All right! This should be a good place to lay low until everyone stops being crazy...

--Huh? This isn't how I left this room...

AAAHH! Something's missing! Right, the jewels I kept over here... they're gone! But the only people who know about this cave are me and Mion...

I should've known it was a bad idea to leave so much treasure in one spot... Looks like somebody finally found it. Whoever it is, they're going to be sorry they ever set foot in here.

Right, if they only took a handful, they'll probably be back for more. I'll catch them red-handed once they come back!

[So, somewhere on the island, there is a cave containing gold bricks, antiques, bags of money, and stuffed dinosaurs. This is the place where Anise has been hiding all the money and valuables she's acquired over her years on the island. Should you happen upon it, you're going to get accused of stealing and things might get ugly.]

... And the only people who know about this place are me and you. Right?

Well, yeah... Though anybody could have wandered in looking for shelter and found it, maybe. What's missing?

But I've been using this cave for a year now, and nobody found it during that time.

...Some jewels.

Nothing like this has ever really happened before though, right?

Maybe they just... moved! Have you looked all over?

Jewels don't just move by themselves!

Not even ones from this island?

I seriously doubt it.

Aah... In any case, I'll help you.

You can help me by telling me where they are.

You're the only one who knew they were here. You're the only one who could have taken them!

A-Anise, really, I swear I didn't...!

I'll bet you had this in mind the day you offered me a place to keep my valuables.

Of course not! I have my locker for things like this, for crying out loud, why would I bother with your jewels!?

The same reason anyone would!

And that is?

They're jewels! Rare ones, at that. Some people would kill for stuff that valuable! Others just settle for betraying their friends.

I'd be out there going crazy with the rest of them sooner than I do something like that, Anise.

I wish I could believe that.

What can I do to prove it to you?

If you want me to think someone else did it, I guess you'd have to find that "someone else."

And the jewels, of course.

Then I'll do it!

When I find them, I'll find your jewels.

...Fine, do what you want.

But I'm not going to forget about it just because you're stalling for time.

Don't I always?

I'm not stalling. Just helping out a friend in need.

...

*pat pat pattin ur head* First thing's first. When was the last time you were in here?

*sob flinching*

...Yesterday. When people started acting really weird, I got worried and came to check, but everything was fine then.
