Korun is a fiercely competitive scientist who tries to hide that he loves and cares about his rival, Nikoler.
Nikoler is a scientist who intensely competes with his rival, Korun. He secretly loves and cares about him.

[1/10] Korun: W-Woah there, short nose! What are you doing, barging into my home?! {shocked}
[2/10] Korun: Did Cinfras send you? Well, welcome to Lake Gylia! I could actually make use of some assistance. {welcoming}
[3/10] Korun: The magic here in this place is so potent; you can actually see the mystical properties! {passionate}
[4/10] Korun: I've been a scientist for many years, but I have never seen anything like this lake. {normally}
[5/10] Korun: That's why why I set up a small laboratory and started living here to study the place. It's pretty rudimentary but it does the job done. {explaining|
[6/10] Korun: The deeper into the lake you dive, the stronger the magical power becomes. I think something strange is occurring in the heart of the lake. I believe a lot of answers lie inside. {explaining}
[7/10] Korun: Alright, that's enough context! You see, there's another... ''scientist'' across the lake. We're kind of rivals? The guy's awful, I hate him, AND... Well... {condescendingly}
[8/10] Korun: He's been missing. {deeply concerned}
[9/10] Korun: And while I somewhat hope he's gotten himself in trouble, he might've figured something out about the lake. {thoughtfully}
[10/10] Korun: I suspect he's gone in to the heart of the lake... Come with me a moment, please. {normally}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/1] Korun: Alright, this leads underwater where the heart is. How about you try and enter? {norally}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/2] Korun: ...just as I thought, you can't get in just like me. We'll need to gather more information. {thoughtfully}
[2/2] Korun: Human, investigate Nikoler's house for me. It's north down the coast. {normally}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/2] Korun: Where could he be... There's no way he found access to- Hey! {thoughtfully, then suprised}
[2/2] Korun: Don't just listen to me mumbling! Have you found Nikoler?! {annoyed}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Notes from Nikoler that are supposed to be read
IMPORTANT NOTES: The map to the talisman is in the basement!! That fool Korun will never see all this coming. {excited, annoyed when saying "Korun"}
If everything goes right, it should grant access to the heart of the mountain... I can't wait! {excited}
I needn't forget to input the total number of lit candles inside the house in order to get in the basement... That's why I made that tube! I'm so good at handling security!! No need for blasted overpriced Corkian equipment! {self-satisfied}
The stones should be in a few bags around here. {normally}
I actually don't know if I'm making it out of this, but I absolutely have to find out what's inside the lake. {intensely}
One part of me wants to bring Korun along. As much as we hate each other, it'd surely increase our chance of survival. {thoughtfully}
And, who knows, maybe the heart of the mountain is actually perfectly safe? {thoughtfully}
Though, I mustn't forget that three of the greatest minds of our time got lost to cosmic powers... {sadly}
No matter what, if you really want to join me, I left you enough clues. {normally}
See you later, Korun. {normally}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/5] Korun: Y-you've actually found a lead?! There were clues in his basement? And you found a... talisman? This must be it, then! {suprised and elated}
[2/5] Korun: This might very well be the key to enter the heart, especially if it was as well-guarded with cosmic creatures as you say. {explaining}
[3/5] Korun: Alright then! This might be too dangerous for me, so I'm entrusting this task to you once more. Enter the tunnel in my basement, and explore as much as you can! {excited}
[4/5] Korun: If you can bring me samples of any kind, I'll try to reward you handsomely. However, if you find Nikoler alive... Please bring him back. {explaining, then deeply worried}
[5/5] Korun: As for the talisman, make sure you hold it whilst in the tunnel. Be careful, you're in uncharted territory from now on. {explaining}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/1] Korun: Good luck, human. Please bring me back Nikoler, or any sample you might find. {normally}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/4] ???: The drill should be ready by now... In just a little bit, I'll have single-handedly conquered the heart of the mountain..! {confidently} //Nikoler
