Gameplay Notes

Ferla will appear as the Anxious Investigator beside Sān-Z STUDIO between 6AM and 6PM.
This commission has two endings, depending on whether or not Little Beetroot is saved.
- In order to rescue it, the fastest route needs to be taken: right, left, down, down, top-right, bottom-left, up (after defeating the enemy), right. For more details, see Bangboo Limbo (HDD) § Gameplay Notes.
- If Little Beetroot was not saved on the first playthrough, replaying the HDD commission and saving Little Beetroot that time will lead to the "true ending," even if Abigail was already spoken to on Sixth Street.‍^{[verification needed]}
During the HDD commission, 2 achievements can be awarded:
- Saving Investigator Jeff in time awards the Hollow Exploration Guide achievement Get Up, Time for Work!.
- Saving Little Beetroot in time awards the Hollow Exploration Guide achievement Little Bangboo Hand-in-Hand.

Pre-Commission Dialogue

(Idle): Anxious Investigator: What should we do...?

(Talk to the Anxious Investigator next to Sān-Z STUDIO)

Anxious Investigator: I don't think I'll be going. I'll just say I caught a cold.

What's up?

(Continue commission)

(Leave)

(Sounds trivial like relationship problems or something. I'll stay out of it.)
(Exit dialogue)

Anxious Investigator: Oh, it's nothing. It's just a personal matter...

Anxious Investigator: Wait! Actually, it isn't super personal, so could I... ask for your help? It's a really, really small thing!

What do you need help with?

Let's hear how small it is.

Anxious Investigator: Please head over to the metro station across the street and look for a girl in HIA's uniform. Her name is Abigail. She has short green hair, a face mask, and a Bangboo by her side! You definitely can't miss her!

Anxious Investigator: If you see her, please pass on a message for me. Tell her Ferla isn't going.

Why don't you do it yourself?

The metro station is really close by. Just tell her yourself.

Ferla: Ugh, it's because I don't know how to tell her! Because I'm standing her up, and I don't have the courage to do it face to face... So, could you help me pass a message? Thank you so much! Please! I'm counting on you!

(Idle): Anxious Investigator: Please~

(Talk to Ferla again, optional): Ferla: Please, deliver my message at the metro station. I'll just hide here for now... You know, she might blow up, yell at me, and run over here to give me a beating...; Will she yell at me?; Will she hit me?; Ferla: No, no way! It's only a possibility for me. She won't do that to a random stranger! Don't worry, we're professional investigators. So we never raise our hands at others, unless we really can't stop ourselves...

(Idle): Abigail: Why is it taking so long...?; Little Beetroot: En-nah...

(Talk to Abigail by the Lumina Square Metro Station entrance)

Abigail: Sorry... I'm waiting for someone. Please visit the Hollow Investigative Association if you require assistance. Oh... It's the black and red building across the street.

I'm not here to seek assistance.

Abigail: You don't need assistance... Then you're here to see me? Do you need something?

I'm here to pass a message on.

Abigail: A message?

(Both choices lead to the following)

Ferla isn't going!!!

Abigail: Wh—What?! She isn't going?! FERLA!! How dare she stand me up like that?!

Ferla isn't going...

Abigail: Huh? She isn't going? Ugh... she stood me up and even sent someone else to tell me...

Abigail: I—I refuse to accept this! We agreed to rescue him together! How could she break her promise in the time it took to make a report to the Association?!

Rescue?

Rescue who?

Abigail: We lost contact with a colleague of ours, Jeff, a few days ago. We have a rough idea of which Hollow he's trapped in, so we planned to travel there together... I'm heading back to the Association to look for Ferla!

Abigail: No, knowing her, she's probably hiding from me right now... I knew it! Even my calls aren't going through... Hmph! Forget it! I'll just go myself! I have Little Beetroot with me anyway!

Abigail seems to be sulking and walks off into the metro station, and the Bangboo known as Little Beetroot immediately follows after her.

(Idle): Ferla: How was it?

