you be walking?

Snow White's Mother
I'm okay. I was asleep for such a long time,
I'm all better now. Right as rain.

Snow White's Mother
You can go to the ball guilt-free.

Snow White's Father
I've finished my work for the day, so leave
the housework to me. Off you go, Snow!

Snow White
But...

Snow White
No, I should be thanking you both.
Thank you! I'm so happy!

Snow White's Father
It's no problem at all. Have fun!

Snow White's Mother
Have a good time, Snow.

Snow White
I will...! See you later then, Mother, Father!

Kyle
Snow, is that you!?
...Wow, what an outfit.

Snow White
Oh, Kyle!

Snow White
Um, well... What do you think of my dress?

Kyle
It's, um... Not bad!
I think it looks good on you!

Snow White
Really? Thank you!
I feel like I'm not doing it justice, though...

Kyle
Wait, are you going to the ball?

Snow White
I am. Apparently, it's not just the nobles
who can attend this time.

Kyle
I see... So you're going to be making your
ball debut, huh? Have a good time!

Snow White
Thank you, Kyle! See you around!

Kyle
Yeah, see you.

Kyle
...You look so beautiful, Snow.

???
...

???
So she's the one...

Princess Cinderella
Snow White
Wow, just look at this castle!

Snow White
(It always towers over everything, but
I've never seen it up close before.)

Snow White
(It's overwhelming...!)

Gong... Gong... Gong... Gong...

Snow White
(It feels like the bells are ringing from
under my feet. They're so intense.)

Snow White
(The castle is so lavish... Is someone like
me really allowed to go inside?)

Snow White
Enough of that. They invited people here to
have fun—

Snow White
So that's what I'm going to do!

Snow White
Um, let's see...

Snow White
(There are so many rooms... I don't know
where I'm supposed to go...)

Snow White
(I'd ask someone, but everyone is so prim
and proper.)

Snow White
(I'm too embarrassed to approach anyone...)

???
You okay? You look lost.

Snow White
Oh, excuse me!
Um, do you know where the ball is...?

???
Yeah, it's right down there. It's starting soon,
so you should get a move on or you'll be late.

Snow White
Oh, thank you!

???
No problem! Let's both have some fun!

Snow White
Phew, he startled me. But he seemed like a
nice person, approaching me to help like that.

Snow White
And...I feel like I've...met him somewhere
before?

Snow White
Never mind that—I've got to hurry to the ball!
Um, I think he said it was this way!

Ball Host
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

Ball Host
On behalf of Her Highness Princess
Cinderella, please allow me to welcome you

Ball Host
to Fresalia Castle and to our ball.

Ball Host
We hope you all enjoy yourselves tonight!

Snow White
(It's happening! I'm really, truly, actually,
seriously at the ball!)

Snow White
(It's like a dream come true!)

Snow White
(Still, everyone is so elegant and classy...
Ugh, I'm making myself nervous again...)

Aristocrat A
Pardon me! May I ask where you are from,
Princess?

Snow White
Um...me?

Aristocrat B
Indeed! You are most pleasing to the eye,
Your Highness!

Snow White
U-Um, you've got the wrong idea.
I'm not a princess.

Aristocrat A
And such humility! A woman of your
elegance and sophistication must surely be

Aristocrat A
the princess of a great nation!

Aristocrat B
Indubitably! Though your modesty is
entirely unnecessary, for you are the most

Aristocrat B
beautiful flower to bloom at this ball!

Snow White
N-No, I'm...

Aristocrat A
Please, you must allow me one dance!

Aristocrat B
No, no, dance with me!

Aristocrat C
Forget these two, how about me?

Snow White
Um, listen, I...

Snow White
(I didn't know men actually asked you to
dance like this at these balls...)

Snow White
(What do I do? How do I turn them down?)

Snow White
Oh, there's that person from earlier—

Aristocrat A
Something the matter, Princess?

Snow White
Sorry, I have to go and see my friend!
P-Pardon me!

Aristocrat B
Your Highness, wait!

Snow White
E-Excuse me. Um, may I talk to you?

???
Oh, it's you! What's the matter?
You're out of breath.

Snow White
Those men were pestering me to dance, so
I turned them down and ran away.

Snow White
Can you hide me for a little bit?

???
Sure, happy to help! I'm just a commoner
that happened to get an invite, though.

???
I'm not sure how well I can keep you hidden.

Snow White
Oh, me too! A commoner, I mean.
I don't have a drop of noble blood in me.

???
What, really? Your dress is so beautiful and
you're so graceful, I was positive you were

???
a nobleman's daughter or something.

Snow White
Oh, no! Not at all...!

Aristocrat's Voice
Princess! Oh, Princess!

Snow White
Ack...

???
Quick! I think they'll give up if you stay
behind me.

Snow White
Th-Thank you.

Snow White
(I'm so close to a man! My heart is beating
out of my chest, and yet, I feel oddly safe...)

Snow White
Um, may I ask your name?

Finn
Right, I haven't introduced myself yet.
I'm Finn. Nice to meet you!

Snow White
Finn, is it? You can call me Snow.

Finn
Snow, huh? Got it.

Snow White
It's a pleasure to meet you.

Finn
We may raise suspicions just standing here
like this, so do you want to go dance?

Finn
I am a terrible dancer, but still.

Snow White
Don't worry, I am, too!
But yes, I think I'd like to dance.

Finn
Well then, take my hand—

Snow White
Okay, please go easy on me!

Aristocrat A
Oh, where has my fair princess gone?

Aristocrat B
I just saw her dancing with a gentleman
I'm not familiar with...

Aristocrat A
Goodness, you say!? She's already found
a partner, has she? Hmph...

Aristocrat B
Shall we direct our affections toward
the grandest rose of the bouquet, then?

Aristocrat A
You don't mean...Princess Cinderella!?
That is quite the daring idea—

Aristocrat C
I'd say it's more reckless than brave.
Or perhaps foolish would be more accurate.

Aristocrat A
Who shall be the one to capture
Her Highness's heart?

Cinderella
I tried mixing things up for this ball, but my
little toy box is still full of nothing but junk.

Cinderella
Could there really be a man that's fit
for me among these masses?

???
Oh, there is indeed!

Cinderella
And who might you be?

???
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance,
Princess Cinderella!

???
It is I, the man you so wistfully desire.

Cinderella
Really, now. Tell me your name.

Percy
As you command. Before Your Highness
humbly stands the Second Prince of

Percy
the Azura Kingdom: Prince Percy!

Cinderella
The second? Only?

Percy
Technically, in order of birth, yes...
However, I am superior to my elder brother

Percy
in both talent and looks—fit to be king,
they say!

Percy
Besides, the Azura Kingdom is a vast and
great country—I am no petty nobleman

Percy
like all the riff-raff here!

Cinderella
Who are you to spread such disrespectful
criticism?

Percy
Beg your pardon...?

Cinderella
A nobleman's status originates in dignity.
Dignity radiates from how you speak, your

Cinderella
demeanor, depth of knowledge, and
experience.

Cinderella
A narrow-minded narcissist like you?
Well, your status is probably lower than

Cinderella
the ants in the dirt.

Percy
Your Highness, what...

Cinderella
Oh, and by the way?
That hair of yours is ridiculous.

Cinderella
It's taking all my strength not to laugh in
your face.

Percy
How DARE you! You... You mock ME!?
Just who do you think you are!?

Percy
Your nation is insignificant compared to
mine! You will rue the day you insulted me!

Cinderella
No class in the howls of a pathetic dog.

Cinderella
Ugh... Is there no man that can entertain me?

The Party Ends
Percy
Out of my way, OUT OF MY WAY!

Aristocrat A
My, what's the matter with him?

Aristocrat B
The usual, for that sort of man.
He was rebuffed by the Princess.

Aristocrat A
Oh, heavens me...
Such a pity.

Percy
That foul woman!
The gall to speak to me that way!

Percy
I am a prince of THE Azura Kingdom—

Percy
Prince Percy, handpicked as the
Pinnacle of Men!

Percy
Where I'm from, the women line up for the
opportunity to be with me!

Percy
When my father hears of this affront, this
sorry nation will be crushed like the ants

Percy
that wench spoke of!

Percy
When that time comes, there shall be no
mercy—no quarter! She shall know my wrath!

Percy
Grr... The wench will be dealt with later, but
I'm not yet ready to return to Azura.

Percy
Oh? That maiden over there is quite the
specimen. She should make for fine redress...

Finn
Erm, I think this foot goes here?
And then this one goes here...

Snow White
That's not right, Finn.
I think your left foot goes here.

Finn
Ah, I get it now! Thanks, Snow.

Snow White
Sure! Let's continue!

Finn
One, two, three. One, two, three!

Snow White
There, you've got it! Next is a turn, then—

Percy
Hey, you there! In the white dress!

Snow White
Who, me?

Percy
Yes, you! Come here!

Finn
Excuse me, the lady is dancing with me.
Do you mind stepping back?

Percy
I've never seen you at any event before.
What is your lineage?

Finn
My lineage? I'm from a family of hunters
out of Yunara Village. What of it?

Percy
A family of hunters...?

Percy
So you are a lowly commoner!
What a marvelous mistake you have made,

Percy
crossing me!

Percy
Step away from the woman and crawl back
to your hovel, peasant!

Finn
I'm here on formal invitation from the prin-
cess. I won't leave just because you say so!

Percy
A formal invitation, you say? Well, I don't
know whom you swindled to pull that off,

Percy
but your presence itself is repulsive.
Begone!

Percy
Now, woman—come with me! I'll give you a
night you shan't soon forget!

Snow White
Ack, don't touch me...! Let me go!

Finn
Hey, what do you think you're doing!?
She clearly doesn't want to go with you!

Percy
Silence, filthy rat! The woman belongs to me!

Cinderella
Do I hear something about a filthy rat?
Such scum is not fit for my ball.

Percy
Oh, Your Highness!
You couldn't be more right!

Percy
Deliver unto this intruder the punishment
he deserves!

Cinderella
I'll have the vermin ejected at once.

Snow White
No, wait!

Percy
Most excellent! Humiliate the fool before
the crowds to set him in his place!

Finn
Y-Your Highness, please! I have an invitation!

Cinderella
Who said you're the one I'm ejecting?
I sure didn't.

Cinderella
Guards, remove this conceited backwoods
oaf from my castle!

Cinderella
He does not belong at my ball.

Percy
...What?

Percy
Surely you don't mean this "backwoods oaf"
to be me, Your Highness?

Cinderella
Who else? Or is your hearing as poor as your
intelligence? You're beyond rescue.

Cinderella
The presence of such men like yourself
is repulsive. Begone. Now.

Percy
How...
How DARE you!

Percy
You... You...
You insult me not once, but TWICE...

Percy
I shall stand for no more! Forget informing
Father—I shall deal with you here and now!

Finn
Look out! He's armed!

Percy
DIEEE!

Cinderella
Too slow!

Percy
Wha— OOF!

Finn
(She parried his attack with her rapier, and
managed to get in a kick!?)

Cinderella
Did you think I was some defenseless
damsel?

Cinderella
Men like you are the reason this world is so
dull.

Cinderella
I think your neck could use a little more
ventilation.

Cinderella
This rapier here can help you with that.

