A Glimmer! Blossoming? Echoes of Wild Dreams!

 Talk to Sunna

---

Sunna showed up out of nowhere in the middle of the night! Looks like she needs something — I better hear her out.

(Talk to Sunna)

Sunna: Hehe... Manager, it's me...

Sunna: Um... I'm sorry for coming to see you so late, Manager. But... but I just don't know what to do anymore...

Did something happen?

Just tell me what's up.

Sunna: So here's the thing — after I got back from the secret base last time, inspiration just hit me! I finally figured out how the melody of that song should continue...

Sunna: But after jotting down melody after melody... well... I hit a few snags!

Sunna: I understand it clearly in my mind, but I can't express it, or find that feeling... when the answer suddenly leaps out from inside me!

That's such a vague description.

I think I get it.

Sunna: A—anyway! I'm totally stuck on the lyrics right now, but the deadline is the day after tomorrow. What am I supposed to do?! Manager, do you have any ideas?!

[sic]With you looking at me like that... yeah, the pressure is real!
So... how about we go out for a walk and look for some inspiration?

(Suggest going out for a walk together)

(Check out the Gilded Carrot Day decorations while you're at it)

Sunna: Sounds great! Now that you mention it... I haven't really gotten out much for Gilded Carrot Day this year...

Sunna: Then... Manager, let's head out together right now!

At Sunna's urging, you head to Failume Heights together...

 Head to the cable car at Failume Heights to look for inspiration

---

First stop in the hunt for inspiration: Failume Heights — time to head out with Sunna!

Failume Heights

(Talk to Sunna)

Sunna: Manager, we're here!

Sunna: Wow, this year's Yearlight is even brighter and more dazzling than I imagined... Just looking at it makes me feel all warm and cozy...

You've never come to see it, Sunna?

Sunna: ...Don't laugh at me when I tell you this, Manager...

Sunna: For a while there, I was thinking about the competition every single day. Every time I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but start worrying...

Sunna: As for the Gilded Carrot Day celebration... it got shoved into some tiny corner of my memory ages ago. I can't even think of it anymore!

Sunna: Good thing... good thing you brought me to Failume Heights, Manager! Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have remembered to check out the lanterns until after the festival was over...

Sunna: ...And that would've been such a shame!

This year's lighting ceremony...

...have you seen it, Sunna?

Sunna: Yeh!

Sunna: Our teacher's performance was really amazing. It felt like... a gentle source of warmth that naturally draws people in...

Sunna: Even though I was just watching the stream, I... I couldn't take my eyes off it!

Sunna: Actually... Manager, one of the melodies in my Angels of Delusion song was inspired by the performance at the lantern lighting ceremony—

Sunna: Even though we weren't standing on the same stage as our teacher back then, we sang the same song, passing along the same hopes to everyone...

Sunna: Even if we weren't together, that feeling of "wanting everyone to be happy" was exactly the same!

Sounds awesome!

I'm getting hyped!

Sunna: It's not that great!

Sunna: ...After I finished the melody, I... I got stuck on the lyrics again...

Can I hear it?

Maybe I can help.

Sunna: I—I mean... I don't see why not...

Sunna: I recorded it before I left. Take a good listen...

Sunna takes out a voice recorder and plays a short melody...
As you close your eyes and listen, it feels like you can see dazzling lights and a radiant stage—

Sunna: So... Manager, what do you think?

Sunna: Don't the lyrics feel really happy and bright... like you just want to sing at the top of your lungs...?

"Like a meteor streaking toward the stage lights✦..."

"...I could sing it out loud right now!"

Sunna: Huh—!

Sunna: Wh—What you just said... that's exactly the image I had in my head when I was writing that melody...

Sunna: ...a dazzling source of light seen through layers of fog, racing ahead with hope... until our song rings out across the world, reaching every corner!

Sunna: Ah! I... I think I got it! I have to jot this down quick...

Sunna: ...Thank you, Manager!

