Dialogue

Icon Dialogue Story Talk to Lycaon

Lycaon seems to have something to say. Let's have a chat with him.
(Approach Lycaon)
Lycaon: He's... I can't believe he's here...
And his target happens to be that core too...
(Talk to Lycaon)

Nemesis

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Nemesis"

Video Summary: They instantly connected, always by each other's side, until they parted ways and turned into enemies.
Story Description: After talking with Lycaon about Hugo, you found out they originally co-founded Mockingbird but went separate ways due to a difference in ideology. Lycaon indicated he knows Hugo's escape route...


Lycaon: ...
Lycaon: Forgive me, Master Proxy, but that... Mockingbird and I have... history.
Icon Dialogue Talk You might find it surprising...
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm acquainted with him as well...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You might find it surprising, but... I know him, too.
Lycaon: You do?
You brief Lycaon about your encounter with Hugo...
And you emphasize that you had no intention of keeping him in the dark.
Lycaon: I see. So that's how you know him...
Lycaon: ...Years ago, we founded Mockingbird, the phantom thieves syndicate.
Lycaon: Things started off well. We were young, with naive ideals and lofty goals, and we pursued what we thought was right.
Lycaon: But one night... that all changed.
Lycaon: There may have been signs of what was to come, but no one noticed them at the time... or perhaps we chose to ignore them.
Lycaon: Eventually, I left Mockingbird and accepted the olive branch extended by the mayor.
Lycaon: ...The separation was, shall we say... less than amicable. And my dearest friend became my sworn enemy.
Lycaon: Master Proxy, if I may ask... What do you think of Hugo?
Icon Dialogue Talk He doesn't come across as a villain to me...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): He seems pretty nice? He did lend us a hand... so he doesn't really come across as a bad guy to me.
Lycaon: I see. A facade, I'm sure, to earn your trust.
Icon Dialogue Talk Despite how he helped me, something feels off...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Though he helped us before and he seems pretty nice, I can't help but feel something's off. He (‍isis / isis‍) a part of Mockingbird, after all...
Lycaon: Mockingbird has... changed from how we envisioned it. And Hugo, too, he...
Lycaon: No, it's nothing.
Lycaon: In any case, he is very dangerous.
Lycaon: I am still unsure of his intentions, but we cannot risk letting him have the Sacrifice core.
Lycaon: Based on my... past experiences, I can likely predict the route he'll take to evade his pursuers and escape.
Lycaon: However, this path lies within the Hollow. Master Proxy, can you...
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's head straight over!
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm feeling super strong right now!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Let's head straight there. I'm feeling pretty strong right now.Let's head straight there. I'm feeling pretty strong right now. / Let's head straight there! I'm feeling super strong right now!Let's head straight there! I'm feeling super strong right now!‍)
Lycaon: Very well. Please follow me then.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Chase after Hugo with Lycaon

Lycaon seems to know Hugo's escape route. I'll enter the Hollow with him and chase Hugo down.
(Talk to Lycaon)
Lycaon: Master, it's this direction. If we enter the Hollow from here, we should be able to track him down.
Lycaon: By the way, about your sibling...
Icon Dialogue Talk (‍SheShe / HeHe‍)'s already gone home!
Lycaon: That's good to hear.
Lycaon: Worry not, I'll ensure your safety at all times within the Hollow.
Icon Dialogue Talk You're not going to fight him, are you?
Lycaon: ...I hope it won't come to that.
Lycaon: But how it actually goes depends on his attitude.
Icon Dialogue Talk You seem to know him well.
Lycaon: We were best partners after all, and that won't change.
Lycaon: Master Proxy, if you're ready, let's enter the Hollow now.
Icon Dialogue Story.png Story Commission Now Available: Fateful Reunion

Hugo: Heh...
Lycaon: As I thought... Hugo really is here.
Lycaon: When we were still working together, he would often choose routes that were difficult to attack, yet easy to defend.

(After defeating the enemies)
Lycaon: Master Proxy, the layout of the port is complex. Ethereals may jump out from any corner.
Lycaon: Do be extra careful.

(Approach the marked location)
Lycaon: Eugh.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): There are so many Ethereals.... but they don't seem to be fazing him at all!
Lycaon: Though I am loath to admit it, that man is quite formidable.
Lycaon: You can always find him in the thick of things, be it in social functions or surrounded by Ethereals.

