I decided to not quote the game after all. I could quote the game only if I always posted screenshots of what was happening, but if I change things around a bit, I can make the story better to read. The game's text was meant to go along with pictures, after all.

Chapter 5
Locke and Terra approached the castle's front gates as a man in a maroon and green uniform approached them.
"What is your business here?"
Neither Locke or Terra said a word, as the man becan to walk in circles around them, looking at them closely.
"Oh," he then said, "It's you two. Proceed."
He walked back beside the gates and made a series of signs to a nearby tower. Moments later, the gate opened and Locke and Terra entered.
"Follow me."
Locke led the way. He walked straight forward through several rooms, mostly long halls that had few decorations in them. When they reached the throne room, they saw a man in one of the two seats. "The king of Figaro," Locke quickly said. After closing the door behind them, Locke quickly walked towards him, not wanting Terra to follow behind. The two whispered urgently to each other. It was clear they were stressed. Terra, despite standing at the entrance, could almost make out what they were saying.
"You mean THIS young woman..?!" the king suddenly said out loud, startling Terra and making her jump. He chuckled to himself and told her to step forward. The king began inspecting Terra the same way the man at the entrance had, though he was clearly taking his time.
"Who do you think you are?" Terra asked with nervousness in her voice.
The king quickly turned away and put his head down.
"Oh... Sorry!"
He quickly turned back towards Terra and smiled at her.
"How rude of me to turn my back to a lady!"
-Edgar:
--The younk king of Figaro Castle,
--ally to the Empire, and a
--master designer of machinery...
"I am Edgar, King of Figaro," he said.
Locke then stepped forward. "Surprised someone like me knows a king?"
Locke and Edgar faced each other, having another conversation in quieter whispers before both of them turned towards Terra again.
"Talk to you later!" Locke said. He waved goodbye at the two as he left the room, though only Edgar waved back. Terra, as usual, only blankly stared.
The two were silent. Edgar expected Terra to say something, but all she did was stare at the door where Locke just passed through. The silence went on for about a minute until Edgar could no longer stand it. He tried starting a conversation.
"So... You're an Imperial soldier! No problem. Figaro and the Empire are allies!"
Terra turned towards him, but said nothing and only stared blankly, which made Edgar really uneasy.
"Uhh... Please, relax while you're here! It's not in my blood to harm a lady..."
"Look," Terra interrupted, "why are you helping me? Is it because of my... My abilities?"
Edgar smiled, as if he knew exactly what to say next.
"I'll give you three reasons. First of all, your beauty has captivated me! Second, I'm dying to know if I'm your type..."
Terra quickly turned away from him and walked towards a window, trying to hide her face which had turned bright red. Edgar followed behind her but kept his distance and continued speaking.
"I guess your... abilities... would be a distant third."
There was a short silence.
"What... What's with you, anyway?" asked Terra.
Edgar sighed, "Guess my technique's getting a bit rusty..." Edgar quietly left the room.
Terra then sighed and said to herself, "I suppose a normal girl would have found him dashing, but I'm hardly normal."
Edgar didn't seem like he would come back, so Terra left the room and wandered the castle, more confused than ever.
