Rover: “It looks a bit small.”
Encore: “Hmph. Give us some extra time, and we can make one bigger than that giant gate of Jinzhou. Baa! Says Cosmos.”

Rover: “Are you getting ready for an audition?”
Encore: “Audition? That actually sounds like a good idea. Then you can be part of Encore's cheerleading squad, Rover! I know this is just a small stage for storytelling. I wanted to try the way Mom used to do it. She and I started the Wooly Warrior story after all. Besides, it'll be more fun this way!”
Encore is excited about the prospects of a new adventure
Encore: “Encore wonders if Ying will show up today. We didn't really pinky-promise…”
Rover: “She'll be here.”
Right on cue, a little girl in a blue dress comes sprinting towards the duo. Ying has arrived!
Ying: “Encore, Rover. Sorry for the wait…”
Rover: “Glad to see you, Ying.”
Ying: “Th-Thank you…”

Rover: “Look who finally showed up.”
Ying: “I'm so sorry…”
Encore: “All right. Now that Team Wooly's fully assembled, is everyone ready for the story?”
Ying: “Ready. Umm... This stage…”
Encore: “This is the small stage Encore made for the play, where the warrior's adventure continues. Does anyone remember where we last left off?”
Encore quickly sprints onto the stage before addressing the audience
Ying: “I know...The Wooly Warrior was trying to find the three relics, but I'm not sure if she will find them or not.”
Encore: “That's right. The Wooly Warrior sets out to find the three relics. This time she is not alone. She tries to climb to the top of the highest mountain with her trusty companions.”
Encore expressively retells the events Team Wooly have experienced so far
Encore: “With the mountain being so high up, the waves raging below them, she nearly falls several times, but her friends manage to keep her steady. In the end, she obtains the legendary Sword of Courage. Later, she arrives at a beach, filled with sand as far as the eye can see. She searches and searches, and all she can find are just some tiny shells. But with the help from her friends, the Shield of Faith is uncovered. Only the Wreath remains.”
Ying: “W-will she find it?”
Encore: “Unfortunately, no. After reaching the mythical Sea of Flowers, all the flowers have withered. No matter where she searches, the Wreath of Hope is nowhere to be found.”
Ying: “Just like us…”
Encore: “Yet, her companions want to finish this adventure for her. They gather flowers and weave their feelings into the shape of a crown.”
Encore reveals the Wreath of Hope created by Encore, Rover and Verina to Ying
Encore: “The pink flowers are meant to make her feel happy, the blue flowers are hopes that she will not be scared of any obstacles… This wreath brings together all the feelings and emotions of the companions during their adventure. Their gift to her.”
Ying: “And that... is the moral of the story.”
Rover: “But the wreath isn't complete.”
Encore: “Her companions remark so. The wreath isn't fully completed. It's missing a very important flower. Ying, this wreath is missing the flower that represents your feelings and wishes.”
Ying: “My feelings… I know. It's missing an iris. I've always wanted Mom to see a garden full of blooming irises. But those irises have already withered…”
Encore and Rover attempt to persuade Ying into believing the Gateway of Wishes exists
Encore: “What if we could find one?”
Ying: “Find one...?”
Encore: “What if we can find an iris and the Gateway of Wishes? Will you want to continue on this adventure, Ying?”
Ying: “I... Of course! But I thought there was no such thing as the Gateway of Wishes. It only exists in the story…”
Rover: “If there isn't one in reality…” / “We can find it in the story.”
Ying: “In the story…”
Encore: “That's right! Because stories aren't just stories. When you believe in them, they'll really exist. Just like how it is now. With everyone's feelings combined into the wreath, it slowly turns into a door. A door that leads to the deepest parts of the Wooly Kingdom. Inside, the irises continue to bloom. So, do you believe in it and choose to continue this adventure?”
Ying: “I… I believe.”
Encore: “Great. Off we go!”
Encore, Ying and Rover leapt through the Gateway of Wishes to continue their adventure in the Wooly Kingdom
