As Brandon walked out of the hut, gripping the moogle doll tightly, he was wondering just what was going on. "Why do I feel so compelled to go out here and inspect what's going on?" he asks himself as he finally steps outside.
Once he leaves his hut, he finally gains those last few inches, making him 5'6", giving him his new adult height. He steps outside to see that there are villagers who are scared about something. "What seems to be going on?" he asks one of them.
The villager that he asked looks like he's about to lose his marbles as he points towards an open area of the town. "A fiend has shown up, you have to do something." he says as he runs off in the direction away from it.
Brandon glances over at the fiend as it terrorizes other villagers who are fleeing in horror. "Just what am I supposed to do?" he asks himself as he holds the moogle doll even closer to him as if that was something that could protect him.
Mary is a little scared of the prospect of what's about to happen even though she knows him being defeated means he'll come back. "Don't be afraid just fight." she says aloud.
The shopkeeper however, is not so optimistic this will be Brandon's only fight. "Based on that moogle doll he has, he's going to become this character and he should have no problem beating this fiend." he says as he shows Mary a picture of the character her son is turning into and waits for her to react.
