Rock BottomVideo Summary: We fight, we go silent, we stick by each other — we're so much alike.
Story Description: After returning to the hideout with Remielle, (WiseWise /
- Remielle: Here's a towel. You should dry yourself off.
- Remielle: If you've got the strength, you can take a hot shower, too. There's a makeshift bathroom over there. The Bangboo built it for me.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ...
- Remielle: *sigh* Okay, fine. If you don't want to move, I'll dry you off myself.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Why...
- Remielle: Huh?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Why did you bring me here...?
- Remielle: Hey... Shouldn't you thank me first, (Mr.Mr. /
MissMiss) Soaked-to-the-Bone? - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Thanks, Remielle.
- Remielle: Hehe, since when did you become so obedient? That isn't like you at all.
- Remielle: If you really want to show your thanks, here — it's your turn.
- Remielle hands over another clean towel as she speaks.
My turn... to do what?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): My turn... to do what?
- Remielle: Your turn to... dry my wings for me, of course. There are spots I can't reach on my own.
- Remielle: Hey, what's with that look? I've already dried you off — now it's your turn to return the favor.
- ...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (...Alright....Alright. /
...Okay....Okay.) - You switch places with Remielle and sit behind her.
- So this is what a winged Thiren's wings feel like...
- Remielle: You know, (Wise...Wise... /
Belle...Belle...) I've never liked rainy days. - Remielle: The rain always leaves my wings soaked and heavy... Shake as I might, I can never quite dry them.
- Remielle: The same goes for taking a shower, though at least I can manage to keep my wings from getting too wet.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Wet wings must feel... really uncomfortable, (huh?huh? /
right?right?) - Remielle: Yes. Honestly, it's miserable... and such a hassle to manage.
- Remielle: A hair dryer is useless — too hot, and I start shedding... too cold, and I catch a chill.
- Remielle: But I can't just wait for them to air-dry. It takes forever, and I'm way too impatient for that. Besides, it leaves this strange smell that I can never wash out.
- Remielle: So, the best solution is a slow towel-dry like this. But with wings this large, there are always spots I can't reach.
- Remielle: Before... if I got caught in the rain, I'd sneak onto Beli's bed and roll around, drying my wings on her sheets.
- Hmm... Huh?! Wait...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hmm... Huh?! (Wait... why would you crawlWait... why would you crawl /

Wouldn't (that make her upset?!that make her upset?! / she be furious?!she be furious?!) - Remielle: It was fine as long as I didn't get caught... Though of course, whenever Beli did notice me, she was absolutely furious.
- Remielle: And no matter how angry she was, in the end, she'd always do just what you're doing now... slowly drying the spots that were still damp.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ...
- Remielle: *sigh*...
- Remielle: (Wise...Wise... /
Belle...Belle...) do you know what New Eridu's records say about what became of Beli and me? - (ProtagonistProtagonist): I remember something about an operation called the "Day of Silence"... You and Colonel Vike were involved in an accident, and then... both died in the line of duty.
- Remielle: Yes. Died in the line of duty... Such a noble, dignified phrase. Though, in a sense, it isn't entirely wrong.
- Remielle: After all... for us Void Hunters, our first and only duty was to suppress the Karma Core inside our weapons.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The Karma Core... inside the Void Hunters' weapons?
- Remielle: That's right. Remember the Enchainer I mentioned before?
- Remielle: What truly sets them apart from ordinary Ethereals is a special core known as a Karma Core, found only within an Enchainer.
- Remielle: According to Arche... a Karma Core differs from an ordinary Ether Core. It doesn't form naturally. It is something made directly by the Creator.
- Remielle: The Creator made the Karma Cores, a power capable of rewriting the laws within Hollows, and used them as the cores to create the Enchainers of the Great Hollows... That's the gist of it, at least.
- Remielle: Back then, after a long and bitter struggle, we finally were able to bring down one of the Enchainers. But... the Karma Core itself could not be destroyed.
- Remielle: Arche and Sunbringer... They wanted to eliminate the threat posed by the Karma Core once and for all, while allowing humanity to harness the power within it...
- Remielle: In the end, they found a way to seal the Karma Core within Porcelloy, and from that... they forged the Void Hunter weapons.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So... the power (wielded bywielded by /
insideinside) Void Hunter weapons (ultimatelyultimately / actuallyactually) comes from the Creator? - Remielle: Yes, which is exactly why there are so many side effects.
- Remielle: At the time, we were naive enough to believe that... if we could truly master that power, humanity might finally overcome the Hollows once and for all...
- Remielle: So, when Arche and Sunbringer proposed the plan, we... never doubted it for a moment.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Lady Sunbringer and Professor Arche's... plan?
- Remielle: Yes. Project Sunseeker. I'll never forget that accursed name for as long as I live.
- Remielle: Simply put, it was an experiment that used vast quantities of Porcelloy as a medium to partially fuse us Void Hunters with the Karma Core sealed within our weapons.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): They fused you with a Karma Core...? Then that (would mean...would mean... /
means...means...) - Remielle: It meant we'd become "Artificial Enchainers."
- Remielle: No more enduring the costs of wielding Void Hunter weapons, and perhaps even achieving a stronger form to defend New Eridu... Hehe. Looking back, I can hardly believe I fell for Arche's lies so easily.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So it was in that experiment... when you and Colonel Vike...?
- Remielle: Yes. Beli and I... were the final participants.
- Remielle: Or rather... the final test subjects.
Among Her Feathers

