Synopsis:
The player has accepted a invitation from Gale's hologram projection to come meet the real Gale at a secluded grove at night. There, they speak about how this may be his last night alive, as they near the heart of the Absolute, where Gale is destined to blow himself up. The player probes his mindset and can try to comfort him. Ultimately the scene may become romantic. Gale may lead the player to a magically-infused sex scene amidst the stars, or the player may determine they should take a more grounded approach.
How to trigger:
Queue the Gale's Last Night Alive night through the Origin debug book;
Go through the Double's dialogue and proceed to long rest.

33. Player: It's breathtaking, Gale. Is this starry sky your doing?
122. : Indeed. The curse is still present of course - just veiled and at arm's length for now. Not a trick I can repeat often, but tonight? Tonight is different.
52. Player: You seem especially philosophical this evening. Are you all right?
134. : I will be, soon. I am perhaps just one hard day away from being without any troubles at all.
73. Player: Why did you summon me here?
69. : I wanted to see you. While I still could.
108. Player: I'm afraid all of this is just a fantasy.
64. : So it is. But a very fine one.
59. : This may be my last night alive. I wanted it to be under a canopy of beauty and wonder...

60. : I thought this place might bring me peace. I thought it might make the weight of what I must do feel a little lighter... but I am not so sure.devnote
56. Player: Is this truly what you want, to die for the promise of Mystra's forgiveness?
67. : Babe or crone, coward or hero, death is assured. Mystra's forgiveness is not. If you knew the end was near, would you not want to ensure it had meaning?devnote
63. Player: It's a heavy burden, yes - but one you're able for. Think of the good your sacrifice will do.
30. : I am trying. Believe me, I am. The path is set, and I will not stray from it - even as my heart quakes.
1. : I am terrified - I will not claim otherwise. My face could scarcely conceal it even if my words sought to deny it.devnote
49. : There is no point in running from the inevitable. Better to meet it, on my own terms.devnote

31. Player: You sound sure in your course of action then.
107. : Resigned to it, rather. But that is not to say I am without fear. Far from it.

9. : I can only hope that there are few innocents within the Absolute's reach, when the time comes... and that you will seek safety, far away from me.
82. : Stay with me a while, will you? Day will come all too soon, even in this place.
61. Player: I'm not going anywhere, Gale. I'll be by your side, whatever dawn brings.

51. Player: You're a good kisser.
105. : And you're a bad liar. I lived the life of a hermit for some time before I met you - safer for all, but not conducive to pleasures of the flesh.
65. Player: You're out of practice.
123. : A fair assessment - I wish we had more time to practice together.
15. Player: I hope that wasn't a parting kiss.
85. : Not if I have any say in the matter.

19. : The grand piano plays the Lliirian Suites all by itself, and as we look out beyond the arches that lead to the terrace, we see the weary sun take its daily dive into the sea.devnote

125. : It's called 'The Art of the Night', and it details the first thousand nights of a newlywed king and queen.
99. Player: That's your perfect? It seems... lonely.
11. : On the contrary. No one is lonely when they have books - except perhaps the illiterate.
4. : This one here is called 'The Art of the Night'. It details the first thousand nights of a newlywed king and queen.
8. : They turned everything they did into an art. The art of conversation. The art of taste, time honoured and newly acquired.
42. : The art of the body. The exploration and acceptance of the self and the other. The art of the night itself.
128. : I say we take a page from their book.
75. Player: Leave it to you to seduce someone with a book.
106. : Then let's set the book aside an be blank slates on blank sheets, delightfully new.
23. Player: You're remarkably upfront about your intentions. I like it.
93. : I'm many things, but coy's not one of them.
95. Player: I'll remind you we're newly acquainted, not newlyweds.
41. : Then we'll start writing the prequel.
87. : What do you say?
101. Player: I think that sounds delightful - but I don't see a bed.['Gale 5']
