Music: Madeline and Theo
"Am I? I'm skeptical..."
"I had a messed up nightmare."
"Yeah, about that..."
"Wait..."
"Oh, yep, it's all coming back to me now."
"That actually happened."
"Thanks for getting us out of there."
"I'm glad we were in it together."
"I don't know if I could've done that alone."
CH6_THEO_ASK_OUTFOR=
How long was I out for?
CH6_THEO_SAY_OUTFOR=
"How long was I out for?"
"It must've been a few hours..."
"Man, what a ride."
"Tell me about it."
"Are you okay?"
"I mean, aside from the existential crisis?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
CH6_THEO_ASK_EXPLAIN=
What's really going on here?
CH6_THEO_SAY_EXPLAIN=
"Clearly this isn't a normal Mountain."
"What's really going on here?"
"I should've told you sooner."
"Back at the old ruins, a... part of me escaped from a mirror."
"A part I'm not very proud of."
"I swear I dreamt it."
"You think the mountain made her real?"
"Yeah."
"She's been haunting me the whole time."
"She lashed out at Mr. Oshiro."
"I think she was the reason the gondola stalled out."
"And she was there, in the temple."
"..."
"Why didn't you say something?"
"I wouldn't have gone into that temple if I knew what this mountain was capable of..."
"I tried to stop you."
"You could have mentioned that your demon doppelgänger was on the loose."
"Come on, Theo."
"You know how crazy this sounds."
"I didn't even believe myself."
"Okay, okay."
"I understand."
"Next time just talk to me, though."
"I promise I'll believe you."
"Okay."
CH6_THEO_ASK_THANKYOU=
Thank you, for believing in me back there.
CH6_THEO_SAY_THANKYOU=
"Thank you, Theo.
"...for believing in me back there, I mean."
"Believing in you was the easy part."
"I wish I could've helped."
"I was pretty useless, stuck in that thing."
"You actually helped a lot."
"Honestly, I couldn't have made it without your support."
CH6_THEO_ASK_TRUST=
Why is it so easy for you to trust me?
CH6_THEO_SAY_TRUST=
"Why is it so easy for you to trust me?"
"Seriously, you barely know me."
"Honestly?"
"You remind me of my sister."
"That's adorable."
"What's she like?"
"Oh, you'd love her!"
"Actually, you might not get along at first..."
"But you'd eventually love her."
"She's a literal rockstar."
"She's a musician?"
"That's so cool!"
"Okay, she's not literally a literal rockstar."
"Alex is just... amazing at everything."
"She's studying to be a civil rights lawyer."
"Wow!"
"How do I remind you of her?"
"You both live so deep inside your own heads."
"Oh..."
"Alex has this amazing internal compass."
"It's obvious that she'll get where she needs to be."
"I can see that in you too."
"I wish I could say the same for myself."
CH6_THEO_ASK_WHY=
Your sister sounds great. I really remind you of her?
CH6_THEO_SAY_WHY=
"Your sister sounds great. I really remind you of her?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"You're the one who's dead set on climbing this mountain."
"And you don't even know why."
"That's classic Alex."
"..."
"I'm just teasing you."
"Why are you climbing the mountain, anyways?"
"You're right, I don't even know why."
"I just had to get out of my head."
"I'm stuck in a cycle."
"You're preaching to the choir here."
"I've had many a soul-destroying day job."
"Work is fine actually, I just..."
2..."
"I'm going crazy."
"I can't stop thinking about dumb crap that doesn't matter."
"My brain fixates on these stupid things that happened forever ago."
"I should be over them."
"None of it even matters."
{trigger 0 Wait a bit}
"..."
"I'm good at keeping up appearances, but the truth is I'm barely holding it together."
"I'm sorry, that's pretty rough stuff."
"Can I help?"
"You're already helping."
"It feels good to say it out loud."
"You don't talk to anyone about it?"
"No... not really."
"My mom knows I get depressed, and have panic attacks."
"That's about it."
"No wonder you feel trapped."
"How do you cope with... anything?"
"I drink, mostly."
"And get mad at people on the internet."
CH6_THEO_ASK_DEPRESSION=
Would you mind talking about what depression is like?
CH6_THEO_SAY_DEPRESSION=
"Would you mind talking about what depression is like?"
"..."
"It sucks."
"Yeah, but what does it feel like?"
"Alex struggles with it too. I really want to understand."
"We can talk about something else if you want."
"..."
"It's like..."
"I'm at the bottom of the ocean."
"I can't see anything in any direction."
"It's claustrophobic, yet I feel exposed."
"..."
{trigger 0 Wait a bit}
"I remember feeling normal."
"But now it feels just out of reach, no matter what I try."
"Then again, I was probably always messed up."
"It just took something hurtful to bring it out."
"There must be something wrong with me."
"Whatever happened, I'm sure it's not your fault."
{trigger 0 Wait a bit}
"I guess I thought that I could..."
"I don't know."
"I'm just floating in this abyss, swimming in a random direction."
"Hoping that I find something."
"That's really why I'm here."
"..."
"But I can't escape myself."
"I'm literally fighting myself the entire way."
"Maybe this is all pointless."
{trigger 0 Wait a bit}
"Madeline, you just saved my life."
"That's not pointless."
"Yeah..."
{trigger 0 Wait a bit}
"Look, you're a good person."
"You're a little intense, but you're a good person."
"I think you're just trying to push out of that rut you're stuck in."
"And that's a totally legit reason to climb the mountain!"
"Maybe."
"That's... helpful."
