Rover and Ying both open their eyes, realizing they’ve returned to Garden of Promise
Encore finishes off her story on the tiny stage
Encore: “And just like that, the little warrior's wish's come true, putting a perfect ending to this adventure story. The warrior finally gets to meet her mother, telling her all the stories and words she has always wanted to tell. But the warrior's journey won't end here, as the path ahead is a long one.”
Ying: “Encore, Rover. Thank you both so much. I-I finally got to see her, and we talked so much. I told her how much I've missed her, how I found the treasures she left behind, and how I met both of you… I never thought I'd see her again. So, I want you to have this.”
Ying places the Wreath of Hope on Encore’s head as a sign of her gratitude
Rover: “The Wreath of Hope?”
Ying: “Yes! I know you still have more adventures ahead, so I'd like this wreath to keep you company.”
Encore doesn’t respond, but just smiles in response to Ying’s gesture
Ying: “I want to go back and tell my dad this story now, and tell him what my mother said to me. So, this is where we say goodbye.”
Encore and Rover wave goodbye to Ying as she sprints off to find her Dad
Rover: “Goodbye, Ying.”
Encore: “Be sure to share our story with everyone!”
Ying: “I will! Goodbye!”
Encore spends a moment to think about the experience thus far before speaking to Rover
Encore: “Time for another feedback session from the audience. What do you think of this story?”
Rover: “It's a story with a very happy ending.”
Encore: “Hehe, Encore loves this ending!”

Rover: “The fights were still a bit too realistic for me.”
Encore: “But the parts where everyone was fighting as a team were super, super cool!”
Encore pulls out a personal journal and starts to recall the adventure she’s had with Team Wooly
Encore: “The Wooly Warrior finally fulfilled her wish, and she got to tell her mother all her stories. About the companions she got to meet. Who she went on adventures with, defeating all kinds of monsters that stood in their way! Their search for the sword and shield as a team, and how they put together the Wreath of Hope. We've been to many places together, but there's so much more to go, and so many adventures and stories to write about. These stories are an extension of life, they are…”
Encore started to tear up as she spoke and Rover kneeled down to comfort her
Rover: “Stories with happy endings.”
Encore: “Yeah. Stories with happy endings! Mom said the same thing.”
Rover: “It was a really good ending.”
Encore: “Yeah, Encore had never thought of such an ending when telling the Wooly Warrior story in the past. I really enjoyed how it ended. The story of the Wooly Warrior's search for the relics is finished, and my vacation is about to end. It's time to head back to Black Shores…”
Rover: “That was a really short vacation.
Encore: “Well, we are kinda busy over there most of the year.”

Rover: “Don't forget to finish your homework.”
Encore: “Oh, enough with the homework already.”
Encore pouts in frustration at Rover’s attempt at a joke before making a promise to Rover
Encore: “No biggie. Even though this story is over, Encore will make sure to prepare a new adventure next time we meet! Let's be on the same team together, and you can still be the captain! Wanna do a pinky promise?”
Rover: “Sure.” / (Reach out your hand.)
Encore: “I pinky promise that we'll write as many stories as we can together… As a team… Pinky promised!”
Encore: “Don’t forget our pinky promise! There are so many adventures, and so many stories just waiting for us!”