(Approach the marked location)
Hugo: Tsk.
Hugo: Goodbye, my friends.
Lycaon: Pay his provocations no heed.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍No worries. We've dealt with minor obstacles like this before.No worries. We've dealt with minor obstacles like this before. / All good! These small obstacles can't trip me up!All good! These small obstacles can't trip me up!‍)

(Interact with Container Console)
Lycaon: Master Proxy, the container console here has been destroyed by Hugo.
Lycaon: He really went to great lengths to block our path...
Lycaon: But don't worry, once we find the specific container console, we'll be able to repair it.

(Interact with Container Console)
Lycaon: Master Proxy, taking care of this container console will allow us to proceed forward.
Lycaon: Let's repair it quickly.
(Enter Circuit Reset)

(Approach the heart-shaped mines)
Hugo: Careful, or you'll get hurt~
Lycaon: ...I'm not going to let you have your way.
Lycaon: Master Proxy, that's one of Hugo's weapons. Make sure to avoid it.
Lycaon: It may look like a coin, but it's actually a dart.
Lycaon: He carries around a briefcase filled with all sorts of weapons. It's quite the hassle to deal with.

(After defeating the enemies)
Lycaon: He's extremely familiar with this place.
Lycaon: Master Proxy, dragging this out will only be to our disadvantage. Let's proceed through here posthaste.

(After defeating the enemies)
Lycaon: The mechanism here isn't damaged, it's still functioning normally.
Lycaon: Something's not right.
Lycaon: It feels too easy. Almost as if... he let us through on purpose.

(After defeating the first wave of enemies)
Hugo: What's the rush, my friends? We still have plenty of time.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍This guy's as sly as a fox.This guy's as sly as a fox. / This is one crafty dude!This is one crafty dude!‍)
Lycaon: No matter, Master Proxy. I've already predicted where he'll go next.

(After defeating the second wave of enemies)
Lycaon: ...Urgh, we played right into his hands. He's taken the opportunity to run off again.
Icon Dialogue Talk Is this a thief's escape ability?
Lycaon: You're right. These are skills honed through countless practical experiences... He's very good at this.
Icon Dialogue Talk Lycaon, don't lose to him!
Lycaon: ...I'm terribly sorry. I will catch up to him.
Lycaon: If I'm not mistaken, the direction Hugo just escaped to should be the area above where we first entered this Hollow.
Lycaon: Master Proxy, let's hurry and catch up.

(Approach the lift)
Lycaon: This must be the right way.
Lycaon: Not to worry, Master Proxy.
Lycaon: We'll be able to catch up to him soon.

(Interact with Container Console)
Lycaon: Master Proxy, repair this console as you did before.
Lycaon: Hugo hasn't gone far yet.

Former Partners

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Former Partners"

Video Summary: Maybe he's found a new partner too.
Story Description: You avoided a group of Hollow Raiders while chasing Hugo. Lycaon shared some information about Hugo with you...


Lycaon: It should be this way.
Lycaon pauses momentarily. In the distance, a group of heavily armed figures emerge...
Lycaon: Are they... from the auction? No, they shouldn't be able to track Hugo here... They're likely just Hollow Raiders.
Lycaon: Back then, Hugo would typically retreat into a Hollow after securing the goods.
Lycaon: And as his partner, I'd be responsible for leading the pursuers astray.
Lycaon: ...
Lycaon: I'm unsure if he has a partner now, or who they might be if he does.
Icon Dialogue Talk He seems to be alone...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): He was alone the entire time when he approached us before...
Lycaon: I see, that's good. It means he must be carrying that core himself.
Icon Dialogue Talk He must have a new partner!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Well... phantom thieves usually have partners. I assume he must have recruited a new one by now.Well... phantom thieves usually have partners. I assume he must have recruited a new one by now. / Well... phantom thieves usually have partners, right? He must have recruited a new one!Well... phantom thieves usually have partners, right? He must have recruited a new one!‍)
Lycaon: True. That could make things trickier, as he may have passed the core to his partner.
Lycaon: Regardless, Master Proxy... let's steer clear of those Hollow raiders for now.
Lycaon: Although I'm confident in my ability to defeat them, a clash here might delay us and jeopardize your safety.
Lycaon: Our main focus now is locating Hugo and retrieving the gem.

(After defeating the enemies)
Lycaon: Hm...
Lycaon: ...He should be nearby.

Traitor

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Traitor"

Video Summary: So, who made the first move?

Hugo: Long time no see. Traitor
Lycaon: It was you who broke the oath, not me!
Hugo: Hah! You haven't changed...
Hugo: ...Pompous and self-righteous!
Lycaon: ...You're beyond reason!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Both of you... enough already!
Hugo: ...Hmph
Lycaon: Master Proxy!

