Transcript

Expand for script.

• After returning from the ruins, I travel all over the land trying to find a way to fix the Lamp.
• Kahir issues a royal announcement to recruit sages to help. He even assembled the royal alchemists multiple times to look into recasting the Lamp.

• All of our attempts are in vain.

• A few months go by. The dunes are as hot as ever, and the streets are bustling with activity.
• People's lives carry on as normal, and no one has any idea of what happened in the desert.
• Samar: Gina, why are you still in your room? I've been waiting for you!
• Samar: Didn't we agree to go to the market?
• You: Oh, I forgot... Right, Sinbad is holding a banquet today and we have to go purchase groceries!
• Samar: You've been so forgetful and lethargic lately. Everyone is worried...
• I pat Samar on her head and avoid her concerned gaze.
• You: I'm fine. Give me a moment to change my clothes and we can go.

• We spend an entire morning at the market purchasing everything listed by the housekeeper.
• I have no appetite when we return to the mansion, so I got to my room alone.
• As I lie in bed around sunset and listen to the muffled sounds of the festive drums outside, I feel...

Lost (Requires Sinbad Goodwill LV.6)

• Sinbad: Gina, I heard that you're shutting yourself in your room again?
• Sinbad: Open the door! I haven't seen you for days!
• I guess Sinbad himself has come to drag me out to the banquet.
• Sinbad: Child, I know you're upset that your friend left without saying goodbye.
• Sinbad: But you've been depressed for months. It's going to affect your health!
• I never told Sinbad about what happened in the desert. I only told him that someone very dear to me is gone and I don't know when I'll see them again.
• I feel a pang of guilt when I remember that I once promised not to hide things from Sinbad or put myself into danger.
• Sinbad: I've invited many voyagers today. You love hearing about their adventures, right?
• You: I...
• Sinbad: I'm sure the music and the stories will perk you up.
• Sinbad: Come on out to the banquet hall! I'll be waiting!
• I know I can't convince Sinbad otherwise, so I pull myself together and head for the hall.
• Many fabulously dressed people are gathered in the banquet hall. They're toasting one another, laughing, chatting, and everyone looks happy.
• A new guy with two large dishes hurries past me. I dodge to the side in a hurry, and crash right into one of the guests.
• You: Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to...
• The stranger waves it off with a smile.
• Sinbad: Alibaba! Is it really you? It is!
• Sinbad appears at my side, looking at the guest in surprise.
• Alibaba: Sinbad! Haha! It's been a long time!
• Alibaba: You forgot to invite me, so I had to sneak in among the others. How could you, Sinbad!
• Sinbad: Oh my! How are you still alive?
• Sinbad: When we were caught in the thunderstorm and you went overboard, I thought you must have...
• Sinbad: Tell me, what on earth happened?!
• Alibaba: Have you forgotten? I'm a magician!
• Alibaba: Maybe not a very good one, but I can cast a few spells to keep myself alive!
• A jolt runs through me.
• You: Mister Alibaba... Did you just say... that you know magic?
• Sinbad: I heard that you are descended from magic users, but I have never seen you use any...
• Alibaba: Heh. Magic isn't a good way to earn your keep these days...
• You: If you really are a magician, can I ask a favor from you?
• Sinbad and Alibaba look at me strangely.
• I ask them to follow me into a separate room, where I explained everything to them.
• Sinbad: That young man at the Crown Prince's Ceremony was a Genie all along?
• You: I'm sorry for hiding everything from you, Sinbad.
• Sinbad: I don't blame you. You had an agreement with him.
• Sinbad: I have no idea that the current royals have such bad blood with the previous one...
• Alibaba, who's been staring at the Magic Lamp, utters a low sound of surprise.
• Alibaba: I think I just detected the remnant of a space-time portal within this lamp...
• Alibaba: Did you say that the Lamp took you 70 years into the past and that you got caught in a time loop?
• You: Yes! And in that loop, when I set the gemstone in the Lamp, I would return to that day 70 years ago...
• You: And when I rescued Light, I got caught in a magic circle, and was taken back a few months in time, to before I got the Lamp.
• You: Then I would find the Lamp again, and meet Light again, I experience the same rainy night when we were attacked...
• Alibaba leans close to me, staring at me thoughtfully. I'm suddenly kind of nervous.
• Alibaba: Girl, there's a trace of space-time magic in you too, and the power seems rather ancient.
• Alibaba: You might have been lost in that time loop for a lot longer than you realize.
• You: (Maybe he's right... That would explain why the gemstone was with me right from the start.)
• You: (I really have no idea how long I was trapped in that loop...)
• Alibaba: Magicians tend to make too much fuss over time loops. In fact, the loop can be broken by some external forces.
• You: You mean... like that mysterious cat?
• Alibaba: Yes, and time and space are actually quite turbulent on their own.
• Alibaba: Sometimes people who stuck inside a loop might find exits on their own.
• Alibaba: Well, space-time magic is pretty obscure, and my knowledge is far from adequate.
• Sinbad: Alibaba, stop rambling about all that occult stuff. Tell me, can you repair this lamp or not?
• Alibaba: Well, there is a way.
• You: Really?
• Alibaba: But I do have one condition.
• Sinbad: What is it?
• Alibaba: All magic comes with a price. The greater the power, the greater the price.
• Alibaba: To awaken the Genie, one must take his place in slumber.
• Alibaba: Do you think you can do that, girl?
• Sinbad: What? No way!
• Sinbad: Gina! You can't do that!
• You: I...