Among Her FeathersVideo Summary: We fight, we go silent, we stick by each other — we're so much alike.
Story Description: (WiseWise /
- Remielle: Looking back, I wonder if Beli already knew the truth behind Arche and Sunbringer's plan...
- Remielle: Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have insisted on coming along... She's never been one to enjoy the spotlight.
- Remielle: If only I'd realized what she was thinking sooner.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Remielle...
- Remielle: Arche... was extremely meticulous, always laying out careful, detailed plans.
- Remielle: So... I can't say if the Karma Core losing control during the experiment was truly an accident — or if it was his cleverly disguised plan all along.
- Remielle: But whatever the truth, it ended with the Karma Core spiraling out of control, and Beli... becoming a new Enchainer.
- Remielle: As for me... I partially fused with the Karma Core inside Thaumiel, becoming what I am now — a monster... half-human, half-Enchainer.
- Remielle: Maybe, deep down... I'm just not ready to give up my life so easily.
- Remielle: In the final moment, Thaumiel's power of controlling temporal patterns froze me in a state of near suspended animation.
- Remielle: I didn't fully awaken from the seal in Pursenas Hollow until... about a year ago.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The power of temporal patterns...?
- Remielle: Right. Remember my feathers... the ones that can pin you in place? That's an example.
- Remielle: The Karma Core sealed within Thaumiel holds the power to halt the flow of time.
- Remielle: And because I partially fused with the Karma Core... even without Thaumiel, I can replicate a similar effect on a smaller scale.
- Remielle: But that little bit of power isn't nearly enough to take on those three Sunbringers.
- Remielle: That's why I had to reclaim Thaumiel. Even if it accelerates my path to becoming an Enchainer, I still have to...
- Remielle falls silent for a moment.
- She still has her back to you, but... somehow, you can picture the sadness and loneliness on her face.
- Just like the expression you're wearing right now.
- Remielle: Never mind. Enough about me... Heh, why am I even telling you all of this?
- Remielle: Still, now that I've told you so much...
- A white wing suddenly sweeps in front of you.
- Remielle turns to face you, wearing the same faintly enigmatic smile as always.
- Remielle: It's your turn.
- Huh? My turn again?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh? My turn again? (For what exactly?For what exactly? /
Wait, to do what?Wait, to do what?) - Remielle: To tell me your story, of course. Let's call it another round of our little Q&A game.
- Remielle: You didn't actually ask, but I had a feeling you'd want to know. So I went ahead and answered anyway.
- Remielle: Now it's your turn.
- You just started talking on your own...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I wasn't (actuallyactually /
eveneven) going to ask anything... You (simply started explaining it on your own.simply started explaining it on your own. / just started talking.just started talking.) - Remielle: Mm. Fair enough. But once you say certain things out loud, they don't weigh on you quite as much anymore.
- Remielle: Or... perhaps you'd like a little help getting started? Hmm, let me think...
- (Think back to your days at Helios Academy)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Serpico and Truvia... They transferred to Helios not long after (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) and I started there. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): They came from a prominent background — they were the adopted children of Mosseint, the head of High Ambitions Corp. (They were exceptional students as well, so it didn't take long for them to become some of the Academy's most talked-about students.They were exceptional students as well, so it didn't take long for them to become some of the Academy's most talked-about students. /

