Dialogue

Access the camera

Tap into the cameras above the banquet hall and scope out the situation.

(A short cutscene plays, the trio arrives at the ball): Sigrid: We are here.; Sigrid: Next, I will head in and set up the device.; Sigrid: There is surveillance cameras above the hall. (‍Wise,Wise,Text for Wise / Belle,Belle,Text for Belle‍) you can connect to them from your end and confirm the situation.; Got it.; Sigrid: Alright then. Please stay here and keep yourselves hidden. I will take my leave now.

(Ongoing): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Let's use the camera to check on Sigrid...

(Idle): Remielle: A ball, huh...

(Talk to Remielle, optional): Remielle: Didn't expect it to be at a ball of all places...; Is something wrong with the ball?; Remielle: Nothing, just... it's quite the coincidence. Reminds me of old memories.; Remielle: Back in the day... I mean, way back, I actually loved to dance.; I think I caught a glimpse of it in your memories...; Remielle: Yeah, none of the others are really into dancing or anything like that.; Remielle: But every time, I end up dragging someone down with me.; Remielle: Spinning and moving to the music on the dance floor... It's rather freeing, don't you think?; Remielle: Heh, of course. That was ages ago.

(Approach the camera): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): This is a pretty good spot.

(Hack into the camera): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm in!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Uh-oh... a soldier's coming this way!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...What's going on?

The Banquet Begins

The Banquet Begins

Video Summary: Every goodbye is a little death.

Story Description: The banquet has begun, and the guests are about to take to the dance floor. To set the next move in motion, Remielle brings (‍Wise / Belle‍) to the space directly above the venue.

Sigrid: Ahem... Can you two hear me fine? All devices are in position. (‍Mr. Wise, / Miss Belle,‍) you have the exact locations in sight, yes?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Yes, / Mhm,‍) I see them. But what (‍happened / was that‍) just now?

Sigrid: Ah... You mean the soldier who came to speak to me?

Sigrid: He asked me what was inside, and I said, "This was specially prepared for Lady Dracaene."

Sigrid: He then said, "Ah, I see. A heart-to-heart over dessert... on the floor, no doubt. I can hardly wait," and left.

Remielle: *chuckle* Can't believe I've grown used to the strange things that happen around her.

Sigrid: The welcome banquet is about to begin, so I must take my leave now. I wish you two luck!

Honored guests who have traveled all this way from the surface of New Eridu, welcome to Roscaelifer...

Remielle: Oh, it's starting...

Remielle: Come on. We should make our way up too.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Alright. I'll take the side fire escape.

Remielle: Hah. Why go through all that trouble?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Whoa, wait...!

Voice From the Banquet Hall: "Now, let us follow the music and dance with our partners! May we all have a wonderful evening!"

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Everyone down there is dancing... Once the music ends, Girtablullu will show up.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Okay... I'm ready!)

Remielle: Hey, what's on your mind?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remielle, stay down! What if someone sees (‍you? / you from down there?‍)

Remielle: Why would they? On such a beautiful night, with lovely music, surely everyone's eyes are on their dance partner.

Remielle: And you? You were so calm a moment ago. Why so nervous now, (‍Mr. / Miss‍) Honor Student?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): No matter how we frame it... what we're about to do could be considered an assassination.

Remielle: Hehe. To the unsuspecting crowd below, we must look like a pair of unforgivable criminals.

Remielle: Relax. I've witnessed spectacles far grander than this.

Remielle: Oh, right. The music won't end for a while yet. So, to settle those nerves... shall we share a dance of our own?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Huh? Dancing? (‍Right here? Right now? / Right now? Right here?‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Is this really the time for that? / Isn't this kind of a bad time?‍)

Remielle: You're already my "partner in crime." It's a little late to worry about propriety?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍For the record, / Just so we're clear,‍) I've never really danced before... If I step on your foot, don't blame (‍me. / me!‍)

The Long Goodbye

Video Summary: Every goodbye is a little death.

