[After Seeing All An Ends] #My Sister Kay My sister's name is Kay.#And she's incredible. She's an amazing big sister.#She's strong and courageous.#She can overcome anything. And knowing her so deeply...#I can also say she's a bit of a mess.#But we all are. And even though we are,#we'll all live happily ever after. [With Kelly] #My Sister Kelly My sister's name is Kelly. She's kind of a joker. Ever since I was little,#she's always made it her mission to make me laugh.#She's not half-bad at it. And while she likes to joke, she's a very caring person.#She never wants to hurt anyone's feelings...#even when it causes herself to hurt. Sometimes... I can tell she's struggling.#She feels a heavy responsibility#to be a good big sister. But I think she's the best big sister I could ask for...#At least, that's what I believe. This one time, at the library...#I thought I lost her. I can't really say what happened...#Maybe I was so worried, I couldn't think straight. All I know is that she came back.#And once it was all over, I realized, of course she did.#Because she's my big sister Kelly. #And I hope we'll live happily ever after. An End:#Kelly [With Mik] #My Sibling Mik My sibling's name is Mik. Sometimes people think I'm the older sibling.#It always seems silly to me, but...#also, I can see why they might think so. I don't think of myself as a very courageous person.#But if you're comparing me to Mik,#then relatively speaking, I might be. It's true, Mik really depends on me.#Yet the courage they demonstrate when I'm there...#I don't think you can call them a coward. If there's anything I've learned from#the years of teasing they've tearfully endured,#it's my sibling's strength. ...Still, I can't help but worry for them.#I want to help Mik as much as I can, but...#they're still doing some searching of their own. I often see them gazing into a mirror, lost in thought.#When I ask what they're thinking about,#they say they're not even sure. I hope they can figure it out soon.#Because if they ever need help in anything,#I want to support them, as their little sister. #And I hope we'll live happily ever after. An End:#Mik [With Kamille] #My Sister Kamille My sister's name is Kamille. She's a wonderful person,#even if not everyone can see that clearly...#even if she can't see it clearly. She cares for me and for everyone.#She's amazing at so much of what she tries.#She's even good at math. Which is why I'll never understand#why so few seem to think that way. All my life, I've looked up to her.#In fact, lots of people used to like her at school...#Why did it all change? ...I guess maybe I do know why.#But I don't want to believe it. There have been times when...#I almost lost her.#But thank the Goddess, I didn't. ...I hope she'll see the positives of life.#I hope she'll never go through that again.#Because she's my sister, and I love her. #And I hope we'll live happily ever after.

It's me.#Not "Libra"... but Lauren. I'm not really sure who you are,#and maybe you're already gone, but...#I want to thank you. When I returned home with Kay,#she decided it was time to tell our parents the truth.#And it was, finally, the first "best day of her life." But... happy as I was, I was also confused.#Because that contradicted everything I knew. Kay tells me that yes, she ran away from home.#And that it was the result of suffocating pressure. Except... she says it was her lack of courage.#That she couldn't imagine ever telling our parents.#And that, while away, she overcame that fear. Which, suffice to say... isn't how I remember it.#...But I suppose it's for the best. When she first came out to me...#When I found out I had a sister, whose name was Kay... Frankly... it didn't even seem like a big deal.#I told her I "got it," because I did.#And I was glad, from the bottom of my heart. But I soon found why it caused her so many tears.#Because in actuality, so few seemed to understand. So I did everything I could#to make her feel accepted, safe, loved.#...Since no one else would do it. I tried to keep her positive.#Yet even I was worn down into thinking that maybe#there was a point where optimism was no use. And so when she left...#I thought it was all my fault. But with no knowledge of where she'd gone,#that was all I could do for her.#To go to the library, and keep believing. ...And then all of a sudden,#you came along. If you hadn't realized, it was...#a terrifying experience for me. It was like I was trapped in a dream.#I didn't feel like I was in control of myself...#and now, I realize I really wasn't. I could scarcely even follow what was going on...#But thank the Goddess that Kay was there, too. Even if she was very unsure herself...#her words helped me make some sense of it all. ...At any rate, I'm ultimately grateful to you.#Because you and I were on the same page. Yes... we both wanted Kay to be happy.