Calista rubs her head in distress, questioning Talulla desperately.
Calista
Line 62) What do you think we should do?
Talulla shoots the man a cold gaze filled with annoyance.
The man's eyebrows furrow judgingly, eavesdropping on their conversation.
Talulla speaks with great clarity.
Talulla
Line 63) Well... I was thinking that if he decides to cooperate, we could do the ceremony again and see if that sends him back. Other than that, our last resort would be to head back to the fortune-telling site and tell them about our situation. But I doubt they'll believe us.
Calista speaks in a surreal voice, trying to process their mythical obligations.
Calista
Line 64) What a pickle we have ourselves in, huh? I don't think my younger self envisioned such events to unfold.
Talulla responds in a manner of distress, releasing a sigh of exhaustion.
Talulla
Line 65) Tell me about it. I just hope we can get this situation settled down so that we don't have to worry about it anymore. It's been such a pain so far.
The man considers the girls' conversation, thinking about his actions in guilt.
Guy's narration:
Line 66) Their conversation seems quite genuine. I feel bad for acting childish earlier. We're all in the same boat when it comes to disconcertion. Might as well work as a team rather than stir up uncooperative drama just because I can't comprehend time traveling.
The man's face morphs into an expression of judgment, feeling misunderstood by the girls.
Line 67) But can they blame me for lashing out?! Don't I have every right to?
Line 68) But they're quite collected, unlike me. I should be ashamed of myself. Plus, it truly seems like they're trying to find a way to help me. How gracious of them.
The man's stomach growls, leading him to feel embarrassed.
Line 69) Staying silent won't do me any good. The sooner I make amends, the sooner I'll get home. I could use all the help I can get. Figuring this out on my own is less likely to work.
The guy stands up, approaching the girls as they eat timidly.
He looks at them awkwardly.
Talulla speaks in a manner that induces shame.
Talulla
Line 70) Finally made up your mind? That was quick. Or are you just hungry? We could hear that belly of yours from a mile away.
The man blushes, feeling humiliated by Talulla's remark.
