Avatar: Hello, Ignatius. What are you looking at?
Ignatius: Hmm? Avatar? Sorry. I was just lost in thought.
Avatar: Oh. Well, sorry for interrupting you. Have a good day!
(Avatar leaves)
Ignatius: Wait.
Avatar: Hmm? What's wrong?
Ignatius: Look at that wall.
Avatar: What about it?
Ignatius: Don't you think that stain looks a bit like a creepy face?
Avatar: I suppose so, now that you mention it. It's just a water stain, though.
Ignatius: I'm sure you're right. A water stain. Of course. Pardon me.
Avatar: Pardon you for what?
Ignatius: I'm sure it's nothing...but would you mind terribly taking a closer look?
Avatar: At the wall? Why me? Can't you do it yourself?
Ignatius: I have, uh, some other things to attend to.
Avatar: Ignatius. Are you scared of that stain?
Ignatius: Don't be foolish! I'd never be scared of a mere stain. THAT, on the other hand, might be a demon trapped in the physical world. So, yeah, I'm a little bit scared of it.
Avatar: Riiiight. Well, I have some things to do, so I'll see you later, Ignatius.
(Avatar leaves)
Ignatius: *whimper*

Ignatius: Hey, Avatar. Can I ask you a question? Is there anything that frightens you?
Avatar: Yes, of course. I'm frightened every time I go into battle. What about you, Ignatius? Please tell me you weren't REALLY scared of that wall.
Ignatius: Well... There are a few things that make me pretty uncomfortable.
Avatar: Supernatural things?
Ignatius: I don't believe in supernatural things. But, unfortunately, that hasn't stopped me from fearing them.
Avatar: I see. It's a bit unexpected coming from you.
Ignatius: Are you laughing at me?
Avatar: No, of course not. Fear is normal. Healthy, even. Fear can keep you alive in battle.
Ignatius: Well, I wish my fears were more rational. How do you face your fears, Avatar?
Avatar: Anytime I have to do something that frightens me... I think about the people who matter most in this world. When I remember what I'm fighting for, I feel a little braver.
Ignatius: Yes, that sounds great for real, rational fears. I'm not sure whether it'll work on ghosts and wiggly bugs, though.
Avatar: We'll never know unless we try it out. C'mon!
Ignatius: I don't like the sound of this. What do you have in mind?
Avatar: There are some ruins not far from here that are supposed to be haunted. Every night, the local villagers claim they can hear a voice—a woman sobbing. I'm sure it's just the wind, but why don't we go investigate?
Ignatius: Why don't we leave well enough alone? That sounds terrifying!
Avatar: But aren't you curious? Whoooo... WHOOOO! That's what it probably sounds like!
Ignatius: Please, Avatar, I can't take it!

Avatar: Hello, Ignatius. Spending a little time staring down that demonic wall stain?
Ignatius: Yep.
Avatar: Does that mean you've conquered your fear of the supernatural?
Ignatius: I wouldn't say conquered, no. But I am working on it. I do know that this is just a stain. I've watched it long enough to be certain.
Avatar: That's great! Facing your fears isn't easy. How are you doing with ghosts and bugs?
Ignatius: I still don't like them very much. But, like I said, I'm working on it. There is something else that's been bothering me.
Avatar: Oh?
Ignatius: I think I can deal with my irrational fears. But you made me realize something. You spoke about how you think of your friends and family before battles... You said this gives you strength. I've found it terrifies me more than anything else!
Avatar: Oh, Ignatius...I didn't mean for my speech to have that effect.
Ignatius: It's not your fault. But I'm more scared than ever of losing a friend. Just think about it!
Avatar: I feel the same way, Ignatius. But this war isn't over. We don't know what will happen to any of us.
Ignatius: I know. And in a strange way, I feel stronger than I did before. I feel like I have the courage to protect the people who are important to me. Even if I have to sacrifice myself.
Avatar: Let's hope it never comes to that. But I'm glad to hear about your resolve. I think you're plenty brave, Ignatius.
Ignatius: Well, thank you, Avatar. Your friendship is what has made me stronger.

Ignatius: Avatar...I need to speak with you.
Avatar: Ignatius? What is it?
Ignatius: *sigh*
Avatar: What's wrong? You've gone as white as a ghost. Er, perhaps I could have phrased that better.
Ignatius: Don't worry. This has nothing to do with ghosts.
Avatar: What, then?
Ignatius: I'm just...nervous.
Avatar: Ignatius, you have nothing to be nervous about. It's just me! Go on. What's on your mind?
Ignatius: Very well. Look at this.
Avatar: Um...your fist is completely clenched. I can't see what you're holding.
Ignatius: I see. Well, let me just open my fingers... HRRRRGH!
Avatar: Ignatius! Your hand is shaking! What are you holding? It's not...some strange bug, is it?
Ignatius: A bug? Where? Get it off! Get it off!
Avatar: Argh! Just open your hand already!
Ignatius: OK, here goes nothing...
Avatar: Oh! It's a ring. It's beautiful.
Ignatius: Avatar...will you marry me?
Avatar: Oh!
Ignatius: I promise to protect you until the end of my days. So, um, what do you say?
Avatar: Ignatius...
Ignatius: Um, could I get an answer at some point here? I think I'm close to passing out...
Avatar: You promise to protect me?
Ignatius: Yes, I promise.
Avatar: What if a ghost attacks me? Will you protect me then?
Ignatius: You're...you're joking, right? Because ghosts don't exist. But if they did, and one was attacking you... that ghost would not be long for this world. Er, I mean... You know what I mean.
Avatar: I do, Ignatius. I do.
Ignatius: Wait, you mean you know what I mean? Or you'll marry me?
Avatar: Both, of course!
(Confession Scene)
Ignatius: I used to be afraid of commitment. And then I met you.