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Back then, we (all had ambitious plans for the future: understandingall had ambitious plans for the future: understanding /

- Remielle: ...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): When I finally woke up in the hospital, I learned that Truvia had been taken away by people from High Ambitions Corp. the day after the incident.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The next time I saw her... was during the fall of the Old Capital.

Uninvited GuestVideo Summary: We fight, we go silent, we stick by each other — we're so much alike.
Story Description: After tending to each other's wounds, Remielle seems to pick up on something from (WiseWise /
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Then, in Roscaelifer... I met Truvia again.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We talked about the past, but the way she spoke about it felt (as though she wereas though she were /
like she waslike she was) talking about someone else's life. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): I didn't know how to face her... And ever since then, no matter what I do, (I... II... I /
II) can't shake the feeling that I'm being watched...[Note 1] - (ProtagonistProtagonist): That gaze... I don't know whether it was Truvia's, or Serpico's... or...
- Remielle: Perhaps... it was your own.
- Remielle: The you from the past. The one who kept thinking, "If only I'd done something sooner." The one who never managed to forgive themself.
- Remielle: Making peace with the past isn't easy. And sometimes... you don't get the chance at all.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yeah, there won't be another chance. Truvia... she was killed by Dracaene... by that thing pretending to be Dracaene...
- Remielle: Hm? Something pretending to be Dracaene...? (Wise,Wise, /
Belle,Belle,) what exactly happened before I found you? Will you tell me? - You tell Remielle everything that happened inside the CCD...
- Remielle: I see. So that means Dracaene, the youngest of the Sunbringers, had already...
- Remielle: No. Judging from the timeline and the outcome... perhaps not yet.
- Suddenly, a commotion erupts outside. Hurried Bangboo footsteps and frantic shouting echo through the area...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh? What's (happening outside?happening outside? /
going on out there?going on out there?) - Remielle: I'm not sure. Let's go find out.

- Griff: Ehn-ne! En-ne-gah! (Go back... There's nothing here!)
- Sigrid: Forgive me, but I cannot obey.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (...Is that...Is that /

- Sigrid: Don't interfere with official duties. It'll only make it worse for you.