I will

• You: I will!
• Sinbad: A life for a life? How is that a solution? No! I will not agree to this!
• Sinbad: Gina! Light sacrificed himself so that you can live on. Do you think this is what he would want?
• You: Sinbad, I've made my decision.
• You: 70 years ago, Light sacrificed himself for the sake of countless people.
• You: I can't let him relive this fate!
• Alibaba: I admire your passion and courage, girl. I'll help you...
• I stand in front of Alibaba with the Magic Lamp in my hands. He takes out a glass bottle from his pocket.
• Then he pulls out the cork and starts chanting a mysterious spell.
• A stream of black smoke emerges from the Magic Lamp and is sucked into the bottle.
• Once the bottle is filled, the Lamp recovers its luster, and the gemstone is radiant again.
• Alibaba: Alright, now try summoning him.
• I look at the Lamp, suddenly afraid that this won't work.
• I've never felt this nervous before.
• Light: Gina...?!
• Light looks at me, bewildered and lost.
• You: Light!
• Unable to restrain myself, I hug him tight.
• All the tears I've been suppressing start flowing down my cheeks.
• Light: Oh, don't cry, silly.
• You: You're back! You're really here! It's not a dream!
• Light: Did you wake me up? How?
• You: I...
• My heart drops. I remember the price I am supposed to pay.
• I turn back to look for Alibaba, only to see him walking out the door.
• I run after him.
• You: Wait! I still need to hold up my end of the bargain!
• Alibaba laughs heartily.
• Alibaba: That was never necessary. I was just testing you.
• Alibaba: I said I admire your passion and courage.
• Alibaba: You need to know that the most powerful thing in this world has never been, and never will be magic.
• He waves at me, and strides off.
• Sinbad pats Light on the shoulder and looks at me meaningfully before leaving the room as well.
• I'm totally mystified, but describe to Light what Alibaba just did.
• When I finish, Light looks enlightened.
• You: So... how did Alibaba do it?
• Light: I cleared Ghiyath's memory, but his memory never truly vanished. It was just sealed within the Magic Lamp.
• Light: It was these murky memories that bound me and kept me trapped in the Lamp.
• Light: In theory, if these memories are removed from the Magic Lamp, I'd be set free.
• You: Wait, so the black smoke that Alibaba just removed was Ghiyath's memories?
• Light: Hmm, someone is growing smarter.
• You: You just got another chance at life. Can't you just give me a proper compliment for once?
• You: I saved your life, for crying out loud!
• Light freezes for a moment. Then his eyes soften and his lip curve up in a faint smile.
• Light: You're right. You did save me. You're the one who keeps waking me up.
• Light: Ah, and I still owe you a wish.
• You: Oh, right! I almost forgot!
• Light: Money, status, power, wisdom, or beauty? What is your desire, Gina?
• Light: Make your wish.
• I look at Light earnestly and tell him my wish...
• You: I wish that...

Light can become human and gain freedom

• You: I wish that you can become human again, and be free.
• Light looks at me in disbelief.
• Light: Is that really what you want? Are you sure you want to spend this precious wish on me?
• You: You're precious to me. Of course I'd use a precious wish on you!
• You: When we were caught in the mirage, didn't you say you wished to be free?
• You: Let's make that wish come true! We can leave the desert, and see the world!
• Light: As you wish.
• With a snap of Light's fingers, blinding light floods the room.
• Light: There is nothing quite like the sound of the waves!
• We've been on Sinbad's cargo ship for several days now. But the sea still excites Light. It's as if he's a child.
• Light: It's so wonderful to be free! I want to travel around the world!
• You: I'm afraid that's not possible for now. We have to help Sinbad get a shipment from Northland on this ship.
• Light: Is this about the cargo, or are you just too eager to see Sinbad's nephew?
• Light: Didn't he say that his nephew's rich and handsome guy, and that he's trying to matchmake the two of you?
• You: Sinbad was just joking! Did you really think he meant it?
• Light leans against the deck and purses his lips, unhappy with my answer.
• Light: Well, if you whisper some sweet nothings in my ear, I might believe you.
• Come to think of it, I've never confessed my feelings for him.
• You: All right... Come close, and I'll tell you.
• I grab hold of his collar, and kiss him.
• You: You know I'm not good at words. I can only show you how I feel.
• There's a moment of hesitation. Then with a twinkle in his eyes, he kissed me back...
• My heart is racing, but there is a smile on my face.
• No matter what lies beyond the seas, as long as we're together, I'm ready for anything.
• Ending: [Beyond Sand and Sea]

