Lone Puppeteer:
Depending on your progress in the story, characters you have yet to recruit may appear in these events.
(The Onion Knight defeats a Scorpion)
- Onion Knight: That looks like the last of them around here.
(Aphmau arrives)
- Aphmau: Ovjang! There you are!
- Aphmau: Oh! You're not Ovjang! I'm sorry.
- Onion Knight: Don't worry about it. Are you looking for someone? Maybe we can help.
- Aphmau: Really!? Thank you! I'm looking for my automatons.
- Papalymo: An automaton...? Isn't that a puppet weapon?
- Aphmau: Ovjang and Mnejing are different! We've been together since I was little. They're precious to me.
- Papalymo: ...I see. If you're looking for them, then that must mean you've lost control of them.
- Aphmau: For other automatons, that might be the case. But not mine.
- Aphmau: They move on their own will. But they won't harm others, so don't be afraid.
- Vivi: They're puppets with their own will?
- Vivi: So they have souls, too...
- Warrior of Light: Existences without wills can still have souls...
- Papalymo: ...Understood. We believe you. Where did you lose sight of them?
- Aphmau: I'm not sure... When I came to, I couldn't hear their voices anymore.
- Onion Knight: Do you know which direction you came from? We can go back together.
- Aphmau: I don't remember anymore... I guess we just have to return to Aht Urhgan.
- Vivi: Aht Urhgan... Is that where you live?
- Aphmau: You haven't heard of Aht Urhgan?
- Aphmau: Just how far from home am I...?
- Warrior of Light: You may be the only one familiar with that place.
- Warrior of Light: I think this is a different world from the one you know.
- Papalymo: ...Hmm. Perhaps she got separated from her automatons before arriving here.
- Onion Knight: But if she can't remember when they last saw each other, they might be here.
- Onion Knight: And from the looks of it, she hasn't spoken to Materia...
- Aphmau: What's that? Did you figure something out?
- Onion Knight: Well... We need to tell you something that might be a bit hard to believe, but rest assured your automatons are probably fine.
- Aphmau: Since you were nice enough to believe me, I'll listen as best as I can.
- Onion Knight: Great. It's a long story, but...
Me as I Am:
- Aphmau: W-what!? A different world... Will I ever get back home?
- Zidane: We're sorry. Please don't cry...
- Snow: Stay calm. Breathe in... Now breathe out and release all your worries.
- Aphmau: I left my friends behind... Oh no...
- Firion: I understand. It must be hard being separated from those close to you...
- Firion: But there's no need to worry. I was reunited with my friends here, too.
- Aphmau: You're right... I'm sure someone will— Ah!
- Aphmau: What should I do? What if they find out I snuck out in disguise...!?
- Aphmau: I need to get back quickly.
- Penelo: We're looking for a way home now. If you come with us, you're sure to get back.
- Aphmau: Everyone? In that case, I'll go with you.
- Zidane: When you say you snuck out in disguise...does that mean you're a princess or something?
- Aphmau: Me!? N-no... Definitely not...
- Zidane: Alright. Sorry for the dumb question. We'll just assume you're an ordinary girl.
- Penelo: ...Actually, you're wearing some very pretty clothes, so I thought you were someone of social status.
- Penelo: But if you don't want anyone to know, we won't ask anymore. Everyone has their reasons.
- Aphmau: Really...? I'm happy that people from different worlds are nice, too.
- Firion: Well, it doesn't seem like you would lie to us. And it's not like you're trying to set us up or anything, right?
- Firion: ...Hm? What's the matter?
- Aphmau: Different worlds...
- Aphmau: This is a different world...!
- Snow: What's up? You seem happy all of a sudden.
- Aphmau: You don't know who I am, so I can act however I want, right?
- Penelo: What do you mean?
- Aphmau: Normally, I can't be myself. If I don't conduct myself with dignity, I get scolded.
- Zidane: So you're just playing a part. There's no need for that here.
- Penelo: I see... You can't walk about normally...
- Penelo: You don't have to hold back here.
- Aphmau: Thank you. I feel so much more at ease!
- Aphmau: Even if I cry, my problems won't be solved...
- Aphmau: So until I find a way home, I'll enjoy this world to the fullest!
- Snow: That's the spirit! I'm happy you could turn this around.
- Aphmau: It's my friends' advice, so I don't want to prove them wrong.
Journey of Growth:
- Aphmau: Wow! You defeated them so quickly! You guys are amazing!
- Setzer: Hey... I thought I told you to be careful...
- Bartz: What's going on here? Looks like you're all having fun!
(Bartz and Ramza arrive)
- Setzer: Don't be ridiculous. We came here to help.
- Setzer: This lady carelessly brought monsters along with her.
- Aphmau: I was so curious what was back there, so I just had to check it out!
- Bartz: A curious kid, I see... I understand. I also want to explore the world.
- Bartz: Your elders just need to keep an eye out for you.
- Cater: I know how you feel, too, but next time you should go with someone.
- Ramza: Agreed. We must scout ahead and look for danger. Thoughtless actions could put our comrades at risk.
- Aphmau: You're right... I'm sorry. I always get scolded for being careless...
- Aphmau: Even though I try to do good, I always end up making a mess of things...
- Ramza: If you really think so, you should consider your actions more carefully. People scold you because they care.
- Aphmau: Because they care... I see. I don't want them to worry.
- Bartz: I think it's fine to do whatever you want.
- Bartz: There are things that move you down to your core. You shouldn't suppress those feelings.
- Setzer: True... I occasionally indulged in dangerous pastimes long ago. You don't look before you leap when you're young.
- Ramza: Not you too, Setzer...
- Aphmau: Hehe. I'm happy it's not just me!
- Ramza: But still, you can't go on your own, especially to dangerous places like these.
- Cater: Well, aren't we overprotective?
- Setzer: It's because he has a younger sister.
- Ramza: Yes... You two are around the same age, so I'm sorry if I said too much.
- Aphmau: Don't worry about it. Thank you. I can't go making you sad, now can I?
- Aphmau: I'll be sure to invite you guys the next time I go out!
- Cater: There we go! Good going, "Big Brother"!