A Moment of Carelessness

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Unwelcome Guy"

Video Summary: Gotta keep reminding myself I'm not in Eous anymore.
Story Description: While Lycaon and Hugo were arguing, you were surrounded by the Hollow Raiders you'd seen earlier...


Lycaon: Are you alright, Master Proxy? Any injuries?
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm fine.
Icon Dialogue Talk I just forgot how tall I was...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm fine. I just forgot I wasn't (‍usingusing‍) Eous... I thought your attacks would just, go over my head... I'm not used to being this tall, I guess...
Hugo: Rest assured, Manager. My blade has always been steady.
Hugo: I'll never point my weapon at my allies, especially not you.
Hugo: As for that oaf... Hmph. He has no sense of control in the heat of battle, even turning on his own comrades.
Lycaon: ...I'd thank you not to spread lies.
Hugo: What, are you denying it? I merely spoke the truth, didn't I?
At that moment, the Hollow Raiders you encountered earlier close in on you...
(A group of Hollow Raiders raided in)
Anxious Hollow Raider: Hah, thought we were in for a tough day, but it seems we struck gold in the end!
Anxious Hollow Raider: If you value your lives, you better hand over all your Etheric resources and any other valuables you've got!
Lycaon: ...I have no conflict with you, gentlemen. I am here for personal reasons, not to mine Ether resources.
Fierce Hollow Raider: Hah, cut the crap! It's been a rough day, and we need something to make it right.
Fierce Hollow Raider: Whatever your business is, pay your dough or bite the dust!
Hugo: Pay our dough? This is the Hollow. You're not claiming this Hollow as your own, are you?
Hugo: Not even the current mayor of New Eridu would dare to make that assertion.
Hugo: Am I correct? Mr. Mayflower Watchdog?
Lycaon: ...
Fierce Hollow Raider: Hah, you sure have a mouth on ya, pretty boy!
Fierce Hollow Raider: Don't push it! We've buried idiots like you in the Hollow before and soon you'll be joining them!
Lycaon: I'd urge you to reconsider.
Fierce Hollow Raider: Huh?
Hugo: Unfortunately, your kind advice has come too late.
Hugo: They've already worn my patience thin.

Ideological Differences

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Ideological Differences"

Video Summary: "No one has the right to take another's life."
Story Description: Hugo and Lycaon showed completely different attitudes towards the Hollow Raiders. Hugo wanted to eliminate them on the spot, while Lycaon believed they should be taken to Public Security.


Hugo swiftly deals with the Hollow Raiders...
Anxious Hollow Raider: Gwaaahh! Help me!
Hugo: Scared? Then perhaps you should think twice before you act.
Hugo: You've made your bed. Now, lie in it.
Anxious Hollow Raider: Sorry! I'm so sorry! Please, have mercy!
Fierce Hollow Raider: Spare us! We won't do it again!
Lycaon: Are you quite done blowing off steam? Don't kill them. I'll hand them over to Public Security once we're out of—
Hugo: Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?
Lycaon: ...
Hugo: They weren't planning to show you any mercy, yet you forgive them so easily.
Hugo: You haven't changed at all over the years, Lycaon.
Hugo: To hell with you and your foolish fantasies of being some almighty savior.
Hugo: Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened with your eye and legs?
Lycaon: My principles remain unshaken. No one has the right to take another's life.
Hugo: Sinners deserve punishment. Do you know how many lives they've taken?
Hugo: I'm merely delivering the justice the world needs.
Lycaon: It is not our place to pass judgment.
Lycaon: I know I will not sway you. There is no point in continuing this argument.
Lycaon: I will stop you, I always will.
Hugo: Go ahead and try.
Hugo: I will defeat you, I always will.

(Enter combat with Abyssal Enforcer)
Hugo: Be prepared to kneel before me, traitor.
Lycaon: ...You talk too much.

(Enemy health reaches 75%}}
Hugo: Proxy, I'd advise against trusting anyone from the Mayflower family... or their dog.
Hugo: How many bodies did the mayor step over in his ascent to power?
Lycaon: ...

(Enemy health reaches 50%}}
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Umm... Do you two have to fight?Umm... Do you two have to fight? / Really...? Do you two have to do this now?Really...? Do you two have to do this now?‍)
Hugo: My apologies, dear Manager, but I'm itching to teach him a lesson.
Lycaon: ...Shut up.

(After the cutscene)
(Talk to Lycaon)

About Beliefs

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "About Beliefs"

Video Summary: Hatred doesn't define you, it only eats away at you.
Story Description: Lycaon and Hugo's past memories include an old thief mentor who taught them not to judge others' lives. Lycaon fully agrees with this teaching, but Hugo does not.


