**[02:32] Gramps B**
You've got to be kidding.
**[02:33] Gramps A**
It's a girl!
**[02:35] Gramps B**
Where'd you find her?!
**[02:36] Grans B**
She isn't hurt, is she?
**[02:38] Grans A**
What kind of clothing is she wearing?
**[02:41] Grans A**
And isn't this kitchen knife a bit long?
**[02:45] Gramps A**
Ah, well, this is good news, really.
**[02:50] Grans A**
You're right.
**[02:51] Grans B**
No doubt.
**[02:53] Gramps B**
We should talk about this.
**[02:54] Gramps A**
Yes, let's do that.
**[02:56] Grans B**
Kaina, keep an eye on her.
**[02:59] Grans B**
We're going to go talk to the Signkeeper.
**[03:02] Kaina**
What? Hey, wait, don't...
**[03:25] Kaina**
So soft!
**[03:35] Ririha**
Jarge!
**[03:46] Ririha**
Who are you?
**[03:47] Kaina**
Huh?
**[03:49] Ririha**
Who are you?
**[03:51] Kaina**
Oh, I-I'm Kaina.
**[04:02] Ririha**
What happened to me?
**[04:04] Kaina**
Huh? Oh...
**[04:06] Kaina**
You were about to float away, but I managed
to pull you out of the basket...
**[04:11] Ririha**
Basket? The floater...
**[04:16] Ririha**
Is this...?
**[04:17] Kaina**
A v-village on the Canopy.
**[04:20] Ririha**
Canopy? That means I've...
**[04:26] Kaina**
Oh, the grans took your clothes to—
**[04:34] Grans B**
You're awake.
**[04:44] Ririha**
The... sage?
**[04:46] Signkeeper**
Huh?
**[04:47] Ririha**
I am Ririha, the Princess of Atland.
**[04:50] Gramps B**
Wow, a princess!
**[04:52] Ririha**
In search of the sage,
I came to the Canopy—
**[04:55] Grans A**
Princess, this man is the Signkeeper.
**[04:58] Ririha**
Huh? But isn't this...?
**[05:11] Ririha**
I'm so high up!
**[05:23] Ririha**
I'm not dreaming...
**[05:25] Ririha**
There really is a place above the Canopy!
**[05:30] Kaina**
Um...
**[05:33] Kaina**
Should you be moving around like this?
**[05:37] Ririha**
Please take me to the sage!
**[05:44] Grans B**
Here.
**[05:46] Grans B**
It's leaf beetle pupa soup.
It'll boost your energy.
**[05:51] Ririha**
Thank you.
**[05:53] Grans A**
The Signkeeper over here collects
these ancient slabs called billboards,
**[05:59] Grans A**
and mumbles some kind of spell.
He's an odd old man.
**[06:03] Signkeeper**
Don't be rude. I'm just reading the words.
**[06:07] Grans B**
Ririha, was it?
**[06:11] Grans B**
Could you tell us your story?
**[06:16] Ririha**
My home, Atland, is a small country
at the foot of a spire tree.
**[06:21] Villagers**
At the foot?!
**[06:22] Signkeeper**
Does that mean you're from the Snow Sea?
**[06:29] Ririha**
Um...
**[06:31] Ririha**
Yes...
**[06:33] Gramps B**
Unbelievable. People live in the Snow Sea?
**[06:37] Kaina**
See? I told you there were
people down in the Snow Sea!
**[06:41] Grans A**
How many are there?
**[06:43] Ririha**
About a thousand...
**[06:45] Grans A**
What?
**[06:46] Gramps A**
That many?!
**[06:46] Gramps B**
Wow...
**[06:48] Ririha**
What about here? How many
people live up here?
**[06:53] Grans B**
The only villagers left on the Canopy are us.
**[06:59] Ririha**
What?
**[07:00] Signkeeper**
There used to be other villages
like this all over the Canopy.
**[07:07] Signkeeper**
But the water dried up,
and this became the last village.
**[07:14] Ririha**
I see. Which means the sage isn't here.
**[07:20] Kaina**
"Which means"? What?
**[07:22] Signkeeper**
Why are you looking for this
sage that you speak of?
