WHE_NaCline_A_01=

[THEO normal left]
I have been working for two months, {n}{0.4}and now I deserve a vacation.

[GRANNY right normal]
Sure, {0.4} and you can take a pair of {~}eyes{/~}{n}along with you this time.

[THEO thinking left]
I know, {0.4}a kind of {~}multi-sensory glasses{/~}!
When you put it on, {0.4}another person wearing an identical set of glasses can see the world you see.
Just like you are wearing that person's {~}eyes{/~}.

[GRANNY right mock]
Not only that, {0.4}it can even collect your brain waves.
Let that person experience the touch and taste {n}that you feel.

[GRANNY right normal]
As you know.
Nowadays, with millions of people working in space, {0.4}{n}it is unrealistic to return to the earth for vacation frequently.
So these kinds of glasses came into being, {0.4}{n}and can also be regarded as a public welfare activity.
Would you like to?

[THEO normal left]
{0.3} No problem.



WHE_NaCline_A_02=

[GRANNY right creepA]
She is the owner of the eyes.

[MADELINE normal left]
Hello! {0.4}Thank you for being willing to travel {n}with my eyes.

[MADELINE sadder left]
I'm sorry for the inconvenience...

[THEO normal right]
Not at all. {0.4}I'm happy to have some company.

[THEO excited right]
Where do you want to go?

[MADELINE surprised left]
Really? {0.4}You haven't decided where you are going?

[THEO normal right]
Yes, {0.4}it's up to you.

[MADELINE sadder left]
...

[MADELINE distracted left]
This is not easy for me. {0.4}{n}It's as difficult as in Helen Keller's "Three Days {n}to See"...

[THEO thinking right]
We don't have three days; {0.4}we only have two.

[THEO normal right]
When it comes to time, {0.4}modern-day folks {n}are all dirt-poor.

[THEO right excited]
But luckier than that person in the 20th century,
Your eyes and I can reach any place on the earth within three hours.

[MADELINE togetherZoom left]
Then let's go to the last place I visited {~}before leaving{/~}!



WHE_NaCline_A_03=

[THEO thinking left]
How strange.

[THEO serious left]
Any transmission from space reaches its destination with some degree of delay.
Yet her answers seemed to arrive without any perceptible delay.
This meant that she had to be in low Earth orbit.
With no need to ask someone else to take her eyes {n}on vacation.
Returning to the surface from there would be {n}cheap and quick.
Additionally, {0.4}as an astro-engineer specializing in personal equipment.
I think her spacesuit is very strange.
It lacked any visible anti-radiation systems, {0.4}{n}and her suit's heat insulation and cooling system looked incredibly advanced.

[THEO wtf left]
What station is she on?

[GRANNY right creepA]
Don't ask.

{0.8}Wow, {0.4}you really remember them.

[MADELINE normal left]

[THEO serious left]
I really wouldn't know.
The greyness of my life has dulled it all.

[MADELINE normal left]
How could you say that? 
This world has so many experiences and feelings {n}to offer!
Trying to describe them all would be like {n}trying to count the drops of rain in a thunderstorm.
Look at those clouds on the horizon, {0.4}all silvery-white.
Right now, {0.4}they look solid to me, {0.4}{n}like towering mountains of gleaming jade.
The meadow below, on the other hand, {0.4}looks wispy.
As if all the grass flew away from the earth and became a green sea of clouds.
Look! Look at the clouds floating past the sun!

WHE_NaCline_C_02=

[MADELINE normal left]
Let's watch the sunset!

[MADELINE peaceful left]
Watching the evening sky gradually lose its glow, {0.4}{n}as night falls slowly-
It's like listening to the most beautiful symphony {n}in the universe.

[THEO serious left]

Look!

[MADELINE normal left]
The setting sun first ignited the distant clouds, {0.4}{n}and at the same time, the entire sky also burst {n}into flames.
Then the orange-red afterglow spread over the earth, {0.4}{n}everything was submerged in the final solemnity {n}and grandeur.
The mountains left only black silhouettes, {0.4}{n}as if bidding farewell to the setting sun.
Then, {0.4}the symphony begins to turn soft.
The afterglow gradually dimmed, {0.4}{n}and a deep blue dominated the sky.
Finally, {0.4}the starry sky began to emerge, {0.4}{n}and played a long coda...
So beautiful, {0.4}isn't it?



WHE_NaCline_C_04=

[THEO normal left]
You truly cherish these {~}everyday things{/~}.

[MADELINE normal left]
Why don't you? {0.4}That's what it means to truly {~}be alive{/~}.

[THEO serious left]  
I, {0.4}and most of the others, {0.4}couldn't possibly do this.
It's too easy to get what you want these days.
I'm not just talking about material things.
You can surround yourself with blue skies {n}and crystal, clear waters just like that. 
If you want the peace and tranquility {n}of the countryside or a remote island, {0.4}{n}you barely even need to snap your fingers.
Even love. 
Think how elusive that was for previous generations {n}and how desperately they chased it,
And now it can be experienced through virtual reality or the Internet, {0.4}at least for a few moments at a time.
People don't cherish anything anymore.
They see a platter of fruit an arm's length away, {0.4}{n}only to take a bite out of each piece before {n}throwing the rest away.

[MADELINE sadder left]
{0.4}But {~}not everyone{/~} has such fruits within reach.

You may have already guessed the truth. {n}{0.4}She's the navigator of the {~}Sunset 6{/~}.

