Laby:Calonne is... Captured...? But Mao and Laby saved...
Mao:Those soldiers... I bet they were looking for you.
Mao:Ha... I regret it now. Why did I help a stranger like you...

Mao:I... I wish we never met in the first place...!
Laby:No... No... It's no like that!
Nisha:(...-)
Mao:... Running away again?
Mao:It's not a bad idea. Playing dumb, hiding away, like a never-ending hide-and-seek.

Laby:... Why...
Laby:Why... teacher... Why are you saying...
Bellonde:If you don't like it, you should go back.
Bellonde:Go back to the place you were alone for so long, that you've broken into two, after one good bye.

Quest Completion Dialogue
Laby:Laby remembers now.
Laby:A painful memory that Laby forgot... no, avoided.
Laby:It was so long... like a curse. Everyday was exactly the same in the forest where Laby was stuck. Nothing was new, just existing day by day.
Laby:Then one day, a small friend came along. She was the first one to stay. Laby's first friend...
Laby:Laby was so happy. Even if Laby added up all the happiness in Laby's life, it was not as big as the happiness Laby felt right then.
Laby:... Laby wanted to be together with her forever. But...
Laby:But... Laby's friend kept getting weak. One day, she stopped moving, and became cold... and slowly began to disappear.
Laby:Back then, Laby could not accept that she was gone. It was the first time Laby has been so happy to be with someone... But it was also the first time Laby said good bye.
Laby:Laby felt empty... Laby cried for a very long time. Finally, when the tears dried up...
Laby:There was a black spring where Laby's friend was...
Laby:And that spring became you.
Laby:... We were together for a very long time, but it's the first time Laby actually understood who you are.
