(An NPC is now speaking with Theo and Lance)

NPC: WOW! So these are the playables!

Lance: Uh... can we help you?

NPC: Cool, look how non-generic your appearance is! I bet you have lots of hit points, right? And key items? Can I see your key items?

Theo: Get away from me.

Lance: Look, we need to leave-

NPC: ...W-Wait! Before you go, can I at LEAST say the line I've been programmed to recite? I've waited my whole NPC life to encounter you and say my line!

Lance: ...Fine! GEEZ!

NPC: YESSS! ...Okay, get ready for this! *AHEM* The Empire is setting up roadblocks along the southern passage! My buddy and I are stuck here waiting--our boss sure isn't gonna be happy!

Lance: Wow. That was some deep NPC stuff.

(The NPC swipes a tear away)

NPC: I can die happy now.
