Kana(F): Wow, Ignatius! You were so amazing in that last battle! You're not scared of anything, are ya?

Ignatius: Uh, I wouldn't go so far as to say THAT, exactly...

Kana(F): But you always fight on the front lines, don't you?

Ignatius: Er, yeah, I guess, but—

Kana(F): That's so brave! Super Ignatius Man, charging the enemy lines head-on! I wish I could be more like you. I still get scared all the time!

Ignatius: That's only natural, Kana. Everyone gets scared sometimes.

Kana(F): Not you! You're the bravest person I know!

Ignatius: No, I'm really not—

Kana(F): So how do you do it? Teach me! Teach me! How do I not feel scared anymore? I have to get stronger if I'm gonna learn to protect everyone like Papa does!

Ignatius: I really couldn't tell you the first thing about being brave, Kana. But...hm... You said you want to get stronger? I think I can help with that.

Kana(F): Really?! You can?! Oh boy! I'd love that! Thank you so much, Ignatius!

Ignatius: Perfect. Come see me tomorrow, and we'll get started on your training, OK?

Kana(F): Yahoo!

Kana(F): Ignatius! Here, look at this!

Ignatius: Kana? What's with the bag? Wait! Did it just wriggle?!

Kana(F): Don't worry, it's all a part of my plan! I know how we can learn to not be scared! I found a whole buncha scary creatures and put 'em in this bag!

Ignatius: C-creatures?! Like what?

Kana(F): Let's see...I got some bugs, and some slimy snakey things, and...ooh! Leeches! Oh yeah, and those spiders that can shoot their hairs at you!

Ignatius: That's terrifying... How did you even manage to collect all of them?

Kana(F): I dunno. I guess I just got lucky! Anyway, let's get to practicing! We're gonna be fearless in no time!

Ignatius: Er...just what did you have in mind?

Kana(F): What else? I'm gonna open it!

Ignatius: You're just going to open it?! Right here?! Right now?!

Kana(F): Mhm! They're gonna be so mad, they're bound to come straight for us, too! But we're gonna be brave and stand our ground, just like heroes do, right?

Ignatius: H-hang on a minute there, Kana. I'm not so sure this will work.

Kana(F): Sure it will! Now, are you ready?

Ignatius: Kana, stop! I only offered to help make you stronger. Not to make you fearless. It's not even possible. Trust me.

Kana(F): But when YOU'RE on the battlefield, you're never scared!

Ignatius: That's where you're wrong. I'm terrified. Always. I can barely stand it! Even now—just being near that bag is making me tremble! K-Kana? Kana, wait, don't hold it like that or they'll start getting out—UWAAAAAH!

(Ignatius leaves)

Kana(F): I-Ignatius? He ran off! H-hey, Ignatius! Wait for meeeeeeee!

A Support

Ignatius: Hey, Kana. I'm sorry about the other day. I didn't mean to run off like that. I was just so scared by that bag you had. I didn't know what to do.

Kana(F): Huh? Oh, that's OK. But I did want to ask you about something you said. You said it's not possible to get rid of fear, right?

Ignatius: Yes.

Kana(F): So then how do you always look so brave when we're fighting the enemy?

Ignatius: It's simple. I learned to fight even when I was afraid. The important thing isn't to get rid of your fear. It's to make sure it doesn't rule you.

Kana(F): But how do you do that? I feel like I lose all control when I get scared. I don't think I'll ever be strong enough to make it go away...

Ignatius: That's not true. You can do it, Kana. I know you can. You're one of the most determined people I know. Plus, you'll have a great teacher—me!

Kana(F): Gee, Ignatius. You'd really do that for me?

Ignatius: Of course. I used to be the same way. Sometimes I'd get so scared just sparring that I could barely hold my weapon. But I realized that people need me. And I can help them best by fighting for them. When I focus on that, I'm able to overcome my fear...

Kana(F): Hm... OK! So I just need to keep in mind who I'm fighting for? I can do that!

Ignatius: Yes. But I don't want to give you the wrong idea. The fear doesn't go away. It just gets pushed back a little. You still might freeze up a bit until you get used to it.

Kana(F): OK. I'll try to keep that in mind. Thank you so much, Ignatius!

Ignatius: Glad I could help!

Kana(F): Hey, Ignatius! Some of the townspeople around here just told me a neat story! Wanna hear it?

Ignatius: Sure, I'm in the mood for a good story. Let's hear it.

Kana(F): All right. Here goes! A long, long time ago, there were two people! They were the best of friends, and they loved and trusted each other very much! But, they noticed that as they got older, they kept losing their friends. Some moved away, some they just stopped talking to, and a few even died. And so the two started to worry that they'd grow apart too. But then they heard a rumor about a type of magic flower called the Partner's Promise!

Ignatius: Partner's Promise? I've never heard of that kind of flower before.

Kana(F): That's 'cause they're so super rare! They only grow at the top of a huge mountain! But if two people pluck one together, then they stay together the rest of their lives!

Ignatius: I see. So they wanted to get this flower then, right?

Kana(F): Yup! So they decided to climb to the tallest part of the mountain. But all sorts of scary stuff happened to them on the way up! They were attacked time and again by giant evil monsters! And then there were the earthquakes, fires, lightning, ghosts—even mosquitoes!

Ignatius: S-say it isn't so! That's horrifying!

Kana(F): But nothing could stop them! They protected each other the whole way up. And, after many weeks, they reached the top!

Ignatius: That's incredible. To come through all that and be unscathed... So I take it they got their flower?

Kana(F): Nope!

Ignatius: Huh? Why?

Kana(F): 'Cause! There weren't any there!

Ignatius: You mean after all that...they were lied to?

Kana(F): That's what I thought! But the townspeople said not to be so sure. The flowers might have just died out or been picked by someone else. But hang on! I haven't even told you the weirdest part yet. Even though they didn't get the flower, they stayed best friends forever after!

Ignatius: Really?

Kana(F): Yep! And that's the end of the story! So...um, I wanted to ask you why you think they stayed best friends. Because I'm not sure I really get it... I mean, they didn't get the flower. Were they just never going to drift apart anyway, and it was all a waste?

Ignatius: Heh. I guess we won't know unless we try it ourselves. Maybe we should do that. You and I, someday.

Kana(F): Huh? But that would mean we'd never be parted from each other again... Are you sure that's what you'd want?

Ignatius: Why not? Isn't that already the case? You're like family to me, Kana. How would you feel about it?

Kana(F): Are you kidding me?! That sounds awesome! I've always wanted a best buddy like you, Ignatius! You're the greatest!

Ignatius: Haha. Then it's settled. Someday, we'll find this mountain and climb it. Together.

Kana(F): Perfect! That's a promise, right? You can't go back on it!

Ignatius: Haha. Yes. It's a promise.
