WiseBelle, what are you doing lurking around the 404 entrance?

Well, I gotta be excited, seeing a huge star, right?
Ehe~ Such a smooth talker!
But I'm on a tight schedule here, so now's not the time to mess around!
Hurry over! I've got someone seriously impressive to introduce you to... I guarantee you're gonna be blown away!

A Legend Before Your Eyes
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
A Legend Before Your EyesVideo Summary: Catch a glimpse of the past.
Story Description: Astra Yao reveals that Cecilia is, in fact, the legendary diva Cersea. Burdened by post-disaster trauma and the shame of the voice-double incident, she left the stage and never managed to reveal her true identity to Aria. Since she refuses to return, a different guest will take the spotlight at the Yearlight Ceremony.
- Before you can react, the cool and striking bodyguard shoves you straight into the car.
...Such an intense sense of privacy protection! - Astra Yao: Every time I come to Sixth Street, I end up running into you, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle). This must be fate~ - Cecilia: Do you... know each other?
We're very close.- Do you... know each other as well?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm very close friends with (Astra.Astra. /
Astra!Astra!) But Ms. Cecilia, (do you twodo you two / you and Astra...you and Astra...) know each other as well? - Astra Yao: Sorry, "as well" doesn't quite apply here.
- Astra Yao: I've known Miss Cecilia for a very, very long time. So long that back then, everyone called her by another name.
- Cecilia: Astra...
- Astra Yao: (Even Wise, who isn't really in the loop about these things, must have heard it back then.Even Wise, who isn't really in the loop about these things, must have heard it back then. /

- What?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Wh—What?Wh—What? /
Wh—What!Wh—What!) I did think Ms. Cecilia looked a bit familiar, but...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Wh—What?Wh—What? /

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So it really is (you.you. /

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): No wonder there's been (buzzbuzz /
all those rumorsall those rumors) on Inter-Knot lately about you making a (comeback. But... uh, I hope you don't mind me asking—comeback. But... uh, I hope you don't mind me asking— / comeback! Ah, um, can I ask...comeback! Ah, um, can I ask...) why did you retire back then? - Cecilia: I...
- Astra Yao: You know what? From my experience... Every time I bump into the Manager, something interesting and wonderful happens!
- Astra Yao: The Manager is a very reliable friend— (hehe /
sheshe)'s the one who saved my performance last year on Gilded Carrot Day. Besides, (hehe / sheshe) already knows the girls pretty well, right? - Astra Yao: Maybe (hehe /
sheshe)'s the one who can help you untangle this knot in your heart? Why not give it a shot? - Cecilia: ...But honestly, it's not really a "knot in my heart," just a coward running away from their problems.
- Cecilia: The reason I retired is simple— I could no longer perform my songs.
- Cecilia: Maybe it was the PTSD from the Hollow disaster... And when facing my audience... in the wake of such a catastrophic calamity, I found it so hard to trust that my voice could actually heal them.
- Cecilia: Sorry, I think I got a bit off track there.
- After that...
- What happened?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I see... so what happened after that?
- Cecilia: We found Aria. She stepped in as my vocal double and recorded for my last few shows.
- Cecilia: Anyway, without the Hollow disaster, none of it would have happened. But from the moment I made that decision, even if I still had a chance to be "forgiven," that key is held only in Aria's hands.
- Cecilia: New Eridu does not need a disgraced singer who once used a vocal double, even if she was lucky enough not to be exposed... nor does it need a coward who fled the stage, even if she was once praised far beyond what she deserved.
- Astra Yao: Well, if you ask me... instead of blaming yourself, you should be asking for her forgiveness.
- Astra Yao: Now I have to go back and tell my dear friend that you rejected their invitation to the lighting ceremony. Am I hearing that right?
- Cecilia: ...Yes.
- Astra Yao: Alright then! I heard she's planning to approach that rising star, Vesper, as an alternative option.
- Astra Yao: It's just... She's an actor who's an Intelligent Construct, and there have been several incidents lately of Intelligent Constructs losing control and injuring people.
- I've heard about it too.
- Something to do with that intelligent entity suspect?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Intelligent Construct citizens injuring people after going out of control...? I've heard a few things that might be connected to a rogue intelligent entity... but I don't really know the details.Intelligent Construct citizens injuring people after going out of control...?

