Talk to the girl at the entrance of 404

Commission Description

An [sic] hesitant girl stands at the entrance of 404. Ask her what happened.

(Idle): Hesitant Fan: Is Lady Cersea really here...?

(Talk to Hesitant Fan): Hesitant Fan: That was the last suspicious spot to check... and I still didn't see her...; Hello?; Hey, you here for the show?; Hesitant Fan: Ah, hey there, hey... Are you a resident of Sixth Street? I wanted to ask if this place, 404... have any special guest performers?; Hesitant Fan: Like, say, that one at this year's Yearlight Ceremony... Cer...; You mean Cersea?; Where did you hear that?; Hesitant Fan: Oh, you're a fan of Lady Cersea too? Then you must've come because of that rumor — "someone on Sixth Street heard Cersea singing"!; Hesitant Fan: As a die-hard fan of Lady Cersea, I've been waiting all these years... but persistence pays off. I finally got my hands on this little crumb of info...; You can go to Bardic Needle...; They've got Cersea's collector's edition album there.; Hesitant Fan: ...An album? So the singing they talked about was just an album playing in the music store...; The die-hard fan of Lady Cersea looks utterly defeated. Just as you are about to say something to comfort her, someone taps you lightly on the shoulder twice.
You turn around to see Aria standing behind you, beaming with that signature energetic smile of hers.; Aria: I didn't expect to run into you at this hour, Manager. Bet you couldn't wait to catch our show, right?; I really do feel like seeing it again!; This is Cersea's...; Aria: So this is... a new friend visiting 404 for the first time? Hi! I'm the lead vocalist of Angels of Delusion. We play here pretty often. Want to catch our show sometime?; Hesitant Fan: ...A show? Oh! Then you must know... that...; Hesitant Fan: Um... I know it's just a rumor, but I gotta ask... Is Lady Cersea really here?; Aria: Eh? You're looking for Cer... Cersea? Sorry, I—I'm not really sure about that...; Hesitant Fan: ...Alright. *sigh*... There's nowhere else on this street anyway. Someone probably just mistook an album playing at the music store for Lady Cersea's voice.; Aria: Hmm...; Hesitant Fan: I really, really want to hear Cersea sing again... Even though every rumor ends up being fake, every time something new pops up, I just can't stop myself from hoping...; Aria: I see...; Hesitant Fan: I'm so sorry! I hope my gloomy rambling didn't bother you. Anyway, sorry for making you listen to me complain... Next time I get the chance, I'll definitely come watch your show!; Without waiting for Aria to say anything more, this die-hard fan of Cersea seems to have already cheered herself up. She says her goodbyes, then turns and walks away.; Aria: I didn't expect there would still be fans who care about Cersea this much...; Aria: But no matter what, we shouldn't take it upon ourselves to fix a fan's regrets for Miss, and besides, she probably doesn't want anyone disturbing her right now.; Cersea belongs to the past.; Now we have Cecilia.; Aria: Exactly! Cersea's story may have wrapped up, but Ms. Cecilia's story with us is still going strong~; Aria: So... if a fan really does come here and finds Ms. Cecilia, then it should be up to her — the only one who can speak for the Cersea of the past — to decide what to do.; Speaking of the rumor that "Cersea is on Sixth Street"...; How did that even start spreading?; Aria: About that... I was scrolling through Inter-Knot a while back looking for commissions, and I came across a post about Ms. Cecilia...; Aria: The post's content was exactly what that fan had mentioned: someone on Sixth Street heard Cersea singing, and it didn't sound like a recording at all.; Aria: I tapped it right away, but it got deleted almost instantly... Guess someone else caught it too.; Aria: Manager, what do you think it would be like if Ms. Cecilia really did step onto the stage at 404 one day?; Hang on...; Looking for commissions?; Aria: Huh?! That's what you're focusing on, Manager?! I was just browsing, I never said I was gonna accept any of them!; Aria: Angels of Delusion may not be a household name yet, but since Gilded Carrot Day, visitor traffic has more than covered our day-to-day operating costs.; Aria: But I can picture it without you saying anything, Manager. If that day ever comes, the line of people waiting to buy tickets would probably stretch all the way from outside 404 to the video store...; Aria, the reason you're thinking about all this...; Is it because something is in the works?; Aria: Yes... well, not exactly... Anyway, if you're curious, Manager, swing by 404 a little early tomorrow. Who knows, you might stumble into a nice surprise!; Leaving that cryptic line behind, she says goodbye and trots into 404.; Anyway... just like Aria suggested, you'll head back to 404 tomorrow and find out what's going on.