(Talk to Ferla): Ferla: So? Did you find Abby? How did she react to it?; She walked off into the metro station. She seemed really angry.; She said she'll rescue him herself. She seemed really angry.; Ferla: That... does sound like her...; She said a colleague is trapped in a Hollow...; Ferla: Yeah... We lost contact with one of our colleagues, Jeff, a few days ago. Abigail suddenly came up to me this morning and happily proclaimed she knew where Jeff was trapped.; Ferla: I was overjoyed too, of course. So, I asked her where he was, and her reply was "In my dreams."; What? Where?!; Huh? In her dreams?; Ferla: Actually, Abigail has these strange dreams quite often. For example, she'll dream of a 50% sale at a chocolate store, or a cat stuck in a tree.; Ferla: Although they aren't accurate down to the details, they are quite reliable overall. But that will never convince the association to issue an operations permit, so the request was immediately rejected...; Ferla: Sigh, I dare not act on my own without the Association's authorization. You understand, right? I'm not heartless, nor did I want to do that to her. But... I'm just a really rule-abiding investigator...; Ferla: Ugh, I wonder how she's doing. She may have entered the Hollow, and I can't help her at all without the Association's authorization...; Maybe you can try posting on the Inter-Knot.; Maybe you can seek help from a Proxy.; Ferla: What? How do you know about the Inter... No way, I can't! I absolutely cannot! That's expressly prohibited by the HIA!; Ferla: Did you say that to get a reaction out of me? Oh, I see! Now it makes sense... You're a HIA plain-clothes investigator tasked with investigating investigator conduct!; That's not true!; Are you trying to make a tongue twister?; Ferla: Don't worry, I'm very disciplined! I will never do anything that violates the Association's rules! I guarantee it!; (It seems Ferla will never enter the Hollow without the Association's authorization. Are Abigail's dreams that accurate? Maybe seeing is believing?)
(Exploration Commission now available: Bangboo Limbo)

Dialogue

Enter the Hollow and find Abigail

Has Abigail entered the Hollow? Did she really see the future in her dreams? Go find out the truth.

Lumina Square

(Idle): Ferla: Maybe I should submit another application...?

(Talk to Ferla again, optional): Ferla: Maybe I should submit the request again... Oh, don't worry, Conduct Investigator! I always abide by the Association's rules and regulations! And I won't act on my own without the Association's authorization!; Do you really have conduct investigators?; Ferla: Actually, I've never heard of a position like that in the Association...; Ferla: But I'm sure a position like that would be top-secret, so ordinary investigators would never know it existed, and my lack of knowledge proves exactly that!

(Complete the HDD commission)

Talk to Ferla

Abigail is safe and sound. Time to talk to Ferla.

Lumina Square

(Idle): Ferla: Great...

(Talk to Ferla near the HIA Club)

Ferla: Great... Oh, it's you!

You look happy.

You look relieved.

Ferla: Yeah, it's because Abigail returned safely and is getting a comprehensive physical examination as we speak. How could I not be happy? I can finally relax!

Ferla: I was dying from anxiety, but just as I was about to submit my nineteenth request to the Association, I heard that a kind soul rescued Abigail!

Ferla: She didn't say a word about who rescued her, but it looks like she knows. So, why does she refuse to say a word?

Maybe it was a Proxy?

Ferla: A Proxy? That's absolutely impossible! The Association expressly prohibits any work or business dealings between investigators and Proxies. Abigail would never violate the rules!

Maybe it was a Hollow Raider?

Ferla: A Hollow Raider? That's absolutely impossible! The Association expressly prohibits any work or business dealings between investigators and Hollow Raiders. Abigail would never violate the rules!

Ferla: You must be saying this to get a reaction out of me... Could it be... Ugh! You really are a conduct investigator!

Ferla: Please listen to me. Abigail is a super rule-abiding investigator! It's true! She's just like me! I guarantee it!

(Idle): Ferla: Who saved her...?

(Talk to Ferla again, optional): Ferla: I can't figure out who would have gone to the Hollow and rescued her... I'll just have to wait until she's willing to tell me.

Post-Commission Dialogue

If Little Beetroot was not saved

(Idle): Abigail: Expressing gratitude is a basic courtesy...