But I don't really know the details!Intelligent Construct citizens losing control and injuring people? I've heard some things about it—seems like it's connected to that intelligent entity suspect on the run... But I don't really know the details!) - Astra Yao: Whoa, so that's what's really going on... I knew you'd have all kinds of juicy gossip!
- Astra Yao: Though... since the victims from those incidents have more or less recovered, and Public Security doesn't want to cause a panic right before Gilded Carrot Day... none of this has attracted much attention.
- Astra Yao: Though, I disagree with making any assumptions, as the host of the Yearlight Ceremony, my friend is doing her best to rule out any possible risks... It's only natural for her to be cautious.
- Cecilia: ...They wouldn't really take the singer off the program over such a vague reason, would they?
- Astra Yao: No, they wouldn't.
- Astra Yao: After all, she's an extremely talented singer and an outstanding employee of TOPS Entertainment... and you know how it is, these things always have to take the sponsor's opinion into account.
- Astra Yao: Alright, if you're not going to be there... there's no point stressing over it.
- Astra Yao: It's getting late. (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) lives on this street... What about you, Cece? Should I take you home? - Cecilia: Wait.
- Cecilia: Manager... You'll keep this between us, right?
- Cecilia: Over the past few years, both my voice and appearance have changed a lot... Aria's wondered about it before, but I always brushed it off. I... I still haven't figured out how to tell her the truth.
- Cecilia: But no matter what... I want her to hear it from me.
- Okay.
- I'm sure you'll tell her the truth.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Okay, I promise I won't tell Aria about (this.this. /
this!this!) And I believe that once you're ready... you'll tell her (yourself.yourself. / yourself!yourself!) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Oh, (andand) about that Wishing Sprite you were worried (about.about. /
about...about...) I listened to what it said to Aria, and it (does seem like a trustworthy friend...does seem like a trustworthy friend... / actually sounded like a pretty reliable friend.actually sounded like a pretty reliable friend.) But I'll keep an eye on (it.it. / it!it!) - Cecilia: Thank you, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)... you really are dependable. No wonder Astra and the girls trust you so much. - Being escorted back to the video store by all three of them... feels a bit excessive.
The luxurious ride carrying a star-studded group rolls slowly through the narrow paths of Sixth Street... Luckily, Evelyn's driving skills are flawless, and you reach your destination in no time.
—That poor limo really had to work for it.
- (Talk to (BelleBelle /
WiseWise))
Shadows of Doubt
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Shadows of DoubtVideo Summary: Unknown shadows, lurking in the web of data.
Story Description: Fairy speculates that the Wishing Sprite may be a highly advanced intelligent entity. Multiple Anomaly Events are gradually intertwining, yet the true connection remains unknown. At that moment, Jane arrives as planned.
- (SiblingSibling): (Wise, why are you back so late? It's almost time for the meetup with Jane!

- Now you're saying I'm (late...late... /

Hmph, it's because you ditched me and ran off first... and now you're saying I'm late?Hmph, it's because you ditched me and ran off first... and now you're saying I'm late?) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): But about the Wishing Sprite, Aria was actually very honest. I only took a little longer because I ran into Astra on my way back.
- (SiblingSibling): You ran into Astra?
- You spend quite a bit of time recounting everything to (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) — Cecilia, Aria, the Wishing Sprite, Astra, and the Gilded Carrot Day (lighting ceremonylighting ceremony / Yearlight CeremonyYearlight Ceremony).
As expected, (sheshe /hehe) ends up wearing the same expression Fairy gets when she's processing a data overload. - (SiblingSibling): I see... Looks like (Cecilia and Aria will have to deal with that voice-double incidentCecilia and Aria will have to deal with that voice-double incident /

