(In the Betweenlands)

[player]: “Wow. This dimension is nightmare fuel.”

([player] comes across a baby Chiromaw - seemingly abandoned by its mother)

[player]: “Hey there little guy. Are you lost?”

(The Chiromaw bites [player]'s finger)

[player]: “Ow! Okay, I guess you’re not a friendly little guy. Where’s your mama? I’ll try to help you find her.”

([player] looks around for any signs of the Chiromaw’s mother but is unable to find her)

[player]: “Seems like we’re on our own for now. I can’t leave you out here by yourself. I’ll take you with me and we’ll figure things out.”

(Just then, a larger Chiromaw scoops up the baby Chiromaw)

Female Chiromaw: (relieved) “Oh, my sweet baby! It’s nice to finally see you again!”

[player]: (surprised) “Oh, wow. I’m glad I could help reunite you two.”

Female Chiromaw: (grateful) “Thank you for watching over my baby. I’m Lisa, by the way! And you?”

[player]: “I’m [player]. Nice to meet you, Lisa. I’m just passing through this dimension, but I’m happy to have helped.”

Lisa: “You really did. Chiromaws are known to be aggressive, but my baby must have sensed something in you to let you get close.”

[player]: (grins) “Maybe I have a way with animals.”

Lisa: (chuckles) “Perhaps. In any case, thank you again. Is there anything I can do for you?”

[player]: “Actually, I’m heading back to the Overworld. Do you and your baby want to move into my base?”

Lisa: (correcting) “I think you mean ‘babies’.”

[player]: (surprised) “Babies?”

Lisa: “Yep!”

[player]: “Well, where are they?”

Lisa: (pointing to her belly) “They’re in here!”

(Lisa’s babies start kicking)

[player]: (amazed) “Oh wow, congratulations! That’s so exciting.”

Lisa: (smiling) “Thank you! It’s been quite an adventure, being a mom in this dimension. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

[player]: (nodding) “I bet. Well, if you and your little ones want a safe place to stay, my base is always open. Just follow me.”

(Lisa and her babies follow [player] to his base in the Overworld)

[player]: “Here we are. It’s not much, but it’s cozy.”

Lisa: (impressed) “It’s perfect. Thank you so much, [player].”

[player]: “No problem. It’s always good to have some company.”

(Lisa and her babies settle in, and [player] can hear the faint sounds of their chirping and cooing throughout his base. He smiles, feeling a sense of warmth and contentment in knowing he was able to help a family in need. But that night, Lisa starts feeling uncomfortable)

Lisa: “Ugh…something feels off.”

(Lisa gets out of bed to get something to eat)
