Martha gives the player 5 Baked Breads to deliver to Lucy. In the event the player loses the Baked Bread, more can be purchased in Martha's Bakery.
Upon giving the Baked Bread to Lucy:
Did I order these? I guess I must've. Thanks for helping out.
You don't seem well...
Oh, I'm fine...
Eh, if people are starting to worry about me, I guess it's time to come clean: there is something bothering me.
What is it, exactly?
Well, first let me put it into perspective for you: what if you knew you were up against something huge, and no matter how hard you tried, any amount of effort you put into fighting it would just be a teeny tear drop into a vast, uncaring ocean?
I've never regretted trying my best.
Oh, geez. That sounds rough. I'd probably just give up.
→ Oh, geez. That sounds rough. I'd probably just give up.
Yeah, now you know how I feel. Well, see ya around.
Choosing this option ends the mission immediately.
→ I've never regretted trying my best.
Ha. I suppose if I don't even try, I'll never know if things were as hopeless as I thought...
Alright, you win. I just got a letter from my old professor at Vega 5 University; some new dean is gutting the entire College of Liberal Arts; that includes art, music, history... Who knows what kind of effect those sorts of cuts are going to have going into the future?
That university is a private organization... they can do whatever they want. Humanity subjects are less flashy than the "oh-so brilliant" technology and building departments... er, no offense. Big science projects bring in tons of money for the university, and I guess they got tired of spending it on the arts. The public won't notice a few historians or teachers disappearing...
What will you do?
I... have no idea. Hence the whole "drop in the ocean" thing. But talking to you has helped me remember I'm not alone in this. Maybe Gale knows some people over there; let's talk about this again later. Oh, and thanks! Relationship +15
Post-conduct[]
If the player tries to cheer Lucy up and she talks about the university, several days later Lucy will have the next mission to offer.