[2/4] Nikoler: A human!? W..What? Did you read the notes I left for Korun? I'll have you know that's theft!! I - you..! {appalled}
[3/4] Nikoler: Don't get any closer!! I'll destroy the path if I have to!! {defensively}
[4/4] Nikoler: This is MY story! Don't you dare interfere!! {aggressively}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/9] Nikoler: You're... persistent. Are you trying to steal from these meteors I'VE found?! Do you have any idea how much research I did to get this far?? {aggressively}
[2/9] Nikoler: It's too late! I've already drilled a piece. Once I show Korun, I'll be known as the better researcher... {triumphantly}
[3/9] Nikoler: Ah... how good this'll b- {satisfied}
[3/9] Nikoler: N-no! {horrified}
[4/9] Nikoler: No no no no no no! This CAN'T be happening! {horrified}
[5/9] Nikoler: Tampering with the meteors must be making the cave instable! I... I thought this'd happen and yet- {thoughtfully}
[6/9] Nikoler: This is all YOUR fault! Why'd you have to come and make me panic? We're both DOOMED! {frightened}
[7/9] Nikoler: No... I can't die here, I can't die now, what will he think... {frightened}
[8/9] Nikoler: I... We might still have a shot at escaping... And then, human, I'll report you to the authorities!! {scared, then aggressive}
[9/9] Nikoler: I'm STUCK! Urgh... No... Not like this, please, not like this... {despairing}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/2] Nikoler: You... Why? You came to get me? Not the... meteors? {confused, suprised}
[2/2] Nikoler: I... Fine then. Let's make a run for it, human! {accepting}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/1] Nikoler: Rats! That dynamite went and backfired on us! Quick, try to run in to the rubble with me, we need to hurry! {frustrated}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/1] Nikoler: AH- {suprised, scared}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/10] Korun: Welcome back! I see you're completely drenched! How did things go? I assume you've explored the place thoroughly. {relieved}
[2/10] Korun: YOU! Y-You're alive!! {shocked}
[3/10] Nikoler: ...were you worrying about me? What a fool. This mountain could never do so much as scratch me! {confidently}
[4/10] Nikoler: This human right here actually saved me, right after endangering me. You don't mean to tell me you sent them for me? {explaining}
[5/10] Korun: Well, it's very simple. Where's the fun in our rivalry if you just go off and die somewhere? {explaining}
[6/10] Korun: That aside, what did you find in there? What happened? {interested}
[7/10] Nikoler: I found them, Korun. I found the meteors! They still seemed potent somehow, but the cave collapsed and... {passionately, then sadly}
[8/10] Korun: That's... fine. We can always go back and try clearing the rubble. There's always opportunities to take a hold of. Next time, please don't just go off on your own! {deeply concerned}
[9/10] Korun: Human, you made the right choice... Without Nikoler, our efforts would have been in vain. I'll try to work with him a bit more, as it seems like the logical course of action now. Thank you. {gratefully}
[10/10] Nikoler: H-hey! I never agreed to- {shocked}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/6] Korun: I see you're completely drenched, so I suppose you thoroughly explored the place. How did it go? {curious}
[2/6] Korun: You found... Nothing? Really? And the meteors were too unstable to temper with? {shocked}
[3/6] Korun: Actually, how would you know about tempering with the- wait... {thoughtfully}
[3/6] Korun: Did you find him? Please... please tell me you found him, there's no way he'd just die like that. I... {dreading}
[4/6] Korun: W-what? The whole cave COLLAPSED on him? And you couldn't even save him?! N-no, it can't be your fault, I... I'm sorry. {despairing}
[5/6] Korun: This is all way too much to take in for me, but I suppose you've explored and served the purpose I gave you. {depressed}
[6/6] Korun: Here's your reward, then. Now please, just leave me be. There's a lot I have to think about. {heartbroken}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/2] Korun: I don't know what I would've done without your help, human. {normally}
[2/2] Korun: I could never bring myself to go on with my research if I didn't have my rival. {happily}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/3] Nikoler: I guess neither of us won... Oh well. {somewhat regretfully}