(Talk to Abigail next to Howl's Newsstand): Abigail: I just can't thank you enough...; Abigail: Without your help, I'd be nothing more than a lifeless body in the Hollows by now.; This is...?; Unnamed Bangboo: Ehn-nah-nhu, nu nu-na.
(A pleasure to meet you. I'm the new Bangboo assistant assigned to Abigail.); Abigail: It's just like Little Beetroot, right?; Abigail: Bangboo issued by the HIA all have a fixed style, so they all end up looking identical.; Abigail: I'm lucky enough to still be alive, but it's just hard to feel happy about it, thinking how my Little Beetroot lost control and got stuck in there...; Actually, Little Beetroot didn't lose control; Abigail: It clearly lost control when it stormed out of the safe house...; Abigail: Ah.; Abigail: Ether levels in the safe house were significantly lower than outside, so Little Beetroot didn't lose control — it just resumed default operations.; Abigail: But why did it leave the safe house and run off to such a dangerous place?; What was its top-level priority?; Abigail: Ensuring the safety of its investigator.; Abigail: So it ran out of the safe house to... lure the Ethereals away from me...; Abigail: By the way, how did you find me?; Its camera was pointing toward your direction in the end.; Abigail: Little Beetroot...; It was protecting you, from the beginning to the end.; Abigail: No way...; Abigail: Waaaah! *cries* My Little Beetroot, my precious Little Beetroot!; Unnamed Bangboo: Uhn-nah-nu-na, ehn-nah-noo-noo-ah-ahn.
(Name undefined. Please configure a custom name for me.)

(Idle): Abigail: *sobs* Little Beetroot!; Unnamed Bangboo: Uhn-nah-nu-na, ehn-nah-noo-noo-ah-ahn.
(Name undefined. Please configure a custom name for me.)

If Little Beetroot was saved

(Idle): Abigail: Expressing gratitude is a basic courtesy...

(Talk to Abigail next to Howl's Newsstand)

Abigail: I just can't thank you enough...

Abigail: Without your help, I'd be nothing more than a lifeless body in the Hollows by now.

Abigail: Little Beetroot, say thank you to the Proxy now!

Little Beetroot: Ehn-na-na, na-ehn-ehn!
(Thank you so much, (‍Sir! / Madam!‍))

Little Beetroot: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne, ne-ehn-ne-ehn!
(Abigail is so clumsy! She can't do anything without me. Please take care of her!)

Did your Bangboo just reveal your secret?

Your Bangboo worries about you...

Abigail: Little Beetroot is such a worrywart! I came up with this name randomly because I had to drink beetroot juice due to low blood sugar back then...

Abigail: I couldn't imagine at that time you would become even more important than beetroot juice in my life.

Anyway...

How'd you find me?

How did you find this place?

Abigail: I wasn't able to see who rescued me in the Hollow, but I did catch a glimpse of a Bangboo. I know it was there because... I was rescued by that Bangboo in my dreams too!

Abigail: When I made it back to the Association, I thought, I must find that Bangboo and its master. I'll search every corner of New Eridu if I have to.

Abigail: I searched everywhere, and there it was, with you! Suddenly, it all made sense.

Abigail: Proxy... Please allow me to thank you again, and don't worry, I'll take this secret to my grave.

(Idle): Abigail: It likes to be touched here...; Little Beetroot: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne! (I love it!)

(Idle): Abigail: You think the pineapple flavor's better?; Little Beetroot: En-nuh!

(Talk to Abigail near Transcription missing): Abigail: How about every flavor... Oh, hello!; Hello there, what would you like?; Abigail: Just stocking up on essential supplies — fruit candy. It really helps with my low blood sugar.; Little Beetroot: Ehn-na, ehn-na-ehn-na! (Yup! Abigail is chewing on one right now!); Abigail: Ah, why did you have to call me out like that... But I guess it's fine... I don't mind you knowing my secret~; Abigail: People will think that I'm an investigator who doesn't take my job seriously if they see me eating sweets while talking, so I'm wearing a mask to hide it... hehe.; Little Beetroot: Na! (Hehe!)