#I kept pushing on with the hope that somehow,#doing all this would lead me to Kay. And so we did the impossible.#With my belief, with your belief,#with even Kay's belief... We rewrote the story of her life...#so that she still had one. Maybe... it's unnatural. Maybe in your world,#something like this could never, ever happen.#I can hardly believe it happened here. And maybe it's unfair that#we were given a chance like this,#when countless others might deserve it more. ...But besides just a thank you,#I want to tell you something else. People write stories for all kinds of reasons.#To share sad or happy feelings with others,#to serve as an escape from reality... But in a sense, they all come from the same place.#They're based in the author's own life experience. And that life in itself is a story.#...One that might often feel out of their control. There's nothing wrong with indulging in stories#that end happily ever after... but we can't just ignore#the tragedies happening all around us. I think we can help people achieve a happy ending.#Their stories are still being written...#And we can be pivotal characters in them. The world is what we make of it.#...It seems that's far more literal in some cases,#but I'm sure it applies in your world, too. I believe we're not alone.#That people all over the world#want nothing less than the best for everyone. And I believe... they can bring about change.#So that we can all live happily ever after. Won't you, too? < An End: Kamille (After Going Down Journey Stairs) > "...What...?" "This is... the library? The real one?#It was that easy...?" "No, it... it can't be that easy...#This can't be right... I'm not..." "I thought... I was so certain I wasn't...#I never thought I would get to live..."

"I'm not that great at it,#so I think you should be the one#to go up against Kendall." "But you can practice with me first!" Shirigories is a simple word game.#Here is how to play. Two players take turns saying words, and each word#must begin with the last letter of the previous word.#All words used must fall under a specific category. Let's say the category is "food," and Player A begins#with "apple." Player B replies with "egg,"#as it starts with the "e" from the end of "apple." Player A goes with "grape." By the way,#words cannot be repeated, so no using "egg" again. Player B can't think of a good followup#(such as "eclair"), so they mumble out "earthworm." Player A knows that's either wrong or B has#questionable taste, and thus challenges B's word.#Player B admits defeat, and Player A wins. Players of Shirigories tend to come up with#house rules about the use of plurals and such... But you'll simply be given words to choose from,#so this shouldn't matter much. ...Best of luck to both of you. < Kelly > "What's up? Wanna practice?" [Yes] "Word!"

It was known as the Tree of Knowledge,#for it knew all things, and gladly#imparted its wisdom to people. With time, however, the tree shed its leaves#and began to wither away. The people worried,#but the tree quelled their fears. "I may die, but my leaves will remain.#Use them to convey your own wisdoms,#and more than that, your own hopes." The people took these words to heart,#and began to record stories such as these#for all manner of purposes.

"But... *sniff*...#But how do we get out of here, Kay...?" "Well, about that. If you think about it...#This place shouldn't even exist." "I was just waiting for you, there in the library.#Which means..." "...no one had to be lost." Kay is right.#Of course she's right. Since I never found any strange book...#Since Kay was waiting there all along... This whole nightmare...#never happened. [Pollyanna (objPollyanna)] 'Cause I still believe in miracles,##I swear I've seen a few And the time will surely come##when you can see my point of view I believe in second chances,##and that's why I believe in you. [knife] "Lauren!#Is that you?!" ... "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry.#I shouldn't have left you behind like that." "What's the matter?#It's me, Kay! Your sister!#...You didn't forget, did you?" "I had to go for a while,#but I told you to meet me at the library...#Right?" "We should get back home to mom and dad...#They must be worried about us." ...As much as Kay wants me to believe...#I can't do it. I know what really happened...#I had hope once, but I'm sure of it now. Who's to blame for me losing faith in my own sister?#...I don't know. Maybe it was the same one#responsible for the loss of Kay herself...#Or maybe it was you. Either way, all that's left now...#is this knife. [Choice (objNoChoice)] Kay Lauren No.#You don't get that choice. ...You could never change this from the start. "...! LAUREN!!" "Lauren, why...?!#Why did you do this?!" "...Y-You're going to be okay!#We'll get help, I swear!" "Believe me!