Dialogue
- (Idle)
- Lucia: What should I eat later? The food in Failume Heights seems kind of weird.
- Lucia: I heard they use turtle shells for fortune telling, then use those same shells to make tong sui... That's just weird...
- Komano Manato: Ah... It's kinda hard to explain...
- (Talk to Lucia and Manato)
- Lucia: Ah, Proxy, you're finally here.
- Komano Manato: Dr. Lydia said no one's allowed in during the consultation, so let's wait out here for now.
- Lucia: Or we could sneak in and give them a good scare!
- Komano Manato: You can't do that!
What's wrong with Yidhari?- Komano Manato: I forgot to tell you, but Yidhari's mental state hasn't been great since leaving the Hollow.
- Komano Manato: I bet it's all because of that cocoon in the Hollow. That's why she's been coming here regularly to the Echo Counseling Chamber.
- Isn't this an Exaltist base?
- This must be Dr. Lohr's hideout.
- Komano Manato: Yeah, but after the Exaltist [sic] fell apart, this place ended up as a foreclosure.
- Komano Manato: As part of the Hollow incident cleanup, Porcelumex bought this place and turned it into a counseling clinic. They even brought in Dr. Lydia from the city.
- Komano Manato: Sure, people might still feel uneasy about talking over their problems with a stranger. But hey, who cares? Having someone to share what's on your mind with is never a bad thing.
- Lucia: Exactly, exactly! If something's bothering you, talking it over with friends always makes it better.
- Lucia: Still, she's been in there forever... Wonder what they're talking about.
Counseling
Special Event
"Counseling"
Story Description: During a psychological counseling session with Yidhari, Dr. Lydia began helping her sort through past memories. However, there was an unexpected complication, and Yidhari fell into a coma.
- Yidhari: Sorry I'm late again, Dr. Lydia... I really am! Next time I'll be sure to arrive on time!
- Lydia: It's alright, Yidhari, relax. I'm not going to blame you.
- Lydia: I'm worried that the treatment might be putting pressure on you, causing you to want to avoid it subconsciously. Could that be why you're late?
- Yidhari: I... I don't know. Why do you ask?
- Lydia: Because the Yidhari I know was always punctual. You only started being late after we began discussing the past, no? I can sense some resistance and discomfort in you...
- Lydia: Especially when I suggested searching for some items related to the past and we started slowly recalling memories together, your discomfort seemed to intensify...
- Yidhari: I'm sorry... Like you said, we must face the past in order to move on... We must clean the wound before it can heal.
- Yidhari: I did eventually find some items from my childhood! Using them, I was able to recall the appearance of my family members.
- Yidhari: But... for some reason, I still subconsciously try to avoid it...
- Lydia: Perhaps it's not the truth you're afraid of, but fear itself. But from what I see, you're much braver than you realize. You're no longer alone. You have friends by your side.
- Lydia: Last week, you mentioned on Knock Knock that you'd bring some items from the past today and that you hoped I could open them with you.
- Yidhari: Yes, here they are...
- Lydia: Alright, let's get started then. Let's hear what young Yidhari has to tell us...
- Meanwhile, on the other side...
- Lucia: Ugh, I didn't expect her counseling to take so long.
- Lucia: Let's go eavesdrop on their conversation. Aren't you curious what they're talking about?
- No way, that's private!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Probably not a good idea... (Psychological counselingPsychological counseling /
Talking with a psychiatristTalking with a psychiatrist) is a very private thing. - Lucia: Hmm, I see... Hey, Manato, stop pulling me!
- Komano Manato: If I hadn't grabbed you, you'd already be lying there trying to listen under the door!
- Lucia: No, I would never...
- Just as Lucia is about to retort, she hears the sound of furniture bumping and being dragged quickly across the floor from the room downstairs.
- Lucia: Wait, did you hear that?
- Lydia's voice came from inside the room: "Yidhari! Yidhari!!! Wake up! Are you okay? Can you hear me?!"
- Lydia seems to have dialed an emergency call: "Hello? Is this the Throne Quarter Emergency Center? I have a female patient here who has fainted during a counseling session..."
