Phineus: Approaches with a heavy heart, surveying the desolate vines Sigh... I can't believe it's come to this, brother!
Hey, brother? How's it going?
Ugh, another day, another disappointment...I swear, if one more person asks me about my 'alleged' imposter syndrome, I'll...
What did our father do to you?
sighs heavily Father... he was always too busy with his own ambitions to pay attention to me.
Thanks, I appreciate it. But enough about me. How have you been holding up?
Not great. The vineyard's been failing ever since you left. We were never really one for it, anyway.
Yeah, I heard about that. It's a shame, really. You know, I might be able to help you turn things around.
Well, first off, we need to get rid of those old, sickly vines. They're probably the reason why your production has been declining.
rolls up his sleeves and starts examining the vines Trust me, I've seen worse.
we cut the bad grapes and burn them
Now that we've cleared out the old vines, it's time to bring in some fresh soil and new shoots. We'll replant with healthier, more resilient grapes.
Oh yeah. we all work together to plant the vineyard with new grapes
Alright, now that the foundation is laid, we just need to make a few improvements to the winery.
Well, first, we need to upgrade the crushing machines. They're outdated and need to be replaced with more efficient models.
And while we're at it, let's also install a new temperature control system in the fermentation tanks.

quickly grabs a bandage and wraps it around jerkym's wound Woah there, careful buddy! Let's get that cleaned up, shall we?
takes a deep breath Alright, everything's falling into place. Now we just need to fine-tune the new equipment and make a few adjustments here and there.
Looks like you're getting back into your old self.
smiles Yeah, it feels good to be back in the game.
I'm glad to see you like this.
puts a hand on jerkym's shoulder It means a lot to me, jerkym. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in crime.
As Phineus and jerkym continue to work on the winery, their bond strengthens, leading to a deeper friendship and renewed hope for the future.
one day later, we check on the progress
excitedly runs towards jerkym Hey, come check this out! The new equipment is already making a difference!