Sunna: So... next up, let's head to Lumina Square! That's where the inspiration for the next melody'll come from—

Go now

(Teleport to Lumina Square)

Maybe later.

 Head to Lumina Square to seek inspiration

---

Second stop in the hunt for inspiration: Lumina Square — time to head out with Sunna!

Lumina Square

(Talk to Sunna again, if exited dialogue)

Sunna: Mm... A lot of the Angels of Delusion story takes place at Lumina Square...

Sunna: Manager, let's walk together! I can tell some stories along the way...

Go now

(Teleport to Lumina Square)

Maybe later.

(Talk to Sunna at Lumina Square)

Sunna: Lumina Square... now that's a place with real street life!

Sunna: Crowds coming and going, lively bustling shops, and a whole lotta cats everywhere...

You come here a lot, huh?

Sunna: ...Yeah, whether it's part-time work or selling tickets, I always end up coming to Lumina Square...

Sunna: But... when I'm just walking down the street, I can't help but zone out and go off to do other stuff...

Sunna: Oh! B—But hey, that's not my fault...

Sunna: The noodles are delicious, the teamilk's tasty, the movies are great... and there's Orchidea's flower shop — every time I pass by, it puts me in a good mood...

Sunna: Under the circumstances, getting distracted... is only natural, right?

Sounds like a blast...

You gotta enjoy life, right?!

Sunna: ...Right!

Sunna: This is where the Angels of Delusion spent so, so many good times...

Sunna: They're just... moments from the past that make me smile every time I remember them. That's the feeling I poured into this melody...

Sunna: Manager, Manager! Just like that... Can you take a listen?

Sunna takes out a voice recorder and plays a short melody...
When you close your eyes and listen, it feels like you can see the smiles of the Angels of Delusion.

Sunna: Um, Manager... do you have any ideas that could be turned into lyrics?

An unbelievably casual blown kiss❤

The cutest wink > <

A hint of playful mischief...?

Sunna: That... That's the feeling!

Sunna: That's what I thought about when I wrote this part! The smiles of Nangong and Aria... I just didn't know how to put it into words...

Sunna: Manager... That's exactly what I was thinking!

Sunna: ...I made a note of it! Once I get back, I just need to polish it up a bit...

Sunna: Oh, and now for the last part...

Sunna: ...I wanna go somewhere... somewhere I can see the ocean and the stars!

I know where to go.

(Teleport to Fantasy Resort)

Maybe later.

 Head to Fantasy Resort to find some inspiration

Third stop in the hunt for inspiration: Fantasy Resort — time to head out with Sunna!

Fantasy Resort

(idle)

Sunna: Looking at the stars always puts me in a good mood...

(Talk to Sunna again if "Maybe later." was selected)

Sunna: Shimmering stars, a gentle ocean breeze, and the sound of rolling waves...

Sunna: Just thinking about it feels... so peaceful, so blissful!

Sunna: So Manager... shall we head out now?

Go now

(Teleport to Fantasy Resort)

Maybe later.

(Talk to Sunna at Fantasy Resort)

Sunna: Ah! I remember this place...

Sunna: ...It was here last time that I had an amazing, music festival experience and met Ms. Astra! Back then, it was so full of energy...

Sunna: Now, even though it's the same sea and the same tides, it feels completely different. There aren't many people around either...

Makes me feel very insignificant.

Feels like it's just us left in the world.

Sunna: Yeah, I was thinking the same...

Sunna: But I can still express my feelings through my music... and make myself into a... little light of my own.

Sunna: That's the feeling I wanted to capture when I wrote this melody... Manager, give it a listen!

Sunna takes out a voice recorder and plays a short melody...
Listening with eyes closed, it's like watching stars twinkling in the night sky.

Sunna: Manager... what kind of lyrical inspiration comes to mind?

"Look at that blue comet streaking across the night sky ✦"

"Falling for me too...↗"

Sunna: ...Yeah... that's exactly what I was thinking!

