Script Snippet: [Reanimation Scheme - Lyrissa]

Hey everyone!

One more reward post coming right up! This is the script snippet preview for this month (June), which is an excerpt from Chapter 13 of Lyrissa's route, coming in the next beta build in July.

I thought it's a kind of funny but cute scene without giving away too many spoilers, so I wanted to share this with you all early 👀

Raenelle: We're not getting paid enough for this, I tell you!

It works — Lyrissa chuckles at my dramatic speech, banishing the remaining tension hanging in the air between us.

Lyrissa: You know, you're right! What are we, the 'Chosen Ones'? I don't remember signing up for this impossible job!

Lyrissa: Malady, if we don't get at least a play or two written about us, I will be extremely upset.

Raenelle: Now, now, that might be asking for too much. How could any actresses portray our beauty and grace on stage?

Lyrissa bursts into giggles, smacking me on the arm playfully.

Lyrissa: You're right. No one can dream of matching your level of vanity, even as an act.

I pretend to be offended, but I fail to suppress the corners of my lips from turning upwards.

Raenelle: Well, at the very least, we'd better go down in history and get free drinks at every tavern for the rest of our lives. Otherwise, what even is the point of all this?

Lyrissa: I'll be sure to petition this to the King when we return!

She grins at me, and our mutual amusement warms the comfortable silence that settles between us.

I'm not sure exactly how long we continue sitting here, admiring the beauty around us and letting the weight and uncertainty of the future melt away — at least for the time being.

Eventually, I let out a soft sigh, the words I once never imagined I'd ever say tumbling from my mouth.

Raenelle: We might not have really chosen to be given this responsibility, and I'm hardly the type of heroine anyone would want championing them, but... Let's do our best, I suppose.

I glance over to Lyrissa, finding her expression filled with soft affection. She gives a firm nod.

Lyrissa: Yep. However this turns out, at least we've given it our all — that must be worth something.
