During the night:

[Black screen. There are more noises in the night.]

Nanami:
"Riou...!"

[Fade to scene of the girls standing outside of the boys' door. Riou walks out of the room.]

Nanami:
"Did you hear that?! Did you hear that creak?!"

Pilika:
"Oooooohhh...."

Nanami:
"Hey, hey. Riou... Go and look... Make sure it's not a ghost!"

[Riou leaves. Nanami and Pilika chase after him.]

Nanami:
"You're awful, Riou! Don't leeeeave me heeere..."

Pilika:
"Ooh!"

Nanami:
"I don't want to be left behind. Let's go together."

Pilika:
"!!!"

[A shadowy figure runs upstairs.]

Nanami:
"What? What? What? Huh??? That's no ghost... Maybe it's a cat or something?"

Yeah, Nanami, a really big, turban-wearing cat...

Shiro:
"Waoooooh!"

[Go upstairs. The figure runs behind you back towards the stairs.]

Nanami:
"No, no, no, no, I can't see anything! Nothing's there!"

[Go to the ground floor and see the figure duck down the basement stairs.]

Nanami:
"No, no, no, no, I can't see anything! Nothing's there!"

[Go to the basement.]

Nanami:
"AIEEE!! No, no, no!!! Now it's gone!! What's happening?! L, l, l, let's go b, b, back!!! Riou! Let's go!! Come on, quick, quick!!!"

Damn, her "no, no, no"s are annoying.

[Go to the unlit lamp and trigger the switch. A secret door opens.]

Nanami:
"Wha? Wha? Wha? Wha? What? What? What's this???"

Shiro:
"Waoooh!"

[Follow the passageway.]

Once at the Academy:

Nanami:
"Ah! There it goes!! All right! It's not a ghost, then. Hah!! How DARE you scare a lady?! I will not forgive!!"

Shiro:
". . . . ."

[They approach the shadowy figure.]

Nanami:
"Okay. When you hear the signal, rush in and tackle it."

Shiro:
"Waoooooh..."

Nanami:
"Me? I'm hunky-dory. Ready... GO!!!"

[They rush the shadowy figure and surround it. It's amazing how shadowy he is considering he's standing directly under a lit lamp.]

Figure:
"Uwah!!!"

Shiro:
"Waooooh!!"

Eilie:
"You can't escape!!"

If Tuta is in Eilie's spot for this:

Tuta:
"There's nowhere left to hide!"

Nanami:
"Ooooh, you, you... Who is it, anyway?!"

[An exclamation point appears over Pilika's head.]

Figure:
"What the hell are you up to!? Are you insane?!"

[It's Flik.]

Luc:
"Ah..."

Nanami:
"Eh? Eh? Eh? What??? Oh, I get it! Flik's been wandering around night after night like a ghost... But why would you do that?"

Flik:
"Who's been acting like a ghost?! I was tailing that guy Shin. There's something suspicious about him... He's a tricky one, though... The Highland Army's after him, too, so it's to be expected. I figured he's got to be doing whatever he does at night, so I've been watching and waiting... And I just spotted him! I tailed him all the way here until you showed up..."

Nanami:
"...And then we caught you."

Flik:
"Hmph..."

Shiro:
"Waooh!"

Flik:
"Yeah, no doubt."

[Flik joins the party and they run around the corner. Nothing is there but a bust on a pedestal.]

Eilie:
"Looks like a dead end."

If Tuta is in Eilie's spot for this:

Tuta:
"Looks like a dead end, sir."

Nanami:
"Eh? Eh...? It can't be... Is it really... a g, g, ghost...?"

How stupid is Nanami? They've already discovered one secret passageway at the Academy. What are the chances that there might be another?

Flik:
"Of course not. There's got to be some sort of mechanism somewhere. Let's search for it, Riou."

[They spread out to look for it. If you stop and talk to each of them:]

Shiro:
"Sniff..."

Flik:
"Somewhere... There's gotta be..."

Nanami:
"S, so... It's not really a ghost... Ah! Ah! Of course, I never really believed it!"

Luc:
"This is just so sad."

That line is so perfectly Luc...

Eilie:
"Riou, did we search everywhere?"

If Tuta is in Eilie's spot for this:

Tuta:
"I'm usually really good at finding things, but..."

[Riou walks up to the bust and hits the hidden switch. The wall opens. They all jump.]

Pilika:
"!!!"

Nanami:
"Riou, you're so cool!!! Naturally, you're my little brother."

Flik:
"Come on, let's go."

[They run off into the woods behind the Academy.]

After walking a ways:

Flik:
"What's that? It looks suspicious..."

[They see a small cabin/shack.]

Nanami:
"It's gotta be the ghost's haunted shack!"

Shiro:
"Waooh?"

Flik:
"Anyway, let's check it out."

[Shin approaches them.]

Shin:
"I knew we'd be discovered eventually... However, my lady requires a bit more time here."

Flik:
"Hey, wait, we're..."

Shin:
"Shut your mouth!"

Riou:
[ ] "We are your allies!"
[ ] "We cannot forgive you, ghost!"

