Dr. Edward
Hello, (Mr./Ms.) (Trailblazer)! Did I catch you at a good time? I'm developing a new collaborative project for my humble store. The psychoanalysis chart suggests that you may be interested in this.
Who are you?
(Trailblazer)
Who are you, big eyes?
Dr. Edward
You can call me Dr. Edward! I run the Dreamscape Sales Store on Penacony.
(Trailblazer)
Dreamscape Sales Store? You can buy Dreamscapes now?
Dr. Edward
Experiencing different Dreamscapes is as good as living out different lives! Exciting Dreamscapes can of course be sold as products.
How did you get my number?
(Trailblazer)
Enough of this Dreamscape talk for now. I'm more interested in knowing how you got my number
Dr. Edward
It's just some simple psychoanalysis, my dear friend.
My store will be launching several thrilling dream bubbles. We're tentatively calling it the "Apocalyptic Shadow" series.
The selling point of this series is to place the user in the middle of an apocalypse and have them personally feel the despair of watching on helplessly as the world collapses.
Who would want to feel despair?
(Trailblazer)
Despair? That's the selling point? Who would want that?
Dr. Edward
You may not know this, but being in a happy and harmonious environment for too long can numb one's spirit, and soon, nothing will be able to evoke joy anymore. This is where we come in — to offer a small stimulus of sorts.
My secret partner hopes that you, dear (Mr./Ms.) (Trailblazer), can help to give her a little push in this.
If you can make the mass production and serialization of the Apocalyptic Shadow series a reality, you can be sure that you'll be offered generous material rewards as recompense.
Why me?
(Trailblazer)
Why is your secret partner specifically looking for my help?
Dr. Edward
I'd love to answer you, but I'm not privy to that information. She has the right to keep trade secrets, well, a secret, and I understand and respect that.
Who is "her"?
(Trailblazer)
Who is this secret partner of yours?
Dr. Edward
I'd love to answer you, but I'm not privy to that information. She has the right to keep trade secrets, well, a secret, and I understand and respect that.
Now's not a good time.
(Trailblazer)
Sorry, this isn't a good time.
Dr. Edward
No problem. We're happy to wait till you're available.
Dr. Edward
Do meet with her to discuss the details of your collaboration when you have the time. From what I know, she should be in "a city chiseled out of the Primordial Dreamscape" now.

Speak with the mysterious puppet

Step Description

According to the address given by Dr. Edward, you arrive at "the city chiseled from the Primordial Dreamscape." However, there is no one here that looks like a "collaborative partner." The only thing here is a bizarre puppet. Could this be... Dr. Edward's "partner"?

Dreamflux Reef

According to the address that Dr. Edward provided, you seem to have found that supposed "business partner."

(Trailblazer): "The city chiseled from the Primordial Dreamscape"... Is that puppet over there the one who collaborates with Dr. Edward? Let me check it out.

(Talk to Elegy)

???: "...The unknown forms are captivating, and the elusive shadows dance gracefully."

???: "Everything shall be reborn in the name of Destruction... at the moment of Finality and atop Finality's cliff..."

Who are you?

Elegy: I seek the traces of Finality. You can call me Elegy.

Elegy: Finally, you're here... (Mr./Ms.) (Trailblazer) — the one who looked at the Apocalypse in the eye. I've been waiting for you for a long time.

The puppet wearing a black veil over her face doesn't move, yet you somehow feel that she gave you a small curtsy.

You know me?

Elegy: I've known you for longer than you can imagine, (Mr./Ms.) (Trailblazer).

Elegy: I come from your Finality in search of the shapeless princeone against the current.

Why are you dressed in mourning attire?

Elegy: Because I'm the one who mourns for the dying world.

Elegy: Time is flowing backward, and the world becomes increasingly fragmented every moment in — that's what I mourn for.

Elegy: You're here for those Apocalyptic Shadows, right?

Do you make dream bubbles for Dr. Edward?

Elegy: You can see it that way, but Dr. Edward and I have different destinations. We only complement each other's needs at this momentwhere time intersects.

Elegy: I travel between civilizations at the moment of their obliteration and track down intelligence from countless annihilated worlds. As for Dr. Edward, he attaches more importance to the... "commercial value" of these traces.

Are you a History Fictionologist?

Are you a Messenger from the Garden of Recollection?

Are you a Mourning Actor?

Elegy: No, I'm not mourning the worlds that are alreadyeventually destroyed, but the futurepast that is destined to reach to Finality.

Elegy: Seeking traces of Finality... That is the calling of us Creed Exequies.

Elegy: (Mr./Ms.) (Trailblazer), memory is the breeding ground of dreams. Behind each of the many do-or-die battles you have experienced lies a potential Finality. The traces of Finality can probably be found therein.

Elegy: I'll reward you generously for your help. Would you be willing to share your pastfuture dreams with me?

What should I do?

Elegy: Please close your eyes and let me help you with the backtracking to see Finality's projection...

You close your eyes and hear an elegy. Even the Synesthesia Beacon can't fathom the meaning of the lyrics. You can feel yourself sinking, getting further away from the real world. However, you find the deaths you once narrowly escaped drawing closer.

Nah, I've got better stuff to do.

Elegy: I'll continue my wait here until you are fully prepared.

(If exited out of Apocalyptic Shadow)

Elegy: (Trailblazer), are you ready to gaze at the projection of Finality?

What should I do?

Elegy: Please close your eyes and let me help you with the backtracking to see Finality's projection…

You close your eyes and hear an elegy. You can feel yourself sinking, getting further away from the real world. However, you find the deaths you once narrowly escaped drawing closer.

Nah, I've got better stuff to do.

Elegy: I'll continue my wait here until you are fully prepared.

Complete an Apocalyptic Shadow Challenge

Elegy: ...Although the desperate crises you have experienced did not bring about the Finality, it has made THEIR mumbling much clearer.

Is the apocalypse inevitable?

Elegy: That day will definitelyhas already come.

This battle didn't feel so intense at that time.

Elegy: Your subconscious has tampered with the real experience. The most terrifying experiences do not exist in the outside world but within one's soul.

Elegy: At some point in time earlier, I definitely caught THEIR murmuring. THEY said you would joinhad joined THEM in THEIR journey in the near futurenot too long ago.

Why me?

Elegy: Because you have received THEIR grace.

Elegy: Wherever you walk, you are under THEIR gaze. What you practice is also THEIR prophecy that has already beenyet to be announced. The stars are THEIR eyes, and the breeze is THEIR hands. Every disaster that befalls you is a revelation of Finality.

Elegy: I'll reward you as promised... If possible, please continue assisting me. Those images of the apocalypse can help my search for the shapeless princeone against the current.