- You and (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) both turn a suspicious gaze toward Fairy. - (SiblingSibling): ...Like a certain (intelligentintelligent /
AIAI) assistant? - Fairy: Affirmative.
- (...?...? /
?!?!) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): What do you mean by ("affirmative"?"affirmative"? /
"affirmative"?!"affirmative"?!) - Fairy: Affirmative: Based on the speaking style in the conversation Master relayed, there is a decent probability that the Wishing Sprite is, in fact, an advanced intelligent data entity.
- (SiblingSibling): (...So, what you're saying is that powerful intelligent entities all talk like that, Fairy?...So, what you're saying is that powerful intelligent entities all talk like that, Fairy? /

An Old Friend Arrives as Promised

An Old Friend Arrives as PromisedVideo Summary: A pretty mysterious client, a not-so-reliable case partner...
Story Description: Jane showed up as promised, and she brought a "colleague" with her.
- Jane: Long time no see, Managers~
- Jane: I already gave you the rundown over the phone. To spare you any surprises, the client asked me to stop by and introduce you to... this friend.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (What kind of friend could possibly "surprise" Belle?What kind of friend could possibly "surprise" Belle? /

...Huh?!...Huh?!)
Public Security Commission
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Public Security CommissionVideo Summary: A pretty mysterious client, a not-so-reliable case partner...
Story Description: A mysterious client, introduced by Jane as a senior official from Public Security, assigns case specialist Cissia to assist the Proxy. Two cases involving intelligent entities and Constructs are merged into a single investigation, guiding them to the Lemnian Hollow indicated by the clues.
- Cissia: Are you two the owners of this place?
- (SiblingSibling): (...What?...What? /
...Huh?...Huh?) - Jane: ...Let's get down to business, Cissia.
- Cissia: ...Huh? Oh!!
- The odd case specialist snaps out of her loop of spacing out and looking around... and makes a phone call.
- Clearly, this new Public Security Officer is a little scared of Jane.
But from a Thiren's point of view... shouldn't the "food chain" between these two be the other way around? - Cissia: S–Sir! Someone here apparently can't understand your very straightforward commission request... And that someone isn't me!
- Anonymous Client: ...Mm.
- Anonymous Client: Greetings, Phaethon.
- Anonymous Client: I trust that Miss Jane Doe has already brought both my commission and my inept subordinate to you.
- Anonymous Client: Recently, there have been several incidents in the city where Intelligent Constructs have gone out of control and injured others. The culprit is suspected to be an unregistered, illegal intelligent entity.
- Anonymous Client: A few days ago, an Intelligent Construct Public Security Officer was taken over by viral code and delivered a "criminal threat" to me, declaring that this year will be "an unprecedented lighting ceremony for New Eridu."
- I don't see the connection yet...
- Why merge the cases for a joint investigation?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (From what you've relayed, these incidents don't have a definite connection. Why did Public Security decide to merge them into one case?From what you've relayed, these incidents don't have a definite connection. Why did Public Security decide to merge them into one case? /
But from what you've told us... There's no definite link between these incidents. So why merge them into a single investigation?But from what you've told us... There's no definite link between these incidents. So why merge them into a single investigation?) - Anonymous Client: Good question, the Construct citizens who lost control earlier had almost no connection to one another.
- Anonymous Client: But we discovered that while they were hijacked, they all displayed the same arrogant, mocking attitude, and their eyes showed an abnormal violet glow.
- That does make it a bit more convincing...
- What a classic villain persona.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Hmm... If there are this many similarities among the victims, you've convinced me. But this "villain" persona the intelligent entity suspect is showing... Isn't it a bit too stereotypical?Hmm... If there are this many similarities among the victims, you've convinced me. But this "villain" persona the intelligent entity suspect is showing... Isn't it a bit too stereotypical? /