Head to 404 in the morning to check things out

Commission Description

Following Aria's tip, head to 404 in the morning to catch Cecilia.

(Talk to Cecilia)

Cecilia: Morning, Manager~

Cecilia: Looking for the little angels? Bad timing, I'm afraid... They're all out handling other stuff today, so they probably won't be showing up anytime soon.

I'm here for you!

Cecilia: Oh? I'm honestly flattered... Manager, did you come all this way just to hear me sing?

I'm just wandering around for a bit.

Cecilia: Is that so? Well, I can't just let you leave empty-handed. Would you like to hear me sing, Manager?

Cecilia: You heard me warming up my voice just now, right? *sigh*... Even though I've always called myself the little angels' teacher and put out some mediocre works in the past that barely lived up to their reputation, my singing skills have gotten seriously rusty lately...

Cecilia: Please forgive me, Manager.

Mediocre...

Barely lived up to their reputation?!

Cecilia: Ssh...

Cecilia: Listen, Manager... hmm... the birdsong at dawn this morning was absolutely divine, making it the perfect day to meet a kindred spirit~

Cecilia: So please, Manager, listen carefully and tell me whether, as their teacher, I've... fallen short in any professional respect.

With that, Cecilia gives a slight bow before stepping onto the stage...
Moments later, an ethereal melody drifts into your ears.

In old tales, sailors fell prey to the siren's song, willing to cast away their very lives, leaping into storm-tossed seas just to reach the cliffs where the siren sang.
...So this is what that feels like.

(A short cutscene of Cecilia singing onstage plays)

Cecilia: Alright, that's the end of this little special performance. So, manager, how was it?

It's amazing!

It's absolutely heavenly!

Cecilia: You always know how to make people happy, manager~ But honestly, I'm not very satisfied with my performance.

Cecilia: It's not that my singing's gotten worse or anything... it's just... after witnessing everything Angels of Delusion have done so far, I've come to realize... there's something missing in my voice. Something they've got that I've lost along the way.

Cecilia: That's why I want to try stepping onto their stage... hoping I might be able to reclaim a part of that.

A love for the stage?

The power of delusion?

Cecilia: Or maybe... it's that pure, original passion that a dull grown‑up like me can no longer remember?

Cecilia: Anyway... it's been an honor having you as my audience for this special performance, Manager, but now... let me hand this stage back to the real Angels of Delusion~

Cecilia's gaze sweeps across the entirety of 404 before landing on the entrance...
Aria, who has just come down the stairs, quickens her pace and walks over.

Aria: Manager, Miss, you're both here? Morning!

Aria: Heh~ See, manager? Didn't I tell you this "nice surprise" would be worth it? Miss has been practicing every morning lately, and I've heard her sing plenty of times!

Aria: So I had a light bulb moment: if I got you to come by around this time... Miss would definitely be willing to sing a little for you!

Cecilia: Oh? So our little Aria and the Manager have been swapping secrets behind my back, huh? Anything you two want to share with me?

After exchanging a glance, you and Aria take turns filling Cecilia in on yesterday's encounter with Cersea's fans.
When you finish, Cecilia falls silent for a moment.

Cecilia: ...So that's what happened.

Aria: I'm sorry, Miss... If I didn't keep that fan in the dark, word about Cersea being on Sixth Street woulda spread all over New Eridu...

Cecilia: You didn't do anything wrong, Aria... 404 belongs to you all. If Cersea — who's in the past now — ends up affecting anything today, I'd feel really guilty about that.

Cecilia: As for "someone on Sixth Street heard Cersea singing"... let that rumor stay as nothing more than a little legend.

Sixth Street is a place of wonders.

Legends? We've got plenty of those!

Cecilia: See, even the manager says so.

Cecilia: But... maybe "Cecilia" could be a special guest of the Angels of Delusion?

Aria: Huh?! Really! Then we'll do our best! Once Sunna and Nangong get here we'll start rehearsing immediately. I'll go get ready!

Aria rushes backstage under Cecilia's indulging gaze.

(Commission completed)

(Idle): Cecilia: Aria, that kid...; Cecilia: ...Always so energetic and impulsive.
