Alleyway

"But it wasn't me."

Street

Broly, I believe you, but...

-Hopper holds onto Binch-

It's gonna be okay. We're back together now. No leaders to separate us.

... If Runt trusts you, then fine. Hopper trusts you for now.

... And Hopper isn't scared.

Alleyway

"You seemed scared but okay."

Street

-Hopper's wiping his face-

Was not...

-Binch ruffles Hopper's fur-

Broly! My friend's back! He's really back!

Street

-He actually cracks a smile at this-

"I'm glad...he seems important to you."

Street

Mmmh, we were together from the start. Hopper... he protected me cause I was small.

After... training... Runt would talk into my ears. Calmed me down.

Now we got people like you, Broly. And kinder rat friends!

Alleyway

"Binch did the same thing for me..."

Street

I guess I'm good at it, yes yes.

Talking is Binch's special skill.

... Is that really your new name? ... Binch...

Alleyway

"It's the name he told me...I am Broly."

-So, Hopper...the demon has a name-

Street

It was a word on a shirt I found. And I liked it. Lots.

But you can still call me that. It'll be our special name.

... Fine fine, you are now Binch, Runt.

Broly...

You seem better than the not-you. Not punching holes in fellow Skaven.

Alleyways

-Broly shakes his head-

"No...I hate when I'm like that. When I'm angry and...raging..."

-So...he does do stuff like that...just not...currently...-

Street

... Ah, I'll be sure to... hide... when that happens...

-Hopper's ears fold back-

No no, Broly wouldn't do that to someone he knew was my friend.

Alleyways

-Wow, now the giant monster man almost seems kind of...ashamed actually-

Street

...

-Hopper stands up to Broly's height. For a rat, he seems pretty strong too, even if he can't make Broly flinch-

-He forces himself to stop jittering-

I'll be fine. If Hopper can't make friends with you, then how could I ever call myself brave?

Last Life Arcade -> Streets - Last Life Arcade (Jean)

-Annnnnnnnd bingo!-

"Yes! I did it, I did it!"

-She beat the high score! Oh yeah!-

-She's having to resist herself from jumping a little! SHE FINALLY BEAT IT!-

-SHE IS THE CHAMPION OF THIS ARCADE—-

-...Or she's happy until she hears someone telling her to be quieter, which causes her to simply apologize...-

-Annnnnnnnnd then she flees the store, unable to believe how much of a fool she made of herself.-

-Urk...! Why?!-

-So now she's standing outside of the arcade, with her head lowered.-

-What an embarrassing start to the day...-

Street

(Oh, Jean, watch out - you're running out into the street! You hear the screech of brakes, but you don't feel anything except the feeling of being spun around by someone grabbing you...)

Streets - Arcade (Jean)

-...?! Wait, she's on the—-

-Oh crud, she wasn't paying attention and— Brakes...?! T-That means...-

-I-Is she going to die because she was too stupid?!-

-What a way to go, and she can't even use her belt because she's a bit too paralyzed.-

-She doesn't want to die! She has way too much left to do!-

-She... She never got to confess to James...-

"Kyaaaaaa!"

-But suddenly she feels being spun around...? What's going on?!-

-She's honestly rather scared, especially horrified by her stupidity.-

Streets

(There's some indistinct, probably daytime-inappropriate, and definitely angry yelling coming from presumably the driver.)

???: Are you hurt? (Definitely female, very calm, sounds oddly young, maybe about your age?)

Streets - Last Life Arcade (Jean)

-...-

-...?-

-She hears angry yelling... She's not dead?-

-...Well, not physically dead. She's dead inside because she wandered out onto the street like an idiot, and now there's a driver that's really angry at her, and ISN'T THIS DAY JUST GREAT?-

-She does hear the calm voice, and finally opens her eyes back up...-

"...I-I think so..."

-Who the heck is this, and how are they so calm?!-

-She needs a minute to sort through all of this... Almost getting hit by a car is... you know, not really good for your ability to think straight.-

Street

(The angry yelling recedes as Jean is half-pulled back onto the sidewalk, the driver eventually having his fill and driving off. Jean would now have a good look at what seems to be a white-haired teen girl in a frilly, elegant black dress and the most serious look on her face.)

??: That was a dangerous act.

(And blunt way with words.)

Streets - Last Life Arcade (Jean)

-Jean can't help but watch as the driver leaves.-

"...S-Sor...ry..."

-Ack, she couldn't get it out in time...-

-What has she done?-

-She looks back at the girl, and... holy crud, is she into gothic lolita clothing? Dang, Jean would wear that type of thing all the time if she could...-

-...O-Oh, serious expression... Not good!-

-Considering she just almost got herself run over and this girl just saved her sorry behind...-

"I-I'm really, really, really sorry! I-I don't know what came over me!"

-She's usually not that stupid! She doesn't know how she managed to run off in the middle of traffic like that.-

-She honestly feels extremely guilty.-

Streets

??: ...Turn your head.

(Wha?)

Streets - Last Life Arcade (Jean)

-...?-

"...Uh... O-OK..."

-Jean slowly and nervously turns her head...-

Street

(The girl leans in slightly to get a closer look at her neck for some reason, then pulls back.)

??: What do you last remember doing?

Streets - Last Life Arcade (Jean)

-...?-

-What, is something wrong with her neck...?-

"I-I was in the arcade, and I... guess I got overexcited, and..."

-She lowers her head, red.-

"...A-An employee got frustrated and I couldn't bear to show my face in there after that..."

-She just doesn't handle embarrassment well...-