- This is bad, let's check on her!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (This is bad!This is bad! /
Not good!Not good!) Quick, let's check on her!
- (Idle)
- Lucia: Is this therapy even legit? How can we be talking while unconscious?
- Komano Manato: Alright, let's go check on Yidhari!
- (Approach the door)
Diagnosis
Special Event
"Diagnosis"
Story Description: Dr. Lydia determines that Yidhari is trapped in a nightmare from which she couldn't wake up. To investigate the cause of the nightmare, (WiseWise /
- Lydia: You must be Yidhari's friends, right?! There's been an incident!
- What happened?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): What happened? Wasn't she supposed to be in a therapy session?
- Lydia: I'm not sure either. Today I asked Yidhari to bring some things from the past to help her recall her memories.
- Lydia: They were just some toys and miscellaneous items, and the session was going just fine. But then, Yidhari suddenly fainted.
- Lydia: I just called for an ambulance, but all the hospitals said it would take a long time for them to arrive.
- Komano Manato: Uh, doctor... The medical industry in Waifei Peninsula isn't so great. Usually, a company would arrange for a vehicle when this sorta thing happens.
- Lydia: It's okay. Thankfully, I have equipment that can monitor her condition. Can you give me a hand?
- Everyone helps Dr. Lydia bring in the equipment and perform a preliminary diagnosis on Yidhari.
- Lydia: Preliminary diagnosis suggests emotional fluctuations triggered the part of her brain that was corrupted. She's fallen into a lucid coma, likely linked to what she went through in the Hollow.
- Lucia: A lucid coma? So it's like she's stuck in some kind of nightmare? Does that mean she'll be okay after a good sleep?
- Lydia: That's one way to put it. But I don't know when, or if, the nightmare will end on its own. Forcing her to wake up could do more harm than good.
- Lydia: I'll keep an eye on her brainwave patterns, but we need to stabilize them first. Once they're steady, we can safely try medication to wake her up.
- Lydia: Try calling her name by her bedside. She might feel your presence and care, even in the nightmare.
- Is there no way for us to take the initiative?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But we don't know what kind of nightmare she's experiencing, so how can we comfort or call out to her? Is there another way to help stabilize her condition?
- Lydia: There is another way. My friend works at HIA. He manages a VR device that can simulate a person's mental landscape.
- Lydia: However, his research is too advanced, and the device is mostly reserved for elite agencies like the HSO.
- Lydia: I also heard that their last collaboration with Section 6 experienced some unexpected issues.
- Lucia: Section 6? Not the most approachable group...
- Uh... Well...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Uh, well... Maybe I (could...could... /
could...?could...?) - Komano Manato: Yeah, regular folks like us don't exactly have those kinds of connections. I'll ask my friend who works at Porcelumex later...
- Actually, I can...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Well... Actually, I can...
- Lucia: Yeah... I don't even have a New Eridu citizen card. No fixed address, no ID. I'm just a nobody.
- Can you hear me out?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry to interrupt everyone... but I can get in touch with a friend from Section 6.
- Komano Manato: Wait a sec, am I missing something? Aren't you a Proxy? How do you have friends in Section 6?
- Komano Manato: I can understand knowing office staff from Sections 2 and 3, but a covert organization like Section 6? Wait, don't tell me you're actually a retired HSO agent?!
- Please stop jumping to conclusions.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): What? No, it's not that complicated. It's just a series of coincidences! Hold on, let me contact my friend from Section 6...
After thinking it over, you send a message to a friend from Section 6 who hates working the most. Much to your surprise, he shows up pretty quickly.
- (Listen to Lucia, optional)
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) said Yidhari passed out, so I rushed over here. What's going on now? - Lucia: Uh, it's a bit complicated. You city folks and your "talk therapy" are terrifying. Looks like the therapist actually talked her into a coma.
- Lucia: We need to enter her dreams and find a way to steady her mind.
- (SiblingSibling): Enter? Her dreams? How are we supposed to do that?
- Lucia: Hmm, seems we'll need some VR gear to sync with her dreams. Your (brotherbrother /
sistersister) even pulled some strings with Section 6 to make it happen.
