()||<黑屏2>592BGM_Saga_AVG_DayAVG_AMB_Street:Brown-colored canvas awnings litter this clearing in the middle of the forest like scattered coffee beans, and wispy plumes of smoke rise from them under the sun's baking. +You wouldn't have known that they held regular flea markets here if Lily hadn't dragged you along to take a look with her.
()Commander||:Pretty lively, isn't it...
NPC-Lily(0)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||Stop_AVG_loop:Mhm! I'm surprised that a lot of these stalls are still around even after all these years.
NPC-Lily(9)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:That stall sells delicious dried shredded squid. Want to get some for Tae and Romero?
NPC-Lily(2)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Wow, the plushies here are so cute!
()||ClothingUp:Every now and then, Lily's little head will pop out on the left side of the crowd and then the right.
()Commander||:Lily, wait for me...
NPC-Lily(9)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Huh? What's that written there... Franchouchou?
()||:You look where Lily is pointing. It's a stall selling grilled squid and it has a banner with a white background.
()Commander||:Fran... Ah, the rest of it is blocked.
()||ClothingUp:You stand on your tiptoes and crane your neck to get a look, and it IS a Franchouchou banner! Looks like Franchouchou has quite a few fans.
()Commander||BGM_Empty:Lily, it's a Franchouchou—
()||<震屏3>:You look down. All you see are unfamiliar faces, and your breath catches in your throat.
()Commander||10394:Lily? Lily, where are you?! Can you hear me?
()||:Nobody answers your shouts except for a few curious glances that sweep across you.
()Commander||:Lily's a smart girl; she wouldn't have run off too far...
()||ClothingUp:You ask the nearby stall owners one by one whether they've seen Lily.
NPC-Ninja(6)Flower Stall Owner0,-4201.6||:Hmm, she seems familiar... +She was walking with a gigantic guy. He had a scar over his left eye and looked really scary, so I remembered him.
NPC-Ninja(6)Commander0,-4201.6<同时置暗>||:Say what?! What kind of relationship did they have?
NPC-Ninja(6)Flower Stall Owner0,-4201.6||:Well, I couldn't say. In any case, they bought something to eat and went that way.
NPC-Ninja(6)Commander0,-4201.6<同时置暗>||:Alright, thank you! +Come on, Lily, please be alright...

()||<黑点2>593RunStep:...
()||BGM_Saga_AVG_Dusk:When you see that familiar figure in the shade of the trees, you finally breathe a sigh of relief.
()Commander||:Lily! Whew... That scared the crap out of me.
()Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:...
()||:Lily doesn't answer you.
()Commander||:Are you mad at me? I'm sorry, it was my fault for losing you...
()||:You crouch down so you're eye-to-eye with Lily, but just as you're about to make a face to tease her, you see that her eyes are brimming with tears.
()Commander||:Wait, why are you crying, Lily? Did someone bully you?
NPC-Lily(4)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:...
()||AVG_21Winter_Ink_Drop:Her tears fall on the back of your hand and you panic for a moment.
()Commander||Stop_AVG_loop:Was it that guy with the scar over his left eye? I'll take care of him for you!
NPC-Lily(4)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Shhh, be quiet...
()||:Lily's worried expression makes you realize that the scarred man might still be around.Shout out loud.Search in silence.
()Commander||<分支>1分支>:Hey, Scarface—
()||ClothingUp<分支>1分支>:You shout at the top of your lungs, causing everyone to stare at you. Lily frantically tugs on your shirt.
NPC-Lily(4)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||<分支>1分支>:Commander, don't...
NPC-Lily(4)Commander70,-1701.21<同时置暗>||<分支>1分支>:Relax, there are tons of people here; he wouldn't really do anything to me.+And even if he did, I wouldn't let him hurt you.
()||<分支>2分支>:You look around, and your eyes fix on a man who's built like a miniature mountain.+There's hardly even a need to search for him... His size makes him stand out so much in a crowd that it would be hard to miss him.
()Commander||<分支>2分支>:Lily, go somewhere safe and wait for me.
()||<分支>2分支>AVG_footsteps_cave:Before you can take more than a couple of steps toward him, Lily senses your intentions and grabs your shirt from behind.
NPC-Lily(4)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||Stop_AVG_loop:You've made a mistake...+He's just here to pay his respects.
()||:Lily stands aside and reveals a child-shaped statue in the grass behind her.+Someone has offered a piece of bread to it, spread thickly with mayonnaise and ketchup.+Apparently that man did it.
()Commander||:You know him, Lily?
NPC-Lily(1)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Mm, we used to come to the market together. He would buy me cute dolls, and we'd share the same kind of bread...
NPC-Lily(1)Commander70,-1701.21<同时置暗>||:Ehhh?!
NPC-Lily(1)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:That man... is Lily's Pappy.
NPC-Lily(1)Commander70,-1701.21<同时置暗>||:These two look nothing alike!
NPC-Lily(1)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Lily looks more like Mommy, but my Pappy raised me...+He might look mean, but he's actually a really nice person.
()||ClothingUp:You scratch your head in embarrassment.
()Commander||:I'm sorry, I lost my cool the moment I saw you cry...+I should have asked why you were feeling sad.
NPC-Lily(9)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Sad? Lily wasn't feeling sad...
NPC-Lily(2)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Why would Lily feel sad? Just being able to see Pappy again, being able to walk through the market with him again, that's enough for Lily.
()||:She's still smiling, but she averts her eyes from you.
()Commander||:Then... did he recognize you, Lily?
NPC-Lily(1)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Actually, Pappy was lost in his thoughts, and Lily just followed him secretly...+But that's fine. If Lily ended up alone with Pappy, Lily would probably reveal herself by accident, and that would be troublesome.
NPC-Lily(1)Commander70,-1701.21<同时置暗>||:...+So you didn't say anything to your dad?
NPC-Lily(0)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Mm. But it's okay. Lily has already told all the things Lily wants to tell Pappy on stage...
NPC-Lily(2)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:It's strange, the stage is so far away from the audience, but Lily feels that she is closer to Pappy than ever before.
NPC-Lily(0)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:That's why Lily will continue getting along with Pappy as Franchouchou Member No. 6.
()||ClothingUp:Lily wipes away the last of her tears.
NPC-Lily(1)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||:Still, I won't be able to hold Pappy's hand and do a lot of things with him this way...
NPC-Lily(1)Commander70,-1701.21<同时置暗>||:Lily...
()||:You do your best to keep your voice even.
()Commander||:Shall we go explore the market? It doesn't matter if it's something fun or something tasty. If you like it, we can go try it, Lily!
()||ClothingUp:Her little hand grabs onto your sleeve, and a smile blooms on Lily's face.
NPC-Lily(2)Lily Hoshikawa70,-1701.21||<黑点1>:Sounds great...