#Please... Believe me!!" Librett@#Chapter [libra] I was a fool#to think Kay had returned. Kay was a fool#for trying to convince me. You were a fool#for leading me down this path. This world of fools#is beyond all help. [Haven't Seen Bad or Happy Ending] Heh.#Hi there. Glad you two could#open your eyes to the truth. That the world is full of people like ME...#Or should I say, people like us? 'Cause here you are.#Didn't think things would go this way?#I don't think that's relevant. You were warned about this.#But you were just that curious...#Curious to see how much they would suffer. Is your curiosity satisfied now?#...Or do you want more? Haha...#I'll leave you to that. [Seen Happy Ending Only] Heh.#Hi there. Glad you two could#open your eyes to the truth. That the world is full of people like ME...#Or should I say, people like us? 'Cause here you are.#Didn't think things would go this way?#I don't think that's quite true. You gave them their happy ending.#But their happiness didn't matter to you.#That much is obvious. Because after that,#you just decided to go back#and see how much they could suffer. Is your curiosity satisfied now?#...Or do you want more? Haha...#I'll leave you to that. [Seen Bad Ending Only] Heh.#Hi there. Glad you two could#open your eyes to the truth. That the world is full of people like ME...#Or should I say, people like us? 'Cause here you are.#Didn't think things would go this way?#I don't think that's relevant. You watched them suffer once.#But rather than try to help, you thought...#what if they could suffer more? Is your curiosity satisfied now?#...Or do you want more? Haha...#I'll leave you to that. [Seen Bad and Happy Ending] Heh.#Hi there. Glad you two could#open your eyes to the truth. That the world is full of people like ME...#Or should I say, people like us? 'Cause here you are.#Didn't think things would go this way?#I don't think that's quite true. You saw them suffer, you saw them happy...#But you thought, maybe there's a third option. Hah, sure, "just curious"...#But surely you knew you weren't getting#a happier ending, right? Is your curiosity satisfied now?#...Or do you want more? Haha...#I'll leave you to that. [Repeated Knife Ending] Heh... heh.#Welcome back. You know, it was hard to tell#through that stubborn idiot...#but you're really somethin', huh. You just keep coming back for more.#Well, sorry, but I think#that's about all we've got here. All those idiots just keep wanting you#to take that chance to "make things right"...#and you keep using it to do exactly the opposite. Awful. I like it. I sense you've got#the same desires as ME, deep down. You see how the world really is, right?#So you have to do something about it.#Even the freak would've agreed with that part. But forget about "acceptance."#Forget about "believing in others."#That's a bunch of phony nonsense. To make a world that makes sense to ME...#That's all I ever wanted. Haha...#Do ME proud. [First Knife Ending] "...Y-You can't." "I may have left things up to YOU...#but I refuse to stand by and watch this." "I thought... I thought at worst,#you might just fail to bring back her sister." "But... to think that person's influence#would cause all this..." "...If I have any desire,#it's to see the Goddess's will upheld.#And this tragedy... should not exist in her world." "So...#I'll be taking this." "To be clear... I don't mean to fault YOU.#I don't know why you did what you did.#So all I'll say is..." "...Please, try that again." [Repeated Knife Ending] "...Why did YOU...#do it again?" "...As usual, I can't truly know your motives.#But... I feel I should talk to YOU, just in case." "Whatever that person may have told YOU...#Please, take it with a grain of salt." "I believe YOU are a good person.#That's why I entrusted this to YOU, after all." "And that other person...#I'm unsure how to describe.#But I want to believe even they could be good." "Everyone has the power to change.#I couldn't even imagine how a world#where that wasn't the case could function." "It's what allows people to better themselves,#and for the world in turn to become a better place." "...I hope this doesn't sound rude, but...#Given your behavior, I feel YOU may think little of us." "As if, by the nature of our relationship,#YOU consider your life to be more important#than all of ours put together. ...But." "If we could convince YOU#to change for the better in any way,#that would make me happier than anything." "Again... I'm sorry if this is needless.#But I just have to be sure.#As ever, I feel responsible to set things right." "And while I could do that myself, well...#My dream is that I won't have to meddle at all." "I want to see that people can do good on their own.#Because I believe goodness can prevail." "Now... would YOU guide this to a happy ending,#for our sake?"
