- ???: Brother, I'm back.
- Sunday: ...Welcome back. How's your preparation for the performance coming?
- ???: It's fine. Don't worry.
- Sunday: "It's fine"? Hmm, this is not good... You're the pride of The Family. Don't let those unnecessary emotions affect your perfect pitch.
- ???: I... know. Brother, you seem to be in low spirit... What's happened? Is it because of the Watchmaker's guest list?
- Sunday: Yes, I received the report that... "Death" had taken some of them. Perhaps someone was behind it. Ah, I'm sorry. I forgot you just came back. You probably wouldn't know about it. Somehow, a nightmare called "Death" has descended upon Penacony, striking indiscriminately, bringing spiritual death to all equally... In the utopian dreamscape envisioned by The Family, such sorrowful incidents shouldn't arise. It profoundly undermines the equilibrium and serenity of the dreamscape... How detestable.
- ???: I can't believe this has happened. Was... someone killed again?
- Sunday: Yes. There were two. One was a stowaway, the other ...... was you. That's enough Fool. Your deeds have saddened me.
- Sparkle: Pretty sharp, aren't you, Chicken Wing Boy?
- Sunday: The Odes of Harmony talks about honesty — "The words of a fool begins with foolishness and end in treacherous arrogance"...
- Sunday: ...Please leave. THEIR dreamscape doesn't welcome you.
- Sparkle: Oh come on, lighten up! Why so serious with all the quotations and references? I'm just curious — Now things have come to this, is The Family still unwilling to fight? I mean, your darling sister's already a goner, right? Really? Don't tell me you're not craving a little vengeance. (おいおい、もう少し明るく行こうよ！なんでそんなに引用とか参照に真面目なのさ？ただの好奇心だよ — 事がここまで来て、まだ「家族」は戦う気がないのかい？だって、あなたの可愛い妹さんももうこの世にいないんだろ？本当に？復讐したいって思ってないって言うの？)
- Sunday: It's not yet time. When the fated day arrives, I shall mete out justice with unyielding righteousness.
-
（まだその時ではない。運命の日が来たら、揺るぎない正義感をもって正義を実行するだろう）
- Sparkle: Wow, you can endure that much? Truly, a heart of ice you've got there. Hey, maybe we could actually get along? How about this? I'll stand in for your dear sister at events— surely you don't want the world to hear the Charmony Festival's been called off?
- Sunday: The Family has a plan, and do not dishonor my dear sister with your deceitful tongue again, Fool.
- Sparkle: Alright, alright~ Just putting it out there... If you're ever in a pinch, remember I've got your back. I mean, who could resist a guy rocking spikes on his wings?
- Sunday: There's no need. The malefactor has been exposed under Their radiant gaze and will soon fall by their own machinations. Should the transgressor fail to turn away from this path, THEIR sword will be honed, THEIR bow strung, causing the malevolence the perpetrator spreads to befall them. When that time comes, the heathen will realize they are but a mere mortal, doomed to descend into the netherworld.
- Sunday: ...And I will join their vanguard to announce this good news to you personally, "Watchmaker."