Story Description: Sigrid has shown up at the hideout. (WiseWise /
- Griff: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne... Ehn-ne-gah! (Lady Sigrid, p—please don't come any closer... There's nothing here!)
- Sigrid: I am afraid I cannot comply. I know (Mr. WiseMr. Wise /
Miss BelleMiss Belle) is here, and I have come to take (himhim / herher) back. Please do not stand in the way of my duty. - Remielle: Sigrid... she won't be easy to fool. (Wise,Wise, /
Belle,Belle,) hide for now. I'll think of something... - Remielle: (Wise?Wise? /
Belle?Belle?) What are you doing? - Sigrid, I'm right here.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sigrid, (there's no need to pressure them.there's no need to pressure them. /
leave them out of this.leave them out of this.) I'm right here. - Sigrid: Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, (Mr. Wise.Mr. Wise. /
Miss Belle.Miss Belle.) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): But... I'm sorry. I can't go back with you.
- Griff: Ehn-ne-ne?! Ehn-ne-gah! (Y—Y—You came out on your own?! And Lady Remielle too?! No! Hurry and hide! This person's dangerous!)
- Remielle: Well, since (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) has already stepped out into the open, I suppose there's little point in my remaining hidden. This would be our first proper face-to-face meeting, would it not, Deputy Director of Airspace Patrol? - Sigrid: Remielle... now that is an unexpected development.
- Sigrid: (Mr. Wise,Mr. Wise, /
Miss Belle,Miss Belle,) Lady Dracaene has ordered a search for you. But our only aim is to uncover the truth of what happened inside the CCD. So please, come back with me. - Sigrid: As for this fugitive wanted for the attempted assassination of Lady Eldreda...
- Remielle: Just so we're clear, if you decide to make a move here, you'll be the only one who dies.
- Sigrid: How can you be so sure before you actually try?
- Remielle: I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I am a fugitive, after all... hardly a saint to begin with.
- Remielle: But... are you really willing to die like this? As a puppet controlled by that monster, without ever learning the truth?
- Sigrid: Then speak plainly. I have no patience for riddles.
- Remielle: *sigh* Very well. You really do take all the fun out of it, don't you? Then I'll tell you outright—
- Remielle: The Sunbringer inside the CCD... was Girtablullu in disguise.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ...?!
- Sigrid: What did you say?!
- Remielle: Hm? I expected that reaction from Sigrid, but you too, (Wise?Wise? /
Belle?Belle?) I thought you'd figured it out already. - Where did that come from?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That's quite a leap. I know that definitely wasn't Lady Dracaene, but... Girtablullu? How is that even possible?That's quite a leap. I know that definitely wasn't Lady Dracaene, but... Girtablullu? How is that even possible? /
How did you even come to that conclusion?! I know it definitely wasn't Lady Dracaene, but Girtablullu? There's no way!How did you even come to that conclusion?! I know it definitely wasn't Lady Dracaene, but Girtablullu? There's no way!) - Sigrid: ...That is quite a story you've come up with, Remielle.
- Remielle: Oh? I was expecting something more along the lines of, "How dare you slander Lady Dracaene!" followed by you charging straight at me with your spear. I was quite prepared for that.
- Remielle: Or could it be... you've suspected all along that the Sunbringer at the CCD might not be the real one?
- Sigrid: ...
- Sigrid: What makes you so certain that it was Girtablullu?
- Remielle: Hmm... intuition, perhaps? Of course, there was also my trust in (Wise,Wise, /
Belle,Belle,) and a little reasoning. - Remielle: According to (Wise'sWise's /
Belle'sBelle's) account, they followed the trail of Singularity Leakage through the Energy Hub, yet somehow ended up in Dracaene's office. - Remielle: Then the false Dracaene showed up, sent Billy and Cissia away, began mutating into an Ethereal, and attempted to silence (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) for good. - Remielle: That's when Truvia arrived. She saw through the impostor's disguise too, and became her first target.
- Remielle: After that, Sigrid, Dracaene ordered you to bring (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) back to the CCD and uncover the truth. Have I got that right? - Yeah...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yeah. Sigrid, I (understand why you'd find itunderstand why you'd find it /
know it'sknow it's) hard to believe, (but... this isbut... this is / but that'sbut that's) what I saw with my own eyes. - Sigrid: I did receive orders from Lady Dracaene... but what does that prove?
- Remielle: Hmm... let's put it this way, Sigrid. Before you arrived, based solely on (Wise'sWise's /
Belle'sBelle's) description, I assumed Lady Dracaene's Karma Core had gone out of control and turned her into an Enchainer. - Remielle: But from what we've seen before, if that were the case, there is no way she could have retained her human consciousness, much less continued issuing orders to you.
- Remielle: With that possibility ruled out, and considering (Wise'sWise's /
Belle'sBelle's) discovery of the Singularity Leakages, along with the recent appearance of multiple Enchainer larvae... - Remielle: It is entirely possible that either Girtablullu or Bashmu entered the CCD through the Singularity Leakage and, through the Karma Core, became partially fused with Dracaene.
- Sigrid: How could that even be possible?
- Remielle: Hmm... it seems you have at least a basic understanding of Enchainers and Karma Cores. Good. That saves me a fair bit of explanation.
- Remielle: I can't say how Sunbringer managed it, but the most likely explanation is that she divided her Karma Core into three parts and... entrusted them to the three Ladies we see today.
- Remielle: That would also explain why Girtablullu and Bashmu appeared at roughly the same time. Then again, there may be a third Enchainer larva out there that we simply haven't discovered yet.
- Remielle: As for why I don't think it was Bashmu, well, that's the easy part. Bashmu is enormous. Had it appeared in Booastrum, it couldn't possibly have gone unnoticed.
- Remielle: So either it was Girtablullu, or a third Enchainer larva we haven't discovered yet.
- Remielle: It attacked Lady Dracaene, and it succeeded... just not completely. Otherwise, there would've been no reason to keep impersonating her.
- Remielle: If I had to compare it to something, it would be like two people fighting over the same controller. Dracaene's consciousness and Girtablullu's consciousness coexist in the same body, competing for control of both the body and the Karma Core.
- Remielle: Judging by the current situation... It seems Girtablullu has the upper hand.
- Sigrid: ...That is still nothing more than speculation.
- Sigrid: And if (Mr. WiseMr. Wise /
Miss BelleMiss Belle) deceived you, then none of your conclusions would hold. - (ProtagonistProtagonist): ...It's true. I have no way of proving that I wasn't lying.
- Remielle: It's alright, (Wise.Wise. /
Belle.Belle.) I believe you, and I believe everything you've told me. - Remielle: Remember the rules of our little Q&A game? You don't have to tell the whole truth, but no one is allowed to lie.
- Remielle: And besides... Sigrid, you've heard us out this much already. I'd say that means there's still room for us to talk, wouldn't you agree?
- Sigrid: What is it you want to talk about?
- Remielle: Why, how to get that poor little Sunbringer out of her current predicament, of course. So? Interested?
- (Ongoing)
- Remielle: There's too many eyes out here. We should speak inside.
- Sigrid: The Retroflux Zone... I never would have thought you would be hiding here.
- Remielle: Oh? And here I thought you had let me go on purpose.
- (Approach the target location)
Temporary Alliance