(A cinematic plays): Remielle: You know, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍); Remielle: I've actually; Remielle: Been keeping something from you...; Remielle: And you're definitely gonna be mad once you know the truth; Remielle: But what can you do when your partner; Remielle: Turns out to be a liar?; Soldier: Lady Dracaene is here!; Soldier: Everyone, stay right where you are; Soldier: It's time for her speech; Soldier: After you, Lady Dracaene; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remie?; Remielle: I'm sorry, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍); Remielle: As this dance draws to a close; Remielle: It's time for us to say goodbye; Remielle: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍); Remielle: You almost made me forget; Remielle: That I no longer belong to this era; Remielle: I almost forgot...; Remielle: That I was meant to fly into the abyss alone; Remielle: There's still a place for you to go back to; Remielle: So from here on; Remielle: Let me handle this on my own—; Girtablullu: If you're that eager to die...; Girtablullu: Then so be it!; Remielle: You're forcing the Enchainer transformation...?; Remielle: Then bring it on; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remielle!!!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I won't let you...; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Shoulder this burden alone!
(Cinematic ends)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Huff, huff... Remielle! If you ever freeze me with those feathers again, I'm plucking you like a chicken!!!

Remielle: (‍Wise... / Belle...‍) why are you here? Didn't I...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You're the one who said we were "partners in crime"! (‍Who leaves their partner behind like that? / What kind of partner just ditches someone like that?!‍)

Remielle: ...

Remielle: ...Sorry, I...

Save the apologies for later.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍You can apologize after this is over. / Save it for after this is over!‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What just happened? And what's that huge Ether glow over there?

Remielle: That's Girtablullu's cocoon.

Remielle: Since we ruined its plans, it's trying to absorb nearby Ether to make up for the energy deficit and force its fusion with the Karma Core... and completely devour Dracaene.

Remielle: I can't be certain... how much longer she can hold on.

Is there any way to stop it?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Is there any way to stop it?

Remielle: Do you see those new Ether growths nearby? Girtablullu created them. They're basically doing the equivalent of a blood transfusion, gathering Ether from the air and feeding it into the rapidly growing cocoon.

Remielle: In other words, if we cut off those growths, we can stop the cocoon from growing any further.

Are there any "main arteries" among those "blood vessels"?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Are there any "main arteries" among those "blood vessels"?

Remielle: Heh... Sharp as ever. Good. I found two in total. Sever them both, and the energy supply across this entire area will fail. Then we can destroy the cocoon.

Remielle: Now that Player 2 has joined the game, let's get ready to clear this stage at double speed.

Find a way to destroy Girtablullu's cocoon

Girtablullu has formed a "cocoon" in an attempt to forcibly merge with the Karma Core. It's been making Ether growths to funnel Ether into itself. Destroy those growths to stop the cocoon's growth. Remielle has already pinpointed the two most critical "main arteries." Move fast and sever them.

(Enter the tracks): Remielle: The space here is unstable. Watch your step!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'll (‍keep an eye onkeep an eye onText for Wise / watchwatchText for Belle‍) the tracks! Wait for me at the end!
(Detach from the tracks): Remielle: Move carefully! Something doesn't feel right...

(Approach the broken wall)
(A short cutscene plays, the cocoon glows): Remielle: (‍Wise,Wise,Text for Wise / Belle,Belle,Text for Belle‍) the cocoon's doing something! Watch out!

Keep an eye on the cocoon's changes

(Ongoing): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The cocoon is sending out blasts at intervals...!; Remielle: When they explode, get to the nearest cover immediately!

(On-screen tip): "Girtablullu's Cocoon" will periodically explode. Take cover to avoid damage!

(Approach the railing): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That's it! That's the first "artery"!

Approach the first main artery

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍The frequency of the blasts is increasing...The explosions are becoming more frequent...‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I need to find a way into the next area.

(Board the railcar on the tracks): Remielle: This may get a little rough. Be careful!

Approach and destroy the first main artery

(Ongoing): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Its activity level is still (‍climbing!climbing!Text for Wise / going up!going up!Text for Belle‍); Remielle: Don't panic! Whatever happens, stay clear of the blast!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Understood. Remielle, how are things on your side?Understood. Remielle, how are things on your side?Text for Wise / Got it. Remielle, how's it going on your end?Got it. Remielle, how's it going on your end?Text for Belle‍); Remielle: I've seen plenty worse than this. No need to worry about me.

(Approach the first artery): Remielle: The target growth is just ahead... I'll leave it to you, (‍Wise!Wise!Text for Wise / Belle!Belle!Text for Belle‍)

(Interact with the Ether Growths)
(A short cutscene plays, Pyrois stabs the growth and the cocoon dims slightly)

Head to the second main artery

(Ongoing, as Remielle flies overhead): Remielle: This route looks safer. Go this way!

