Quotes
The following conversation occurs between Keiichi, Rena and Shion:
 * Keiichi: "You know...ever since this festival began, more and more people have disappeared from town."
 * Shion: "Don't you know about the legends?"
 * Keiichi: "What legends?"
 * Rena: "He's not originally from here, so he wouldn't know."
 * Shion: "It's said that on the night of the festival, a great celestial beast comes down from the heavens..."
 * Shion: "...and that it's hungry from its long journey."
 * Rena: "That's why they prepare a feast in Cantha!"
 * Shion: "So that the celestial being doesn't eat them instead."
 * Keiichi: "You can't be serious! So what about the people who are disappearing?"
 * Shion: "You guessed it."
 * Rena: "You know Keiichi, with the way you've been eating lately, you might look pretty tasty to a celestial being..."
 * Keiichi: "Wait a second...can't it be that the real reason people are leaving..."
 * Keiichi: "...is because they are going home to see their families?"
 * Rena: "I don't know. Sounds like a stretch to me."
 * Shion: "Highly unlikely..."
 * Keiichi: "I get the feeling you guys just keep me around to amuse yourselves with."
 * Rena: "Ding ding ding! We have a winner!"