Sunset 6? {0.8}{*}No...{/*}



WHE_NaCline_F_05=

[]
Two years before



WHE_NaCline_F_06=

[OSHIRO left normal]
I'm in the interview area about 1.5 kilometers from the {~}Sunset 6{/~} launch pad.
Behind us, {0.4}we can see that the Sunset 6 stratum navigation spacecraft is already in position.
At present, {0.4}there are still dozens of workers on the {n}tower frame working by various procedures.
They will evacuate after completing all the tasks.
It's almost two hours before the countdown. 
The checks of all the functions of the spaceship have been completed.
The final status confirmation is underway. 
So far, everything is normal.
{~}Sunset 6{/~} is the sixth subterranean navigation spacecraft of the Sunset project.
Similar to the Sunset 5, {0.4}{~}Sunset 6{/~} will travel beneath the planet's surface, {0.4}3,000 kilometers below sea level.
This depth is the position of Earth's mantle...


WHE_NaCline_F_07=

[MADELINE distracted left]
It's time to set off.



WHE_NaCline_F_08=

[MADELINE determined left]
Relax. {0.4}I'm ready long ago.



WHE_NaCline_F_09=

[GRANNY right normal]
You probably already know what happened later.
Sunset 6 was not originally intended to enter {n}Earth's core.
Once entering the core.
The density of the surrounding matter would {n}abruptly increase to levels that exceeded {n}Sunset 6's design specifications for navigation.
However, {0.4}before reaching the predetermined depth, {0.4}{n}at a depth of 2,500 kilometers underground.
The ship chanced upon a fissure in Earth's mantle, {n}{0.4}which led directly to its core.
The fissure was filled with a high-pressure liquid {n}alloy of iron and nickel from Earth's core.
The ship immediately took emergency measures to change course.
The ship's neutron-laced hull was strong enough {n}to withstand the massive pressure that suddenly {n}increased to 1,600 tons per cubic centimeter.
Unfortunately, {0.4}when it attempted to change direction, {n}the section linking the fusion engine to the main cabin fractured,
snapped off by the density and pressure of {n}liquid iron-nickel alloy that far exceeded {n}the ship's operating parameters. 
The ship was comprised of three parts: {0.4}{n}a fusion engine at the bow, {0.4}{n}a central cabin, {0.4}and a rear-mounted drive engine.
Without the fusion engine firing a super-heated jet that cut through the material in front of the ship。
The drive engine could barely push the Sunset 6 {n}an inch through the planet's inner layers.
The density of Earth's core is startling, {n}but the neutron material that makes up the ship was even denser.
As the buoyancy created by the liquid iron-nickel alloy did not exceed the ship's weight,
Sunset 6 sank towards Earth's core.
In the year that followed, the crew of the Sunset 6 persisted in their work.
They maintained a connection with the control center on the surface through the neutrino communications system,
sending streams of valuable data gleaned from the core to the surface.
However, the immense psychological pressure eventually crushed the terranauts.
They were wrapped in matter thousands of {n}kilometers thick.
There is no space and no other life.
They were pummeled by temperatures over 5,000 degrees Celsius and surrounded by pressures that could crush carbon into diamonds within seconds.
The ship was completely trapped in a giant furnace of molten metal.
And this furnace is so enclosed that only ghostly neutrinos can pass through!
One day, {0.4}the ship's geological engineer jumped out of sleep and {*}open the heat-insulation door protecting his cabin!{/*}
Even though this was the first of four such doors, {0.4}the wave of incandescent heat that washed in instantly burnt him to charcoal.
The commander rushed to seal the open door, {0.4}successfully prevented the ship's imminent destruction.
But he suffered severe burns in the process and died after finishing the last page of the voyage log.
From then on, {0.4}she was the only one left {n}on the Sunset 6.
By now, {0.4}the interior of the ship was entirely weightless.
The ship had sunk to a depth of 6,800 kilometers - {n}the planet's deepest point.
She became the first person to reach Earth's core.
The neutrino glasses allowed her a small measure of sensory contact with the planet's surface.
However, this lifeline was doomed to be short-lived, {n}as the craft's neutrino communications system was {n}nearly out of power.
By now, the power levels were already too low to support the super-high-speed data relay that these sensory glasses relied on.
The system had lost contact three months ago, {n}after that vacation.
From then on, the Sunset 6 could only maintain audio and data links with the surface.
But late one night, this connection had also closed.
Sunset 6's neutron shell was strong enough to resist the core's massive pressure.
And the craft's cyclical life support systems were {n}fully capable of an additional fifty to eighty years {n}of operation.
She...{0.8} might have to spend the rest of her life in this underground world of less than 10 square meters.



WHE_NaCline_F_10=

[GRANNY right creepA]
Would you like to listen to her last recording?



WHE_NaCline_F_11=

[MADELINE normal left]
I have received your final advice.
I'll do all I can to follow the entire research plan {n}in the days to come.
Someday, maybe generations from now, {n}another ship might find the Sunset 6 and dock with it.
If someone does enter here, I can only hope that {n}the data I leave behind will be of use.
Please rest assured; 
I have made a life for myself down here and {n}adapted to these surroundings.
I don't feel constrained or closed in anymore.
The entire world surrounds me.

[MADELINE peaceful left]
When I close my eyes, I see the great plains up there on the surface.

[MADELINE normal left]
I can even see every one of the flowers that I named.
