"Hey! Is it really true that if I stand in the bottom of a well and look up, I'm going to see the stars.... even in day-time?"
—————————————

"Oh! I see. so it isn't about peeping through a long dark tube-like thing after all, huh? And here I thought this here well could be used as a big telescope. Thanks for explaining how light and seeing works!" "It was really eye-opening!"
"..."
"But, have you heard of another story?" "People also are talking about seeing stars inside the well. No, really. Stars at the bottom of a well...That's what I've heard."
—————————————

"Whoa, you're just going to do it yourself?" "Go ahead, I'll just, uh, wait up here, watching the rope... Looking out for you and all that."
—————————————

"I was thinking about getting inside the well to find out myself, but guess who's scared of the dark and narrow spaces...."
—————————————

(The well seems bottomless. The stones are damp and cool to the touch.)

"Whoa!" "Back so soon huh? Well! That's a relief, I was going to stop you but you're too fast! Haha! What were we thinking, It's night-time now after all. If you look up you're going to see those ordinary stars!
"..." "But....since you went down there, So! how was it?" ....Are there stars at the bottom of the well?"
—————————————

|

"Aw, that's boring....Well, what'd you expect from a rumor, right?" "Maybe I should find something else to do...."
—————————————
|
|
||
"Whoa!" "...That's a relief, You were gone for so long I was starting to get worried! I-uh, when you got in I was going to stop you but you're too fast! I mean, What were we thinking, It's night-time now after all. If you look up you're just going to see those ordinary stars!
"..." "What were you doing down there anyway?" "Oh! And...were there stars at the bottom of the well?"

"..." "Hey! cut it, I'm not a little kid you know?" "...but consider strange things are happening in Castanets right now, that suddenly seems....possible."
"Uhh, noo..I'm not...going to jump in there myself anytime soon!" "Maybe I should just leave this place...."

"Well, I'm not really from here, but at least I know about Those 'strange people' and the village's candlebug problem." "...Don't know the details but I heard things got out of hands recently, now both the strange people AND the townspeople are gone!" "Ah...also the bugs seem to went in to hiding..somewhere, I believe." "I'm going to find out where that is."
"..."
"You and me might just be the only few people left, Hah! Isn't that exciting?"
—————————————
|
|

"Castanets..has its history of candlebug problems...you know this, right?" "So this time around they probably decided to have 'outsiders' take care of it." "As you can see, those people failed....and things got weird."
"How? Man, can't say I know about all that."
"Most villagers are gone, to..who knows where." "....Well! At least NOW we know that the villagers, those strangers OR even the bugs weren't hiding in this here well! Great job, friend!"
"..." "You better be careful out there."