Percy
N-No, I...

Cinderella
Oh, I insist. Come, lie down here.
Now.

Percy
M-Mercy! MERCYYY!

Cinderella
Aw, and things were just about to get
interesting.

Cinderella
Never waste my time again.
Guards, get him out of my sight.

Guard
Yes, Your Highness!

Cinderella
Ugh, all these guys are so utterly dull.

Snow White
That...was amazing!

Finn
So that's the princess of Fresalia Castle...
Princess Cinderella.

Snow White
The wind here is so refreshing. The cool
breeze feels great after all that dancing!

Finn
Thanks for showing me how to dance, Snow.
I had a great time!

Snow White
I was just copying everyone else! Sorry if I
taught you anything weird...

Finn
Nah, it was fine! Besides, all that matters
is to have fun, right?

Snow White
Right! And I had fun dancing with you.

Snow White
...Huh? Is that who I think it is over there?
It's the Princess, isn't it?

Finn
Yeah, that does look like Princess Cinderella
to me. What could she be doing here?

Finn
(Even during a ball like this, should she be
all alone, without any servants or guards?)

Finn
(That doesn't seem normal...)

Finn
Your Highness?

Cinderella
Oh, it's you. From before.
What can I do for you?

Finn
We were just wondering what you're
doing here by yourself.

Finn
Shouldn't you be at the ball?

Cinderella
I'm not doing anything, really. I'm just here to
escape the sea of stupid men.

Finn
I see. That's understandable.

Finn
(Seems like being a princess comes with
a lot of tough responsibilities...)

Snow White
Um, Your Highness? I'm sorry if we caused
you any trouble earlier.

Cinderella
Oh, I didn't do all that to help you. That guy
was just really getting under my skin.

Cinderella
There's no need to apologize.

Snow White
Y-Yes, Your Highness!

Snow White
(Wow, Princess Cinderella is even cooler
than I thought!)

Cinderella
But you've got some guts standing up to
him like you did. Weren't you scared?

Finn
He may be of a higher social standing
than me, but I saw Snow was in trouble,

Finn
so I just sort of reacted without thinking.

Cinderella
Still, pretty brave of you. You're also the
best-looking guy I've seen in a while.

Cinderella
Why don't you come work for me? You can
be my personal steward or something.

Snow White
(If he accepts, does that mean he'd be
with the Princess all day every day!?)

Snow White
(What will he say...?)

Finn
Apologies, Your Highness! I love Yunara
too much to accept your kind offer.

Cinderella
Oh? I'm surprised you'd turn me down!
You really are different from the others.

Cinderella
Hehe, I like you! You're the first man in a
while that I wouldn't mind getting close to.

Finn
Get...close to?

Cinderella
Yes, that's what I said...

Finn
Um, Your Highness?
Th-That's very close...!

Snow White
!?

Snow White
You... You shouldn't!

Snow White
You're a princess! And, you should think
about how Finn feels...!

Snow White
So...you... You just shouldn't!

Cinderella
Oh, is he your beau? Sorry, I didn't mean
to step on any toes.

Snow White
Huh!? No, it's not like that...

Finn
Uh, excuse me? Your Highness, what are
you talking about? What's going on?

Cinderella
Hehe, I'm just messing with you.
You're cute, the two of you.

Finn
(So she wasn't serious... I should have
known, but boy, was I surprised...)

Cinderella
Anyway, did you say you were from Yunara?

Finn
Yes, that's right. Is there anything our
village can do for you?

Cinderella
No, not at present.

Cinderella
But there's a silo there, right?
Close to the village. You know the one.

Finn
Yes, I know it. I've gone inside before when
helping my father.

Cinderella
This may sound strange, but there wouldn't
happen to be a portrait of two girls inside

Cinderella
of the silo, would there?

Finn
A portrait? Inside the silo...?

Finn
Oh, there is! Of two girls, just like you said!

Cinderella
There is, huh...?

Gong... Gong... Gong...

Cinderella
The ball will be ending soon. I must thank you
both. This was a fun way to kill some time.

Cinderella
I hope we meet again someday.

Snow White
There she goes... Isn't she just so amazing
and beautiful?

Finn
She is very impressive, in many ways...

Finn
(How could she have known about the
picture in the silo, though?)

Gong... Gong... Gong...

Ball Host
With that, ladies and gentlemen, our ball
draws to a close.

Ball Host
We hope that you enjoyed tonight's
encounters and festivities.

Finn
That does it for the ball... How was it, Snow?

Snow White
It was so much fun! Everything and
everyone was so elegant and beautiful...

Snow White
I still feel like I'm dreaming.

Finn
Same here! It was an experience that
I could never get back in Yunara.

Snow White
That being said, I think I'd still prefer to
spend my days with my parents back home.

Snow White
Everyone in town is so kind, and they're
always so considerate of me.

Snow White
So, um...

Finn
Sounds like a fantastic place. I'd love to
come and visit someday.

Snow White
Really? You mean it!?

Finn
Yeah, of course! You should also stop by my
village if you have the chance.

Finn
You'd be most welcome there.

Snow White
I'd love to! And you're welcome in my town,
too!

Snow White
We could go for a walk together...
And then, maybe I could finally tell you...!

Finn
Finally? What do you mean?

Snow White
Wait... Why did I say "finally"...?

Snow White
Um, anyway, I have a lot I want to talk
about.

Finn
Sounds good! I'd love to talk with you more.

Snow White
Great! Well then, I guess we'll see each
other soon. Promise!

What's Been Forgotten
One day, I had a fateful encounter.

It was a clear afternoon, the sun
shining bright—

On a street corner in the castle town,
away from all the crowds—

There I was, groaning in pain...

Cinderella
...Hngh, ugh...

???
Excuse me, ma'am... You look like you're in
pain. Are you alright?

Cinderella
Who are you...?

Cinderella
Well, it doesn't matter. I'm fine, so just
leave me alone.

???
I can't just leave you when you look like
you're suffering. What happened?

Cinderella
...

Cinderella
Someone mistook me for a thief. They
demanded I return what I stole,

Cinderella
then beat me.

???
You were beaten over a mistake...!?

Cinderella
Yeah. But I'm used to it.

???
I had no idea that there could be someone
like that in this town...

Cinderella
But I gave as much as I took! Did you know
that if you give 'em a swift kick to the groin,

Cinderella
men will run off crying?

???
You got them back!? I'm impressed...

Cinderella
Of course I did! I am not so pathetic that
I'd take a beating without fighting back.

???
You're definitely strong.
I could never...

???
I'd love to get to know you better.
Will you tell me more about yourself?

That was the first time I met her.

I revisit my memories with her,
over and over again...

In my dreams...

Knock knock.

Servant
May I enter, Your Highness?

Cinderella
(I must have fallen asleep. I was having
the strangest dream...)

Cinderella
Yes, come in.

Servant
Pardon me, Your Highness. I have come to
confirm your duties for the afternoon—

Servant
Ah, Your Highness? Are you...in pain?
Shall I summon the physicians?

Cinderella
Why do you ask? I feel perfectly fine.

Servant
Forgive me, but your eyes...
They are full of tears.

Cinderella
...What?

Cinderella
(What the... My eyes are teared up.
But I don't have any reason to be crying.)

Cinderella
(Is it because of that dream?)

Cinderella
Never mind that. You were saying about
my duties?

Servant
Ah, erm, yes. Your Highness is requested to
attend a meeting on behalf of His Majesty—

Cinderella
Again? Does this mean that Father and
Mother aren't back yet?

Servant
Yes, Their Majesties have been invited to yet
another reception in a neighboring nation.

Cinderella
Understood. I'll get ready at once.
Now, leave me.

Servant
Yes, Your Highness.

Cinderella
Ugh, being a princess is such a pain...

Cinderella
(That dream... The same one I always have,
about the same nameless girl...)

Cinderella
(For some reason, when I see her, my heart
feels like it's being squeezed tight.)

Cinderella
(Like I miss her, like she's someone dear
to me...)

Cinderella
(I can't shake the feeling that I'm forgetting
something very important...)

Townsperson A
Hey, Snow! I hear you went to the ball?

Townsperson B
Whoa, good for you! I never thought
anyone from these parts would get to

Townsperson B
attend one of those shindigs!

Townsperson C
How was it? Was the food to die for?

Townsperson D
Tell me all about the Princess!
Is she as pretty as they say?

Snow White
Oh, um... Yes! The food was delicious!
Although, I was too nervous to eat much...

Snow White
But the Princess was amazing!
She was beautiful, but more than that...

Snow White
She was so cool! I was in awe!

Townsperson A
So, Snow. Tell us, did you meet anyone
special?

Snow White
Special? What do you mean?

Townsperson B
With how cute you are, I'm sure all those
fancy-pants nobles were spellbound!

Snow White
Oh, stop, it wasn't like that...

Snow White
Ehehe...

Kyle
...

Kyle's Friend
What's with you? What are you sulking
about now?

Kyle
Nothing. I'm not sulking.

Kyle's Friend
Uh, yes you are! You should've just stopped
her from going to the ball if it was going to

Kyle's Friend
make you this mad.

Kyle
I told you, I'm not mad! Now shut up about
it!

Kyle's Friend
Okay, okay. But Snow sure was lookin' cute
in that dress yesterday, wasn't she?

Kyle
Well... Yeah, she was.

Snow White
I was what?

Kyle
Oh, uh, nothing! So, uh... Did you have fun
yesterday?

Snow White
I did! Thank you for complimenting my
dress, too. That made it all the better!

Kyle
Oh, uh... Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Kyle's Friend
Oh, right! Snow, Kyle's father sent him on
an errand. Why don't you go with him?

Kyle
Wait a minute, you said you would
come with me!

Kyle's Friend
Sorry, something urgent came up.
Cover for me, Snow!

Snow White
Well, um... Is it somewhere close by?
I can't go too far away from my house.

Kyle
The round trip usually takes a while, but if
we take a shortcut, it'll only be half a day.

Kyle
It's this place called Yunara Village. There's
a quick way there, through the woods.

Kyle
I can swing a sword, so if anything happens,
we should be fine.

Kyle's Friend
What? I've never seen you use a
sword, not even once.

Kyle
Shut up.

Snow White
Yunara Village...

Snow White
(That's where Finn lives. I would like to
visit and see what it's like, but...)

Snow White
(I only met him yesterday. Would it be weird
to show up where he lives the very next day?)

Snow White
(Will he think I'm strange?)

Snow White
When's the next time you'll be in Yunara?

Kyle
The seasons are just about to change, so I
don't think I'll be back that way for a while.

Snow White
Hmm, I see...

Snow White
(If I don't go now, then I may not have
another chance. If that's the case, then...!)

Kyle
It's fine, I can go alone if you don't want to
cut through the woods. I don't blame you—

Snow White
Actually, can I join you?

Kyle
Are you sure?

Snow White
I've finished most of my chores, and I've got
business in Yunara. I'd be happy to come!

Kyle
Oh, okay. Then sure, let's go together.

Snow White
Thank you!

Snow White
(I wonder if Finn is waiting for me?
I hope I can talk with him!)

Yunara Resident A
There you are!

Yunara Resident A
Finn, you've got a visitor. She says she's
come all the way from the castle town!

Finn
A visitor? For me?