Sunna: The world's huge, and we're tiny, like specs of dust floating in this massive universe.

Sunna: I—I'm just a very small, very ordinary person!

Sunna: ...but even I want people to see me, to shine in my own way...

Sunna: Well... Manager, I think I've got all the inspiration I need for the lyrics! Just one last thing...

Where else do you wanna go?

One last adventure?

Sunna: Hehe... you got me.
Here's the thing! To tie all these scattered thoughts together, I still need... uh... "that final decisive piece"!

Sunna: To find that moment, I wanna head back to the secret base and walk that path one more time... the path of the Angels of Delusion.

Sunna: So, Manager... can we go together?

Let's go!

(Enter combat)

Maybe later.

(Open tutorial [Character Intro] Sunna)

(Ongoing)

Sunna: Manager, lemme tell you a secret...

Sunna: The first time I visited the Ballet Twins, I would've been totally lost if it weren't for Nangong...

Sunna: Yeah... and then... I got surrounded by Ethereals.

(After encountering the first wave of enemies)

Sunna: Whoa! ...So many monsters!

(After encountering the second wave of enemies)

Sunna: T—There's no end to this!

(After defeating the second enemies)

Sunna: Then we head this way—

(After defeating the third wave of enemies)

Sunna: Go up from here, and we're almost there...

(Approach the secret base)

Sunna: ...It hasn't been long since I last came here...

Sunna: But... it feels totally different this time.

(Interact with Take a Break)

No Ethereals to bother you, no unnecessary noise...
Just you and Sunna, chilling for a bit in this secret base.

Sunna's eyes are sparkling, and in the gentle breeze, it's like she's got a ton of things she wants to tell you...

It's been a beautiful journey.

I had a blast tonight too!

I'll come with you!

I'll keep quiet!

Sixth Street

(Talk to Sunna)

Sunna: Ah, is the performance about to start... Don't be nervous, Sunna. You've practiced so many times already. You'll definitely do great this time...

Sunna: You're not alone, you're surrounded by people who support you...

Aria: Ahhh, my leg — where'd my leg accessory go...?

Nangong Yu: Wait, isn't that just a virtual projection, Aria?!

Aria: Y—Yeah... I guess I saw wrong, s—sorry about that, I'm just a little nervous...

Nangong Yu: I get why Sunna's nervous, but what's got YOU all wound up?

Aria: H—Hey, I'm just hyped to see what Sunna can do...

Sunna: You don't need to worry! I already checked everything ahead of time!

Sunna: When the intro ends, Nangong, remember to step a bit to the left ahead of time. That cue is easy to mess up. During the chorus, Aria, you have to wave to the audience too... that part tends to go wrong as well.

Aria: Wow... You're suddenly so reliable, Sunna...

Nangong Yu: Heh, you're finally starting to look the part.

Sunna: Hmph! I always looked the part!

Sunna: Yeah, I'm all set.

Sunna: My body, my heart... they're both ready for this stage.

Sunna: If I were alone, I'd never have come this far.

Sunna: But I'm not alone... I have so many reliable companions. If I fall, someone will help me back up. And if I can't keep going, we'll support each other, and keep moving forward together.

Cecilia: Sunna, Nangong, Aria — everything's set, time to make your entrance!

When Delusions Resonate

(Cutscene plays)

Angels of Delusion: We'll keep running

Angels of Delusion: Keep dreaming

Angels of Delusion: And keep singing...

Angels of Delusion: One day

Angels of Delusion: Angels of Delusion will stand on a bigger stage...

Angels of Delusion: And spread our voices across all of New Eridu—

Angels of Delusion: This one

Angels of Delusion: Is for those who embrace their delusions in their heart!

Angels of Delusion: Thank you, everyone!

Miller: Ah... it's you, (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / Ms.Ms.Text for Belle‍) Manager.

Miller: That was a great performance, wasn't it? Even a regular guy like me couldn't help but get swept up in that tidal wave of energy, totally immersed in the sea of music—

Really?

