Listen, we've all been there before. It's way too early in the morning, you've got an assignment due or a work-related project, and fatigue and delirium are at its highest and creativity at its lowest. So you put your best foot forward and hammer away, hoping the end result is solid enough.

The entire party in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

It turns out, the writer of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, was in this exact predicament during the development of the title. In the end, it gave birth to one of the game's most poignant and also silly scenes.

In an interview with Polygon, Svedberg-Yen revealed that the conversation between Esquie and Verso about François, featuring the very hilarious "Whee" and "Whoo," was the result of some late-night — or early morning, if that's more your speed — writing.

"That was me at three in the morning trying to come up with something," Svedberg-Yen revealed. "I needed to write seven relationship dialogues for Esquie!"

According to the writer, the script for Expedition 33 clocks in at about 800 pages long, and that's not including NPC dialogue or lore documents. With so much space to fill, Svedberg-Yen turned to just about everything for inspiration, including her dog, while also letting the fatigue of the moment carry her proverbial pen.

"I knew what I wanted to say, where it’s talking about something heavy and sad and how you can feel the joy and the grief," Svedberg-Yen said. "And I was so tired. I didn’t have any words. So I was just like, 'Wheeeeee!'"

Yup, we've been there before too. Obviously not for a video game, but for a term paper or work project? Absolutely. If only we had the skill to come up with words like "Whee" and "Whoo."