After Hugo leaves, Lycaon goes silent, as if lost in his memories...
Destined to Meet Again Cutscene Quest Still 01
Jack: Worry not, mastery of my skills will come in time. But there's something more important I would like to teach you: something about faith.
Hugo (Young): Does a phantom thief even need faith?
Lycaon (Young): Of course. What else would we fight for?
Hugo (Young): For wealth, fame, and power. To stand at the top, so nothing and no one can imprison us.
Hugo (Young): ...Isn't that what everyone desires?
Hugo (Young): Or perhaps... By "faith," do you mean something asinine and empty, like justice, dreams, or friendship?
Hugo (Young): Hilarious. Grow up, Lycaon. It's time to let go of your naive fantasies of being some almighty savior.
Lycaon (Young): ...You! Tsk, you just don't get it.
Jack: Alright, enough squabbling. What I'm trying to teach you is very simple.
Jack: I may not walk the path of justice, but I do not walk the path of evil.
Jack: There is too much injustice in this world. And there are times when it becomes necessary to right those wrongs with... unconventional methods.
Jack: Taking lives, however, is out of the question. Life is a precious gift, one that nobody has the right to steal.
Jack: No one should have the authority to judge whether another lives or dies. Keep that in mind.
Lycaon (Young): I will.
Hugo (Young): ...
Jack: You don't seem convinced, Hugo.
Hugo (Young): As you mentioned, this world is unjust.
Hugo (Young): That's why we must strive to bring fairness to this world. Those who cause harm should face consequences, just as those who take lives should.
Hugo (Young): But not all lives hold the same value. Sometimes, you may need to eliminate one if it means saving more.
Jack: ...You're too proud. Your pride may lead you astray.
Hugo (Young): I have my own path and beliefs, Jack. I'll determine for myself what's fair and unfair.
Lycaon (Young): Hey, watch your mouth! If it weren't for Jack, you'd be dead already!
Jack: You're a smart kid, Hugo. Skilled, too. You could easily take the life of a "sinner."
Jack: However, what if one day you found out you were wrong? What if that so-called sinner were innocent? Could you bring them back to life?
Hugo (Young): I wouldn't make that mistake.
Jack: To err is human. Everyone is bound to make mistakes.
Jack: It is good you are open with your thoughts. I just... don't want your troubled past to weigh you down.
Jack: Because your hatred doesn't define you, it only eats away at you.

The Most Bitter Failure

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "The Most Bitter Failure"

Video Summary: He never acknowledged any of this.
Story Description: Lycaon told us the reason for the fallout with Hugo: Mockingbird had once experienced a most painful failure.


Lycaon: ...
Icon Dialogue Talk Are you okay?
Icon Dialogue Talk You've been quiet for a while.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Are you okay, Lycaon? You've been quiet for a while.Are you okay, Lycaon? You've been quiet for a while. / What's wrong, Lycaon? You've been quiet for a while now...What's wrong, Lycaon? You've been quiet for a while now...‍)
Lycaon: My apologies, Master Proxy. I was just... reminded of some past memories.
Lycaon: Before Hugo and I founded Mockingbird, we had a mentor — Jack.
Lycaon: He took us under his wing when we were in dire straits, imparting his skills and life lessons.
Lycaon: ...But Hugo didn't agree with his viewpoints. Perhaps our paths were always fated to diverge.
Icon Dialogue Talk What caused your split with Hugo?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍I've been curious for a while now. What caused you two to split...?I've been curious for a while now. What caused you two to split...? / Okay, I'll admit, I've been itching to ask: Why'd you two split up...?Okay, I'll admit, I've been itching to ask: Why'd you two split up...?‍)
Lycaon: ...
Lycaon: We... I mean, Mockingbird faced numerous triumphs, but also setbacks.
Lycaon: And one of them was a disastrous one.

Witness

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Witness"

Video Summary: But everybody lies.
Story Description: In Lycaon's memory, he witnessed how Hugo, in pursuit of revenge, had taken many lives, including those of innocent people, and therefore decides to leave Mockingbird.