Yunara Resident A
Man, I knew if you went to that ball you'd
come back all fancy.

Yunara Resident A
Now look at the company you keep!

Finn
Wait, what are you talking about?

Yunara Resident A
Like. I. Said. There's a spunky young girl
here to see you!

Yunara Resident B
I saw her, too! We don't get girls that
cute around here often. I'm jealous!

Yunara Resident C
C'mon, hurry. Anyone that keeps a girl like
that waiting doesn't belong in Yunara!

Finn
Alright, alright already! I'm going!

Kyle
We've been waiting like we were told, but
are you sure your friend is here?

Snow White
Yes, I just met him at the ball yesterday.
He's a really nice guy.

Snow White
Oh, look! There he is!

Finn
Oh, it's you! So you're the one that's come
to see me!

Snow White
I just happened to have something to take
care of here in Yunara...

Snow White
I hope I'm not bothering you.

Finn
Not at all! I'm happy to see you.
We did say we'd visit each other, after all.

Snow White
Right! I wanted to talk to you.

Kyle
...

Finn
And who's your friend?

Snow White
Oh, right. This is Kyle. We go way back.
...What's wrong, Kyle? You look upset.

Kyle
It's nothing. I'm fine.

Finn
Kyle, was it? I'm Finn. It's good to meet you!

Kyle
Mhm.

Snow White
Kyle's always looking out for me, and his
father runs the produce shop I always go to.

Snow White
He's a very kind and dear friend of mine.

Kyle
A dear friend... Just a friend...

Yunara Resident A
Ooh, who knew that we'd stumble upon
such a juicy scene by following Finn?

Yunara Resident B
I know how you feel, Kyle!
You've done nothing wrong!

Yunara Resident C
Yeah, that thick idiot is the bad guy here!
He's a real jerk!

Finn
Whoa, what did I do? You guys just come
out of nowhere and judge who's right and

Finn
who's wrong now?

Yunara Resident A
Oh, hush, Mr. Fancy Ballgoer!

Yunara Resident B
You've got no right to speak, rubbin' elbows
with a lass like that!

Yunara Resident B
Take her and get outta here!

Yunara Resident C
Come with us, brother! We'll take your
mind off things!

Kyle
Wait, I have an errand from my father—

Yunara Resident A
Perfect, we'll help ya with that! Once we're
done, we'll give you a real Yunara welcome.

Yunara Resident B
C'mon, this way!

Finn
What was that all about...?

Snow White
I'm just as lost as you are. But they seemed
like an interesting group.

Finn
That they are. Let's go for a walk, I'll show you
around.

Snow White
I'd love that!

Snow White
It's so quiet, except for the gentle breeze.
It's so peaceful here.

Finn
It is. This forest is the backbone of the
village. We give it our thanks every day.

Snow White
So, Finn. What's your life like here in
Yunara?

Finn
Well, I used to be a hunter. Some even called
me the best hunter in the entire village.

Snow White
So you're doing something else now?

Finn
Huh?

Snow White
You said you "used to be" a hunter, so I
thought that meant you're not one anymore.

Finn
Oh, right... Sorry, I must have misspoken.
I'm still a hunter now.

Finn
In fact, just the other day, I bagged a...
I bagged...a...

Finn
...

Finn
(That's weird. I know I got something big,
but I can't even remember when I did that.)

Finn
(When... When did I...?)

Snow White
Finn?

Finn
Nothing, never mind. I guess I'm just kind of
spacey today.

Finn
Anyway, why don't you tell me more about
yourself?

Finn
Do you have many friends other than Kyle?

Snow White
I do!
I've lived in the same town since I was young,

Snow White
so I have a lot of friends I grew up with...
Wait.

Snow White
That's strange, I can't remember their names.
Um, give me a moment...

Snow White
Maybe I'm a little spacey today too.

Snow White
They're very old friends, but I'm drawing a
blank on their names...and their faces...

Snow White
I'm trying my hardest to recall them, but
my memory is hazy...

Finn
Yours too? I'm the same.
What's going on...?

Finn
Maybe yesterday's ball took more out of
us than we thought.

Snow White
That could be it...

Finn
Huh? Did you see that? I thought I saw
someone walk by.

Snow White
I only caught a glimpse, but it looked like...
the Princess?

Finn
Princess Cinderella? In Yunara!?

Finn
(Come to think of it, she did seem
particularly interested in the silo...)

Finn
The figure was headed in the direction of
the silo. It may have actually been her.

Finn
Let's go see!

Our Secret Place
Snow White
Your Highness!

Cinderella
My, what a coincidence.

Finn
What are you doing at the silo?

Finn
Also... Inside the castle is one thing, but
should you be out here all alone?

Cinderella
Well, I slipped out. Everything there is
princess this, princess that!

Finn
...That would mean everyone in the castle
must be freaking out right now.

Cinderella
Serves them right! They always keep me
locked up there, like a prisoner.

Cinderella
My motto is, "act when the mood strikes you!"

Cinderella
When my mind is set on something, I don't
let anyone get in my way.

Finn
(Everyone says she's a selfish princess,
but when she puts it like that, I sort of

Finn
understand how she feels. Heck, she'd
make a good knight.)

Finn
(Wait, why did my mind jump to knights...?)

Cinderella
Anyway, is that picture really there?
The one in the silo, I mean.

Finn
The portrait you mentioned yesterday,
right? I'm pretty sure I saw it there, yes...

Cinderella
Pretty sure? Well, it'll be quicker to check
for myself. Let me inside!

Snow White
Finn, will you open the silo for the Princess?

Finn
I suppose I could. I'll go get the key.
I won't be long. Snow, stay with the Princess.

Cinderella
We'll be waiting!

Finn
It's dangerous in there with no light, so
don't go too far in!

Cinderella
I'm not a child. I know to steer clear of
anything dangerous.

Finn
(She says that, but she's already climbing
the stairs...)

Finn
(She really knows no fear!)

Snow White
Huh, so this is what it's like inside a silo.
I've never been in one of these things before.

Finn
I have, once. A long time ago...
Or, was it recently...?

Finn
At any rate, people don't come in here
often.

Finn
The handrails and flooring haven't been
looked after, so they may be fragile.

Finn
Watch your step.

Snow White
Got it! Left foot... Right foot... Careful...

Cinderella
It's so musty in here. And so dark.
Not very pleasant overall...

Finn
Let me know right away if you start to feel
ill!

Cinderella
Sure, I'll do that. I expect you to tend to me
well if that happens!

Creeeak...

Cinderella
Ah!

Finn
Your Highness, are you alright!?

Cinderella
I'm fine, but I don't know if the floor
ahead can handle all of our weight.

Cinderella
I'll go on alone. You two wait for me
downstairs.

Finn
(The floor does look like it may give out
if all three of us step on it...)

Finn
Is there any way we can talk you out of
going up there?

Cinderella
No. I think that picture is upstairs.

Cinderella
I'm not leaving until I've seen it with my
own two eyes.

Cinderella
Don't worry, I won't do anything to cause
problems for either of you.

Finn
Okay. We'll be waiting for you down here,
so come down as soon as you're done.

Cinderella
I will. Oh, and if you try to look up my
dress while I'm climbing the stairs,

Cinderella
I'll add some ventilation to your throat
with my rapier.

Finn
(Knowing the Princess, that probably
wasn't a joke. She can be scary...)

Finn
O-Of course, Your Highness.
I wouldn't dream of it!

Cinderella
Hehe, very well.

Snow White
I hope she'll be okay... These stairs are
pretty shoddy.

Finn
We'll have to be ready to move at a
moment's notice in case anything happens.

Finn
For now, nothing we can do now but wait.
Let's head back down.

Finn
(I wonder what could be so important about
that picture.)

Finn
(If I remember correctly, it's just a doodle,
like a child's drawing.)

Cinderella
Huff...huff... Almost...there...

Cinderella
Almost...at...the top...

Cinderella
Huff... Phew. I finally made it.

Cinderella
Now, it should be near the window...

Cinderella
Oh!

Cinderella
I can't believe it's actually here. It's the
picture I see in my dreams...

Cinderella
Then that means, that girl really does
exist...

The fateful day I met her—

I took her to the silo to show her my
favorite thing.

I figured that surely she, of all people,
would really get it.

Cinderella
This way! Over here!

Girl from Long Ago
W-Wait... Wait up! We're not going all the
way to the top, are we!?

Cinderella
Of course we are!
Come on, hurry up!

Girl from Long Ago
I'm not...losing to you...
Not this time!

Cinderella
Last step, aaand done.

Girl from Long Ago
Me, too...

Cinderella
Worn out, are you? Well, I don't blame you.

Cinderella
I've seen grown men be out of breath by
the time they make it up here.

Girl from Long Ago
Hehe, who's tired?
I'm totally fine.

Cinderella
Huh, guess you're in better shape than I
thought.

Girl from Long Ago
Yeah, this was nothing...
Huff...huff...

Cinderella
See, you are out of breath!

Girl from Long Ago
Hngh...

Girl from Long Ago
...KHAAAAAAH!
Cough, cough!

Cinderella
That's what happens when you try to
hold your breath when you're winded.

Cinderella
But look, this is what I wanted to show you.
Check out the view from here!

Girl from Long Ago
The view...?

Cinderella
Green as far as the eye can see... The idyllic
village... Chirping birds, rustling leaves...

Cinderella
The view from here is my favorite thing
ever! It's what keeps me going.

Girl from Long Ago
It is amazing...! I've never seen a view this
tranquil and vivid, yet fleeting.

Girl from Long Ago
It warms my heart...

Cinderella
Told ya. When you look out this window,
the unpleasant reality feels like it's

Cinderella
miles and miles away...

Girl from Long Ago
The unpleasant reality...
You said it.

Girl from Long Ago
Oh, what's this? A drawing?

Cinderella
Ah, ignore that! No looking!

Girl from Long Ago
Is this a self-portrait?
Hehe, look at the fancy dress on you.

Cinderella
I made that when I was a kid, when I didn't
know how the world worked!

Cinderella
I-I didn't want to be a princess or
anything...!

Girl from Long Ago
You didn't want to be a princess, huh...

Girl from Long Ago
Ooh, can I add to the picture?
I know just the thing for it.

Cinderella
Sure, go ahead...

Girl from Long Ago
Do you have anything to draw with?

Cinderella
My paints should still be around here...
Here they are.

Girl from Long Ago
Wow, you're well prepared.
Do you come up here often?

Cinderella
Kinda... No one else comes here, so
it's a quiet place to sew and stuff...

Cinderella
Whatever! Are you going to paint
something or what?

Girl from Long Ago
I sure am. Put this here, a little blue there...

Girl from Long Ago
Hehe. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

Cinderella
Really? Doesn't look all that great to me.

Girl from Long Ago
Oh? I wasn't gonna say anything, but...
You're not really one to talk.

Cinderella
I told you, I made that when I was a kid!
I'm way better now!

Girl from Long Ago
Are you sure about that? Show me!
Let's see who's better, right now.

Cinderella
Do you have to make everything a
competition? Whatever, bring it!

Girl from Long Ago
Then let's gather some pieces of wood
and paint on them.

Girl from Long Ago
That way, we can have as many rounds as
we need.

