Dialogue

Icon Dialogue Story Head to the usual spot and talk with Remielle

Lindverne says Remielle's already waiting at the "usual spot." Go find her now.
(Ongoing)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Remielle...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Is she (‍really alright?really alright? / okay now too?okay now too?‍)
(Idle)
(SiblingSibling): Lady Lindverne, do you need help with wrapping things up?
Lindverne: Don't worry, we've got this.
Sigrid: Our guests should not be put in danger.
(Talk to (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍), optional)
(SiblingSibling): (‍Wise, did you eat enough? I picked up some limited-edition Roscaelifer pudding for you. How 'bout trying it after dinner? Still feeling worn out? Want your adorable little sister to give you a back massage?Wise, did you eat enough? I picked up some limited-edition Roscaelifer pudding for you. How 'bout trying it after dinner? Still feeling worn out? Want your adorable little sister to give you a back massage? Tooltip for Wise, did you eat enough? I picked up some limited-edition Roscaelifer pudding for you. How 'bout trying it after dinner? Still feeling worn out? Want your adorable little sister to give you a back massage? / Belle, you full yet? How about getting a bit more food? You just went through a rough time. You've got to be exhausted. Do you want a shoulder massage?Belle, you full yet? How about getting a bit more food? You just went through a rough time. You've got to be exhausted. Do you want a shoulder massage?‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk Whoa, whoa, whoa, why are you being so weirdly... caring?
(SiblingSibling): (‍Hey, that makes it sound like I'm never caring! What's wrong with wanting to show I care about you more!Hey, that makes it sound like I'm never caring! What's wrong with wanting to show I care about you more! / I'm always caring, you know that. It's just that you're shouldering so much. I can't help but be more caring now.I'm always caring, you know that. It's just that you're shouldering so much. I can't help but be more caring now.‍)
(SiblingSibling): (‍Wise,Wise, / Belle,Belle,‍) you're my... our hero. When we lost contact with you and were stuck at Amber Hall, Billy and Cissia were freaking out, but I knew... I knew you'd turn things around and make it back safe.
(SiblingSibling): Because we're both Phaethon, and I have faith in my family. I believe that no matter the crisis, you'll never be defeated. You'll just keep getting back up, again and again.
(SiblingSibling): But... I'm glad you made it home safe... I'm... so glad...
Icon Dialogue Talk Are you getting all choked up?
(SiblingSibling): (‍You'd be choking up too!You'd be choking up too! / ...So what if I am? Hmph....So what if I am? Hmph.‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk (Head pat)
(SiblingSibling): (‍...Keep going....Keep going. / ...Knock it off. It's kind of embarrassing in front of others....Knock it off. It's kind of embarrassing in front of others.‍)
(SiblingSibling): Oh, and about Truvia... I hear she's still unconscious, but there's a decent chance she pulls through. Once she wakes up... let's go talk with her together.
Icon Dialogue Talk Yeah, together.
(SiblingSibling): Yeah... I hope it goes well.
(Talk to Lindverne, optional)
Lindverne: Something else on your mind, (‍Wise?Wise? / Belle?Belle?‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk About your plan with Remie...
Icon Dialogue Talk Why did you end up going with this plan?
Lindverne: Oh, that? Most of it was actually worked out between Sigrid and Remielle. If I recall correctly, they had a secret chat while you were busy with the device after returning from Meridian Hall.
Lindverne: It wasn't until Remielle dragged Girtablullu into the Hollow and Sigrid took over command of the situation that she finally had a chance to contact me. That is when she informed me of Remielle's suggestion.
Lindverne: Once I was caught up on the plan, I agreed. Back then, having Remielle play the "culprit" was probably the best move we had.
Lindverne: After all, with the attack on Truvia and what happened with Dracaene, there had to be an explanation. If we left the culprit up in the air for too long...
Icon Dialogue Talk Not every guest on the island came with good intentions.
Icon Dialogue Talk You're saying someone's gonna use this to stir up trouble?
Lindverne: There's too many people watching Roscaelifer and looking to profit. This would be the perfect opportunity to interfere.
