Preliminary Test
p.118
Niko: No cage exists in Polaris!

text: In fact, the story of Polaris is about how "the prince and the princess of the Ursa Minor accepted the arranged marriage and lived happily ever after." And that's all.

text: Yes. What intervened in this story was my "imagination".
Fran: ...The conclusion ought to be the same.
Sfx: Rustling.

text: However, it's you that is also being deceptive. You're talking about your "imagination" since you too have your favorable storyline of "She chose on her own to stay by her love".

p.119
Niko: You're a liar!!
text: Aah, why this child looking straight at me with those kind of eyes?

Niko: You deceived me!! / You're awful!
text: As if I'm wrong.
Sfx: Breathe in

Fran: Yes.

Fran: Maybe it's a lie. // I thought it would be nice if it was like that.

p.120
text: However, I didn't deceive you. That is to say, it was a story told for the purpose of entertaining people...
text: The truth of fiction is almost helpless before "imagination". As for this world, everything is about facts based on evidence.
Fran: It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Since it's you who decided if my story was true / You should just accept that it was interesting.
text: Well, without evidence, even history and fact could have become fiction. / I'm only saying that it's more fun if there's room for intervention.

p.121
Fran: That's also why the listener must decide the truth with their own heart.
text: "Cage of Polaris". / This cage is made up of thoughts called "me". This would also be the truth for people who are happy being locked in a cage.
Fran: You too.

p.122
Fran: Don't you think that freedom of speech and pleasantness lie in there?
Niko: ...

Niko: Niko doesn't understand that difficult stuff, though... / Niko understands one thing!
Fran: What is it?

Niko: That you're a pervert!!!
Sfx: Smile.
Fran: Yes, that's correct. I'm glad that you got it right.

p.123
Fran: --Aah, it's about time for me to go, otherwise it will be dark soon.
Niko: ...
