While it would certainly be <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-s">Wise</span></span> to escape now to your village while you still can, and the <span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">Selfish</span></span> part of you dictates that the only decent reason to stay would be to go back for the rest of the rupees, it is ultimately something else that wins out in your heart - the <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">Courage</span></span> to do the right thing, even when it scares you. If this ship has aligned itself with the <span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">Demon Warlord</span></span> - moving supplies, sinking <span class="mu-s">Royal Naval</span> vessels, and even robbing or killing merchant sailors - you're willing to risk your life to put a stop to it.
You heave a deep sigh and point your cutlass to the door that leads lower into the ship. <span class="mu-s">Kyokimi</span> meets your eye and nods in agreement. <span class="mu-g">"I... I think you're right, these privateers are killing innocent people, they're helping to keep the naval theatre in a gridlock, which is just what <span class="mu-s">Onox</span> wants... If you want to double back to sabotage the ship, I'll g-"</span> She starts to speak, but is interrupted by a voice that addresses you both, as the mask fastened to the back of your head evaporates into a yellow mist that coalesces between you on the floor in the shape of a three-tailed fox.
<span class="mu-b">"Hold up, hold up... Look, I like that your hearts are in the right place, but I barely just got free by the tip of my third tail... so I think this may be where we have to part ways."</span> <span class="mu-s">Oshi</span> interjects. His head twists to look up at <span class="mu-s">Kyokimi</span> first. <span class="mu-b">"Maybe for the best we don't do names? I attach easily."</span> Then his attention focuses directly on you. <span class="mu-b">"You aren't one of those</span> <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-s">Legendary Hero</span></span> <span class="mu-b">types, are you? Hard times for that whole enterprise, yaknow... Anyways, uh, it's been a real laugh and a half, old pal. Come find me in the tall grass sometime, we'll make a day of it."</span> He opens that one scarlet eye again, and disappears from sight in a blink.
<span class="mu-s">Kyokimi's</span> gaze gradually escalates from where the fox was sitting to meet your own. <span class="mu-g">"Was that... A <span class="mu-s">Keaton</span>? How...?"</span> She starts, then flutters her eyes perhaps in an attempt to see if she is dreaming, before shaking her head to physically dispel the questions from inside of it. <span class="mu-g">"Nevermind, let's hurry. I cut the fuse earlier when I went to go looking for you, and I originally had it measured for fifteen minutes in case we ran into trouble. Once we re-ignite it, I think we'll have about ten, so we'll have to be fast. But if the munitions go off, it'll sink the whole ship without a doubt. Come on, I'll show you."</span>
