Kana(F): *sniffle* Where are they all the time? They're always busy... *sniff, sniffle* Papa...Mama...
Forrest: What's wrong, Kana?
Kana(F): Nothing. I'm all right. Don't worry.
Forrest: All right, if you say so. I'll be on my way then, Kana.
(Forrest leaves)
Kana(F): No, wait, Forrest!
Forrest: Yes?
Kana(F): Don't tell anyone you saw me crying. Please, Forrest. Promise me.
Forrest: Very well. It'll be our secret.
Kana(F): Th-thanks...
Forrest: I understand though.
Kana(F): What?
Forrest: I used to cry now and then too, growing up in the Deeprealms. I'd hide away somewhere no one could find me and cry my eyes out.
Kana(F): You'd hide to cry?
Forrest: I did. Sometimes that's what a good cry requires. But other times it's important to talk to a friend. So seek me out anytime you need to talk out your tears, all right?
Kana(F): I...I will. Thanks, Forrest.

Kana(F): *sniffle* Why did I come here? They never have any time for me! Papa...Mama... *sniff, sniffle*
Forrest: Hello, Kana. I don't mean to intrude. But I need some help.
Kana(F): Fr-from me?
Forrest: I think you're the only one I know who can help me with this! I'm embroidering a tapestry. My hands are too big to do the most delicate work.
Kana(F): But I don't know a thing about sewing.
Forrest: I'll teach you a basic stitch. You'll be perfect at it.
Kana(F): You really think so?
Forrest: No doubt. You'll be the best for this. Ready to learn the stitch?
Kana(F): Y-yes, I think so.
Kana(F): How do these stitches look, Forrest?
Forrest: Beautiful work!
Kana(F): You really think so?
Forrest: I do. I fear you'll be a better embroiderer than even me before long. I bow to your excellence, Kana.
Kana(F): Now you're just being silly.
Forrest: I'm serious! Few people can sew this well on their first day. Even fewer are able to transform their tears into beauty as you just did.
Kana(F): Huh?
Forrest: Sorrow is the wellspring of art, Kana. Let me share a secret with you. When I was young, I missed my parents terribly. I cried and cried. For years, it seemed. One day I found a needle and thread. I began sewing. Every tear, a stitch. Soon I had a beautifully sewn line. I had also stopped crying. Was it a distraction? Perhaps. But I like to think I turned my tears into stitches. And so, sewing became my constant companion.
Kana(F): So that's why you really asked me to sew a little... Thanks for letting me help, Forrest. That cheered me up.
Forrest: Oh, you think you're done? We have a LOT more embroidery to do.
Kana(F): R-really? All right, Forrest!

Kana(F): Forrest, Forrest!
Forrest: Hello, Kana. Ready to help me with more embroidery?
Kana(F): Yes! I can't wait to get started.
Forrest: I'll teach you a new technique today. Ready?
Kana(F): Let's get sewing!
Kana(F): The chain stitch isn't nearly as hard as I thought.
Forrest: Well, it's exactly as hard as it looks. You're just a natural, Kana.
Kana(F): You're a good teacher.
Forrest: I'm lucky to have such a good student. You'll be inventing your own stitches soon.
Kana(F): Uh, Forrest? Can I say something?
Forrest: Anything, Kana.
Kana(F): I think I'm done crying over Mama and Papa having so little time for me.
Forrest: There's nothing wrong with a good weep now and then. But if you're glad to be done crying, then I'm glad too.
Kana(F): I'm not so lonely anymore, I mean, now that you've taken me under your wing. I never knew I could embroider.
Forrest: I'm happy to have someone to work with me on these projects. Maybe we'll start sewing a bigger project soon. Wouldn't that be fun?
Kana(F): Yes, yes, yes!
Forrest: Ha! Then I will take that as a yes.
Kana(F): You've been so nice to me, Forrest.
Forrest: Nonsense. I needed a sewing partner. I'm delighted to have found one.
Kana(F): Hee hee! OK, Forrest.
Forrest: I bet you'll be teaching me stitches soon enough, good friend.
Kana(F): Maybe I will!

Kana(F): *sniff, sniffle* Mama...Papa...
Forrest: Having a good cry, Kana?
Kana(F): I still need to...sometimes. But do you want to start on a new embroidery project?
Forrest: I think so. But I don't want to rush a good weeping session.
Kana(F): I...I'm done.
Forrest: Please don't stop for my sake. Let it all out, I say. It seemed that I went through a few lakes of tears when I was young. Growing up in the Deeprealms felt so awfully isolating at times.
Kana(F): B-but you told me that you turned all your tears into stitches.
Forrest: It didn't happen overnight. I sewed large tapestries in my Deeprealm.
Kana(F): So how do you sew now, if all your tears are gone?
Forrest: Who said they're gone? I need them now more than ever!
Kana(F): What?
Forrest: My tears belong to me. They're a source of inspiration. I plan to sew beautiful things for the rest of my life.
Kana(F): Will I?
Forrest: I'd say cry when you need to and sew when you want to. You'll be so proud of yourself in time. I know I am.
Kana(F): Th-then you won't be embarrassed if I cry right now?
Forrest: Will you mind if I sew while you do?
Kana(F): Go...go right ahead. *sniffle, sniff* W-W-WAAAH!
Forrest: Let it all out, Kana...
Kana(F): You were right, Forrest. I feel much better now.
Forrest: Good. And I've just started a new tapestry.
Kana(F): Really? Let me see! What's it going to be when it's done?
Forrest: You tell me.
Kana(F): Huh?
Forrest: These stitches are just a few ideas for a border. I need your help. I want to make the most majestic tapestry ever. It could take years to finish! I don't know what images to sew into the tapestry. You choose!
Kana(F): I...I don't think I know how... I mean, of course I will. I'll come up with some ideas. With you as my friend, I think we'll make something really beautiful.
Forrest: I think we already have, Kana. Friendship forever?
Kana(F): Forever, Forrest.