**[07:31] Ririha**
Our world, the Snow Sea, is also
on the verge of extinction.
**[07:36] Villagers**
What?
**[07:38] Ririha**
Since the surface is
engulfed by the Snow Sea,
**[07:40] Ririha**
only a limited area around the foot
of spire trees is habitable.
**[07:45] Ririha**
We rely on this limited land.
**[07:49] Ririha**
We make our lives there,
protecting our precious water.
**[07:53] Ririha**
But Valghia, a country with
a powerful fleet of ships,
**[07:58] Ririha**
started stealing water from
its neighbors, one after another.
**[08:02] Ririha**
Countries collapsed after
their water was stolen.
**[08:05] Ririha**
Any survivors became slaves.
**[08:09] Ririha**
Valghia has also approached our land.
**[08:14] Gramps B**
So there's a war going on in the Snow Sea...
**[08:19] Ririha**
But regardless of who wins,
**[08:22] Ririha**
we must resolve the water shortage,
or the world will one day end regardless.
**[08:28] Ririha**
I wanted to do something about it.
**[08:31] Signkeeper**
Is there something you can do?
**[08:34] Ririha**
When I was a child, my mother
told me stories about "the sage."
**[08:40] Ririha**
This sage had magical powers, and was able
to create an endless supply of water.
**[08:44] Gramps A**
That's amazing.
**[08:46] Grans A**
So you came here looking for that sage.
**[08:49] Grans A**
But why did you think he'd be on the Canopy?
**[08:55] Ririha**
Well...
**[08:58] Grans B**
Oh, don't push yourself too hard.
**[09:02] Grans B**
You risked your life to get here.
**[09:06] Grans B**
We're sorry for pushing you.
**[09:09] Ririha**
Not at all...
**[09:11] Grans A**
Just focus on resting for now.
**[09:13] Signkeeper**
It's a small village,
but make yourself at home.
**[09:17] Gramps B**
Yes, yes.
**[09:19] Gramps A**
You can stay as long as you'd like.
**[09:20] Ririha**
No, now that I know the sage isn't here,
I must return to Atland immediately.
**[09:27] Ririha**
Our negotiation deadline is approaching.
**[09:30] Grans A**
Huh?
**[09:30] Gramps A**
Just when we thought we found a good girl.
**[09:34] Kaina**
Huh?
**[09:34] Ririha**
I'm sorry, but I'm running out of time.
**[09:38] Gramps B**
We get that your situation is serious,
but how do you plan to get down?
**[09:43] Ririha**
Huh?
**[09:44] Gramps B**
We don't have a way to
get down to the Snow Sea.
**[09:48] Ririha**
What?
**[09:51] Ririha**
Th-That can't be! What am I to do, then?!
**[10:03] Ririha**
Father, Yaona, everyone...
**[10:08] Ririha**
If only I could ride the floaters again.
**[10:13] Kaina**
I wish I could help her.
**[10:35] Ririha**
That's right, I'm on the Canopy...
**[10:40] Ririha**
Yes?
**[10:43] Grans A**
Are you up?
**[10:44] Ririha**
G-Good morning!
**[10:47] Grans A**
Actually, it's past noon.
**[10:52] Grans B**
Did you sleep well?
**[10:55] Grans A**
Ririha, could you stand up for a minute?
**[10:58] Ririha**
Huh?
**[11:04] Ririha**
Um...?
**[11:05] Grans B**
Don't worry, we're just
making clothes for you.
**[11:10] Ririha**
Clothes?
**[11:10] Grans A**
All right, straighten your back.
**[11:13] Grans B**
We were going to make some
when a young lady came along.
**[11:19] Grans B**
We hope you'll wear them.
**[11:21] Ririha**
Th-Thank you.
**[11:23] Grans A**
Excuse me.
**[11:25] Grans A**
Let's see...
**[11:26] Grans B**
I'm sure you'll look great.
**[11:30] Grans A**
We washed the clothes you had on.
**[11:34] Grans A**
Oh, Kaina. What are you doing there?
**[11:38] Kaina**
Oh, uh, nothing?
