Dialogue[]
- (First interaction, after obtaining
Brother Hanu's Extras Film Reel ×1) - Main article: Dreamjoy Memoir: Extras
- Hanu Animator: ...Hmph.
- Pisce asked me to find you and make the extra stories.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph!? I'm not ready yet...
- Hanu Animator: ...
- Hanu Animator: Hmph...
- Drop the act already.
- Hmph.
- Hanu Animator: ...Hmph, quit it.
- Hanu Animator: Director, it's not that I look down on this job, it's just that there are a few things about the Brother Hanu story that still bug me. Tell me, what kind of person is Brother Hanu exactly?
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, even people who know nothing about history should still have heard of who Brother Hanu was modeled after — Hanunue, the one who liberated Penacony.
- Hanu Animator: He was the one who broke the IPC's hold over the prison and named it "Penacony"... Yet Penacony has never seemed to thank this hero, and I don't recall ever seeing his statue or hearing his theme song in the dreams.
- Maybe he never existed.
- Hanu Animator: Well, I don't know... Everyday people don't care about Penacony's past, except for directors and artists constantly mining everything for new material. Maybe the name is actually just a fictional one borrowed from some movie.
- Maybe someone out there's hiding his story?
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, it's more than likely — the mighty liberation of Penacony was carried out by a lowly crook... If they couldn't steal his thunder, you can bet The Family would want his name struck from the Dreamscapes.
- Hmph.
- Hanu Animator: Hey, don't make fun of me! That ain't cool!
- Hanu Animator: But if you want to tell a tale about Brother Hanu, you'll have to understand a little more about this mysterious character.
- Hanu Animator: I spent a long time gathering up info to find out what kind of person Hanunue actually was, but I somehow turned up three different stories!
- What were they?
- Hanu Animator: The first story I found was from a Penacony Grand Museum, where an information board claimed Hanunue was a merciless criminal who had committed a flurry of serious felonies.
- Hanu Animator: He waged war in the Montour System prior to his imprisonment that cost millions of innocent lives, and despite freeing Penacony using brutal means, it was those same brutal means that turned Penacony into a nightmare.
- Hanu Animator: The executed corpses piled up high as mountains under his cruel regime, with war and disaster ravaging the world... Lots of material in the museum recounted horrors of the time, and there's probably no reason for The Family to have faked any of that.
- What was the second one?
- Hanu Animator: The second story I heard was from a history professor at Paperfold Academy who told me Hanunue was a righteous and selfless hero.
- Hanu Animator: According to this professor, Hanunue had been set up and wrongfully imprisoned. He was a kind and courageous Harbeck werewolf who could not bear to see his fellow inmates suffering — and so he led them in an uprising against the tyranny of the IPC.
- Hanu Animator: After winning the battle, he chose to cede power as the biggest hero and established the system of different lineages. He defended this world's freedom as the leader of the Hounds and fought for Penacony in the barren Dreamscapes right up until the even of his death.
- What about the third one?
- Hanu Animator: As for the third story, it might sound a little outrageous... but it's some unofficial history that I read about in the Primal Waking Library: Hanunue was just an ordinary Asdana wild wolf.
- Hanu Animator: At the frontier prison, suppression of inmates had reached a zenith. However, nobody dated [sic] to fire the first shot... until an out-of-control wild wolf stormed into the prison and bit an IPC guard, triggering mutiny among the inmates.
- Hanu Animator: Following independence, the prisoners used this wolf to build up the hero of Penacony's independence: Hanunue. But he never actually existed — he was just a romantic legend...
- Hanu Animator: Which of these three prototypes — "criminal," "hero," or "wolf" — do you think was the real Hanunue? Think carefully about it. I'll write a Brother Hanu story based on your answer.
- A merciless criminal.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, got it. There must be a string of dark crimes lurking in Brother Hanu's past.
- A righteous, selfless hero.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, got it. Brother Hanu's definitely got a pair of kind eyes beneath those cool sunglasses.
- An Asdana wolf.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, got it. Brother Hanu is a fabrication representing a beautiful hope.
- None of these feel super accurate...
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, so what? We're making an animation, not shooting a historical documentary — so just pick your favorite one. Whether it's true or false won't impact ticket sales!
- Hanu Animator: Alright then, I'll write this Brother Hanu extra story based on the idea you picked!
- The Hanu Animator starts scribbling down an extra story about Brother Hanu...
- Hanu Animator: Hah, it's done. Our extra story is going to be a bestseller!
- Hanu Animator: I'll leave the script in your good hands, then, director. Keep exploring for more Brother Hanu stories inside Dreamjoy Memoir.
- The animator begins to promote the extra story of Dreamjoy Memoir, in which you are involved, attracting the attention of tourists...
None of these feel super accurate...
- (Trailblazer): (The Extra's commercial is done. Time to continue editing Dreamjoy Memoir...)
- (Obtain Dreamjoy Memoir Extras (Brother Hanu's Extras))
- (Subsequent interactions)
- Hanu Animator: So what? Hmph, my work now is done!
- Wanna chat?
- Hanu Animator: Alright, what do you want to talk about?
- About Brother Hanu.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, Brother Hanu was the top brass around Dreamville, leading the townsfolk to rise against Boss Stone before Clockie's Compass arrived in town.
- Hanu Animator: He's Clockie's most trustworthy partner, having saved Dreamville with his sharp eyesight and rocket launcher from disaster multiple times.
- Hanu Animator: If Clockie is Dreamville's star celeb and Old Man Wood is its big backer, then Brother Hanu's gotta be Dreamville's big hero!
- About Hanunue.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, I've been investigating this for a long time, but I still don't know who Hanunue actually is.
- Hanu Animator: Even if he really does exist, he's a historical figure that must've been thousands of years old — would Mr. Watchmaker really know him?
- About *hmph*.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, I don't know why, but Brother Hanu only makes this noise in the animation. It actually saves us lots of money on voice acting.
- Hanu Animator: I wonder what Mr. Watchmaker meant by this design. Perhaps Hanunue is also someone of very few words.
- Let's catch up another time.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, so long.
- Goodbye.
- Hanu Animator: Hmph, so long.
Wanna chat?
Let's catch up another time.
