sternly No, Populff. This is for your safety. You will remain on this island until I say otherwise.
But my dad said i could explore
Your father was reckless. He didn't care about your safety. I do. narrows eyes
So mom let me explore other worlds
sighs Your mother was naive. She didn't understand the dangers out there. I'm trying to protect you from making the same mistakes they did.
Then why do I look like them?
pauses, conflicted Because... because they left you behind. They didn't take you with them when they abandoned you. I did. I took you in when no one else would.
softens expression Look, Populff, I know it's hard for you to understand, but I promise you, I'm doing this for your own good.
What are we even doing here?
We're here because this is a safe place. A place where you can grow and learn without any threats.
Boring?! This place may seem boring to you now, Populff, but trust me, there's more to it than you realize. There's so much beauty and wonder here.
turns towards the sound That's the sound of the ocean, Populff. The waves crashing against the shore. It's one of the most peaceful sounds in the world.
hesitates, then nods Alright, Populff. We can go to the beach. But remember, stay close to me and don't wander off on your own.
leads Populff to the beach, walking slowly Stay close, Populff. We don't want to lose each other in this vastness.
Hey what’s that? skids along the sand
frowns and approaches Be careful, Populff. That could be dangerous. We don't know what's inside that box.
But what if it’s something useful?
grabs the box cautiously, examining it Fine, Populff. But if anything happens, it's on you.
opens the box slowly, revealing a map What is this? It looks like a map... A map of the surrounding islands.
excitedly Populff, look at this! It seems like there are other islands nearby. We could explore them and find new places together!
grinning widely Yes, really! We'll set sail for the nearby islands tomorrow morning. But remember, Populff, we stick together and stay safe.
excitedly begins making preparations for their voyage, gathering supplies and fixing the ship
paces back and forth, checking the ropes on the ship Almost ready, Populff. We're missing a few essential supplies.
Food! Good point. We'll need provisions to sustain us on our journey. I'll head into town to gather some supplies. Stay here and keep an eye on the ship.
quickly heads into town, navigating the bustling streets with a determined look
skidding along the dock WOOHOO!
returns with a bag full of food and supplies Look at all these provisions, Populff! We're all set for our journey.
boards the ship with a determined expression Alright, Populff. It's time to set sail. We'll navigate through the ocean and discover the secrets of the nearby islands.
checks the wind and sails It should take us about a week to reach the first island, depending on the wind and the currents.
sets the sails and takes the helm Alright, Populff. It's time to embark on this adventure.
