Quest Description

After that last adventure, Aranakin really forgot a lot of things. No matter what, how could the new and old friends he made be forgotten so easily?

(Upon approaching island): Paimon: Hey, you hear that? Someone's singing.; Paimon: That's definitely Aranakin's song!; Paimon: Ha, it really is Aranakin! Let's say hi to him!

(Upon getting closer to Aranakin)

Paimon: Ah, he's gone... But Paimon understands, he's forgotten our adventures together, after all.

Don't lose heart now.

We can be friends all over again.

Paimon: Yes, you're right... Oh, Paimon has an idea!

Paimon: Aranakin taught us a song, right? Let's play it, and maybe he would recognize it!

That's a valid idea.

Paimon: Hee-hee, because Paimon is Paimon!

That's finally some helpful advice...

Paimon: Hey! Stop being so mean to Paimon!

(Play Aranakin's song)

(If played incorrectly): Paimon: Hmm... We must have played something wrong! Let's try again.
(If played incorrectly again)‍^{[need to confirm this line occurs in this instance]}: Paimon: Huh... Still not working? Let's try again!

Paimon: Haha, here he comes! Hello, little thing!

Aranakin: Aranakin is not a little thing! You are! You floaty white little thing!

Aranakin: Speaking of which, golden sand... Nara, why do you know this song?

Paimon: Well...

You taught us.

Paimon: Yes, during our last adventure, you taught the song to us!

I played this song, so that I could meet you.

Paimon: Hehe, how did (‍‍) do? See? We still remember the melody you taught us!

Aranakin: Is that... so? Hmph, Aranakin is not clever, but you don't look like those bad sand grains.

Paimon: No, we don't! You told us that sand is Valuka. So the bad sand grains are a group of bad Nara Valuka, right? But we are good Nara!

Aranakin: Ohh? Did I tell you that as well?

Paimon: Haha, that's right! (‍‍), let's tell the stories to him again!

You recount the adventures to Aranakin, as well as how you neutralized The Withering together.

Aranakin: ...I see.

Aranakin: Aranakin is not clever, but what you said, sounds to be true. Aranakin can't remember, sorry.

Paimon: No, no need for that! Y'know, it's pretty normal to forget things... Besides, we can become friends again, right?

Aranakin is a good kid.

Paimon is a good kid.

Paimon: Hehe, that's for sure!

Aranakin: Ah... Since we're good friends, follow me then!

Paimon: Oh? But...

Aranakin: Golden Nara and White Floaty! Come to my place, follow me!

(Follow Aranakin): Aranakin: Hee-hee, there it is.; Aranakin: That huge tree is the place where I live. But I wasn't the first to live there, nor was it other Aranara.; Aranakin: The tree was once a Nara's home. Aranakin probably knew him, might helped, or been helped by him...; Aranakin: But Aranakin can't remember, just like Aranakin can't remember you.; Aranakin: Right, Nara's instrument... I still keep it. I think I taught my song to him as well, but he didn't come back like you did.; Aranakin: He will be back one day, right? Just like you, even if I can't remember his name...

(Entering Aranakin's home): Aranakin: We're here! Here it is!; Aranakin: This is my place, please rest here!

(Examine instrument): Aranakin: This is Nara instrument, Aranakin is keeping it. But it can't sing now... The strings are not in the right place.; Old Oud: (An antiquated oud, marked with multiple breaking scars, but seeming to be carefully-repaired and well-maintained.)

(Examine leaves): Aranakin: Nara... Hm, what's the name? Aranakin doesn't sleep with that, so forget the word...; Paimon: It's a "bed"! It looks pretty new, indeed... Did someone sleep on it before?; Aranakin: Hehe, Aranakin keeps tidying it... If you want to sleep here, that's okay!

(Talk to Aranakin): Aranakin: There are leaves Nara left upstairs, but... Aranakin can't read them, Aranakin doesn't understand...; Aranakin: Those are the leaves Nara use to keep memories... Nara write on the leaves, and put them together. But the words of Nara, Aranakin doesn't understand.; Paimon: Do you mean... "notebook"?; Aranakin: "Notebook"...? That's how Nara keep their memories?; Paimon: Yup, that's right... Will Aranakin mind if we go upstairs together, and see what it says?; Aranakin: Me? Not at all!

(Talk to Aranakin again): Aranakin: Let me know if you find anything interesting!

(Interact with the Battered Notebook): Battered Notebook: "...I've repaired the oud Uncle Bakr dropped, so stop crying by yourself, alright? You can talk to Khayyam and me if you're unhappy..."; Battered Notebook: "...I've been accepted into the Akademiya! Haha, congratulations to me! I don't want to be some warriors wife! I'm going to be Siman, the Great Sage!"; Battered Notebook: "Hehe... Irfan the 'Great musician' and Khayyam 'the Wise!' Don't forget me! Especially you, Khayyam! Don't you dare forget me!"; Battered Notebook: "...Farewell, notebook! Farewell, Irfan and Siman, my best friends! I hope that the forest never forgets our story, and I hope we remember each other..."; Battered Notebook: (...The rest is a mess and filled with the children's happy and sorrowful memories...); Battered Notebook: "...Aranakin is gone. Vanished into thin air, and without so much as a sign as to when. It's time for me to bid farewell to the oud too. I'll be a craftsman, just like my father had hoped I would..."; Battered Notebook: (There seems to be more, but it's been crossed and blacked out with ink.); Battered Notebook: "...To the person reading this notebook, if I by some miracle am allowed to meet Aranakin and the others again, years from now, then please give this flower to him..."; Paimon: Hey, something fell out of the notebook!; Paimon: It looks like... a flower? It looks... exactly like the ones we got.
(Obtain Little Dried Flower)

(Talk to Aranakin): Aranakin: What memories is it keeping? What did you see?; It seems that the owner of the notebook knows you.; Aranakin: Is that so...? I can't remember...; Paimon: He said... He couldn't see you anymore. Because he grew up, maybe...; Paimon: Hmm... Growing up is really troubling.; Paimon: Oh right! He also said in the notebook that... This flower is for you!; Here.; Aranakin: Huh...? Ahh! This flower is very important! Why do you... how did he get it?; Paimon: Actually, you once gave us the same flower as well... It's just that you forgot everything.; Aranakin: Really...? I can still make friends with you again. But... As for him, I can't even recall his face...; Paimon: I—It's okay... Don't be sad, we still have this flower. It will bring you more memories, right?; Aranakin: Yes, White Floaty is right.; Aranakin: I am taking this flower back, Mawtiyima should know how to wake her up.; Aranakin: Hmm... Nara (‍Traveler‍) and White Floaty, I am going back to where Aranaga is, planting her, and listening to her songs. If you are not busy, you know where to find us!; Paimon: Yes, see you soon!