You liked it that much?

Miller: Of course. I only place my bets on targets worth investing in, and just now, the infectious energy the Angels of Delusion showed just now was without question.

Miller: Their numbers were skyrocketing throughout the livestream too... seems everyone watching came to the same conclusion I did.

Miller: Based on that performance and the data, I'll be giving the Angels of Delusion an excellent rating... so you can relax, (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / MissMissText for Belle‍) Manager.

Ahem... Thanks for the support!

Uh... we hope to see you back at 404 soon?

Berner: Tsk, that's a little over the top, Miller.

Berner: But... that was one hell of a performance. Congratulations to you all, and not just for winning the competition, but because I heard the Angels of Delusion's soul through the music.

Berner: "Holding onto their dreams, running ever forward, singing at the top of their lungs until eternity..." What an incredible delusion.

Berner: Maybe one day, they'll become New Eridu's brightest stars... just like their teacher.

Berner: Until then, I'll keep holding onto hope... for them.

 Talk to each of the Angels of Delusion

---

The show wrapped up perfectly! The Angels of Delusion are in high spirits, so let's go chat with everyone and share the hype!

Sixth Street

(Talk to Sunna)

Sia: The performance was incredible... the stage design was so unique, and... one song in particular sounded unbelievably good...

Sia: Little Sunna, you really did it... *sobbing*...

Sunna: Miss Sia! D—Don't cry! I—I'm starting to get all choked up too...

Sunna: Waaah! The tears... I can't hold them back anymore... A—Anyway, thanks for your support.

Sunna: I know... Without the Delulus' support and encouragement all this time, there would be no Angels of Delusion today...

The two clung to each other, choking back sobs, until Miss Sia took out a well-known scrapbook...
...The last time she saw it, beyond the fans' supportive messages, there was one sentence that had left Sunna deeply hurt.

Sia: I came today because I wanted to return this to you, Sunna.
The person who wrote that line has realized they were wrong... and asked me to pass along their apology.

Sia: I... I don't think you need to forgive him!

Sia: But I think you should hear this, at the very least: the songs you write, and the light you shine on stage, are truly incredible... you're one of a kind, the brightest there is.

Sunna: I... I get it! I'll keep those words close to my heart.

Sunna: And thank you, Miss Sia!

(Talk to Nangong Yu)

Nangong Yu: Even with the crowd cheering so loudly and half the venue in the way... you still managed to spot me...

Nangong Yu: ...You're very perceptive, Manager!

The view here is great.

You can get a clear view of the lobby.

Nangong Yu: Yeh, from here I can see everyone — the strict judges, the fans cheering us on, and... Sunna and Aria.

Nangong Yu: Everyone's caught up in this "delusion," even after it's over, they don't wanna wake up... And the ones who gave them this dream? That's us.

It's a pretty wild feeling.

Is there something on your mind, Nangong?

Nangong Yu: ...Yeah.

Nangong Yu: Manager, you might've heard, ever since I was a kid, I've always been what people call a "model student"...

Nangong Yu: But somewhere along the way, everything began to lose its color.... Like I'm trapped under some invisible barrier, unable to really "desire" anything anymore.

Nangong Yu: Until... I met Sunna, I met Aria, and we formed the Angels of Delusion... and they spoke with such excitement about their dreams, their eyes sparkling...

Nangong Yu: That's when it hit me, that I finally had something I wanted to do. I wanted to make their dreams come true.

Nangong Yu: I held their hands and walked forward with them... but I thought it was all out of duty, not love.

You actually like the stage too, don't you?

You always look so happy when you're up on stage.

Nangong Yu: ...Yeah. Before I knew it, I fell in love with moments like these, fell in love with the stage, and found my own dream...

Nangong Yu: I dream of the day... when our music blankets all of New Eridu.

Nangong Yu: When that time comes, Manager... will you be there cheering us on?

I will!

Of course.

(Talk to Aria)

Aria: A successful performance, one star; approval from the judges makes it two stars...

