1. *Rock enters the living room with a stack of books, papers, and recordings*

Hey, look what I found when cleaning up Grandpa Barrel's old room at Nino Island! A lot of his unpublished logs and notes! He sure was a prolific digger in his youth. These are really invaluable for the field of archaeology! Not to mention worth a lot of cash!

Let's see... "Forbidden Island?" These must be the log of his first journey to the Forbidden Island. I wonder why he never published it.

And here... "Rock's Discovery?" Huh? Is this about my adoption? What a strange title. I think maybe Grandpa Barrel dug a little bit too much. Let's listen to it.

"Are you sure you don't want to listen to this in private or something, Rock?"

"Nah, what's the point. It's not like it's a dramatic secret or something."

*The recording starts to play*

"...Once, a long time ago, I went to the ruins on Nino Island to do some research on the civilization that preceded ours. The ruins there are very dangerous, and are normally sealed off. I snuck inside without the Guildmaster's permission. Just inside the entrance, I found a strange, diamond-shaped object. When I touched it, it fell apart--no, melted--and from inside there appeared a small child, a baby, and a monkey. Seeing as I had broken into the ruins without permission I couldn't reveal where I'd found them. So, I decided to raise the baby along with my granddaughter..."

*Rock turns off the recording.*