(Enter the building): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remielle, how's the cocoon looking?; Remielle: Seems to be even more active than before... What a nuisance!; Remielle: Rest for a moment... then we'll push through in one go!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Be careful... (‍Keep clear of the blast zone.Keep clear of the blast zone.Text for Wise / Don't get caught in the blast!Don't get caught in the blast!Text for Belle‍); Remielle: I'm fine... I've made it through worse than this.

(Passing by the fan, a blast destroys the wall): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍The blasts have grown stronger again...Ugh, the blasts are getting stronger!The blasts have grown stronger again...Ugh, the blasts are getting stronger!Text for Wise‍)

Approach the second main artery

(Approach the tracks): Remielle: (‍Wise,Wise,Text for Wise / Belle,Belle,Text for Belle‍) take the tracks to the next target!

Keep approaching the second main artery

(While running on the tracks, a railcar flies towards Phaethon): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Not good!; Remielle: I got it!^{[Note 1]}; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Using the railcar as cover... I'm impressed!
(Detach from the tracks)

Destroy the second main artery

(Ongoing): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): We're (‍approachingapproachingText for Wise / getting closer togetting closer toText for Belle‍) the second target growth!; Remielle: Destroy it, and the cocoon's growth should stop completely...; Remielle: I'll clear a path for you. Go!

(Interact with the Ether Growths)
(A short cutscene plays, Pyrois stabs the growth and the cocoon lets out a shockwave before dimming slightly)

Approach and destroy Girtablullu's cocoon

(Ongoing): Remielle: This way! We're nearly there!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Ugh! The closer I get to the cocoon, the (‍strongerstrongerText for Wise / worseworseText for Belle‍) its reaction becomes...; Remielle: That only proves we've got it cornered.

(While running down the path): Remielle: Move in during the gaps between explosions!

(Enter the tracks): Remielle: (‍Wise,Wise,Text for Wise / Belle,Belle,Text for Belle‍) ready to punch right through it?; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Template:MCReady!Absolutely!; Remielle: Match my rhythm!
(Quick-time event, press )

Girtablullu's Evolution

Video Summary: No matter how much it grows, it's just a pitiful creature that can never reach the top.

(A cinematic plays): Remielle: Don't let your guard down... It's not over; Girtablullu: Too late...; Girtablullu: Evolution complete!; Remielle: Together!; Girtablullu: Pathetic!; Remielle: (‍Wise!Wise!Text for Wise / Belle!Belle!Text for Belle‍); Girtablullu: Puny humans...; Girtablullu: Become the sacrifice for my rebirth!

This is my evolution!; Girtablullu - Stagnant Aberrant: If only I'd tasted this power sooner...; Girtablullu - Stagnant Aberrant: I'd never have wasted my time pretending to be human!; Remielle: I had no idea Ethereals could be so talkative.; Remielle: Then let those be your final words in this world.; Girtablullu - Stagnant Aberrant: You are nothing but puny humans... Kneel before my power!

(On-screen tip): Activating Defensive Assist can break the Corruptive Barrier faster.

(After breaking the Corruptive Barrier): Girtablullu - Stagnant Aberrant: Karma Core... I am a child of the Creator. Answer my call!; Girtablullu - Stagnant Aberrant: Devour my shell. Taste my Ether...; Girtablullu - Stagnant Aberrant: Until... until we fuse completely...; Remielle: It devoured half of itself just to keep fighting...; Remielle: ...Is this how a beast born from the Hollow thinks?; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍What an awful sight...What an awful sight...Text for Wise / How tragic...How tragic...Text for Belle‍) Let's put it out of its misery!

Aerial Deathmatch

Video Summary: No matter how much it grows, it's just a pitiful creature that can never reach the top.

(A cinematic plays): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Almost there!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): If we can just...; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Expose its core...; Remielle: Hang in there!; Remielle: Follow my lead!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): It's getting away... We have to catch it!; Remielle: (‍Wise,Wise,Text for Wise / Belle,Belle,Text for Belle‍) you should take a breather; Remielle: Now then...; Remielle: It's finally time to get serious; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm counting on you; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remie!
(Cinematic ends)

(Ongoing): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remie! Capture it alive and save Dracaene from inside the core...!; Remielle: It's been a long time since I've fought in the skies... but this is my domain.; Remielle: Show me what else you have, Girtablullu!