**[11:41] Grans B**
You came at a good time. Could you
give Ririha a tour of the village?
**[11:46] Kaina**
What?
**[11:47] Kaina**
Oh, okay.
**[11:52] Ririha**
I didn't know the branches were hollow...
**[11:59] Kaina**
Aren't there bugs in the Snow Sea, too?
**[12:02] Ririha**
Well, we don't normally eat them.
**[12:04] Kaina**
They're really good.
**[12:06] Kaina**
Oh, you had them yesterday.
**[12:08] Ririha**
Huh?
**[12:09] Kaina**
The leaf beetle pupa soup.
**[12:11] Ririha**
Um...
**[12:14] Ririha**
What?!
**[12:16] Kaina**
We stick a tube in the water vein
to collect water, like this.
**[12:20] Ririha**
It's very similar to how we do it in Atland.
**[12:23] Kaina**
Yeah?
**[12:25] Kaina**
But recently, the water
output's been dropping.
**[12:28] Ririha**
Here, too? I guess it's the same everywhere.
**[12:33] Kaina**
Since it stopped snowing,
I'll show you the outside.
**[12:37] Ririha**
Snow...
**[12:39] Ririha**
It's falling from all the way up here...
**[12:43] Ririha**
What's that?
**[12:44] Kaina**
He's collecting glow shells.
**[12:45] Ririha**
What? Is it safe?
**[12:48] Kaina**
It's easy once you get the hang of it.
**[12:51] Ririha**
I wonder if we could get down
to the Snow Sea like that?
**[12:55] Kaina**
We wouldn't be able to.
**[12:57] Kaina**
We don't have a rope long
enough to reach the Snow Sea.
**[13:00] Kaina**
That's as far as we can go.
**[13:04] Kaina**
Giant tree flies have laid eggs
around there, so it's dangerous.
**[13:13] Kaina**
Okay, I'll show you how to
collect glow shells next.
**[13:17] Kaina**
I'll go get the tools, so wait here.
**[13:24] Gramps B**
I never imagined someone
would visit our village.
**[13:27] Gramps A**
And a young lady, at that.
**[13:30] Grans A**
I'm so happy. The village will be so lively.
**[13:33] Gramps A/B**
Yes, yes.
**[13:34] Gramps A**
And eventually...
**[13:36] Gramps A/B**
Yes, yes.
**[13:38] Grans A**
I hope that's what'll happen.
**[13:43] Gramps B**
What's up, Signkeeper?
**[13:45] Signkeeper**
I need to talk to you all.
**[14:12] Ririha**
No, don't go!
**[14:22] Ririha**
Ow!
**[14:26] Ririha**
Huh?
**[14:28] Ririha**
What's this?
**[15:15] Kaina**
Ririha!
**[15:18] Kaina**
Wait there!
**[15:23] Kaina**
Ririha!
**[15:27] Kaina**
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
**[15:29] Ririha**
I'm sorry!
**[15:30] Ririha**
I saw a floater approaching, so I...
**[15:37] Kaina**
It's not over yet.
**[15:38] Ririha**
Huh?
**[15:38] Kaina**
It's even more mad because I've hurt it.
**[15:41] Ririha**
What?!
**[15:42] Kaina**
We need to get out of here, now.
**[15:43] Ririha**
R-Right...
**[15:51] Kaina**
I think now's our chance.
**[15:56] Kaina**
Let's go!
**[15:57] Kaina**
Ah...
**[15:58] Ririha**
Huh?
**[16:02] Kaina**
Shoot!
**[16:16] Kaina**
We would've been dead if we hadn't stopped.
**[16:20] Kaina**
Let's go.
**[16:24] Grans A**
What were you thinking?!
Going all the way down there...
**[16:28] Ririha**
I'm sorry.
**[16:31] Grans A**
I'm so glad you're all right.
**[16:34] Ririha**
Ma'am...
**[16:37] Signkeeper**
Kaina, Ririha, we need to talk to you both.
**[16:44] Signkeeper**
Ririha. You want to return to the
Snow Sea no matter what, right?
**[16:52] Ririha**
Yes.
**[16:53] Signkeeper**
I see. Then would you like to try,
even if it's dangerous?
