Patch

I see... You're the one who saved me...

Well, that means I still survived, so I won the battle between myself and this planet after all.

I did get a little help from you, but it's not like that matters in a survival challenge where anything goes.

There's an ongoing battle happening between you and this planet.

A long-haul fight can make it hard to stay focused. Let's simplify and settle things once and for all.

Hmm...how about this? You win if you defeat more than 100 creatures indigenous to this planet.

What's the meaning of such a challenge?
There is no meaning. Some challenges only have significance if they're meaningless.

That's interesting. Do you want to challenge me to figure out which of us is real?

Never mind. Such a challenge would be a farce. It doesn't matter if you're real or not.

There's a glimmer deep in your eyes that tells me you've made it through countless difficulties.

Isn't there a saying about "all bark and no action," or something? You seem like the quiet type that actually gets things done.

You won this challenge.

The honor and compensation are small, but don't you feel accomplished?

Maybe I should challenge you to a real battle someday.

Once you make a decision, you don't hesitate. I appreciate your spirit and determination.

That's the reward for your determination.
You definitely earned it.

Whoops, the winner was already declared.
I can't believe I didn't see that coming.

I wish I could see the end of the battle between you and this planet with my own eyes.

It's obvious that you possess great skill and are remarkably efficient!

It's not a lot, but please accept those.
I suppose you could call it a small reward.

Why did I come to this planet? Huh, why would you ask?

Even if I told you my story, it's not like it matters. It's no more useful than dust floating around in space.

You wouldn't know if I was telling the truth anyhow. It would just be idle chatter meant to reassure you for a moment.

The battle between you and this planet...
I intend to bear witness until the end.

If you put too much on your plate without knowing your limits, you will end up having a meltdown.

Things will start slipping through your fingers, and you'll fall apart.

Let life take its course. What's meant to happen will happen, so why not just do the things you want to do?

What have I been doing up till now? Past or future—makes no difference...

The tingling sensation in my brain...the meaningless, feverish excitement of the challenges...

These are the things that make me feel like I'm alive.

Show no mercy in challenges. I believe it's disrespectful of others to go easy on them because you assume they can't win.

You think pundits are the type of folks who stay inside the lines and live boring, stable lives?

Not at all! They're the gamblers who bet their lives on the path they've chosen.
They're believers in their own dreams.

Are you asking me for advice? I hope you don't expect it to be at all helpful.

Why am I always looking for challenges?
That's easy! It's all about thirst.

An empty-hearted person like me has a thirst they're looking to quench. One that can only be satisfied by a true challenge.

That moment we sacrifice our safety and put our lives on the line. That's what it takes to quench the thirst, for a time...

Eat or be eaten. That's the challenge of the natural world.

A promising youth... The world you live in is much different from mine.

You shine so bright it hurts my eyes.
I shouldn't even look directly at you.

Putting your life on the line means there's something that's more important to you than your life.

Do you have something like that too?

I don't have any more raw materials to give you. Not a thing.

I'm sorry to say my supply has been completely cleared out.

This place has the primitive and raw battles that come with the beginning of life.

Maybe that's why I came here. So I could feel that.

You're rather strange to come talk to me time and time again. What is it you want from me?

Have you ever looked into the eyes of
Captain Olimar? Ordinary folks might think he's just an average company man...

But those eyes show he's survived some life-or-death situations. There's a hint of darkness in them.

Whatever is going to happen in your life is meant to happen.

However, that also means that this moment is happening for a reason.

There's always the influence of someone's will involved. Whether it turns out to be yours or someone else's.

I put everything in your hands. After all, there aren't many challenges where you're this certain who will win.

I did everything I needed to do. In other words, I did my best and put myself in the hands of fate.

When we castaways go home, society will blame us for being irresponsible.

They'll talk about how we could have done things differently with the benefit of hindsight, even if it is a pointless exercise.

It's not so bad living lazily like this, staying in my comfort zone and having nothing to do now and then. And yet...

At the end of the day, my body and mind crave the exhilaration of the challenges that I know will set my soul on fire.

Why did I come to this planet? Huh, why would you ask?

This battle is between you and the planet.
Defeat the creatures you encounter, and you win. It's that simple.
