The darkness is full of daemons. Once the sun sets, they'll be here too.
The light keeps them off the walls, but a number of them are out. We'll be in trouble if we don't get them working in time.
A couple people are working on getting them up and running, but there are a lot of lights, and not much time.
They did not leave you, only they needed to go elsewhere for safety. I am certain.
Come, let us see about this light.

We'll fix it and worry 'bout the blame later.

That way?

[Um excuse me, you are not his girlfriend. Is she someone he hasn't rememberd?]
You know me?
You know me?
Um, basically [points at big yellow cord] a buncha stuff got unplugged so we gotta connect everything back up again and turn more lights on.
If ya head that way [points south] and take the second door from the right [points out Verecundiam on the map] we can help Cobalt-san out.

Why d-didn't they t-take me with them? Why did they leave me?
D-don't they k-know how mu-huch I m-miss them?
[His voice stutters and catches, and he's weeping genuinely now]
[Walking beside her. The cable is very easy to follow, since it's so very yellow and easy to see. It snakes around the debris and ends in a pile of rubble. There's a black cord laying nearby, unplugged. It appears there was a wall here once, and when it fell, it fell on the cable and yanked the two ends apart. While the black one is just laying there, the yellow one is under a pile of debris. The concrete chunks are too big for a tiny child to move, but you'd be able to move it easily with a little elbow grease. You're very strong, after all.]
... right. Okay, yeah, I'll get going.

... right, okay. I'll go that way.

[ok, no, picking up the baby and rubbing his back]
They would be here if they could. I am certain you know that much. However, it cannot be helped that they cannot in this moment. Would you wish them harm or danger only so that you could have them with you?

[The house just exists here, peacefully doing nothing.]
[A breeze rustles the flowers and it's kinda nice.]

[Appearifies his staff. Knocks on the door without touching it.]
[Maybe he is]
[Maybe he finally can, now]
[Thorn bows his head, just briefly, before turning for the door]
[There's no time for sentiment, after all. When the sun goes down, the daemons won't wait for anyone; he'd better get these lights back on and then head for Verecundiam]

[The yellow cable snakes in through the door and lays there on the floor with nothing plugged into it. The black cord is also laying here on the floor, plugged into nothing.]
[That tree must have grown through the middle of them, forcing the two apart. But with the tree gone, there's nothing stopping you from plugging them back together again.]

Of course! ♥
[She gets to her feet and trips lightly across the pillows toward you]
You're the light of my life. The apple of my eye! The one I love most in all the world.
[She attempts to throw her hands over your shoulders, casual and breezy]
I'm happy to see you!
😘 | ピンク: Just get the one in the middle then
[Wailing into her shoulder, clinging tight]
I j-just want — my mom! My dad!
I don't want to be aloooone!