Cinderella
All I need is one. Just you watch!

Cinderella
Wow, I'm actually impressed.

Girl from Long Ago
Me too! Yours is great.

Cinderella
Heehee...

Girl from Long Ago
Hehehe!

Cinderella
This is the most fun I've ever had in one day!

Girl from Long Ago
Me too! It was awesome.

Girl from Long Ago
I wish every day could be like this...

Girl from Long Ago
Then the world wouldn't seem like such a
crappy place.

Girl from Long Ago
Hey, can I come visit you again?

Cinderella
Of course! When will you come next—

Cinderella
Urgh...

Girl from Long Ago
A-Are you okay!? You look like you are
going to pass out.

Cinderella
I-I'm fine. It's nothing, I probably just
stood up too fast.

Girl from Long Ago
I think we should call it a day.
It's starting to get cold.

Cinderella
Yeah. But... Let's promise that we'll see
each other again.

Girl from Long Ago
Of course! I can't wait!

Yes... Now, I...

I remember. I haven't forgotten her...

The one who brightened my world.
My only friend.

Her name is...

Snow White
Finn, does the Princess seem a little off to
you?

Finn
She seems off-balance, like she's dizzy...

Finn
...Crap, we have to do something before
she falls down the stairs!

Snow White
LOOK OUT!

Finn
!

...

Snow White
Finn!
Your Highness!

Finn
Phew, I got her...

Snow White
Finn, Your Highness...
Are you okay!?

Finn
I caught her before she hit the ground,
but...

Snow White
She hasn't opened her eyes...
Is she—!?

???
No, she's just fainted. She isn't hurt, and
she certainly can't be sick.

Snow White
Who... Who are you?

Finn
(When did she get in here? And what is
this odd feeling I'm getting...?)

???
I do thank you for attempting to save her,
that was kind of you. However...

???
Your presence here has me in a bind,
frankly. Sorry, but you've got to go.

Finn
What are you talking about—

Finn
An earthquake!?

Snow White
Finn!

Finn
Get outside! Run, now!

Finn
Snow, are you hurt?

Snow White
No, I'm okay... What about you?
And the Princess?

Finn
I'm alright. The Princess seems okay, too.
I'll set her down here for now.

Ground-shaking Growl
GROOOAAAAARGHHH!

Finn
What was that!?

Snow White
Finn, behind you!

Finn
Wh-What's going on!?

Monster
ROOAAAAARGH!!

Snow White
Is that...the silo!? But we were just inside it!

Finn
Yes, that's the silo alright!
But why is it growling?

Finn
It's like some kind of monster...!

???
Exactly right. It's a hollow monster.

???
A life-devouring, inorganic creature,
here to free you from this mortal coil.

Finn
(Is that girl controlling that thing
somehow!?)

Finn
But why kill us...!?

???
Simply put, your presence here is a
hindrance.

???
Any factor that may hamper my plans
must be removed.

Finn
(What does she mean by that?
Whatever, no time to worry about it now!)

Finn
(If we can't talk her down, then—)

Finn
Snow, run! Save yourself!
I'll hold off that monster!

Snow White
No, I'm not leaving you behind!

Finn
You have to! I can't protect both of you! Go!

Snow White
(Right, Finn can't run if he wants to
protect the Princess... In that case—)

Snow White
I'll distract it!

Finn
No, Snow! Don't do anything—

???
Shouldn't you be running away?

Snow White
I'm terrified... But I won't let you hurt
them!

Snow White
I'll protect them, even at the cost of my life!

???
What a pain, honestly... Fine, have it your
way! You can die together!

Kyle
STOP RIGHT THERE!
Don't you dare lay a hand on her!

???
Ugh, who is it now!?

Snow White
Kyle? What are you doing here!?

Kyle
I heard a commotion and thought you
might be in danger!

Kyle
I told you my sword and I would keep you
safe, didn't I?

Kyle
Hey, you big ugly freak! Come get some!

Snow White
Kyle, no!

???
We need to finish this before any more
pests arrive. Get rid of them, monster!

Silo Monster
GROOOAAAAARGHHH!

Kyle
Hngh... Augh!

Snow White
KYLE!

Kyle
Urk... I-I'm... I'm okay...

???
Persistent, aren't you?

Finn
(Kyle can't take much more of that. Snow
and the Princess's lives are in danger...)

Finn
(I chose to defend others, that's what I've
gotta do...!)

Finn
(Defend...? That's right, I'm not a hunter.
The real me is—)

Finn
Kyle, give me your sword!

Kyle
Why would I do that...!?

Finn
I can protect everyone—I can save Snow!
You've gotta trust me!

Kyle
...!

Kyle
Okay... I'll trust you on this!

Finn
I've got this!

Finn
(This weight! The heft of sharpened steel,
a tool to take or defend lives...)

Finn
(I know this sensation well.)

Finn
(My body still remembers! My life up to
this point, my days filled with battles—)

Finn
I am no hunter... I am a knight!

???
Impossible... Your memory has returned!?
You really are a nuisance.

???
Just as she said...

???
Crush him, monster!
That's an order!

Silo Monster
ROOAAAAARGH!

Finn
HAAAAAAAGH!

Silo Monster
OOAAAAARGHHH...

???
...How could this be!?

???
You won't get away with this, Sir Finn.
My plans will not be impeded!

???
No matter what...!

Finn
Huff...huff...

Kyle
Holy crap... You took out a monster—a real
monster—with a single blow.

Snow White
Finn...

Snow White
Or should I say, Sir Knight...

Snow White
(Why does it feel more familiar to call him
by that name...?)

Snow White
(It's almost like that's what I've always
called him...)

Snow White
Ah, the Princess! We've got to find a place
for her to rest!

A Girl With Purple Hair
Cinderella
Ngh...

Snow White
Oh! Everyone, the Princess has awakened!

Yunara Resident A
Well, she's lookin' right as rain!
Ain't that swell!

Finn
Yeah, that's a huge relief! How are you
feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?

Cinderella
Where are we? We were inside a silo
earlier, weren't we?

Finn
We're in Yunara Village. You fainted,
Your Highness. Don't you remember?

Cinderella
I did...? Now that you mention it,
that does sound vaguely familiar...

Finn
Not long after that, some pretty awful stuff
happened, and we had to evacuate here.

Cinderella
...Evacuate? You must tell me
everything.

Cinderella
So, the silo turned into some kind of
monster? And a girl was controlling it?

Finn
Right. We defeated it, but the girl got away.

Cinderella
That sounds pretty hard to believe, but
I don't think you and the entire village

Cinderella
would spin such a lie.

Cinderella
And, the way you bear your sword...
You're clearly a competent swordsman.

Cinderella
Your bearing reminds me of the old
knights who visit the castle.

Cinderella
It does make me believe that you could
cleave a monster in two.

Cinderella
Alright, I'll assume this is all true.
So, what about that girl?

Cinderella
Did she have any defining features?

Cinderella
Maybe she has already found her way
onto a wanted poster.

Finn
Well, she was petite.

Finn
Her hair was a shining purple, like a
gemstone.

Finn
Come to think of it, she was talking about
you like she knew you.

Cinderella
Well, sure. I'm the princess of this country.
Everybody knows me.

Finn
No, not in that sense. It was like she knew
you personally.

Cinderella
A girl with purple hair? I can't say I—
Hold on.

Cinderella
Going by that description...

Cinderella
No, it couldn't be.

Snow White
Does she sound familiar, Your Highness?

Cinderella
We're not acquainted, exactly, but I have
met a young girl much like that...

Cinderella
In my dreams.

Finn
Your dreams? So, then...
I take it you haven't met in person?

Cinderella
No, never.

Cinderella
But in my dreams she has always been a
friend to me.

Cinderella
We talk about absolutely everything,
like kindred spirits.

Snow White
Could you have met her as a child, but
forgotten about it?

Cinderella
I've asked other people about her,
but no one knew who I was talking about.

Cinderella
Ouch...!

Snow White
Are you hurt, Your Highness!?

Cinderella
No need to worry, I'm fine.

Cinderella
It's just that whenever I try to think about
her, my head starts to hurt, that's all.

Cinderella
More importantly, you managed to kill a
monster that was attacking me.

Cinderella
I believe that calls for an appropriate
reward.

Finn
I don't need anything like that!

Finn
Honestly, I just wanted to help you, and
my body kind of moved on its own.

Cinderella
Just wanted to help, you say...?

Cinderella
Seriously, do you really think you're in a
position to refuse? Look at the state of you!

Finn
Haha! I guess you really can tell that I'm
not exactly rich from a single glance...

Cinderella
And with that attitude, you never will be.

Cinderella
I swear, I've never met a man who willingly
turned down a reward.

Finn
Er... Did I offend you, Your Highness?

Cinderella
Yes, thoroughly!

Cinderella
(This man, so help me... Finn, was it?
I'll have to remember that name.)

Cinderella
On another note... Have I been in this
house before?

Yunara Resident A
Naw. We don't ever get guests as fancy as
you, Princess.

Cinderella
I see...

Yunara Resident B
But all the houses 'round here look pretty
similar.

Yunara Resident B
If you've ever stayed in one before, that
could be makin' you feel that way.

Cinderella
(So it's just déjà vu? But that doesn't
explain this sense of crushing sadness...)

Cinderella
...

Yunara Resident A
Gosh, that's gettin' to ya, huh? We'll get
you fixed up in another room, so—

Cinderella
No, that's alright. This is a fine place, and I
am very grateful for your hospitality.

Yunara Resident A
If you say so..!
Feel free to use it as ya see fit!

Cinderella
(Yes, this truly is a nice space.
Though, it resembles a place I despised.)

Cinderella
(One that I wanted to escape no matter
what...)

Villager's Voice
H-Hey! What d'you think you're doing?!

Villager's Voice
Somebody...anybody! Come quick!

Finn
Sounds like something's going on out there.

Snow White
I wonder what happened.

Fresalia Knight
You're all under arrest for treason!

Yunara Resident A
What'd we do to deserve that!?

Fresalia Knight
The heinous act of abducting the Princess,
what else?

Fresalia Knight
That calls for the death sentence a thousand
times over!

Finn
Whoa, hang on a sec! No one abducted
anyone!

Finn
The Princess has just been resting here
since a while ago!

Fresalia Knight
Ah, so you're the mastermind.
Lock him up!

Snow White
Lock him up? That's absurd!

Fresalia Knight
Another accomplice, huh? What a pain.
Alright, arrest them all!

Cinderella
What is going on here? These people have
done nothing wrong.

Fresalia Knight
Your Highness! You're unharmed!

Cinderella
You've ignored the one person you ought to
be arresting.

Fresalia Knight
Who might that be...?

Cinderella
Why, me.

Fresalia Knight
I-I would never! How could you even
suggest such a thing!?

Cinderella
I left the castle of my own volition.

Cinderella
Shouldn't that make me the only one
deserving of punishment?

Cinderella
Go on, lock me up. I insist.

Fresalia Knight
A-Absolutely not! A princess's word or not,
that's completely unreasonable!

Cinderella
Fine, then call for a carriage. I'll return and
explain the circumstances myself.

Fresalia Knight
...As you wish. I'll arrange for one right
away.

Cinderella
Well, that settles that. So much for that
moment of respite.