{trigger 0 Wait a bit}
"This part of you that's haunting you, maybe she comes with the territory."
"So you think I'm stuck with her forever?"
"Well, she's stuck with you, too."
"That's not helpful."
CH6_THEO_ASK_DEFENSE=
So you want to destroy this part of you?
CH6_THEO_SAY_DEFENSE=
"So you want to destroy this part of you?"
"Won't that hurt you, too?"
"If I don't she's just going to keep bullying me."
"She says she's protecting me, but that's obviously not true."
"Maybe she thinks she is."
"She could be some kind of... twisted defense mechanism."
"Honestly, who cares?"
"She has so much control over me."
"I hate it."
"Maybe you can learn to control her instead."
"The feather helps a lot."
"Thanks for teaching me that."
"Just one of my grandpa's many nuggets of wisdom."
CH6_THEO_ASK_VACATION=
Why not take a vacation instead?
CH6_THEO_SAY_VACATION=
"Why not take a vacation instead?"
"What do you mean?"
"Dude, you needed a change so you chose to climb a mountain..."
"Why not do something relaxing instead?"
"Go to Hawaii, or like, take a bath."
"..."
"I guess I feel like I need to accomplish something."
"It sounds like you have enough on your plate already."
"I guess it is kind of extreme."
"But that's how I am."
"I need something to challenge me."
"And I can't just do something a little bit."
"It's all of me, or nothing."
CH6_THEO_ASK_FAMILY=
What brought you to the mountain?
CH6_THEO_SAY_FAMILY=
"How about you?"
"What brought you to the mountain?"
"I'm just kind of bumming around."
"As usual."
"I started this new job in Seattle."
"I thought I finally knew what I was supposed to be doing with my life..."
"But I hated it."
"So I quit after a week and hopped a bus to Canada."
"I just felt this urge to... get lost in the middle of nowhere."
"..."
"Now that I'm saying it out loud, I realize how flakey it sounds."
"It just sounds like you're under a lot of pressure."
"Not really."
"Everyone is so patient with me."
"Though I guess I am putting a lot of pressure on myself."
"People always think I'm comparing myself to Alex, but I swearthat isn't the problem."
"I'm just worried that I'll never figure out where I'm going."
"You said you wanted to feel lost..."
"Maybe you should just embrace that for now."
"Maybe."
CH6_THEO_ASK_GRANDPA=
Are you close to your grandpa?
CH6_THEO_SAY_GRANDPA=
"Are you close to your grandpa?"
"Yeah... I was."
"Oh... I'm sorry."
"It's okay. That's just how it is."
"..."
"All I can do is stay positive."
"And live a meaningful life, because that's what he would want."
{trigger 0 Wait a bit}
"I'm so sorry, Theo."
"Thanks."
CH6_THEO_ASK_TIPS=
What else did you learn from your grandpa?
CH6_THEO_SAY_TIPS=
"What else did you learn from your grandpa?"
"So much stuff!"
"Actually, he was the one who told me about Celeste Mountain."
"He always said that this place changed his life."
"After I quit my job in Seattle, I realized how close I was to it."
"I felt like he was telling me to come here."
"Grandpa said that the mountain was "special.""
"Do you think he went through the temple like us?"
"Do you think he understood the power of the mountain?"
"He never talked about what happened here."
"I doubt your grandpa was as messed up as me..."
"His experience was probably less... violent."
"He found the mountain before I was born."
"I don't know what he was like before that."
"I wonder what he learned about himself here..."
CH6_THEO_ASK_TEMPLE=
Who do you think built the temple?
CH6_THEO_SAY_TEMPLE=
"Who do you think built the temple?"
"It looks ancient..."
"It must predate everything else on the mountain. The resort, the ruins, the city..."
"There's a lot of history here."
"Yeah."
"This mountain has meant so many things to so many people."
"I'm starting to understand why that crazy old lady lives here."
"You ran into her too?"
"What's her deal?"
"I think she's just a mean person."
"...but she does seem pretty content living out here."
CH6_THEO_ASK_SELFIE=
I want to remember this night...
CH6_THEO_SAY_SELFIE=
"You know what?"
"I want to remember this night..."
"Let's take a selfie!"
"I thought you'd never ask."
"Y'know despite everything, I feel pretty good right now."
"Wait a second..."
"You're going to reach the summit tomorrow!"
"Don't jinx it."
"...yeah, I'm excited."
"I'm ready to put this all behind me."
"I'll be cheering you on."
"We should get some sleep."
"Okay, goodnight, Theo."
"Thanks for... being cool."
"What can I say? It comes naturally."
CH6_DREAMING=
Music: Starjump
"The northern lights are so beautiful."
"..."
"Where are we?"
"We need to talk."
"...okay."
"I finally understand who you are."
"You're not my true reflection."
"...I'm not?"
"You're everything I need to leave behind."
"You're cruel, paranoid, controlling..."
"Why would you say that?"
"No, it's okay!"
"I understand now."
"I don't need you anymore."
"So you're just... abandoning me?"
"I'm setting you free."
"We'll both be so much happier."
"You're so..."
"so..."
"...so stupid!"
"You think you can just leave me behind?"
"You think you can blame everything on me?"
"You think you're above me!?"
ANSWER ME!
Calm down, please...
{trigger 4 start circling the player}
Calm down!?
"Breathe, Madeline."
"Use the feather."
"You're going to think about a feather to stop me?"
"You are not above me."
"And you can't climb this mountain."
CH6_THEO_WATCHOUT=
"Madeline, what's happening!?"