Aria: Mhm, and get tons of cheers from their fans, three stars...

What're you up to, Aria?

Aria: …Oh! Manager, you're here.

Aria: Me? Hehe, I'm calculating how many wishes came true today, so I know how many stars to drop in the jar.

It's almost full.

Aria: Mm-hmm! I noticed that too...

Aria: The path of "delusion" we've walked together... somehow it's gotten so long, stretched so far... so far that even a jar can't hold it all anymore...

Aria: Later, I'm gonna show it to Sunna and Nangong and tell them... the Angels of Delusion just pulled off something incredible again!

(After talking to all three members)

A moment later...
The angels huddle together again, still chatting about something.
They spot you, and all look up at once, their faces lighting up with excitement.

Aria: Manager, Manager! This time, our account's popularity is going through the roof!

Nangong Yu: This is the biggest surge in popularity we've seen since the contest started!

Sunna: So many likes, so many comments...

Amid the excited chatter and buzz, the livestream account interface opens...

I realize we're ready. Our hearts are ready for this stage. As we move forward, we'll hold each other's hands and keep running, keep singing our hearts out... One day, the Angels of Delusion will stand on an even bigger stage, and our voices will reach every corner of New Eridu— This song... is for everyone who dares to have delusions! Thank you all!

You've definitely earned my vote on New Eridu's Rising Star.	4F
	Anonymous Don't get it, but sounds pretty dope. Song slaps too, gonna toss 'em a vote	5F

Sunna: Everyone... everyone keeps saying how good the song is, and...

Nangong Yu: ...And, the lead singer's super cute, the captain's super cute, and the one in the center spot is crazy cute too — there, I finished it for Sunna!

Sunna: Nangong! You're interrupting again! That's not even the point... What really matters is that the audience actually accepts us, they think we're amazing...

Aria: I get it, and also... through this competition, we've spread our "Delusion" to everyone—

Aria: Oh yeah! Nangong, Sunna, I also brought our "Wish Jar" over... it's totally full now!

Nangong Yu: Wow!

Sunna: Y—Yeah... for real.

That's a good sign.

The Angels of Delusion's wish will come true.

Sunna: Really? Okay, I'll take your word for it!

Sunna: Um... Manager, could you take a photo of us with the Wish Jar?

Sunna: ...My heart feels so full right now, like I'm riding a hot air balloon soaring toward the horizon... it's an incredibly, unbelievably happy feeling...

Sunna: I wanna... I wanna capture this moment!

Sure!

Men in Black Suits: This way, everyone!

Sunna: ...What in Eridu did Nangong prepare?

Sunna: She's being so secretive about it!

(Talk to Nangong Yu)

Nangong Yu: So, uh... heads up, everyone, don't freak out when you see what's coming next~

Aria: Wh—What's up?

Sunna: Every time... every time Nangong gets that guilty look on her face and won't spill — you just know she's about to cook up something huge!

What're you planning, Nangong?

Give us a heads up!

Nangong Yu: Uh... nothing that special, really.

Nangong Yu: It's just... just a helicopter, that's all. It'll be at the parking lot in a bit...

Sunna: Wh—Wh—What?!

Nangong Yu: Anyway... we're running out of time, so let's just head out... we can talk about everything else once we're on board!

You waited for a short while together with the Angels of Delusion...

Aria: This still doesn't feel real...

Sunna: Am I... am I dreaming?! Wh—What do I do now?!

Sunna: Aria, go on, give Nangong a pinch and see if she snaps at me...!

Nangong Yu: Huh?!

Aria: O—Or maybe... Sunna, could you touch my hand for a second? I was really nervous just now, my logic core was running super slow, and now it feels all cold...

Sunna: O—Okay...

Sunna grabs Aria's hand and immediately flinches at how cold it feels...
As the Angels of Delusion playfully bicker with each other, everyone heads back to 404 together.

And so concludes the Angels of Delusion's journey through New Eridu's Rising Star...
