Evelyn: Don't waste your time on me!

Video Summary: The barrier between the stage and the outside world is more than just a door.

(A cinematic plays)

Fugue Agent: We've reached the area!

Fugue Agent: Wh—What's going on?!

Hobson: Oh, so Fugue's people showed up!

Hobson: Listen up!

Hobson: Evelyn has been colluding with Fugue!

Hobson: Take them all down!

(Meanwhile, Astra begins her show)

Astra Yao: Good evening

Astra Yao: New Eridu!

Astra Yao: Are you ready?

Astra Yao: Then let me share the wonders of magic with you all!

(As Astra sings, Evelyn knocks out Fugue's henchmen)

Astra Yao: Wanting to listen to the sea breeze alone

Astra Yao: Wanting to gaze at the night sky alone

Astra Yao: Escape my cage with that skip of my heart

Astra Yao: Travel across all the beautiful islands

Astra Yao: Make an oath to myself, only myself

(Evelyn retreats through the ceiling)

Hobson: Damnit!

Astra Yao: To never lose track

Astra Yao: To achieve everything

Evelyn: Ms. Yao...

Astra Yao: The overture, hiding in the reflection of raindrops

Astra Yao: With each step cushioned by lyrics so delicate

Astra Yao: Finding the pitch

Astra Yao: One day, I'll count each page on that music sheet again

Astra Yao: Practicing my half of that chorus

Astra Yao: I'll eventually hear

Astra Yao: The spinning lights

Astra Yao: Who stands beside me?

Astra Yao: Offering my first, favorite song as their grand finale

Astra Yao: You?

Astra Yao: Like dancing embers in the sky

Astra Yao: Be carefree, don't flinch

Astra Yao: Catch the shards of yesterday's dream

Astra Yao: Break through all barriers

Astra Yao: And the tracks left by clouds

Astra Yao: Is a haven for joy

Astra Yao: Ride the music and see

Astra Yao: You've long since learned to fly in dreams

(Starloop rises into the sky)

Astra Yao: Bit by bit

Astra Yao: The scenery of the streets

Astra Yao: Create the haven of your dreams

(Evelyn drops from the celing and faces off against Fugue's and Odeum's forces)

Astra Yao: Beauty

Astra Yao: Come. This is for you

(Cinematic ends)

(Enter combat)

Fugue Enforcer: Damn, traitors are unreliable! Go figure!

Odeum HAE Security: Traitor! Don't even think about running away!

Fugue Enforcer: Take down all the Odeum guys and that traitor!

Odeum HAE Security: Take down that traitor and all the Fugue guys!

Evelyn: Tracking down the insider is more important than fighting.

Evelyn: With both sides distracted... now is the perfect time to slip away.

(After defeating the enemies)

Evelyn: I wonder how things are on the stage...

Evelyn: Huh!? You even arranged people in the audience!?

(Approach the marked location)

Fugue Enforcer: Hmph, you thought this was the end? We're just the advance team!

Fugue Enforcer: As long as we hold off Odeum Security...

Fugue Enforcer: Our people can give them a "real" show!

Evelyn: Gotta contact Miss Yao. The stage is in danger!

(After defeating the first wave of enemies)

Evelyn: Miss Yao? Miss Yao! Can you hear me?! Control room! Do you copy?

Evelyn: Communications have been cut off?!

Raging Enforcer: Traitor to the "organization"! Are you ready to meet your maker?

Evelyn: The people from the "organization"... this is getting worse!

Evelyn: It's all my fault. If only I had told Miss Yao my identity earlier.

Evelyn: Perhaps things wouldn't have spiraled out of control like this...

Evelyn: *sigh*... Calm down!

(After defeating the Heavy Gunner)

Evelyn: If the control room's been breached, I won't be able to handle it on my own...

Evelyn: Ah! Phaethon! Someone both Rain and Miss Yao trust!

Evelyn: Those two will definitely lend a hand!

(Enter the VIP Lounge)

A Hero to Her Rescue

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

 "A Hero to Her Rescue"

---

Video Summary: Though it's more like Eous to her rescue... Enh... Nah...

Story Description: Communications are cut. Evelyn deduces that the master control room might have fallen into the hands of enemies. To retake the master control room and regain control of the whole place, Evelyn asks for help from you.

---

---

Evelyn: Astra is in danger! I need your help!

Belle: D-Danger?!

Evelyn: Yes, but if you're willing to lend me a hand, there might still be a chance to turn things around.

Evelyn: There's no time to explain. Just come with me! We have to break into the central control room!

Belle: Huh?! B-Break into the central control room?! Even though we have the fancy title "Phaethon," we aren't exactly fighters... We might not even be able to beat Eous in a fight...

Wise: Evelyn, what's going on?

Evelyn: Sorry, I owe you an explanation, especially if I'm going to put you in danger.

Evelyn: It's... all my fault.

Evelyn confesses everything to Belle and Wise,
from the long-standing grudge between Odeum and Fugue to her role as a Fugue spy that had been planted by Astra's side...

Carrying out Fugue's plans while avoiding Odeum's suspicion,
all the while exhausting every effort to uncover the identity of "the other mole" besides herself...

Evelyn: So... that's the whole story.

Evelyn: I betrayed Astra—right from the first moment I met her.

Evelyn: I failed to act when I should have, and that slowly led me to this situation. If anything happens to Astra because of this...

Evelyn: I'll never forgive myself.

Wise: The only one who can decide whether to forgive or not is Astra.

Evelyn: !!

Belle: That's right. The most we can do is bring you to her, plain and simple!

Evelyn: You two...

Wise: If we take over the central control room, Fugue's every move will be laid bare.

Evelyn: Not just that. While Astra powers Starloop's Harmonic Core from the stage, the control room manages everything else—navigation, balance, and stability.

Evelyn: If the control room is compromised, it'll be like a spaceship losing its bridge. The consequences would be disastrous.

Belle: We'll coordinate from the control room and fend off the enemies. Then, right in the nick of time, with all eyes on us, we rush to the stage and save the day!

Wise: Let's be realistic about our combat abilities. Most likely, it'll be Eous who saves the day.

Belle: Bruh!

Evelyn: Astra was right. You two really are interesting. Come on, let's go take the control room!

Belle: Let's go!

	BANG!
	Evelyn: *sigh* Fortunately, they're just unconscious... Who could've done this?
	Belle: Huh?!
	Bzzt—
	Belle: This countdown... It's not a bomb, is it?
	Wise: *sigh* Classic move... Let me take a look.
	Evelyn: Can we still get through to Astra?
	Evelyn: Astra? Astra? Can you hear me?
	Wise: ...It's no use. Looks like the usual comms have been cut off.
	Evelyn: We couldn't stop them...
	Evelyn: Damn it! How many people did they send to sabotage this show...?
	Wise: Leave the suspicious countdown to us, Evelyn. Belle: Go! Get to Astra! Take Eous with you and stay on comms.
	Evelyn: Got it! I'm counting on you two!