Cinderella
Thank you for your hospitality.

Yunara Resident A
It was an honor to host ya!
You're welcome back here anytime!

Cinderella
That sounds lovely.

Cinderella
I must also thank you, Finn.
And your two companions, too.

Snow White
No, it was nothing!

Kyle
Yeah, I didn't really...do much, so...

Cinderella
Ah, why don't you join me?
You're all headed back towards

Cinderella
the castle, aren't you?

Fresalia Knight
I'm terribly sorry, but the carriage can
only accommodate one other person...

Cinderella
Tsk, ever the stickler. Well, no matter.

Cinderella
One of you may still ride with me, so
discuss it among yourselves.

Kyle
I'm fine with walking. You should go, Snow.

Snow White
Are you sure?

Kyle
Yep. If my parents heard I'd swiped that
seat, I'd be in for a walloping.

Kyle
Besides, I've still got an errand to run.

Snow White
I'll be going with Her Highness, then.
Thank you, Kyle!

Cinderella
You'll be joining me? Good. Come on, then.

Snow White
Y-Yes, Your Highness!
I really appreciate it!

Cinderella
Finn, thank you again.
I must insist on some sort of reward.

Finn
No, that's really not—

Cinderella
I have my pride, you know.
As a member of the royal family.

Finn
...Yes, Your Highness.
I'll leave it up to you, then.

Cinderella
Oh, yes. You'll get your just desserts.

Finn
(That, uh...is something most people would
use as a threat, but I suppose it suits her.)

Finn
Oh, right. Hey, Snow!
I'll be heading to your town next!

Snow White
Oh, I'll, um... I'll be waiting for you!

Finn
Sure, it's a promise!

Fresalia Knight
...Your Highness? Your carriage awaits.

Cinderella
Ah, yes. Shall we?

Kyle
Right, I'm off.

Finn
Wait, Kyle! Thanks for letting me borrow
the sword. Here—

Kyle
It's fine, you keep it. As thanks for all
your help.

Finn
I couldn't. It belongs to you. Besides, I've
got my own sword back at home.

Kyle
Oh, okay.

Kyle
But if you hadn't been there...
I'm pretty sure I would have died.

Kyle
And Snow, she's better off...

Finn
Hm? What about her?

Kyle
Uh, never mind. See you around, Finn.

Finn
Sure, catch you later!

Finn
That whole ordeal, huh?

Finn
(When I killed that monster...I felt a
memory tickling at the edge of my mind.)

Finn
(I can wield a sword well enough, but...)

Finn
(That was the sort of skill you'd see from
an actual knight.)

Finn
(But I'm still me. The same Finn who was
born and raised in Yunara...)

Finn
(So, who was the other me that I
somehow have memories of?)

Finn
And why does it still feel like something's
missing...? If only I could remember what...

Shadowy Girl
Welcome back. How was it outside? Cold?

???
...

Shadowy Girl
Everything is going according to the plan.

Shadowy Girl
Plenty of people from the outside world have
gotten swept up into this one.

Shadowy Girl
Still, there are a few who seem to be
somewhat restless.

Shadowy Girl
You are doing your due diligence, yes?

???
I-I'll...do better next time.

Shadowy Girl
Mm, that would be for the best. If you want
to accomplish your goal.

Shadowy Girl
We mustn't let those two run amok, nor
underestimate their sheer strength of will.

???
I swear, I'll do better next time.
For her sake, I'd—

Shadowy Girl
Then, we'll have to make this "next time"
come about quickly.

Shadowy Girl
Moreover, the Princess is regaining her
memories.

Shadowy Girl
It would be troublesome if they all
returned to her, wouldn't it?

???
Cinderella...

???
There's no need to worry. I have already
begun to execute my next move.

???
If I can't eliminate those two, then I'll just
rewrite the entire world.

???
That's how I'll break them.

Shadowy Girl
I look forward to seeing a proper display of
your power.

Rattle, rattle...

The carriage sways as it trundles along the
path. There is little conversation between

the two ladies inside, their attention
focused on the passing forest.

Before long, they come to a hill.

As they leave the wooded scenery behind,
the Princess asks...

Cinderella
So, who are you to Finn?

Snow White
Um, I... Sorry?

Cinderella
I'm not a fan of beating around bushes, so
let's cut to the chase, shall we?

Cinderella
Are you two together?

Snow White
O-Of course not! We only met yesterday,
so...

Cinderella
Still, you must feel something for him.

Snow White
W-Well, um...

Cinderella
Hm, I suppose I'll have to drop him a few
hints myself, then.

Snow White
What!? Y-You really...

Cinderella
Oh, pay it no mind. I was only kidding.

Cinderella
You're so precious, I couldn't help but tease
you.

Cinderella
And besides, I dare say there's no room for
me there.

Snow White
What do you mean by that?

Cinderella
That Finn is head over heels for you.

Snow White
Ohhh, no. There's absolutely no way!
That's impossible!

Snow White
I'm not strong like you, Your Highness.
Or all that pretty...

Cinderella
Come now, I won't hear any of it. Why are
you so eager to put yourself down?

Snow White
I'm sorry...

Cinderella
Though, to be fair...I am a tempestuous
force of nature, with a radiance that compels

Cinderella
people to prostrate themselves at my feet.

Cinderella
Moreover, I possess unparalleled reflexes,
a wealth of experiences, and unfathomable

Cinderella
depths of knowledge. I am the embodiment
of perfection.

Cinderella
And yet, you possess something that I do not.

Snow White
I do...?

Cinderella
Yes, as much as it pains me to admit it.

Cinderella
Which is why you can't berate yourself.
It becomes a slight on me, too.

Snow White
...You really are amazing. I don't think I
could ever compliment anyone like that.

Cinderella
Oh, that wasn't my intention. Who would be
so foolish as to praise their romantic rival?

Snow White
...Come again!?

Cinderella
Again, I jest. You really are just the
sweetest thing.

Snow White
...I can't help but feel like I'm always
playing right into your hands.

Cinderella
Please, don't let it bother you.

Cinderella
I'm simply trying pass the time with some
entertaining chitchat.

Cinderella
Ah, we're approaching the castle town.

Cinderella
Would it be easier for you to ride with us to
the courtyard, and return home from there?

Snow White
No, it's fine! You can let me off right here.
Thank you so much for your kindness!

Cinderella
I see. Well, if you insist, we shall do just
that.

Snow White
Let's talk again sometime, Your Highness.
I really enjoyed it!

Cinderella
Yes, it was fun.

Cinderella
How long has it been since I last talked
to someone my own age...?

Cinderella
...There is quite a thick fog about, though.
Are you sure you'll be alright?

Snow White
Yes, I don't have very far to walk.

Cinderella
Alright. I hope we can meet again.
Maybe I'll send along a messenger.

Snow White
I'll be waiting!

Cinderella
Wonderful. Take care, Snow.

Snow White
Haah...

Snow White
(I can't believe I was sitting that close to the
Princess, chatting like we were friends!)

Snow White
Heehee! It was just like a dream...

Snow White
Romantic rivals, huh...

Snow White
(If she really does have genuine feelings
for Finn, there's no way I'd win...)

Snow White
(No, I can't think like that! Not after I
just promised not to badmouth myself!)

Snow White
I'll do my best to measure up to the
Princess...

Snow White
Still, this really is an awful lot of fog.

Snow White
Mother? Father? I'm home!
Isn't that fog outside dreadful?

Snow White
Have you already taken the laundry inside?

Snow White
...Father?

Snow White
(That's strange. Why isn't anyone
answering?)

Snow White
Oh, there you are. I didn't realize you were
in the middle of cooking—

Snow White's Father
!!!

Snow White
Sorry, did I startle you? I was asking about
the laun—

Snow White's Father
Wh-Who are you!?

Snow White
Huh?

I Won't Forget
Snow White's Father
I said, who are you!?

Snow White
C-Come on, Father... Don't be like that.

Snow White
Y-You're joking, right?
That's so mean...

Snow White's Father
Who would joke around about a stranger
barging into their home!?

Snow White's Father
What do you want from us?

Snow White
...What? Don't you...remember me?

Snow White's Father
There's nothing to remember.
I've never seen you before.

Snow White's Father
You don't look like you live here.
So, then...are you a traveler?

Snow White's Father
If you're looking for lodging, I can show you
to an inn.

Snow White
(He looks completely serious about this.)

Snow White
It's me, Snow! Father, you have to
remember!

Snow White's Father
I keep telling you, I don't know who you
are!

Snow White
(He really doesn't. What's going on...?)

Snow White
(...Oh, right! I should ask Mother! She will
know!)

Snow White
...Mother! Mother!
Father's acting oddly!

Snow White's Father
Hey, stop! Who said you could go there!?

Snow White
Mother! Father is—

Snow White's Mother
Goodness! Who might you be?

Snow White
Wh-Who...? You don't remember me either?

Snow White's Father
You can't just go darting off through
people's houses!

Snow White's Father
Do you know who this girl is?

Snow White's Mother
No, I can't say I do... After all, I'm sure I'd
remember a girl this lovely.

Snow White
...Neither of you have any idea who I am.

Snow White's Father
Look, I don't know what's going on,
but I won't stand for this disturbance.

Snow White's Father
As you can see, my wife needs her rest.

Snow White's Father
I can offer you a meal, but...
After that, you have to—

Snow White
Why won't you remember!?

Snow White
Oh, I know! My room was over here...!

Snow White
H-Huh!? I-It's gone...!

Snow White
But how?

Snow White's Father
All the evidence says that this isn't your
house. Are you convinced now?

Snow White
...

Snow White's Father
Are you sure I can't show you to an inn?

Snow White
...It's fine.

Snow White's Father
If you're really stuck, you can always go stay
at the church. They don't turn anyone away.

Snow White
Okay...

Snow White's Father
Well, take care.

Snow White
(How is this even happening...? What could
have—)

Snow White
(Oh! There might be a townsperson who
knows me...)

Snow White
(Let's see, places where people gather...)

Snow White
(Right, there was that one that Kyle
mentioned the other day!)

Snow White
(I'm not sure what's going on, but...
Someone here must know me...!)

Snow White
Oh, that's Kyle's father!
Hello, sir!

Fruit Vendor
Hm? Who, me?

Snow White
It's me, Snow!

Fruit Vendor
Um, sure...

Snow White
Don't you...know me?

Fruit Vendor
Oh, er... I'm guessing you're one of my
customers, but...

Fruit Vendor
Sorry, I honestly couldn't say.

Snow White
No way...

Townsperson A
Hey! Hittin' on young ladies at your age?
You've got guts, old man!

Townsperson B
Your wife's gonna give you an earful!

Townsperson C
Who is that lovely lass, anyway?
Where'd you come from, Miss?

Snow White
...None of you remember me?
I'm Snow!

Snow White
We spoke just this morning!
You even called me by my name!

Townsperson A
Uh, sorry...

Townsperson B
Can't say it rings a bell.

Townsperson C
Same here.

Snow White
...Seriously, what is happening here!?
Everyone...you've all—

Townsperson A
Whoops, she ran off. Should we do
something?

Townsperson B
Like what? Can't help that we don't know
her.

Townsperson C
What'd she call herself? "Snow?"
Never seen a girl like that in town.