[2/3] Nikoler: I apologize for being bitter when we met. Your presence triggered a fierce fight or flight reaction within me! {explaining, apologetic}
[3/3] Nikoler: Stop by my house once and awhile, will you? I think I'll start fishing as a hobby... I need to relax. {normally}
[2/3] Nikoler: Why did I... What was all that effort for... {despairing}
[3/3] Nikoler: What were we thinking..? {confused}
[2/3] Nikoler: Could I... Use the power of the meteors in order to do that..? {thoughtfully}
[3/3] Nikoler: Yeah... Yeah, maybe... And then- {thoughtfully}
[2/3] Nikoler: Especially after you... You... {angrily, sadly}
[3/3] Nikoler: Please, just leave me alone. {sadly}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/4] Nikoler: It's you! Glad to have crossed paths again! {welcoming}
[2/4] Nikoler: Since the incident, I've decided to start fishing as a hobby. {explaining}
[3/4] Nikoler: Take this- for all I care, you can own this! {normally}
[4/4] Nikoler: Thank you... for saving me. {deeply grateful}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/3] Nikoler: Check up on Korun from time to time for me, will you? {concerned}
[2/3] Nikoler: I'm still taking a break from all the science stuff... But he definitely hasn't seen the last of me! {happily}
[3/3] Nikoler: After all, I'm still the one who got to the heart of the mountain! I'm even able to sleep soundly knowing that I've won... {satisfied}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/7] Korun: I see you're completely drenched! There's this odd aura around you... What happened? {thoughtfully}
//Tell Korun about the meteor shard?
//[1] Yes
//        If the player lost it
[2/7] Korun: So you took the meteor shard, then you lost it, and Nikoler DIED?! {horrified}
//        If the player has it
[2/7] Korun: You... You actually found a meteor shard!! That's amazing! That's... that's... um... {attempting to be suprised}
[3/7] Korun: You... You managed to fail at every task I gave you. That's almost...impressive. {disappointed}
[4/7] Korun: I... I don't want to believe he's dead. Were you CERTAIN of it?? {in denial}
[5/7] Korun: What... What will I do without him..? {heartbroken}
[5/7] Korun: S-Sorry. I'm just a little shocked is all. I do have to thank you for the shard... {gratefully, depressed}
//[2] No
[2/7] Korun: You explored thoroughly, and couldn't find a shard? Well, we still have much to discover I suppose. {disappointed}
[3/7] Korun: Uh, what did you say j-just now? The cave collapsed and Nikoler d-died..? {horrified}
[4/7] Korun: That's, um, haha... That doesn't sound right, he can't die, he can't leave like that, he can't- {in denial, heartbroken}
[5/7] Korun: S-Sorry. I'm just a little shocked is all. And you came back empty-handed... This was just a loss for everyone involved. {heartbroken}
[6/7] Korun: A-at the very least, you saw this through... I have to commend you for that... I think. {sadly}
[7/7] Korun: Just take these, and go. I have much to think about. {heartbroken}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/2] Korun: This meteor shard... I guess it's a medal of honor for my victory over Nikoler. {ironically}
[2/2] Korun: I just can't shake the feeling that it's all meaningless though... {sadly}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/1] Korun: I still can't thank you enough for that fragment. I hope you continue your interest in the cosmic mysteries that have landed in Gavel. {somewhat gratefully, sad undertone}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/3] Korun: It's over... He'll never come back... {heartbroken}
[1/3] Korun: If only I could go back in time... {heartbroken, longing}
[1/3] Korun: Oh... It's you... I... *hic* S-sorry, I can't really talk right now. {crying}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/1] Korun: Get outta there...! How'd you even get in!? {angry}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/3] Korun: He's gone... Nikoler's gone and I finally became the better scientist... Who cares? He's not even here to know and I... {ironically, sadly}
[2/3] Korun: I think I'm done with all this science stuff. Maybe I'll just go and retire somewhere... And forget about all this. {hollow}
[3/3] Korun: I'm so lost... Could that human really not had saved him..? Not like it matters now... {hollow}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1/2] Korun: A cave you say? I've heard about such a thing, but have never found it. {interested}
[2/2] Korun: Keep it up, you seem to be getting close! {encouraging}