There are a lot of similarities among the victims... Alright, you've convinced me. But this intelligent entity suspect's whole villain persona... Why is it so on-the-nose?!There are a lot of similarities among the victims... Alright, you've convinced me. But this intelligent entity suspect's whole villain persona... Why is it so on-the-nose?!) - Anonymous Client: ...Judging by its personality traits, that's true. But in terms of capability, its mobility far surpasses anything we've seen from past intelligent entities.
- Anonymous Client: After some complications, our tech team finally managed to track the suspect's whereabouts inside Lemnian Hollow.
- Anonymous Client: Given Waifei's unusual circumstances, I need a Proxy who understands both Lemnian Hollow and advanced intelligent entities, and you're the best fit.
- Even with all that...
- Who exactly are you?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (You've said quite a lot, yet we still don't know who you are. Your name and your title... Citizens should at least have the basic right to that information.You've said quite a lot, yet we still don't know who you are. Your name and your title... Citizens should at least have the basic right to that information. /
Thanks for the briefing... but who are you, exactly? We don't know your name or your title, and that doesn't seem to align with a citizen's right to be informed.Thanks for the briefing... but who are you, exactly? We don't know your name or your title, and that doesn't seem to align with a citizen's right to be informed.) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (And besides, that suspicious Wishing Sprite just recommended a Lemnian Hollow commission to Aria, and now we've received one too...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ((Another strange coincidence. No matter how you look at it, something feels off.Another strange coincidence. No matter how you look at it, something feels off. /
That's yet another strange coincidence. Something is definitely off!That's yet another strange coincidence. Something is definitely off!)) - (SiblingSibling): Exactly. As Proxies, we're used to the other side keeping things vague. But since (the client is an honorable public official...the client is an honorable public official... /
this commission comes from Public Security,this commission comes from Public Security,) that shouldn't be the case (here, right?here, right? / here.here.) - Anonymous Client: According to regulations, I won't refuse a lawful request from a citizen. But for the sake of your sleep tonight... I suggest we discuss it when we meet.
- Anonymous Client: Gilded Carrot Day is just around the corner, and time is tight. I need you two to start the commission as soon as possible and help us locate... or eliminate that intelligent entity. My subordinate will provide all necessary instructions and support.
- Anonymous Client: Thank you in advance for your cooperation in maintaining the city's order and assisting Public Security.
- The mysterious client hangs up.
The case is clear enough now, yet the client remains enigmatic... and before you can ask Jane anything, the case specialist suddenly lets out a stifled scream... - Cissia: ...Seventeen whole lines!!
- Cissia: He said seventeen whole lines, all coming out of my phone! I'm gonna have nightmares tonight!!
- The case specialist who had just been volunteered to "offer the necessary instructions and support" suddenly takes off running.
Jane is left behind... and, just like the client earlier, she takes a deep breath. - Jane: ...
- Jane: That officer's subordinates tend to be... a bit unconventional in their style.
- Jane: I've passed along the commission. I have other duties to attend to, so I'll leave you, Managers, and the case specialist with my wishes for a smooth job and... hopefully a pleasant partnership?
- Jane takes her leave.
- (Ongoing)
- Cissia: Whoa—what's this? And what's that...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (...Watch out for the equipment in the room!...Watch out for the equipment in the room! /
Huh? Please don't touch anything!Huh? Please don't touch anything!)
- (Idle)
- Cissia: Such a huge room...
- Cissia: You could fit like a dozen Cissias in here!
- (Talk to Cissia)

- Cissia: Ahem! Then you two follow the plan we settled on and get some rest. The specialist will now retire to her "own room"!
- You swiftly catch Cissia before she can sprint upstairs and arrange an early departure time with her for tomorrow.