- (Interact with Yidhari, optional)
- Yidhari's brow was furrowed tight, like she was caught in a terrible nightmare.
- Yidhari, can you hear me?
- Yidhari gave no response, still lost in her nightmare, deaf to the world around her.
- (Idle)
- Asaba Harumasa: Well, well, Waifei Peninsula is so far away.
- Asaba Harumasa: But the weather feels just perfect for calling in sick and taking a nice, long nap.
- (Talk to Asaba Harumasa)
- Asaba Harumasa: Long time no see, Proxy!!
- Long time no see, Harumasa!
- Asaba Harumasa: I brought a buddy from HIA with me, already filled him in, and he's more than willing to help out.
- Zane: Hello, I'm a researcher with HIA. You can call me Zane.
- Lydia: Senior? You actually came?
- Zane: Of course—when my junior sister's in trouble, I've gotta be here to help.
- Zane: Here. This is the D-version of the VR simulator test model. It can capture brainwave signals and perfectly sync them inside the terminal.
- Is it okay for us to use it?
- Zane: Don't worry! You should thank Harumasa for handling the authorization. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to bring this internal gear out.
- Asaba Harumasa: No need to thank me, saving lives comes first. But if you really want to thank me...
- Asaba Harumasa: (Whispering) Proxy, that doctor you mentioned on Knock Knock, the one who writes fake sick notes... Is this the guy [sic]?
- Didn't you just say saving lives was the priority...
- Asaba Harumasa: Saving me matters too, you know, my dear Proxy. Deputy Chief Yanagi just called, and I lied that I was at the hospital...
- Lydia: Huh? What's the matter, Mr. Asaba? Dealing with some mental troubles?
- Asaba Harumasa: To be honest, Doctor, I've been carrying so much pressure inside... *sob sob*!
- Lydia: Uh, I'd like to give you a consultation, but things are a bit tricky right now — patient Yidhari has already fainted...
- Asaba Harumasa: It won't take much of your time. Just sign my sick leave note, and my biggest source of stress — work — will be taken care of.
- Harumasa left happily with his sick note, while Zane, with Lydia's help, set up the VR equipment and successfully synced with Yidhari's brainwave signals.
- Zane: All set, everyone! Installation and setup complete!
- Zane: I've already filled in my junior and (Miss BelleMiss Belle /
Mr. WiseMr. Wise) about the external data monitoring. - (SiblingSibling): Mhm, I've hooked Fairy into the system, so I'll be supporting you all from out here.
- Zane: Now, just put on this VR device and you'll be able to enter Yidhari's dream.
- Hmm, you sure this'll be okay?
- Zane: Relax! This isn't some sketchy DIY rig. I built this machine myself, and it's HIA certified!
- Zane: Chief Miyabi from Section 6 and Yixuan Shifu of Yunkui Summit couldn't stop praising it! It nearly held up against the toughest tests they threw at it.
- Zane: Just syncing some dream data, nothing to worry about! Or as they say around here, "easy peasy"~
- Zane: Well? You ready? Time to strut your stuff in the dream world?
Alright, send me into the dream.
- (Open event interface)
- Wait, I forgot to switch off the power at my video store.
- (Bubble, upon opening event interface)
- Fairy: Brainwave data successfully synchronized. You can now enter Yidhari's dream.
- Fairy: Let's pick the first Dream area.
- Fairy: Hit confirm when you're ready to roll!
- (Start Dream Into the Outer Ring)
- (Idle, outside the Echo Chamber after starting Dream Into the Outer Ring)
- NPC 1: That girl's been unconscious in the clinic... I hope she's okay...
- (Talk to Lydia after starting Dream Into the Outer Ring, optional)
- Lydia: Blood pressure and brainwave frequency are stable... Further monitoring required...
- Doctor, how's she doing?
- Lydia: It looks like Yidhari's consciousness recovered in the dream, and her overall stability has improved a lot.
- Lydia: But she still seems deeply attached to her parents' past and isn't willing to wake from this dream. Maybe if you keep helping her investigate, it'll improve.
