(Upon starting the commission)

Burnice: Piper, get yourself together!

Piper: I'm... totally together...

(After the short cutscene showing Thanatos - Energized)

Burnice: What was that just now?

Piper: Let's catch up with 'em

(Enter combat with Thanatos - Energized)

Burnice: Look, Piper. It's that strange enemy again.

Piper: Hmm... We can't let our guard down~

(After Thanatos - Energized disappears)

Burnice: Huh? Where'd they go?

(When the platform starts moving)

Burnice: We meet again, ya big lump! Miss me?

Piper: Wait... Don't you think this all feels strangely familiar?

Burnice: Huh? Does it?

(Leaving the platform)

Burnice: Looks like there's someone up ahead...^{[Note 1]}

Piper: Wouldn't be surprised if it was...

 Deja Vu

Story Description: While exploring the Hollow with Burnice and Piper, you unexpectedly rescued an old man. To thank you, he handed over a lottery ticket... again?

---

Grandpa Guy: *coughing* Thank you, kindhearted youngsters... and this cutie Bangboo of course!

...Glad you're okay!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍I'm glad you're okay! Anyone would've done the same.I'm glad you're okay! Anyone would've done the same.Text for Wise / Don't mention it... I'm glad you're okay!Don't mention it... I'm glad you're okay!Text for Belle‍)

(Cutie... Bangboo...?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Cutie Bangboo... again?

Piper: Wait, is it just me, or does it seem like this old man is about to pull out a lottery ticket to show his gratitude...

Grandpa Guy: You... How did you know?! I haven't taken out the lucky lottery ticket I use as my lucky charm yet!

Piper: I knew it!

Grandpa Guy: Is this one of those pranks that you kids are into these days? Or... was I right all along about the impending doom of the world... and the New Eridu government monitoring everyone?

Burnice: Wow! Fate's a wonderful thing! Calm down first. At the very least, I can guarantee that I, Burnice, am not a government agent! I can't vouch for the two next to me though!

Piper: Hey, you've known us for ages... Vouch for us!

Grandpa Guy: Fine, since you look like my first love when she was young, I'll take your word for it. Here, take this lottery ticket! It'll bring you good luck!

Burnice: Thanks! Is this a miracle lottery ticket that can win three million?

Grandpa Guy: A miracle? Miracles are worth so much more than just three million! Since I started carrying this lottery ticket, I've never had a bad day. Such an incredible streak of luck is worth more than thirty million!

Burnice: Amazing! Is thirty million enough to transform a volcano into a Nitro-Fuel fountain?

Piper: Thirty mil?! I don't need that much. Ten million is more than enough to solve all of Steeltusk's problems...

You're getting carried away too, Piper!

Weren't you trapped by Ethereals just now...?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍If I recall correctly, you were just in a pile of Ethereals...

Burnice: But I really can sense a lucky energy from this lottery ticket! It feels warm and sticky...

I think that's his sweaty hand...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍That's probably the old man's hand sweat... Come to your senses, Burnice.That's probably the old man's hand sweat...

Piper: Proxy, stop overthinking things! This thirty million could ease all the hardships of an adult's weary life... Now's the time to celebrate! If I were in the car, I'd be honking like mad!

Your pupils have become Denny signs...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Oh no! Piper's pupils have become Denny signs. I've only ever seen that happen to one person before...Oh no! Piper's pupils have become Denny signs.

Snap out of it, Piper...

Extremely excited, the two escort the old man out of the Hollow through the nearest exit.

Burnice: Hehe... I'm going to be the goddess of a volcanic lake filled with Nitro-Fuel... "Did you drop this bottle of vintage drink or that glass of duelist's special?"

Piper: Steeltusk... wait for me! I'll never give up on you. I'll make you the best truck in the history of the Outer Ring...

Burnice: Don't just stand there, Proxy! The live broadcast of the lottery is over, but we can still check the winning numbers in a newspaper!

Piper: Burnice and I will look for a newspaper. We'll wait for you to come and witness this miracle moment!
