The next day…
Vira
Well, if it isn’t my favourite little painter! Up bright and early for once, I see.
Vira
Ugh, you’re covered in dirt and tears! …Not that that’s unusual, haha.
Vira
…But seriously, what’s eating you?
Ozzy
Vira…
Ozzy
Oh, Vira, what am I going to do? I didn’t mean—I didn’t—
Vira
Quit your blubbering! Just calm down and tell me what happened.
Ozzy
It’s Styx, he—he’s—!
Vira
I see. He left you, didn’t he?
Vira
Just like everyone else.
Ozzy
He wouldn’t… He…
Vira
I’m not surprised. Of course he’d leave. Everyone does, because nobody loves Neopets like us.
Ozzy
Everyone…?
Vira
Nobody likes you when you’re grey and gloomy.
Vira
Nobody loves you when you’re ugly and twisted.
Vira
*Sigh*... Whatever. Not that it’ll do us much good, but if you’re really that worried, we might as well try to find him.
Vira
C’mon. Let’s go.
