FINAL WEEK

Starting Saturday, the layer of clouds in the sky is more solid than ever. Overcast, reflecting the neon light of the city. By Sunday, you'll see more colors than ever, as several new areas are added to the span of your probation. And some areas aren't, but might see an approach anyway. Do the pods containing six weeks of treatment daunt you in the slightest now that judgment awaits at the end of the fourth week? Though faithful treatment participants only experience flashes on the upper third of their bodies now, their counterparts will experience occasional waves of isolating existential coldness. Does your physically present overseer have anything to say for herself? Just remember one thing: Kanto is watching and waiting.

Huh. Non-standard, but it looks like it gets the job done.

Yep!

[* And just to show off, he "springs" his vines and launches the bowling ball into the alleyway. It rolls along and, what do you know, Flowey gets a strike.]

See, the trick is to see the oil patterns in the lane.

Really now? Never thought of that... This place is kinda old, though, right? How much oil is there left?

[* Flowey leans in over the line to inspect it, then summoning a vine behind the line to reach over and rub it across the lane.]

...It's as I suspected. It's all dried up. Without oil, the ball would move slower and hook too much, resulting in more gutter balls. Without any oil, the balls wouldn't be able to spin effectively. What's your current score? If anything, it should be much higher if there were actually any oil on the lane.

I think discounting your shot, I got two strikes, a spare, the rest have consistently been five, six, or seven... Maybe there's oil I can find in this place to recover the alleys. Even if the wood is old.

Say, now that's a good idea! With enough work, this place could actually become functional again! But where would we find oil laying around?

[* Flowey begins looking around. Perhaps some supply closet?]
