...uh...Sanae, you okay?
Shut it, youkai.
San, y'really need to calm down. It ain't like Kogasa's hurtin' any-
...How revolting.
I suppose, in the end, it can't be helped...
Jazz Droids, protect Pop Star's citizens. Only assault the Despair Squad or the gray slimes if you or a bystander are confronted by them... Leave the fighting to us.
UNDERSTOOD.
Ready, men?
As I'll ever be...
Let's get this done and over with.
Ready!
Then let's go!
...Well, I have certainly learned a lot about you, Stanley... The question is, what have you learned about yourself?
...
I guess that... I learned I was being nothing more than a big jerk for no reason... And I only wanted to be a hero because I was jealous of Jumpman... But all it did was turn me into a villain, to the point where I pushed away one of the very few people in this world who supported me.
...I see... Then, I suppose I won't have to lecture you after all, hm?
Well, thank you, mister... Wait, who are you, anyways?
Ah, yes... I suppose I should introduce myself, at this point...
...You may call me Gaspar.
Huh? Who are you and why-
Save your sob stories for hell!!
Yipe!
What's going on?! What did I do?!
Oh, hey. Did that Delta Miser guy send you here too? Maybe cause a supernova to explode in your face while he's at it?
Delta, eh? Heh heh... I remember him. Though, I think you meant to say Delta Paradox. None of Beta Shadow's alternate selves go by "Miser" anymore.
Wait, how do you know this "Delta Paradox" guy?
Hee hee! He never learned how to control that "Overclocked" power out of nowhere, did he now?
In any case, I can assure you that we are here for entirely unrelated reasons... In fact, you could very well call this place my home.
Nah, last I heard of him, he was called Delta MIS- Wait, no, he was called PARALLEL BETA SHADOW, I don't know why I said that. He also had this thing where he heals people back to full health or some crap.
Anyway, the guy ended up beating me up pretty badly. Ended up losing a Sol Needle in the process.
Hm, I see... Well, if you wish to stick around, feel free... Or, you can follow Stanley here back to the present.
...But, before that... You wish to be able to assist the others better, don't you, Stanley?
...I... I do, yes.
Then, follow me... I think I know someone who just may be able to help...
Gee, that stain is still bugging me but not as hurting. Just... zapping... It's not even there and...

Visitors, huh? ...I haven't had any visitors for quite some time...

...I can't tell you until it happens...