The orphans can have a home

• You: I wish that all the orphans of the Full Moon Kingdom can have a loving home.
• You: I've had this wish for a very long time, and now it can finally come true.
• Light: Are you sure you want to use your precious wish on others? Won't you regret it?
• You: I won't.
• You: After spending so much time with you, I realize I already have the most precious thing in the world.
• You: And I might as well stick to the dream I've had all along, and use the wish to benefit orphans like me.
• Light: The most precious thing in the world? What is it? Why don't I know anything about it?
• You: Alibaba said that there's something even more powerful than magic in this world.
• You: And I have it already. That's why I'm always the one to wake you up.
• Light laughs.
• Light: All right, then I shall grant your wish.
• With a snap of Light's fingers, blinding light floods the room.
• After the rainy season, Kahir ascends the throne, and issues a decree to abolish all slavery.
• Ah orphanage funded by the royal family is established, and I am placed in charge to take care of the orphans.
• Samar: Gina! You've been waiting by the door from early in the morning. Are you waiting for Light?
• You: Of course not! I just came out for a breath while the children are all napping.
• Still I can't help glancing down the street.
• A wail comes from the backyard.
• I run over and see Abu sobbing.
• There's a young man trying to console the little boy.
• Abu: Gina! This guy is a bully! He broke my camel!
• Light: It's just an ugly toy. What's there to cry over?
• Light: When you grow up, I'll take you out to ride on a real camel.
• Abu: That's not the point! Gina made this camel for me!
• You: Don't cry, Abu! I can fix it. I guarantee it'll be as good as new.
• Abu: Thank you so much! I love you, Gina!
• Abu tries to run over to me, but Light holds him back.
• Light: Whoa, Gina, I didn't know you could make such things. Why don't you make me one?
• You: Didn't you just say it's ugly?
• Light: Camels are ugly, but you could make me a lion! Just like the great symbol of our nation!
• You: It's a child's toy. What are you going to do with it?
• Light: The foreign emissaries gave the Palace a lot of good stuff. I'm sending the items that Kahir gave me over to this place.
• Light: With that in mind, is it still too much to ask for a rag doll?
• Amused, there's nothing I can do but accept his childish request.
• Abu: Hmph! You are a bad person, and you will never win Gina over! She doesn't like bad boys!
• Abu: When I grow up, I'm going to marry Gina.
• Light: Oh? Then you better grow up quickly. Gina can't wait forever.
• Light and Abu giddily chase each other around a tree. Samar brings out needle and thread and mends the puppet with me.
• The yard is filled with sunshine, and the leaves rustle in the breeze.
• As I deftly sew, the sound of laughter fills my ears.
• I think to myself... this must be what people call "happiness".
• Ending: [Rivals in Love]

Hesitate

• I hesitated.
• You: (Even if the Magic Lamp is fixed, Light and I can never be together again.)
• You: (Must I accept that we will be forever apart?)
• I look at the Magic Lamp in my hand, unable to reply.
• Alibaba stays silent for a while, and then lets out a sigh.
• Alibaba: Forget it. It's human's nature to preserve our own lives.
• Alibaba: Since you can't make up your mind, you should move on and live your life, so that his sacrifice is not in vain.
• Alibaba bids Sinbad goodbye, and leaves the mansion.
• After the rainy season, Kahir ascends the throne, and issues a decree to abolish all slavery.
• Ah orphanage funded by the royal family is established. Now all the orphans of the capital have a loving home.
• The young king also orders the construction of a monument by the sea, engraved with the historical events that took place 70 years ago.
• At a morning of the early summer, Kahir dressed lightly and comes out to the wharf with me.
• In the center of the harbor square stands an ivory monument.
• The workers followed my suggestions, and built it to look like a serene lighthouse instead of a majestic edifice.
• Kahir: As a child, I yearned for the moment when I would be crowned King.
• Kahir: I often imagined taking up the scepter of my ancestors and waving to the cheering people from on high, gazing out across the vast desert...
• Kahir: But when I actually became King, it wasn't as exciting as I had imagined.
• Kahir looks off into the distance.
• Looking at him, I suddenly realize that he's become a lot more melancholy. When did he become like this?
• You: That's because you're more mature and composed now.
• Kahir: I didn't know if I can define myself mature and composed, even now.
• Kahir: But I've realized that behind the glory lie heavy responsibilities and heartbreaking sacrifices.
• Kahir lets out a long sigh, and we fall silent.
• The sun rises slowly above the sea, and the breeze smells of jasmine.
• The base of the monument is engraved with the title "Prince Arslan". The gilded inscription gleams in the sun.
• People have been talking about the tale of this hero for months.
• But I will always cherish my own memories of "Light" deeply inside my heart.
• Ending: [Grief and Remembrance]

Agitated

• I pull the blanket over my head, trying to shut out the sounds of people partying, and eventually fall asleep.
• I dream about Light again. He is standing alone on the sand dune, with a sad smile on his face.
• The blanket is once again wet with tears.
• After the rainy season, Kahir ascends the throne, and issues a decree to abolish all slavery.
• Ah orphanage funded by the royal family is established. Now all the orphans of the capital have a loving home.
• The young king also orders the construction of a monument by the sea, engraved with the historical events that took place 70 years ago.
