<p>At first, I thought you were dead, so I was just going to leave. Dead people are not unusual, you know.</p>
<p>But then, I noticed you were wearing strange-looking clothes. So, I checked on you. You were breathing.</p>

<p>I thought about turning you dead, but then remembered the story of a stranger who stirred up Harlem a while ago.</p>

<p>I thought about turning you dead, but then remembered the story of a Kashipa mage who stirred up Harlem a while ago.</p>

<p>That was you, wasn't it?</p>

<p>With a sour look on their face, [Nickname] nodded.</p>

{{NPCDialog|AriesKelly-NFace1|Aries Kelly|Text=
<p>I knew it! Good job, Kelly!</p>
<p>Ho ho. Because you causing a ruckus in Harlem, I escaped the Kashipas.</p>
<p>They wouldn't let me go see the star.</p>
<p>I didn't have to waste my energy on turning them into sheep, either, thanks to you.</p>
<p>You were inadvertently helpful to me.</p>
<p>By the way, what are you doing here? You didn't come to catch Kelly, did you?</p>
<p>You're looking for Alexandra. What's that? That's not a name I gave to my constellations.</p>
<u><i>(If the Adventurer is not a Male Mage)</i></u>
<dl><dd class="tab">
<p>Well, good luck finding it. Since you're awake, I'm going to go now.</p>
<p>How to get out of here? I don't know. You'll have to figure that out on your own. I'm going up there, to see the star.</p>
<p>What, do you want to follow me?</p>
<p>Well, let me think... Okay, I'll let you follow me just this once.</p>
</dd></dl>
<u><i>(If the Adventurer is a Male Mage)</i></u>
<dl><dd class="tab">
<p>Well... whatever. I'm going up there, to see the star.</p>
<p>You should follow me. Since you have the starlight in your eyes, I'll show it to you, too.</p>

<p>Why should I follow you?</p>

{{NPCDialog|AriesKelly-NFace1|Aries Kelly|Text=
<p>What do you mean? I'm a Kashipa leader; you're a grunt. Of course, you do as I say, no matter how strong you are.</p>

<p>Don't fall behind.</p>
<p>Oh, yes-the Kashipas might come to catch me.</p>
<p>You can take care of them, right? I'll be counting on you!</p>
<p>Okay, then let's go!</p>

{{NPCDialog|AriesKelly-NFace1|Aries Kelly|Text=
<p>By the way, what are you doing here?</p>
<p>Trying to stop disaster from happening? What? Hah hah hah.</p>
<p>Sorry, but that sounds so grandiose.</p>
<p>Me? I... I came to the star, of course.</p>
<p>Ever since I lost my parents and my brothers, I've only had the stars in the sky with me. They're the reason I'm living.</p>
<p>They wouldn't come down to see me, though. They just look down upon me from the night sky.</p>
<p>If I couldn't be with them, I at least wanted a name like theirs. So, I named myself Aries and named that star after me. That's how I became Aries Kelly.</p>

<u><b>(Upon entering Room D1)</b></u><br>
{{NPCDialog|AriesKelly-NFace1|Aries Kelly|Text=
<p>What does Aries mean?</p>
<p>Actually, I don't know. Teehee!</p>
<p>I was looking for food, when I found this word that looked pretty. It was Aries. I don't know what it means, though.</p>
<p>But ever since I read the word, I was able to use magic. Magic that lets me turn anything into sheep!</p>
<p>The Kashipas took notice of it and offered me food. So, I joined them.</p>
<p>But I don't need them or food anymore. The star came down from the sky to take me away to a happy world where I don't have to feel pain or hunger!</p>

<u><b>(Upon entering the Boss Room)</b></u><br>
<span class="action">(Kelly excitedly moves ahead and turns back toward the Adventurer. Unknown to the two of them, a figure awaits them in the darkness.)</span><br>

<p>The star is right up there. We'll see her soon!</p>

{{NPCDialog|AriesKelly-NFace1|Aries Kelly|Text=
<p>Come on, come on! Finally, I can see the star in person!</p>

<span class="action">(Suddenly, a blazing cross symbol appears above Kelly's head.)</span><br>
{{NPCDialog|Adventurer-NFace1|Adventurer|Text=
<p>Kelly!</p>
}}
<span class="action">(The symbol ignites briefly as a figure shrouded in dark smoke cuts through Kelly. Kelly's body releases a slash-like torrent of blood, and it collapses to the ground. The figure emerges from the dark smoke, revealing itself as a scythe-wielding woman.)</span><br>
{{NPCDialog| |Villainess Greta|Text=
<p>Ah... The taste of your blood... So... So lovely, Kelly...</p>

<span class="action">(The Adventurer runs toward Kelly, as she struggles to get back up.)</span><br>

{{NPCDialog| |Villainess Greta|Text=
<p>Isys said I should follow my heart's desire... Ah...</p>
<p>So... So, I hacked and slashed... wet my throat with their dripping blood...</p>

<p>I'm so glad that I could finally... taste your blood... like I've always wanted to.</p>

<p>Yes... blood... If I drink some more blood...!</p>

<p>No...</p>

<span class="action">(Struggling to get up, Kelly readies an incantation. And in an instant, Greta transforms into a sheep as a shadowy wolf appears before her.)</span><br>
{{NPCDialog|AriesKelly-NFace1|Aries Kelly|Text=
<p>Not anymore!</p>

<span class="action">(As the sheep cries in fear, the wolf unleashes its claws, reducing the sheep into a wave of blood. The wolf disappears, and Kelly collapses.)</span><br>