Snow White
(How is it that not a single person
remembers me?)

Snow White
It couldn't be that my memories are wrong...
could it?

Snow White
I've lived here in the castle town...my whole
life...

Snow White
(Nothing should be wrong about that fact,
but something feels wrong.)

Snow White
(I just don't know what...)

Snow White
Oh, Kyle! You made it back!
How was the walk home?

Kyle
...And you are?

Snow White
...!

Kyle
Seriously, who are you?

Snow White
K-Kyle, not you too...?
But we only just parted ways...

Kyle
"Just parted ways"? I just went alone to
the village, on an errand for my father...

Snow White
You couldn't have! I was there, too!

Kyle
...Sorry, but I don't even know you.
Look, I'm kind of wiped for some reason,

Kyle
so I really just want to go home.

Kyle
Excuse me.

Snow White
I don't believe it... Even Kyle's forgotten
me...

Snow White
What's going on? Do I even actually exist...?
Did I ever have a place to call home...?

Snow White
I'm so scared... And lonely...
Somebody, please... Help me...

???
Everything's alright now.

Snow White
!

Snow White
You were the one who made that silo
monster...!

???
Just set that aside for now and hear me out.
Okay, Snow White?

Snow White
How do you...know who I am?

???
Why wouldn't I? I know all about you.

???
Even if no one else does...I still do.

???
You're Snow White. Diligent, hard-working...
The darling of the town.

???
Being forgotten is painful.
But I'm not like everyone else.

???
I'll always remember you.

???
So, won't you open up your heart...
and let me in?

Snow White
You'll always remember me...?

???
Yes, forever and ever...

???
You only have to open your heart...and hand
over your power...

???
Then, you'll never be alone again.

Snow White
(I don't want...to be alone... Not in a world
where no one knows me...)

Snow White
(Where no one loves me...)

Inner Voice [Woman]
"Snow."

Snow White
(Who am I hearing in my head? Just
hearing her voice makes me want to cry...)

Inner Voice [Woman]
"You hold such loyalty and love in your
heart."

Inner Voice [Woman]
"Be strong, Snow, and be brave."

Snow White
(Loyalty and love...)

Inner Voice [Girl]
"You'd better! ...Snow.
I'll always, always love you!"

Snow White
(I know this voice, too...)

Inner Voice [Kind]
"Thank you...for being my daughter.
I won't ever stop loving you..."

Snow White
(How could I have possibly forgotten...about
all these precious people...!)

Lasting Memories
"When that time comes, will you hear me
out?"

Lasting Memories
"Of course."

Snow White
(Finn... No, wait... It's Sir Knight!)

???
...Snow White? What's wrong? I'm your only
ally. You understand that, right?

Snow White
No, I have plenty of people on my side.

Snow White
I remember everything...
This is your dreamscape!

Snow White
...A Little, Bright Garden!

???
No...! Kgh!

???
I was so close...!

???
If your memories have returned, then there's
no need for me to play games anymore.

???
The power to purify and purge all the
wicked forces found in the dream world—

???
As useful as it might be...
If I can't have it, I will eradicate it!

???
Dream of mine... Remove this girl from
my sight!

???
An Ashen Garden!

Snow White
(The ground is rippling...! And the houses
and trees...are turning against me!?)

Snow White
(So, her power allows her to manipulate
anything in the dream at will?)

Snow White
Hngh...! I won't lose!
A Little, Bright Garden!!!

Snow White
(...Huh!? It's no use! There's just too many
of them!)

Snow White
(I'm completely overwhelmed...!)

???
Everything here is at my beck and call...
Let's finish this!

???
An Ashen Ga—

Finn
SNOW!

Snow White
Sir Knight!

Finn
Sorry I'm late! Are you okay?

Snow White
Just fine! But why are you here?

Finn
Things at my village got weird, and I
figured you might be in the same situation.

Finn
Then I saw this battle happening.

???
Why are you so determined to hinder me—
hinder her?

???
My dream doesn't need any obstacles.

???
I'll destroy you both and wipe you from this
world for good!

Princess Talia
The wheels of fate are shifting...

They may grind on day after day without
change, but even one millimeter's difference

can make everything fall apart.

I was all too ignorant...of reality.

Cinderella
Cough, cough...

Cinderella
(Coughing hurts, and everything is blurry...
It's hard to even just exist.)

Cinderella
(But I want to hang on for as long as I
can...)

Cinderella
(Because there's someone I want to keep
seeing.)

Cinderella
(Hm? Someone's outside. That voice sounds
like...)

Cinderella's Mother
Urp...

Cinderella's Mother
So? What d'ya want?

Girl from Long Ago
I told you, I want to see Cinderella.
I've only asked fifty times.

Cinderella's Mother
Heh, you a friend o' hers? Hic...

Cinderella's Mother
So that piece o' trash can still make friends,
eh?

Girl from Long Ago
Now that's just uncalled for!

Cinderella's Mother
I'm the one who made her 'n raised her.
That makes her my property, don't it?

Cinderella's Mother
But lately, she ain't comin' outta her room
at all.

Cinderella's Mother
Just slackin' off and doin' jack shit.
Damn good-for-nothin' daughter.

Girl from Long Ago
That's going too far! She's a human girl, not
livestock!

Cinderella's Mother
You just mind your own business, 'kay?

Cinderella's Mother
Didn't your mama ever teach ya not to
stick your nose where it don't belong?

Girl from Long Ago
...

Cinderella's Mother
Huh, ain't you dressed all fancy. Kinda
like that squirt who lives in the castle...

Cinderella's Mother
Eh, whatever. You wanna see that kid?
Alright then, fork it over.

Girl from Long Ago
Fork what over?

Cinderella's Mother
The toll, duh. What, too good to spare a few
coins? Some friend you are.

Girl from Long Ago
...I loathe you, from the bottom of my heart.
Take what you want and begone!

Cinderella's Mother
Well now, ain't you generous!
Nice timin', I'm all outta booze.

Cinderella's Mother
Go on up, Madame Friend.

Girl from Long Ago
...Sorry to bother you.

Cinderella
Cough, cough...
Oh! You came to see me?

Girl from Long Ago
You don't have to get up, it's fine.
...Are you sure you're okay, though?

Cinderella
Eh, it's nothing. Just a cold.

Cinderella
Really, I've just got a cough, that's all.
Aside from that, I'm the picture of health.

Cinderella
More importantly, aren't you going to get
in trouble for slipping away again?

Girl from Long Ago
I don't care what anyone says.
You're my one and only friend.

Cinderella
Hm... You don't say.

Girl from Long Ago
...Here. I made this for you, as a
get-well-soon gift.

Cinderella
Oh, wow... You even put gemstones on her
dress. It's a beautiful doll, thank you.

Girl from Long Ago
It's fine, you can be honest and say it's lousy.
You know I'm no good at this kind of thing.

Girl from Long Ago
This was the best I could manage...

Cinderella
No, I love her expression. I'll cherish her.

Girl from Long Ago
...

Girl from Long Ago
Then, I'll make you another! So—

Cinderella
I already told you, it's just a cold.
You shouldn't worry so much.

Girl from Long Ago
Cinderella...

Cinderella
You know, when I look out the window and
see the castle where you live...

Cinderella
I can't help but wonder... If I had been born
into a rich family and had kind parents

Cinderella
like yours, if I lived a happy life like you...

Girl from Long Ago
I'll talk to my parents! We'll invite you to
the castle, and we'll live there together!

Girl from Long Ago
I'm sure they'll say yes. I promise!

Girl from Long Ago
And then we can meet and chat every
evening and all!

Cinderella
That sounds lovely...

I wanted to be with her forever and always...

My most precious friend.

Cinderella
Right, your name is...Talia.

???
Huff... Huff... Ngh...

Snow White
Please, you have to stop!
You've already used up all your power!

Finn
She's right. If you push yourself any
further, you're just going to get hurt!

???
No... I can't! I refuse to let this world die!
Even if it means...that I'll disappear...!

Snow White
Why go that far...?

???
Dream of mine, lend me your power!

Finn
Tsk... We're just going to have to fight!

Cinderella
...Stop right there, all of you!

???
How did you... What are you doing here?

Cinderella
I remembered everything, Talia.
Absolutely everything...

Talia
...So it would seem.

Cinderella
How could you be so boneheaded!?
I swear, you're the biggest idiot I know...

Cinderella
You don't need to do all that for me.

Talia
Cinderella... I'm glad that we could talk
again. But it's too late!

Cinderella
You've planned something worse than
this...!? I'm begging you, please stop!

Talia
...

Cinderella
...Talia!

Snow White
She disappeared...

Finn
You said that girl's called Talia?

Cinderella
Yes, that's correct!
She's the true Princess of Fresalia.

Finn
Wait, what do you mean by that!?

Alice
Phew! I finally made it!

Alice
Took me longer than it took Polly to
put that kettle on, but I'm here ♪

Finn
It's good to see you, Alice!

Alice
I'm so glad you're both alright! And you're
not under the dream's spell anymore, either!

Alice
And geeeeez, Snow!
You're one of Hypnos's Avatars!

Alice
You shouldn't be getting tripped up so
easily in someone else's dream!

Snow White
I'm sorry, Master...

Tavun Rabbit
That again! I wish you would stop calling
our youthful Miss Alice by such a stuffy title!

Cinderella
I, er, don't mean to be rude, but...
Who might you two be?

Alice
Oh, Cinderella! It's so nice to meet you!
I'm Alice, a, uh...

Alice
Hm... I guess it'll be easier if you think
of me as a dreamworld fairy?

Tavun Rabbit
And I am the Tavun Rabbit! I am this
sagacious young lady's loyal servant.

Tavun Rabbit
Pleased to make your acquaintance!

Cinderella
There certainly are all kinds of fairies...

Cinderella
But back to the matter at hand!
We must stop Talia!

Alice
Oooh, yes! The Sleeping Beauty!
Okey-dokey! We've gotcha covered!

Finn
...Huh? When you say "Sleeping Beauty,"
you're talking about Talia, right?

Alice
Yep, exactly.

Alice
Her Reverie Power has covered her entire
kingdom in thorns and put it to sleep.

Alice
Of course, she's fast asleep too, in the most
beautiful castle you've ever seen!

Alice
So, a beautiful, sleeping princess...
She's got to be Sleeping Beauty!

Tavun Rabbit
As expected of the wisest of maidens!

Tavun Rabbit
You could not have picked a more suitable
name!

Finn
So, what's Sleeping Beauty's...
Er, Talia's "Reverie Power"?

Alice
I'm still not too sure about the nitty-gritty,
but it's forced all her subjects into

Alice
a deep slumber.

Tavun Rabbit
Which is not the only problem! This sleepy
region is attracting more and more people!

Tavun Rabbit
One might call it mass sleeposis!

Alice
Since things got really bad, Hypnos sent
us dream spirits out to investigate.

Alice
Except, Snow fell for Sleeping Beauty's
trick, hook, line and sinker.

Snow White
I'm so sorry! If only I'd been more careful...

Finn
I get it now. Alice, you called me here to
help rescue her, right?

Alice
That's right. Ever the observant hero! ♪

Finn
But, uh... If you'd stopped to explain the
situation, I might've done a better job.

