 01/08/2015

Sakuno: (off screen) "Where are my pickles?!"

Manaka: "Ugh, not again!"

Manaka: "See what's happening? Sakuno is transforming into a monster!"

Saskia: "But she's not? I've heard it's normal for pregnant women to eat like this."

Sakuno: (off screen) "MY PICKLES!"

Manaka: "Oh no no. This is NOT normal."

Manaka: "And you know whose fault it is, right?"

Saskia: "What do you mean?"

Manaka: "Boys!"

Saskia: "What?!"

Manaka: "Evil, troublesome... "

Manaka: "... Coward, stupid, undesirable, dirty boys!"

Saskia: "I-I thought you got over it?"

Manaka: "Yes, me too! Until Sakuno got a belly."

Sakuno: (Off screen) "Where is the bucket of candy?"

Manaka: "Oh no, not the candy!"

Manaka: "We need to hide it!"

Manaka: "It's ours and only ours!"

Manaka: "That'll do it."

Nathan: "Hello girls, I'm bored. Can I come and play here?"

Saskia: "Sure!"

Saskia: "Help me rearrange the chess board."

Nathan: "Alright."

Manaka: "Uh... What are you doing?"

Nathan: "I'm about to play chess?"

Manaka: "You know that boys are not allowed here, right?"

Nathan: "Since when?"

Manaka: "Since now! Get your filthy hands off me, monster!"

Nathan: "What's going on with you?"

Lizbeth: "How lovely, Manaka is back to her old self."

Nathan: "I seriously don't understand what you're talking about. What did I ever do to you?"

Saskia: "He's right, Manaka. You need to calm down."

Manaka: "B-but... "

Manaka: "He's putting all of us at risk!"

Saskia: "Manaka... You are paranoid."

Manaka: "Am I?"

Manaka: "Then maybe I need to find more paranoid people like me who will understand me."

Saskia: "What are you doing?"

Manaka: "What does it look like to you? I'm leaving!"

Saskia: "Don't be such a fool!"

Saskia: "Manaka, you need to calm yourself down and get to your senses."

Manaka: "No use. I've been thinking about it for a while, and this is the perfect moment."

Saskia: *snif* "Please don't go... "

Manaka: "I have to, sister!"

Saskia: "You're just a kid. We're all kids here. You'll get lost and... "

Manaka: "Nonsense! I can live on my own."

Manaka: "Goodbye world! I'll go find more adventures and conquer new lands. Wish me luck!"
