[MAD RAT] "That does sound nice.... but listen, Rat God..."

[MAD RAT] "Uh... you saw didn't you? I was so weak, I died. Even if I could go back in time, what could I do with just one day?"

[RAT GOD] "Are you kidding me?! I can't believe this! Whining makes you sound even more pathetic!"

[MAD RAT] "Don't blame me, I was in a cage my whole life! Wishing wasn't enough! Because of him, I...!"

[RAT GOD] "*sigh* This is why you gave in to being a lab rat. It's why you spent your last days in a cage."

[MAD RAT] "I didn't CHOOSE to become a lab rat!"

[RAT GOD] "Don't worry! One day is enough to turn your life around!"

[MAD RAT] "Just one day? Even in this weak body?"

[RAT GOD] "Yes! Of course! Simply move forward."