"We are your allies!"	"We cannot forgive you, ghost!"
	Nanami: "Yeah!" Pilika: ". . . . ." Riou: [ ] "We are your allies!" [x] "We cannot forgive you, ghost!" Shiro: "Waooh?" Riou: [ ] "We are your allies!" [x] "We cannot forgive you, ghost!" [Flik turns to Riou.] Flik: "That's enough jokes, don't you think?" Riou: [x] "We are your allies!"

Shin:
"I do not know who you are, so I cannot consider you an ally. I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave here alive."

Flik:
"You refuse to listen to us?! Are you after a fight? You'll find us very different from those Highland soldiers..."

Shin:
"With my blade, Tarantula, in my hand, I have nothing to fear... from anyone."

Flik:
"If we're talking about reasons not to lose, we have 'em too, buddy!"

[Flik and Shin face off.]

Nanami:
"N... no..."

Pilika:
"...Sniff... Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!"

[Shin steps back.]

Shin:
"Children... why..."

[Teresa approaches them.]

Teresa:
"Shin... please, stop."

Shin:
"My lady... but these people..."

Teresa:
"There... there has been enough fighting... I beg you, Shin... please stop."

Flik:
"Wait a minute. We haven't come to capture you. I'm Flik of the Orange Army. This is our leader, Riou."

[Riou steps forward.]

Teresa:
"The Orange Army..."

[Scene fades to inside the cabin.]

Teresa:
"Then I shall take your word that you are truly from the Orange Army."

Shin:
"My lady..."

Teresa:
"Even if they are from the Highland Army, we needn't do such roundabout things, Shin. Lord Riou, why have you taken so much trouble especially to see me?"

Riou:
[ ] "We've come to save you."
[ ] "Uh..."

"We've come to save you."	"Uh..."
	Nanami: "Hey, Riou. What's wrong?" Riou: [ ] "We've come to save you." [x] "Well..." Flik: "What is it? Do you get tongue-tied talking to beautiful women?" Riou: [ ] "We've come to save you." [x] "Actually..." [Pilika walks over to Riou and taps him.] Pilika: ". . . . ." Nanami: "Look, look, even Pilika's saying, 'go for it!'" Riou: [x] "We've come to save you."

Teresa:
"You came to... save me? Why?"

Flik:
"Why? Our army's military strength is still fairly slight. Even with the aid of Two River, we aren't in a position to wage war against Highland's main army. So, lady Teresa, we need your strength."

Teresa:
"My strength? No, what you seek is Greenhill's strength..."
"Forgive me, Lord Riou. I'm afraid I cannot help you."

Riou:
[x] "Why is that?"
[x] ". . . . ."

Both choices get the same answer.

Teresa:
"I abandoned my citizens, and escaped here alone... I am no longer acting mayor of Greenhill. And I... don't want... anything like that battle to ever..."

[Scene fades to flashbacks of what Teresa is talking about. I'm not going to describe the scenes.]

Teresa:
"It became obvious that Highland was after Greenhill, and so the citizens were preparing to fight."
"Highland released the captured Muse soldiers, and they came to Greenhill. At first, everyone rejoiced, without knowing the true meaning of the soldiers' arrival..."
"Highland returned the weapons and armor they had confiscated from the Muse soldiers. There were skeptics, but most of the citizens assumed there must have been some Highland commander or other that wanted a fair fight. More than anything, the increase in military power due to the Muse soldiers was invaluable to the morale of the dejected citizens."
"Before long, the Highland Army appeared, and the citizens prepared for battle. However..."
"The Highland Army began their siege, but made no move to attack."
"The addition of the Muse soldiers had nearly doubled Greenhill's army, and the food supply was now decreasing with alarming speed."
"Soon enough, the soldiers and the citizens were at odds over the dwindling provisions. The Greenhill citizens thought, 'This is food for Greenhill,' but the Muse soldiers considered it food for fighting."
"And so..."
"The Muse soldiers rebelled, taking the food storehouses by force, throwing the city into chaos. It seems obvious now that Highland must have given the Muse soldiers back their weapons for just this purpose."
"And then... we... Right in front of the Highland Army, we... were defeated without even having fought."

[Scene fades back to the cabin interior.]

Teresa:
"That... is what happened... Comrades-in-arms... Killing each other over mere food... All that remained in us was distrust for each other... And... I, as acting mayor of Greenhill, could not prevent this..."
"Forgive me... Lord Riou... I can't help you... Please, please... Return home..."

[Scene fades to Shin facing the group in the clearing outside of the cabin.]

Shin:
"Excuse me, but you should leave Greenhill as soon as possible. And... I'm not saying I distrust you, but if the Highland Army discovers Lady Teresa's whereabouts, I will hunt you down."

Flik:
"Don't threaten us. You're called Shin, right? What do you plan to do? You can't hide here forever."

Shin:
"We need a bit more time here. Lady Teresa wishes it..."

[Shin leaves.]

Nanami:
"Gosh, we came all this way and found Teresa for nothing, I guess."

Flik:
"Yeah. Looks like this was all pointless. Riou, we'll leave Greenhill tomorrow."

Shiro:
"Sniff..."

Luc:
"The Highland Army's sure to find us out sooner or later..."