Destined to Meet Again Cutscene Quest Still 02
Lycaon (Young): Hugo — you...
Hugo (Young): ...
Lycaon (Young): Was this you? All this?
Hugo (Young): So what if it was?
Lycaon (Young): ...Have you gone crazy?! Have you been planning this... all along?
Lycaon (Young): You'd bury all these lives... in the name of vengeance?
Hugo (Young): They deserved to die.
Hugo (Young): Especially... Especially my so-called father. I should have killed him a long time ago. A really long time ago...
Hugo (Young): You know what, Lycaon? There're some people whose only purpose in life is to bring more suffering into this world.
Hugo (Young): Sometimes, murder is what brings justice back into this world.
Hugo (Young): And for that, I must stain these hands in blood.
Lycaon (Young): There's more than just the guilty here — there are innocents! What are they to you? Just another rung to step on as you climb your way to the top?
Lycaon (Young): Enough... I can't... trust anything you say anymore. I'm leaving Mockingbird. Now.
Hugo (Young): ...Where are you going?
Lycaon (Young): Anywhere. Someone from the Mayflowers got in touch with me before...
Hugo (Young): Are you mad?! You know what those hypocrites in city administration are like! They're no different from TOPS!
Hugo (Young): We've fought them together all this time, and now you're leaving to... to serve as their lapdog?!
Hugo (Young): Are you going to turn your back on Mockingbird...? Turn your back on me?
Lycaon (Young): ...The mayor is different from the others. But it doesn't matter — I'm not going to even try convincing you.
Lycaon (Young): As your friend, I'll give you one last piece of advice: Please, stop here.
Lycaon (Young): Otherwise, the day will come... where your hatred and ambition will consume you.

Crime Prediction

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Crime Prediction"

Video Summary: A Sacrifice attack targeting New Eridu.
Story Description: The mayor received a letter threatening a crime, with someone claiming they would take revenge on New Eridu using the Sacrifice. Concerned about our safety, the mayor refused your involvement and decided to investigate privately.


Lycaon: My apologies, Master Proxy, that you had to hear such an unpleasant tale.
Lycaon: Hugo came from a powerful family, and his relationship with them was always... strained — especially with his own father. So much so that Hugo wanted to personally put an end to him.
Lycaon: After shouldering a mountain of injustice, Hugo ran away from home. That's when Jack and I met him.
Lycaon: And that setback that Mockingbird suffered... turned out to be intimately connected to his family. I had thought it was just a normal mission, when in fact he was plotting revenge.
Lycaon: He took advantage of me... and everyone else there.
Lycaon: I do not mean to pass judgment on him and his decision, but I refuse to accept a partner who is willing to trample over other people's lives for their own desires.
Lycaon: ...Perhaps, his family left a mark on him that continues to influence him to this day.
Lycaon: In any case, Hugo still has the Sacrifice core. We should contact the mayor to plan our next moves.
The call goes through immediately.
Mayor: A pleasure to speak with you again.
Mayor: Lycaon has already filled me in on Mockingbird stealing the Sacrifice core.
Mayor: I'll deal with it.
Icon Dialogue Talk Is there anything we can do to help?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Anything else we can do to help? I mean, we didn't manage to complete our mission...
Mayor: No no no, you've done well. It's just... not appropriate for you to get involved in what's to come.
Icon Dialogue Talk We've been through worse.
Icon Dialogue Talk We should be able to handle it.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): We've been through far more dangerous situations. Plus, we've dealt with Mr. Mockingbird before so maybe we could help you?
Mayor: ...Really, I appreciate your kindness. It's just... Very well. Seeing as you're all people I know I can trust, I'm going to be frank.
Mayor: Not long ago, I received a letter declaring criminal intent.
Lycaon: ...Sir!
Mayor: Lycaon, I know you do not want to place them in danger — I feel the same way. However, I believe they deserve to know the truth.
Mayor: That letter threatened to use a Sacrifice to take vengeance against the entire city of New Eridu.
Icon Dialogue Talk Vengeance...?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What do you mean by vengeance...?
Mayor: ...I believe the person — or the organization — who sent the letter is planning to use the Sacrifice to mount a large-scale attack against the city.
Mayor: Everything we've uncovered so far seems to support this hypothesis.
Mayor: As you know, the Sacrifice's true power is a mystery and cannot be controlled. If anyone attempts to use it as a weapon...
Mayor: This is no small issue. If this gets out, it'll send the public into a panic. Please promise me you'll keep things confidential.
Icon Dialogue Talk Then let us help out.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Then let us help out! We can do our part, too.
Mayor: But it's like I said before, it'll be too dangerous for you. Whichever way you look at it, you're still citizens of New Eridu, and as mayor, it's my duty to protect you.
Mayor: Plus... Carole would be furious with me if I put you in danger... If she were still around.
Mayor: Anyway, I'm not at liberty to discuss this matter any further. Please rest assured that we will handle things properly as the administrative authority of New Eridu.
Lycaon: That's right. Master Proxy, please trust us.
Mayor: So that'll be all for today. Goodbye for now.
