GAME Game 245/Day 312, Lancelot's guilt game
FORM a leaf with three berries attached, 2/3 uses left
TAKEN offscreen, some time around Day 312
THE MEMORY
Moses: I wonder if Chloe's coming back.
Grune: Senel's with her. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Norma: ...Even if she does come back, we may not be able to go back to the way things were.
Jay: What do you mean?
Norma: Well, C might wind up leaving the Legacy.
Jay: Well, considering her personality, it's true she may decide to distance herself from us.
Will: She has always been tough on herself, and she has a strong sense of responsibility.
Moses: Not to mention, she hurt Senel pretty bad.
Jay: Even though she lowered her sword, she'd probably still be uncomfortable around Arnold and Elsa.
Norma: ...But the biggest thing is probably Senny.
Jay: What do you mean?
Norma: If I were in C's position, I might think I didn't have a place here anymore.
Norma: If she told him how she really feels, I don't think she could still take being around him.
Moses: Man...Are we really gonna have to say goodbye to Chloe?
Moses: Hey, they're back!
Chloe: Good, you're all here. There's something I want to tell you.
Chloe: I've decided to return to the mainland.
Will: Could we ask why?
Chloe: I've settled the matter of avenging my parents. I don't have a reason to be here anymore.
Chloe: I've caused great trouble for everyone, and I think it would be better if I didn't stay with you any longer.
Chloe: And also...
Norma: I guess you settled that matter, too, huh...
Chloe: Yes.
Will: It seems your mind is made up. I guess we can't stop you.
Chloe: Thank you all for everything you've done for me.
Chloe: Shirley?...
This is when Shirley comes up and slaps her.
Shirley: You have something else to say.
Shirley: Take a good look at everyone's faces.
Shirley: They were worried sick about you and waited here the whole time.
Shirley: Are you going to just abandon all of those feelings and run away?
Chloe: I...
Shirley: Is that something you can just leave behind?
Shirley: Is that something you can just give up?
Chloe: ...Of course not.
Shirley: Isn't that important to you?
Chloe: ...Of course it is.
Shirley: Isn't this where you belong?
Norma: She's right.
Chloe: Norma...
Norma: I'm with Shirley on this. You don't need to abandon everything.
Moses: Come on. Don't let the friendships you've made go to waste.
Will: What do you really want, Chloe?
Grune: I don't want to say goodbye, Chloe.
Jay: Staying here would be one way of taking responsibility.
Norma: Well, you heard them. So what are you gonna do, C?
Chloe: Is it...really all right for me to be here?
Norma: Hello? That's not an answer!
Chloe: Right...Well...I want to stay here.
Norma: Now that's what we wanted to hear!
Chloe: I want to be with my friends...
Norma: Whoa, C's crying!
Chloe: Wh...what are you so surprised about? I cry sometimes too, you know.
Norma: Oh, you do?
Chloe: Stop staring. It's rude.
Norma: Oh, who cares? The more you cry, the better you'll feel!
Senel: Thanks, Shirley. I wouldn't have been able to stop her from leaving.
Shirley: I like us the way we are--together. As soon as I thought about that, the rest just came naturally.
Senel: ...Yeah, she's our friend, after all.
Shirley: Yeah.
Moses: All right! Now that that's settled, let's grab some breakfast!
Norma: You don't get to wrap things up, Red.
Moses: Why not?
Jay: It just doesn't suit you.
Chloe: This is where I belong.
Chloe: I think I can answer with a smile now.
Chloe: I'm happy.
WHAT HE LEARNED
+ Chloe had feelings for Senel??
+ gosh Chloe is pretty melodramatic huh
+ SHIRLEY IS A STONE COLD BADASS but he knew that already
+ "Don't let the friendships you've made go to waste."
EFFECTS
Wow, topicality!
It's a good memory, one he'll be thinking a lot about--not just in terms of how close they all were, but in terms of responsibility and being a good friend and what that means.
