Chapter Text
“My! This is such a nice island! And all of the people here are so kind! I hope I can be friends with…”
~ Option 1: Someone who’s just like me (Angie Yonaga) ~
(Setting: The cottages, with a clay sculpture on Angie’s porch)
Angie: Go on, my pretty…let Atua mold you in His image!
Bronwyn: Oh? Who is Atua?
Angie: Atua is my God! He watches over me and my island!
Bronwyn: My! I’ve never heard of Him!
Angie: Never heard of Atua?! Oh, no no no, that will never do!
(Set change: Blue sky)
Angie: Close your eyes and open your heart. Let yourself be empty and weightless. Then you shall feel the warmth of Atua.
Angie: Ommmmmmmm…
Bronwyn: Ommmmmmmm…
(Setting: The sun shines brighter)
Angie: Atua is in my heart. He is wise, and He is loving. There is no higher power but Atua.
Bronwyn: …I feel Him. Atua is embracing me as His child. He gives me His strength and intelligence.
(Setting: The sun disappears)
Angie: Atua is with you. You are Atua’s child.

~ Option 2: Someone with a talent like mine (Teruteru Hanamura) ~
(Setting: The kitchen in Hotel Mirai)
Bronwyn: Mm…something smells wonderful!
Teruteru: Oh, I believe that’s my famous meat on the bone!
Bronwyn: My goodness! I’ve never seen such a perfect piece of protein! Hm…pork, roasted over an open flame, with notes of pepper spice and a brothy glaze…
Teruteru: You can smell all that?
Bronwyn: I wouldn’t be the Ultimate Chef if I weren’t a food wizard.
Teruteru: Hey! I’m the Ultimate Chef too! Three sparkling Michelin stars under my belt, yes sir! How many do you have?
Bronwyn: My cafe has been rated four stars!
(CG: The Wholefish Cafe)
Bronwyn: I opened up my little cafe right after I got married. My friends all met there, my children were raised there…even if it will never be a fancy, upscale restaurant, it’s home to me, and that’s all I want.
(CG: Back to Hotel Mirai)
Bronwyn: I’ve never wanted that much, really. I’m just a humble country girl, and that’s all I need to be.
Teruteru: Your children…do they help you cook?
Bronwyn: Not often. They’re only little, you know. But they’re learning!
Teruteru (switching to the Cajun accent): Momma’s been teachin’ me everything I know since I was real small…I’ve always said if dere’s a better chef in da world den me, it’s Momma!
Bronwyn, thinking: His accent changed…?
Teruteru: You jus’ sit right dere, I’mma show you all dis Ultimate Cook can do!
Bronwyn, thinking: So much energy in this one! Now I see where he got those three stars from…

~ Option 3: Someone entirely new (Mondo Owada) ~
(Setting: Military base)
Bronwyn, thinking: Are these weapons? What is all this dangerous stuff doing on this island? I thought this was supposed to be the Ultimate Paradise…
Enter Mondo: Hey.
Bronwyn: ?!...
Mondo: This place really ain’t meant for housewives.
Bronwyn: I-I’m sorry…
Mondo: Get what you need and get outta here.
Bronwyn: I…who are you, again?
Mondo: Mondo Owada. Ultimate Biker Gang Leader.
Bronwyn: Of course…
Mondo: You leavin’ or what?
Bronwyn: No. I’m going to stay. I can go wherever I like.
Mondo: Really.
Bronwyn: Yes. And I don’t like your attitude.
Mondo: I don’t care.
Bronwyn: I do, and I’m going to fix it.
Mondo: Or what?
Bronwyn: I could drown you.
Mondo: What?!
Bronwyn: Kidding, of course. But I’ll be watching you.
Exit Mondo: …I’m going back to the park now.
Bronwyn, thinking: I didn’t know I had that kind of bravery in me…it felt nice.
