Smiles Under the LimelightDialogue
The Prince: That should be the last of the fiends in this area.
The Prince: Hm? Is that...?
Annelie: Euden! Fancy meeting you here!
The Prince: Hi, Annelie. Ah, and you two as well.
Siren: Hey there, Prince!
Felicia: Good day.
The Prince: What are you all up to?
Annelie: We're rehearsing for the circus's New Year's production!
Annelie: These two lovely ladies have agreed to put on a special performance.
Annelie: We're calling it "The Diva and the Dancer!"
Siren: It's gonna be sooooo great! I'll be singing, and Felicia's gonna dance!
Felicia: I've never danced at a circus before, but I'm quite excited at the prospect.
Annelie: I've got some box seats with your name on 'em, prince! It's the least I can do after all you've done for us this year.
The Prince: Heh, thanks Annelie. I'll round up the others and we'll all come together.
Annelie: Excellent! We'll put on a show you'll remember for the rest of your days— and maybe even after!
The Prince: I can't wait.
Annelie: All right, ladies, back to it! We don't want to embarrass ourselves in front of all our friends, do we?!
Siren: No way!
Felicia: Let us continue until our performance becomes second nature.
Together: Yeah!
The Prince: Those three seem to be enjoying themselves.
The Prince: It's hard to believe we all met each other just this year.
The Prince: Siren and Felicia were both so sad back then. But now...
Phantom: They walk beneath the light.
The Prince: Phantom? Have you been watching them practice as well?
Fritz: If Felicia's dancing, this guy's there, nine times outta ten. Borders on creepy, if you ask me.
Phantom: I merely wish to observe how she elects to live her life.
Fritz: ...Right. Not sure if that makes it any less creepy, but I guess I can kinda understand wanting to look after someone like that.
The Prince: All three of them have suffered in the past, but they also found the strength to persevere. The smiles they wear now are testament to that.
Phantom: Indeed...
Phantom: Euden! As this year ends, I pledge my strength to you anew, that we may protect and preserve those smiles.
Fritz: Count me in too. You've done us a real solid this year, letting us base our circus here and all.
Fritz: I won't forget that anytime soon.
The Prince: I'm grateful to have you both on the team.
The Prince: And I'd love to stay and reminisce some more, but there are still fiends to slay!