Alice
That's how much of a rush I was in! Besides,
I had no clue what was going on in here!

Finn
What have you been up to this whole time?
Is there a reason you're showing up now?

Alice
I thought I'd wait and see whether or not
you'd make it out of Sleeping Beauty's spell.

Alice
If it didn't look like you'd wake up,
then I was going to step in.

Tavun Rabbit
My, our Miss Alice is so sensible!
What grace under fire!

Tavun Rabbit
Such level-headedness!
Truly, the most intelligent of ladies!

Cinderella
If you don't mind my asking... If you're
capable of calling for outside assistance,

Cinderella
why not summon a lot of powerful allies
and just overwhelm the enemy?

Alice
...Oh.

Tavun Rabbit
Th-That's because Miss Alice has
considered every possible contingency!

Cinderella
Such as?

Tavun Rabbit
E-Er, well... Likeyouknowthis...
Andevenlikethat... Those sorts of things!

Tavun Rabbit
Wouldn't you agree, Miss Alice?

Alice
That's right! I thought that something like
this or that might definitely happen, maybe!

Cinderella
...Should we really rely on these two?

Alice
Anyway, we need to work on stopping
Sleeping Beauty! Everything else can wait!

Cinderella
I couldn't agree more, but what exactly is
Talia planning?

Cinderella
Why gather so many people together?

Finn
Any ideas, Alice?

Alice
I would guess it's to make her power even
stronger, but... I'm not sure what then.

Alice
Whatever the goal, I'm pretty sure it's
nothing good.

Finn
Well, we can figure it out later.

Finn
For now, we'd better focus on finding
Sleeping Be—I mean, Talia.

Snow White
Sir Knight? I've been sensing some kind of
strange power for a little while now.

Finn
You have?

Snow White
Yes, it's both familiar...and repulsive.

Alice
Yep, I can feel it too.
It's coming from the top of the castle!

Cinderella
That reminds me, my father would always
warn me never to go in that room.

Finn
(That's probably how Talia's hiding her
location, since she can control this world.)

Finn
Well, we don't have any better ideas now,
and it's better to be wrong than too late.

Finn
Let's go check it out!

Snow White
Yes, let's go...!

The Dream Ends
Sleeping Beauty
Huff...huff...

Shadowy Girl
My goodness. What's got you so out of
breath?

Sleeping Beauty
Do you even need to ask? Cinderella's
reclaimed all of her memories...

Sleeping Beauty
Say, what if I asked you to lend me some
power?

Sleeping Beauty
Would you indulge me?

Shadowy Girl
And what, precisely, do you plan on doing
with it?

Sleeping Beauty
Isn't it obvious? Eradicate those interlopers,
so that Cinderella can keep dreaming.

Sleeping Beauty
I've already come so far. I can't give up
now!

Shadowy Girl
You really are a true friend...
And so fiercely determined, too.

Shadowy Girl
Alright, I'll assist you.
It's time to fulfill the plan.

Sleeping Beauty
Really!?
But aren't we still low on dream power?

Shadowy Girl
That won't be a problem for me.
Or rather, it would be a problem for

Shadowy Girl
anyone but me. Have a little faith,
would you?

Sleeping Beauty
Right... Have faith in the strength of your
ability to make dreams real...

Shadowy Girl
You have no choice, if you want to protect
her. Don't worry, I won't fail.

Sleeping Beauty
You're sure this will work...?

Shadowy Girl
Rest easy, and let me take over.

Sleeping Beauty
(...Cinderella, I would do anything for you.
Anything.)

Sleeping Beauty
(Even if it means wasting away...
I would, just to save you!)

Sleeping Beauty
I'll be counting on you...Snow Black!

Snow Black
Yes, just leave it to me.

Cinderella
If Talia is behind this door, I want to help
her. No matter what.

Finn
Of course, she's your friend.
You have my full support, all the way!

Snow White
Mine too! I'll do my best.
We'll definitely save her!

Cinderella
In that case, I'll be countin—

Cinderella
No, I'll be forever in your debt!
Thank you both so much!

Alice
Oooooh, I don't knooooow...

Finn
What's wrong?

Alice
Something's just not adding up. Did Talia
really do this all on her own?

Finn
Wait, you mean...

Snow White
You think she has an accomplice, don't you,
Master?

Alice
Yep, exactly. Also, you reeeeally don't have
to call me that.

Finn
An accomplice, huh?

Finn
Well, the list of people who can interfere
with dreams is an awfully short one.

Snow White
I suspect it's who you're thinking of,
Sir Knight.

Snow White
What I've been sensing is something that I
know all too well.

Snow White
...It's Snow Black.

Snow White
There's no doubt about it. She must be
behind that door too.

Finn
She must be trying to take back power.

Alice
Geez, that girl! Up to no good again!

Finn
This time, we'll smash her to pieces!
It's not like anyone'll miss her!

Snow Black
Have you lot finished strategizing yet?
Long time no see, Sir Hero.

Snow Black
Oh, and Snow White...
I've been dying to meet you again. ♪

Snow White
Snow Black! We're going to destroy you
and this nightmare both!

Snow Black
I will be doing the destroying here.
This time, my nightmare will flourish.

Snow Black
Much like it has within her...

Nightmare Beauty
Hgggnh... A-Aaaaah...!

Cinderella
TALIA!

Snow Black
Perfect, the transfer is complete.

Cinderella
What did you do to my friend? I won't let
you get away with it!

Snow Black
You really ought to learn how to control
that temper of yours.

Snow Black
It makes it all too easy to take advantage
of you, False Princess.

Snow Black
Besides, she asked for this herself.

Snow Black
This girl gave up her own body to have her
wish fulfilled.

Snow Black
For whose sake do you suppose that was,
hm?

Snow Black
Yours, of course.

Nightmare Beauty
Cinder...ella...

Cinderella
Talia...!

Snow Black
Such a heartfelt reunion...
As long as you enjoy tragedies.

Snow Black
I hate to put a damper on things, but...

Snow Black
You're all as good as dead.

Finn
What's going on!? It's not just the ground—
the sky's shaking, too!

Finn
How is everything shaking!?

Alice
This is really, really bad!
Talia's dreamscape is collapsing!

Tavun Rabbit
We're really in the soup now...!

Nightmare Beauty
Snow Black, why...?

Nightmare Beauty
Why is my dream...coming to an end...?

Nightmare Beauty
Tell me...

Snow Black
Why, I stole all the dream power here for
myself, of course.

Nightmare Beauty
How could you...? You told me that you
would make my dream real...!

Snow Black
Heehee... Ahahaha! ♪
I was lying, obviously!

Snow Black
Oh, my poor, sweet Talia.
You're doomed to sink into darkness...

Snow Black
And you couldn't even save your beloved
friend.

Nightmare Beauty
No...

Snow Black
I hope you enjoy an eternity asleep among
the thorns.

Cinderella
Why has my body gone transparent...?

Snow Black
Because you're waking up, False Princess.

Cinderella
And why isn't Talia moving!?
Answer me, Snow Black!

Snow Black
Who cares about the master of a collapsed
dream?

Snow Black
One thing is certain.
She won't be waking up.

Snow Black
She'll be wandering the dregs of this
dream forever.

Snow Black
Heehee... ♪
Isn't that fabulous?

Snow White
Snow Black...
How can you be so despicable?

Snow Black
Why, thank you for those kind words.

Cinderella
Talia... I don't know what to do...
I don't think there's anything I can do...

Snow White
Don't worry, Cinderella.
We'll definitely bring her back.

Alice
Yep! The world of dreams is our domain!
She couldn't be in better hands!

Cinderella
Please... Please save her!
She's my only friend!

Finn
We won't let you down!
Rescuing is what we do best!

Cinderella
I'll be counting on you...

Finn
Where...are we?

Alice
We're in the space that marks the dream's
limits.

Alice
Usually, only those who live in dreams
can pass through these.

Snow White
Snow Black... I won't let you have your
way!

Snow Black
Funny, I've always thought the same thing
about you.

Snow Black
I suppose it comes from having once been
the very same "Snow."

Finn
You and Snow aren't the least bit alike!

Snow Black
Well, it's true that Malas's soul is my core.

Snow Black
However, I became my own person by
taking Snow White's magic.

Snow Black
That makes us the same. Closer than
sisters, yet not quite one being...

Snow Black
Which is why I'm going to miss you when
you're gone.

Snow Black
So, let us begin! Once I get rid of you,
Snow...I'll finally be able to live as myself!

Snow Black
As the queen of the dream world, with the
power to do whatever I desire!

Snow White
We won't let you do that!
Snow Black, your scheme ends here!

Snow Black
True, your power does have the ability to
negate my own, but...

Snow Black
How would it fare against this girl's?

Nightmare Beauty
...

Finn
Wha—!
Snow Black, you...!

Snow White
You're wicked, through and through.

Snow Black
It's fine, say whatever you like.
Go, my thorny Nightmare Beauty!

A Sleeping World
All these dark memories...

All the days filled with hardship...

That's what I was trying to...

Cinderella
Cough, cough... Cough, cough!

Talia
Cinderella...

Talia
I'm so, so sorry...! I swore that you could
come and live with me at the castle, but...

Talia
I couldn't keep that promise...

Cinderella
No, it's fine... I mean it.
Please don't look so sad.

Cinderella
Having you here is enough for me.
You make me happy.

Talia
...My parents just don't get it!

Talia
Cinderella.
You're the most wonderful person around...

Talia
And yet, no one's coming to your rescue.
I hate this world.

Cinderella
Well, I love it, because it gave me what
I needed, right at the very end...

Cinderella
Cough, cough...! Huff... Huff...

Talia
No...! Don't say things like that.
We're going to be together forever...!

Talia
I used to be all alone, too. It was just me,
in the middle of that dark castle.

Talia
I was the one who needed you.
All this time, I'd—

Cinderella
Cough, cough, cough...!

Talia
If you can't be happy...then, this world is
all wrong!

Talia
So, I'll just...

Cinderella
Ta...lia...?

Talia
When I was born, thirteen fairies blessed
me each in turn.

Talia
With beauty, virtue, wealth, wisdom...

Talia
But the thirteenth fairy cursed me with
Reverie Power.

Talia
Growing up, I was told that I must never
use it.

Talia
But I don't care anymore. The rest of this
world can die, so long as you're spared.

Talia
...I hope you find happiness.

Talia
I'll send you to the land that exists in the
deepest sleep...the land of dreams.

Talia
Sleep well, Cinderella...

So, I created this dreamscape...

It was all to rescue a single girl.

That pure, naive desire, born from a
desperation piercing my heart like thorns...

Cinderella
Is this...the village?

Cinderella
(I've woken up, so that must mean I'm in
the real world.)

Cinderella
Cough, cough...!

Cinderella
(My throat hurts, my chest is tight,
my head is throbbing...)

Cinderella
(My whole body is screaming, telling me
not to move...)

Cinderella
But I...can't stop now.

Cinderella
My best friend is waiting for me!

Cinderella
Ah!

Cinderella
(Everyone's fast asleep... There are a few I
recognize, and some that I don't, but...)

Cinderella
(Not a single person is awake.)

Cinderella
(This is Talia's doing, right? She sacrificed
herself...just to save me.)

Cinderella
...Thank you, Talia. Just hold on, I won't be
long!