Lindverne: And the mastermind pulling strings behind all of this would definitely fan the flames.
Lindverne: To keep things from spiraling out of control, the only move was to go after Remielle as the culprit and stabilize the situation for now. However, we don't plan to actually do anything to her. This whole thing is really just a performance put on for those foreign guests.
Lindverne: Of course, Remielle's abnormal physical condition and putting out a warrant for you, or rather, for Pyrois, was an accident. We really didn't expect you to just charge in like that.
Icon Dialogue Talk So she put that much thought into it...
Icon Dialogue Talk Seriously, keeping me in the dark like that...
Lindverne: Anyway, that is everything I know. She did help us out, so I'm willing to turn a blind eye to her whole conflict with Eldreda... I just think there's still room for more discussion between us.
Lindverne: As for what else she had in mind... You should ask her yourself at your... usual spot.
(Talk to Sigrid, optional)
Sigrid: (‍Wise...Wise... / Belle...Belle...‍) I must apologise. When Remielle and I decided to keep this plan from you, I already braced myself for your anger and resentment. So go ahead. Please.
Icon Dialogue Talk No.
Icon Dialogue Talk You have your reasons.
Sigrid: ...Thank you. Honestly, I have been second-guessing myself this entire time... whether I made the right call or not. When I first found you hiding in the Retroflux Zone, and then when I found out what Remielle was really planning.
Sigrid: With Lady Lindverne away, I did not possess the confidence to handle a crisis like this on my own... or the courage to fully put my trust in you.
Icon Dialogue Talk Thanks for putting your trust in us in the end.
Icon Dialogue Talk We couldn't have done this without you.
Sigrid: Hearing you say that means a lot to me. The look in your eyes when you swore you'd save Lady Dracaene, and Remielle's unwavering determination... they reminded me of Lady Lindverne. You two steeled my resolve.
Sigrid: You are admirable, true warriors. I want to express my gratitude to you personally, as Sigrid de L'Azur, not as the Deputy Administrative Director of the Airspace Patrol Department. If you are willing, how about we do something together, the four of us, including Lady Lindverne, as friends.
Icon Dialogue Talk What did you have in mind?
Sigrid: Watching the complete "Ridu's Agent 006" film series. I had a private chat with Remielle and found out we both love this film series from a hundred years ago. Lady Lindverne was the one who recommended it to me, and therefore, she, of course, enjoys it too.
Sigrid: We decided to pick a night to pull an all-nighter with a full marathon of "Ridu's Agent 006." I'm sure it will be a wonderful time with you there as well.
Icon Dialogue Talk (The retro nostalgia is practically tangible...)
Icon Dialogue Talk (Better not say that out loud...)
(Talk to Billy and Cissia, optional)
Billy: That was way too close, we almost got got... Good thing (‍Wise'sWise's / Belle'sBelle's‍) skills are superior!
Cissia: But hey, while you were out there on the front lines, your amazing Public Security Precinct Specialist was putting in work at Amber Hall too! I made sure to keep Billy and (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) safe, and I'm the only reason they're standing here now!
Billy: Hey, Cissia! That's not what happened at all! When that Airspace Patrol soldier tried to confiscate your egg pudding, I was the one who got him to back off with my killer aura!
Cissia: Urgh, fine... Billy, you pulled your weight too! Let's call it fifty-fifty!
Icon Dialogue Talk Good job, both of you.
Icon Dialogue Talk It's thanks to you both that I could carry out my plan without worrying.
Cissia: Whoa... When you put it like that, I almost feel embarrassed taking credit! Okay, truth is, the soldiers didn't really do anything to us. Apparently, they got some kind of notice and just... stood outside Amber Hall, keeping us from leaving. That's it. Nobody actually tried to steal my egg pudding.
Icon Dialogue Talk (Probably Sigrid's orders...)
Icon Dialogue Talk (Thank you, Sigrid...)
Billy: Even so, being stuck at home with no clue if you were okay or not was maddening and made me feel so damn helpless... never want to go through something like that again.
Billy: That's it, I've made up my mind! Next time, I'm sticking right by your side, Manager! We can't let the enemy have another opportunity like that again!
Cissia: Huh...? Oh yes yes yes! Me me me! I want in too!