**[16:59] Ririha**
Huh? Is there a way?
**[17:02] Kaina**
Signkeeper?
**[17:03] Signkeeper**
You'll use these.
**[17:06] Kaina**
Are these... bug links?
**[17:10] Kaina**
No...
**[17:13] Kaina**
It's a lot harder...
**[17:15] Signkeeper**
I don't know what material it's
made of, but it's exceptionally sturdy.
**[17:20] Kaina**
But we don't have a rope
that'll reach the Snow Sea.
**[17:24] Gramps A**
Right, so you'll have to collect
the rope and re-use it.
**[17:30] Gramps A**
You know how to do that, right?
**[17:31] Kaina**
Uh, yeah, but then...
**[17:35] Signkeeper**
Yes, there's no coming
back up once you go down.
**[17:45] Kaina**
But... how many bug pegs will
it take to hook the rope?
**[17:50] Kaina**
We can't collect those.
**[17:52] Signkeeper**
You won't use bug pegs.
You'll use this instead.
**[17:56] Signkeeper**
It's called a bark cutter.
**[17:59] Kaina**
Bark cutter?
**[18:00] Signkeeper**
It's a very important carpenter's tool,
passed down from generation to generation.
**[18:04] Signkeeper**
Use it to carve out the bark
and create a hook for the rope.
**[18:08] Kaina**
But Ririha can't do something like that.
**[18:12] Signkeeper**
You'll go with her, Kaina.
**[18:15] Kaina**
What?
**[18:15] Signkeeper**
You're the only one that can lead the way.
**[18:20] Kaina**
I'm going with her?
**[18:23] Signkeeper**
Make sure she gets home safe and sound.
**[18:27] Signkeeper**
It was a blessing to learn that
people live in the Snow Sea.
**[18:32] Signkeeper**
Once we died, you would've
been all alone up here.
**[18:40] Kaina**
Everyone, you...
**[18:47] Ririha**
Yes?
**[18:49] Grans B**
Morning.
**[18:51] Ririha**
Good morning.
**[18:52] Grans A**
Here you go, your wedding dress.
**[18:56] Ririha**
What? Wed...?
**[18:59] Grans A**
I'm just kidding. It's your pressure suit.
**[19:02] Ririha**
Oh.
**[19:04] Grans B**
We were hoping you'd stay
in this village forever.
**[19:10] Grans B**
But you have somewhere else you have to be.
**[19:15] Ririha**
Ma'am...
**[19:18] Grans B**
You have such a clear,
straightforward look in your eyes.
**[19:23] Grans B**
Those are the eyes of a
woman who knows what to do.
***SIGN*** Caution: Large Insects Region
**[19:36] Kaina**
Okay!
**[19:39] Kaina**
Oh yeah, here.
**[19:41] Ririha**
Huh?
**[19:42] Ririha**
This is Jarge's...
**[19:44] Kaina**
It looked important, so I brought it with me.
**[19:51] Ririha**
Thank you.
**[19:53] Gramps A**
Here, we braided this rope for you.
**[19:59] Kaina**
Thanks, everyone.
**[20:00] Signkeeper**
By the way, Kaina...
**[20:02] Kaina**
Yeah?
**[20:03] Signkeeper**
When you use the bark cutter, have the
knob turned to just the first click.
**[20:08] Signkeeper**
If you turn it further than that,
you won't be able to use it for a while.
**[20:13] Kaina**
Oh... Got it.
**[20:21] Ririha**
I appreciate your hospitality.
Thank you for everything.
**[20:28] Kaina**
I'm going, everyone!
**[20:29] Grans A**
Don't eat bugs you've never seen before!
**[20:32] Gramps A**
When you see the king,
make sure you say hello!
**[20:35] Kaina**
I know.
**[20:36] Grans B**
Don't sleep with your stomach bare!
**[20:41] Kaina**
I'm not a little kid anymore!
**[20:44] Signkeeper**
When you get to the Snow Sea,
look for other written words!
**[20:49] Signkeeper**
If you find some, read them out loud!
**[21:02] Kaina**
Let's go, Ririha.
**[21:03] Ririha**
Okay.