Nightmare Beauty
...An Ashen Garden!

Finn
Ngh...! Aaaaaugh!

Finn
Such power...! So this is what she's really
capable of!

Alice
A Little Garden!!

Alice
...Geez, she's strong! It's taking everything
just to block her!

Alice
Snow Black's power is amplifying the
attack, too...

Alice
This is really, really tricky!

Tavun Rabbit
At this rate, we'll have to give Sleeping
Beauty a good beating to stop her!

Finn
Hang on, we can't do that! Talia's being
manipulated. It's not her fault.

Snow White
I'll take down Snow Black with my power!
Then, we can wake Talia up!

Snow Black
Yes, that's right... That's your only option!

Snow Black
But is it a wise one? If you were to use
A Little, Bright Garden here...

Snow Black
This pitiful princess, the very
embodiment of a nightmare,

Snow Black
would turn to foam and disappear.

Snow Black
Well? Will you still use that power on me?
Oh, no. You couldn't possibly! Ahahaha! ♪

Snow White
...!

Snow Black
Now, let's end this. Show them no mercy,
my Nightmare Beauty!

Cinderella
Huff...huff...

Cinderella
Kgh...! Cough, cough!

Cinderella
(Ugh, blood... But I won't be deterred!
She's over there, waiting for me!)

Cinderella
Urk...

Cinderella
(I can't collapse... Not here...
If I do, then Talia will...)

Cinderella
(Pull yourself together, Cinderella! It might
have been a lie, but you were a princess!)

Cinderella
(And a princess must always be dignified,
and never give up, no matter what!)

Cinderella
Huff... Huff... Huff...

Cinderella
(I finally made it... Talia, where are you?)

Cinderella
...!

Cinderella
No... Talia...

Cinderella
(All those vines coiling around her—their
thorns are all stabbing into her body...)

Cinderella
(There's so much blood.)

Cinderella
(She must have been pierced thousands of
times for those thorns to be dyed that dark.)

Cinderella
You fool... Talia, you idiot...

Cinderella
You said...this was...to save me?

Cinderella
But now...look at you...!
You suffered through so much pain...

Cinderella
All by yourself...!

Cinderella
This is so... I just...
This is completely pointless!

Cinderella
(What I want more than anything isn't
gems, or fancy dresses, or being a princess!)

Cinderella
All I need is you...by my side...with a smile
as bright as the sun...

Cinderella
Wait for me, Talia. I'll be right there with
you soon!

Cinderella
...Ouch!

Cinderella
(These thorny vines are in the way. They're
here to keep me from getting to her...)

Cinderella
But what is...a little pain...

Cinderella
...Talia...

Cinderella
Ow...!

Cinderella
(I'm being stabbed all over by these thorns!
Ow, ow, ouch...!)

Cinderella
(No, I can handle this much. It's nothing
compared to the pain Talia must be in!)

Cinderella
(I won't give up, I swear!)

Cinderella
(I'll keep pushing through until I can give
you a big, warm hug!)

Cinderella
(Because that's what...a princess would
do, right?)

Cinderella
Ngh...! Aaaah... Hngh... A-Aaaaaugh...!

Cinderella
I love...you...

only Talia...)

Nrgh...!

Snow Black
This is as far as you go, Sir Hero.
I'm afraid this is farewell.

Snow Black
Enjoy eternity in an endless nightmare!

Snow Black
And now, the finishing blow!

Nightmare Beauty
An Ashen Ga—

(Talia...)

Snow Black
What are you waiting for, Nightmare
Beauty? Finish them.

Finn
(What's gotten into her...?)

Nightmare Beauty
Me too...

Nightmare Beauty
Cinderella, you're...

Nightmare Beauty
You're the most important person in the
world to me...

Snow Black
What do you think you're doing!?
I said—

Nightmare Beauty
Yes, I heard you, Snow Black!

Sleeping Beauty
...

Snow Black
Th-That's impossible! How did you break
free from my spell!?

Sleeping Beauty
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...
Coat this world in a thick, gray haze—

Sleeping Beauty
An Ashen Garden!

Snow Black
Ngh...! Ah!

Sleeping Beauty
Snow White... I need your help...!

Snow White
Of course...! A Little, Bright Garden!

Snow Black
No...! Aaaaaaaaaah!!!

Snow Black
Th-This...can't be happening...!
Wh-Why...isn't my power...?

Sleeping Beauty
Because we're bolstered by love.

Snow Black
That fickle emotion was my undoing!?

Snow Black
Tch! Very well, you win this round.
Curse you, Snow White!

Snow Black
Next time, you won't be so lucky... As long
as you live, I will persist in kind!

Snow White
Yes, I realize that. I won't try and run to
the safety of dreams anymore.

Snow White
I'm going to live fully as myself from now
on. I won't pretend you don't exist.

Snow White
You are my other half...Snow Black.

Snow Black
...Hmph. So, the once-sheltered girl can now
boldly claim that she's turning her back on

Snow Black
false happiness, huh?

Snow Black
You'd better not forget those words,
Snow White...my other half.

Snow Black
You really are such a nuisance...
You, and that stupidly stubborn princess.

Snow Black
So, that's...love, is it?

Finn
Does that mean it's over?

Snow White
Well, all dreams have to come to an end.
And...

A Promise Fulfilled
Cinderella
(The thorns...vanished?)

Ba-dump, ba-dump...

Cinderella
(Oh! I can hear her heartbeat!)

Cinderella
That means...you're alive...

Cinderella
Thank goodness...

Cinderella
Now I can...rest...

Townsperson A
Yaaawn! Wow, I slept like a rock.

Townsperson B
Me too, but... Why'd I fall asleep here?

Fruit Vendor
Whoops, zoned out for a moment there. If
my wife catches me slacking, I'll be in for it!

Kyle
...Huh? What was I doing again?

Yunara Resident A
You were dozin', too?

Yunara Resident B
Yep, but when'd I even fall asleep?

Yunara Resident C
I had this really long dream, but it felt
really short at the same time.

Alice
It looks like all the Fresalians who got
caught in this mess have woken up.

Alice
I'd say it's about time for us to head back
too.

Finn
Could you give me a moment first?

Alice
Sure, can do. It's about those two, right?

Snow White
Would it be alright if I went as well? I know
that as a denizen of the dream world

Snow White
I'm not in a position to be interacting with
the real world, but...

Alice
Alright, but just this once! I did put you
both through a lot of trouble, after all...

Snow White
Thank you, Master!

Alice
Like. I. SAID!

Alice
Can't you at least call me Miss Alice!?

Snow White
They all actually woke up! That's a relief.

Finn
It is, but we'd better hurry to the castle.
I'm really worried about those two!

Talia
Sniff... Hic...

Talia
Cinderella... Why did you... How could
you...

Finn
...Talia!

Snow White
Over there!
Oh, no... Did she...?

Talia
Since this is the real world, her illness
caught up to her, and...

Talia
I just didn't want to lose you!
Cinderella...!

Snow White
Just as they both managed to wake up...
This is...

Finn
Beyond cruel.

Cinderella
Hey now, can you save the mourning for
when I'm actually dead?

Finn
Huh?

Talia
C-Cinderella!? Y-You're alive!?

Cinderella
As you can plainly see.
I swear, you've got the brains of a rock.

Cinderella
Well, not that I'm much better. I cried
when I thought that I had lost you, too.

Finn
Wait, so...what happened?

Cinderella
Honestly, I couldn't say. But...I'm breathing
a little easier.

Cinderella
I don't feel so sluggish either, even though
I'm covered in cuts from all those thorns.

Cinderella
Though, the pain is proof that I'm alive.

Finn
Wait, how did you come back to life?

Cinderella
What was there to come back from?
I hadn't died in the first place.

Snow White
Oh, in that case...
It was likely Snow Black's doing.

Finn
She made the dream real?

Snow White
Yes, exactly.

Snow White
She used her powers to make
dream-Cinderella a part of reality.

Finn
But why would she bother?

Snow White
Hm, if I had to say...
It's probably her idea of harassment.

Snow White
Have fun with your miserable existence!
I hope you enjoy this worthless reality!

Snow White
...Well, something to that effect.

Finn
Ah, good point.
That does sound like her style.

Finn
Either way, I'm just glad that Cinderella's
okay.

Cinderella
Hello, I'm all covered in blood! How is that
"okay"? Are you blind, stupid, or both?

Finn
Oh! Er, sorry...

Cinderella
Heehee! Just kidding.
You all have my gratitude.

Cinderella
I can't thank you enough for everything
you've done.

Talia
It's good to see you again...Cinderella.

Cinderella
You, too. I'm glad you're back, Talia.

Finn
Looks like they'll be just fine. We'd better
get going, before Alice gets upset.

Snow White
Yes, you're right.

Snow White
(In the dream, this was my fake happy
family... I won't ever see them again, but...)

Snow White
(Still, I wanted to check in and see how
they're doing, just one last time...)

Snow White's Father
Can I help you, young lady?

Snow White
Um...

Snow White
No, I'm fine! I'm sorry to bother you.

Snow White's Father
Wait, hold on!

Snow White
Hm?

Snow White's Father
Sorry, I don't mean to keep you. It's just
that... I'm not sure why, but...

Snow White's Father
I feel compelled to tell you to take care on
your journey.

Snow White
Oh!

Snow White
Could you please tell Mo—the lady of the
house...that I hope she gets well soon?

Snow White's Father
Now, how would you know—
No, never mind.

Snow White's Father
Be careful out there!

Snow White
Thank you, I will! Farewell, both of you!

Snow White's Mother
Is something the matter, dear?

Snow White's Father
No, it's nothing. I was just thinking that if
we had a daughter, she'd be a lot like that.

Snow White's Father
Well! Why don't we have something special
for dinner tonight?

Snow White's Mother
Yes, that sounds lovely.

Snow White
Sir Knight!

Finn
Have you finished saying your goodbyes?

Snow White
Oops, cat's out of the bag.
Yes, everything's all settled!

Kyle
Um, 'scuse me!

Finn
You're...

Kyle
Um, you guys are travelers, right?
You should come back for another visit!

Kyle
That's all I wanted to say, so...

Snow White
Of course, we will. I promise!

Kyle
Great! And don't you forget it!
See you around.

Snow White
Even after leaving the dream, the
connections still linger, don't they?

Finn
People always remember the important stuff.
If not in their heads, then in their hearts.

Snow White
I agree.

Snow White
By the way! The last time we parted, you
made me a promise. Do you remember?

Finn
Um... Huh. What was it?
Ah... No, hang on, it'll come to me...

Snow White
Heehee! You said that you would tell me
stories about your adventures!

Finn
Right, that was it!

Finn
Sure, that's no problem. Why don't we chat
a little while we walk back to Alice?

Snow White
I'd like that. And there are so, sooo many
things that I want to tell you about, too.

Snow White
If you don't mind, of course.

Finn
I'd love to hear it all!

Fresalia Kingdom, the royal capital—

In its center stands a grandiose castle,
bathed in light from the setting sun.

It is a castle without a single thorn,
like those found in dreams.

It is home to two princesses, who have
seen each other through thick and thin,

living happily ever after.

It may sound like a dream, but I promise,
dear reader, that the story is all true...