The Time Between "Accomplices"

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story The Time Between "Accomplices"

Video Summary: And just like that, we're bona fide "partners-in-crime."
Story Description: When (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍) meets Remielle again, she has recovered somewhat and is about to head to Vyrium with Dracaene for treatment. She tells (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍) more about the Sunbringer... yet when it comes to the true nature of the Sunbringer, she still seems to be holding something back.


Remielle: Rawrr! Good morning, rawrr!
Icon Dialogue Talk You've recovered already...?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Remielle, y—you've recovered already?
Remielle: Oh? Were you hoping I'd act a little more "in distress," so you'd have a chance to take care of me?
Remielle: Hmm... I could play along with that. Shall we start over, then?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): It's okay, there's no point when I already know... So, did you come to say goodbye?
Icon Dialogue Talk You have Mr. Roar syndrome now?!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): There he is! Mr. Roar, as Remielle!
Remielle: Umm... wait, that won't work at all. How does the enormous Mr. Roar even disguise himself as me?
Remielle: Although... he might pass if we give him a pair of fake wings...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Mr. Roar in your clothes...? No, (‍I think not!I think not! / no. Absolutely not!no. Absolutely not!‍) It's weird no matter how I imagine (‍it.it. / it!it!‍)
Remielle: No? Well, I thought it might be cute...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm really struggling to see the appeal... Anyway, you're here early. Did you come to... say goodbye?
Remielle: I guess... you can say so. Though it's only for the time being.
Remielle: Lindverne and the others probably mentioned it already. I'll be recovering in Vyrium, and while I'm there... I'll help stabilize Dracaene's condition.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Lady Dracaene... what exactly is happening to her?
Remielle: She... will likely remain unconscious for a long while. After all, having a Karma Core taken from you is no trivial matter.
Remielle: I misjudged the situation. At the time, I thought the Karma Core was still inside her, so when Bashmu suddenly appeared, I paid it little mind.
Remielle: But the truth was... while we managed to rescue Dracaene, the Karma Core remained inside Girtablullu... and was devoured by Bashmu.
Icon Dialogue Talk D—Does that mean Bashmu...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍That can't be good!That can't be good! / That's terrible!That's terrible!‍) Does that mean Bashmu becomes the Enchainer instead of (‍Girtablullu?Girtablullu? / Girtablullu?!Girtablullu?!‍)
Remielle: Yes. It seems far more intelligent than Girtablullu. But of course, the "culprit" behind all this may have planned it that way from the beginning.
Remielle: Clearly, Girtablullu couldn't have done it. So, who lured it to Booastrum with the Singularity Leakage?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): The real culprit... is still hiding somewhere in Roscaelifer...
Remielle: Correct. Though... I don't think we need to worry too much at the moment.
Remielle: Dracaene likely only possessed one-third of the Karma Core, which means the other two parts are still inside Eldreda and Lindverne.
Icon Dialogue Talk Then, Lady Sunbringer, she...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Right, I wanted to ask, you said Karma Cores are sealed in Void Hunter Weapons, but why is Lady Sunbringer's split into three and stored in three different bodies? What's really going on with her...?
Remielle: Yes... Void Hunter weapons. Perhaps... that's what the Sunbringers truly are.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍What...?What...? / Huh...?Huh...?‍)
Remielle: Oh, come to think of it, I don't think I've told you yet — the truth behind the so-called "attempted assassination of Lady Sunbringer."
Remielle: The truth is... I really did come to Roscaelifer in search of Sunbringer. Not the three who stand here today, but the one I once knew.
Remielle: And then I saw Eldreda. Do you know that strange feeling? How someone can look so much like her yet... not be her.
Remielle: Somehow, after reclaiming Thaumiel... the remnant inside it resonated with the Karma Core fragment in me, and suddenly I... was able to sense the Karma Cores within the Sunbringers.
Remielle: Which is very strange. Sunbringer didn't fuse with the Karma Core and became an Enchainer, rather... the Karma Core was divided into three parts, and stored within the three Sunbringers.
Remielle: Which is just like... Void Hunter weapons.
Icon Dialogue Talk Void Hunter weapons?!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You mean... the three Lady Sunbringers we've met are actually... living Void Hunter weapons?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Mo... That doesn't make sense.Mo... That doesn't make sense. / No, no, no. There's no way that's true...No, no, no. There's no way that's true...‍)
Remielle: Well, it's only a working theory. There are still plenty of gaps in it, but it does already answer a lot of questions.
Remielle: The most important question I have is... where is the Sunbringer I knew?
Remielle: I don't believe she would die so easily. Yet somehow... she just vanished from everyone's memories one day, and then... she became the three Sunbringers we know.
Remielle: So until I find my answer, I suspect I'll be staying in Roscaelifer for quite some time.
Remielle: Still, some proper rest is greatly appreciated, at least for the next few days...
Remielle: ...
Icon Dialogue Talk I'll go get you some breakfast!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Uh... there should still be (‍breakfast downstairs.breakfast downstairs. / some breakfast downstairs!some breakfast downstairs!‍) Wait (‍here for a second,here for a second, / here,here,‍) I'll go bring some up for (‍you.you. / you!you!‍)
...
???: ...
Remielle: How many times have I told you before? You really, really need to stop sneaking up on people like a ghost.
Remielle: You and that emotionless girl... do you really have to show up every time someone's having a pleasant moment?
Remielle: I agreed to join this little covenant of yours, but I did not agree to being stalked all day and harassed whenever you feel like it.
???: Remielle... do you truly believe the Sunbringers are Void Hunter weapons?
Remielle: ...
Remielle: Of course not.
???: Then why tell (‍himhim / herher‍) something you know isn't true?
Remielle: Hm? What's the matter? I merely told a small lie. Hardly the first time.
Remielle: Why? Are you... getting nervous?
???: Don't answer my question with another question, Remielle.
Remielle: *sigh* Alright, fine. I'll explain.
Remielle: It's simple. Because sooner or later... (‍he'she's / she'sshe's‍) going to uncover the truth behind the Sunbringers, whether I tell (‍himhim / herher‍) or not.
Remielle: But... now is not the time to reveal the answer yet.
Remielle: For (‍hishis / herher‍) sake, for the three Sunbringers, and for Roscaelifer.
???: So... you don't think the three of them know who they truly are, either?
Remielle: Perhaps. I can't say for certain myself.
Remielle: But... you know the truth. And so do I.
Remielle: There's only ever been one question of real importance to us...
Remielle: The Sunbringer I once knew, and the Sunbringer you've been searching for...
Remielle: Where is she?

Serpico: ...How pitiful.

Serpico: What did they call that monster again...? Right! Girtablullu.
Serpico: To think it wounded you this badly... its will to survive is truly frightening.

Serpico: It also got a lot smarter ever since it made contact with the Karma Core. Hehe, came embarrassingly close to actually pulling it off. How impressive.
Serpico: But do not worry. Our "old classmate" still handled everything.