Temporary AllianceVideo Summary: The wildest plans are born when things can't possibly get any worse.
Story Description: Sigrid agrees to hear Remielle out in detail. Remielle and (WiseWise /
- Sigrid: I never expected the Airspace Patrol surveillance network to have such a glaring blind spot...
- Remielle: Hmm... would you call it that? Before all this, I wouldn't have believed anyone would willingly live in the sewers with a whole colony of Bangboo, either.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I was pretty shocked when I first got here, too.
- Remielle: Alright, let's save the small talk for later.
- Remielle: Let's discuss how we're going to deal with Girtablullu. Or rather... what to do about Dracaene.
- Remielle: First of all, the enemy has already taken control of the CCD. That effectively gives it access to Roscaelifer's communications network as well.
- Remielle: In other words, we can't communicate with anyone through electronic means right now. If we do, it'll notice us almost immediately.
- Sigrid: Lady Dracaene did give orders to keep a close watch on any unusual communication signals within the island...
- Remielle: See? The enemy is already starting to show the cloven hoof — Uh... no offense to horse Thirens, of course.
- Sigrid: ...Go on.
- Remielle: Dealing with it wouldn't actually be difficult. The real problem is how to do it quietly.
- Remielle: Even I can't be sure I could bring it down in a single strike... None of us knows how deeply it has fused with the Karma Core.
- Remielle: If we act rashly... worst case, everyone in Roscaelifer ends up witnessing Lady Dracaene turn into an Ethereal.
- Remielle: And by then, even if we manage to save Dracaene, to Roscaelifer, all we've really done is save a monster that could turn into an Ethereal at any moment.
- Sigrid: I never thought you cared about Roscaelifer's order and stability.
- Remielle: Heh. Why wouldn't I? This is the utopia my friend built with her own hands.
- Sigrid: ...
- (To keep the impostor under control...)
- (And make sure no one else finds out...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Remielle's right... We need a way to keep the impostor contained without drawing any attention.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Sneaking back into the CCD again... probably won't work. Even if Sigrid helped us and cleared out all the guards, the impostor would (noticenotice /
catch oncatch on) the moment she did anything out of the ordinary.) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Unless... we could somehow lure the impostor out of the CCD... And into somewhere isolated... somewhere no one would notice... Wait.)
- I've got it!

