FFBE Script part 40: Don't Give In to Sadness
Previously....
KOLOBOS ISLE - DON'T GIVE IN TO SADNESS - SHRINE OF DECAY OPENING
(The party enters the Shrine of Decay. They come to a stop as Rain gets a ! over his head.)
Researcher: ...The experiment is a success.
???: The power is even greater than we had predicted it would be. So quality components will raise the fighting power of our "weapons". Just as I'd theorized.
Researcher: But mass production remains an issue...
???: If we do not have enough corpses, then we'll have to make some. Shall we wait for the others to join us as we prepare for the experiment?
(The party enters the chamber as the researchers leave the area.)
Lasswell: What were they speaking of?
Emma: I... I know that man. My mother called him "the professor."
Fina: And what kind of "weapon" were those researchers talking about?
Lasswell: They spoke of.. quality components...
(A zombie enters from the west!)
Lasswell: Rain! Fina!

KOLOBOS ISLE - DON'T GIVE IN TO SADNESS - SHRINE OF DECAY 1
Emma: Mommy never talked to me about her research. I heard about the accident from one of her work friends. What could she have been studying in a place like this? It couldn't have been anything...bad... could it?
(Wave 1 of battle commences, and progresses to wave 2.)
Emma: I heard stories about that professor. Scary stories. They say anyone who argued with him would be missing the next day. They say he was always talking with a man in dark armor.
Lasswell: Dark armor....!?
Rain: Sounds like we should pay this professor a visit.
(Wave 2 commences. There is no further dialogue.)

KOLOBOS ISLE - DON'T GIVE IN TO SADNESS - SHRINE OF DECAY 2
(The party is walking further into the shrine. They come to a stop as Lasswell gets a ! over his head.)
Lasswell: What is that thing!?
(The party rushes forward towards the professor, who is standing in front of something we can't see yet.
???: Oh. So it is you all. How wonderful! I'm glad I released one of the strength-enhanced regular models. This will make for great data.
Rain: Who are you....?
???: Oh. How rude of me. You may call me Lazarov.
Dr. Lazarov: I was quite well acquainted with some of your men, you might say.
Rain: Our..men?
Dr. Lazarov: Yes, one of my assistants went all the way to Grandshelt to rob those graves. They were fine soldiers, after all. Even dead, they remain so.
Rain: You... You turned my men into....
Dr. Lazarov: You saw them, didn't you? The weapons that I created. Weren't they just delicious?
Emma: Did my mother die... for the sake of this man's research?
Dr. Lazarov: Hmm? I thought you looked familiar... You're the daughter of that woman who objected to my experiments, aren't you? You look just as impertinent as your mother did. Why don't I turn you into one of my weapons, like I did your mother?
Emma: Wha...
Dr. Lazarov: Oh, don't you worry. We said it was all just an accident. It was all covered up neatly.
(Emma takes a step back.)
Emma: Y-you.... You're horrible...
(Lasswell takes a few steps forward towards the professor.)
Lasswell: You are a monster!
(Lasswell and Rain draw their swords.)
Dr. Lazarov: Heh heh heh heh.. But I'm not the one you'll be fighting!
(Dr. Lazarov presses a button, and a panel slides up and smoke pours out as the screen goes white.)
(Editor's note: I'm pretty sure a battle occurs here, but it was not available in the replay through the Book of Recollection.)

KOLOBOS ISLE - DON'T GIVE IN TO SADNESS - SHRINE OF DECAY ENDING
(The party is looking around.)
Rain: Argh! Where did he go!?
Dr. Lazarov: What a surprise. It seems that body of yours holds quite a bit more potential than I'd expected. It seems Lord Veritas was correct, then.
Rain: Veritas!?
Dr. Lazarov: I suppose we'll meet again. I'll continue my research, and improve my creations, so that you might enjoy our next meeting even more... Heh heh!
Rain: Damn it! He got away!
Lasswell: I'm sorry, Emma... We failed to avenge your mother....
Emma: No... You fought as hard as you could. Thank you.
(Fina gets a ! over her head as she spots something.)
Fina: Hey! Everyone, look there!
(There is a woman laying on the floor. The party approaches her, led by Emma.)
Emma: ...It's her. My mom... She's still wearing the same ring that my father wore. I... I always worried, you know. I was afraid she might have been part of something really terrible... How stupid of me. I never needed to worry about that. My mom never would have followed the orders of a monster like that. You were amazing. You were the best. You really were, Mom... But... there's just one thing... One thing I can't forgive you for...
(Emma starts to cry.)
Emma: Why did you have to die? Why did you leave me? Mom.... *sniffle* *sniffle* Waahhhhhhhh! Moooooommmmmmmm!!!
(Rain, Lasswell, and Fina get (...) over their heads. Lasswell approaches Emma.)
Lasswell: Come, Emma. Say your farewell to your mother. Then we'll go.
Emma: ....OK.