- Sigrid: ...Please, go on.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Tomorrow evening, the CCD will be holding a welcoming banquet for the island's guests in its reception hall.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Lady Dracaene is scheduled to host it herself, which means she'll have to appear in person.Lady Dracaene is scheduled to host it herself, which means she'll have to appear in person. /

We could go in as guests instead of forcing our way into the CCD. That would save us a great deal of trouble.
- Sigrid: But... (Mr. Wise,Mr. Wise, /
Miss Belle,Miss Belle,) with so many guests around, how do you plan to stay unnoticed? - What if... a Singularity Leakage...

Miss Belle.Miss Belle.) How are you going to make a Singularity Leakage appear in the CCD reception hall at that exact time? - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yesterday, Remielle and I found the culprit's crime scene at the bottom of the Retroflux Zone.

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Oh, wait... no. I don't have the HDD with me... and I can't (contact Bellecontact Belle /
reach Wisereach Wise) or Fairy either... So how am I supposed to get stable Hollow observation data?) - Remielle: Uh-oh. That look on your face tells me something's wrong, (Wise.Wise. /
Belle.Belle.) - Sigrid: If you are concerned about obtaining stable Hollow observation data... while I am not an expert in that field, I should still be able to offer some assistance.
- Sigrid: There is a derelict area known as Roswick within the Scamall Hollow.
- Sigrid: During patrols, we discovered equipment there that is similar to what the CCD uses to process Rosetta Data.
- Sigrid: However, due to their excessive size, they were left abandoned on-site and never retrieved.

- Remielle: Don't you remember, (Wise?Wise? /
Belle?Belle?) In their eyes, those three Sunbringers are all impostors. - Remielle: Anyway, leave this to me. At the very least, Prophetboo should be willing to do me this favor.
- Remielle: That leaves one final question: how are we supposed to get into Scamall Hollow without tipping off the impostor?
- Almost simultaneously, you and Remielle turn to look at Sigrid.
- Sigrid: Uh... why are you both suddenly looking at me like that?
- Remielle: Oh, nothing~ I simply thought a certain Airspace Patrol Deputy Director might be able to get us into Scamall Hollow.
- Sigrid: ...
- Sigrid: At first light tomorrow, I will return here and find a way to get you to Roswick.
- Sigrid: I can also pretend I never saw you tonight. That is all the assistance I can offer.
- Sigrid: And if I discover that everything you have told me is false... I will personally answer for tonight's decision, whatever the cost.
- Sigrid turns to leave, but pauses just before reaching the door.
- Sigrid: Before I leave, there is one final matter I would like to confirm with you, Remielle.
- Remielle: Mm-hmm?
- Sigrid: You once attempted to assassinate Lady Eldreda. Why, then, are you going to such lengths to save Lady Dracaene?
- Remielle: ...
- Remielle: Because... none of them are the Sunbringer I'm looking for.
- Remielle: To me, they're no different from this city in the sky. They're all gifts Sunbringer left behind for the world.
- Remielle: I simply don't want to stand by and watch the things my friend cherished be destroyed by monsters from who-knows-where.
- Sigrid: ...
- Sigrid says nothing more and leaves.
- After that, you and Remielle spend some time explaining everything to Prophetboo. He wrestles with it for a while, but eventually agrees to your request...
- It's getting late. Better get some rest while you can. Everything depends on tomorrow...