(On-screen tip): Tap to fire a barrage at Girtablullu, and move to dodge its laser attack

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Template:MCIt's charging up... Get ready for a ranged attack!Looks like it's charging up... Watch out for ranged attacks!

Remielle: Oh? You wish to test your firepower against mine?

Remielle: Vanishing on me, are you? Hoping to catch me off guard?

(On-screen tip): Girtablullu is preparing a surprise attack. Tap to counter it.

Remielle: Always attacking from behind... Can't you face me head on?

Remielle: Unfortunately for you... I don't leave openings.

Remielle: Bringing down the pillars to block my path again? Out of my way!

Remielle: An attack this weak... It won't be long now.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Its core is (‍nearly / about to be‍) exposed!

Remielle: Good... Time to end this.

Remielle: And that's... checkmate, monster!

Remielle: I hope you enjoy this dance of death.

The Fall of Girtablullu

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

The Fall of Girtablullu

Video Summary: Villains just naturally come in pairs, don't they?

(A cinematic plays): Remielle: Checkmate; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Dracaene is inside its core...!; Remielle: I'll handle this; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): She's still alive...; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): But fading quickly; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'll stabilize her Ether Activity; Remielle: It just devoured Girtablullu and left...; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Why?; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remie, are you okay?!; Remielle: I'm fine...; Remielle: Forget chasing that big one; Remielle: Saving Dracaene is what matters now; Remielle: We still need to see this little act through to the end...; Remielle: Don't we?; Lindverne: Suspect's location confirmed...; Lindverne: All units, Combat Readiness Level One!
(Cinematic ends)

Lindverne: S-rank wanted criminal Remielle Dan... You would do well not to resist in vain.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Lindverne? Why is she here? Isn't she supposed to be in Vyrium?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (I don't (‍understand the situation yet, / know what's going on,‍) but... I (‍need / have‍) to explain this to her.)

Sigrid: You there, unfamiliar face. I do not know your identity, but if you have nothing to do with this, do not act rashly!

Sigrid: Our first priority is to ensure Lady Dracaene's safety and arrest the criminal who attempted to take her life.

Sigrid: If you understand your position, remain silent and do not interfere with our official duties!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Sigrid... Is she (‍signaling me not to interfere? / telling me to stay out of this?‍) Why would she do that...? (‍What happened while I was out? / Why am I being kept in the dark?)‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Why would she do that...? What happened while I was out?)

Remielle: Remielle... hand over Dracaene beside you. Do not try anything foolish.

Remielle: ...You mean this little one? Heh. I was beginning to tire of her anyway... Take her back. She's still breathing... Whether she survives is up to you.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Remielle... Why does it feel like you knew this was coming? What are you trying to pull?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Remielle... Why does it feel like you expected this? What are you trying to pull?)

Remielle: ...

Remielle: ...*sigh* I thought this little one's disappearance would throw you all into chaos... I didn't expect you to catch up so quickly. How dull. Time to bring this game to a close.

Daniel: The former Void Hunter, Remielle Dan... I never imagined a legendary figure like her could still be alive! But... Why would she be the one to attempt to assassinate Lady Sunbringer?!

Alma: If Lady Lindverne had not rushed back from Vyrium in time, who knows what would've...

Owen: Lady Lindverne went out of her way to bring us here, so that we might witness the legendary Void Hunter's arrest alongside the soldiers. Quite a sight.

Owen: However, as a TOPS member, I am far more concerned with the truth behind another assault!

Lindverne: ...Mr. Owen I know what you mean... But I believe the answer lies with the very same person.

Lindverne: Answer me, Remielle. Was it you who abducted Dracaene at the welcome banquet and left her gravely injured?

Remielle: Hehe... Naturally.

Lindverne: Were you also the one who infiltrated the Computing Center and attempted to murder Truvia, High Ambitions Corp.'s lead researcher?

Remielle: Yes, that was me.

Owen: What?! You... Why?!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Huh? No, no, wait, that's not what happened! The one who hurt Truvia was...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (No... wait. That's not what happened. The one who hurt Truvia was...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Ah, right... No one would believe Lady Dracaene was nearly devoured and assimilated by Girtablullu unless they saw it themselves...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Right... Without seeing it firsthand, no one would believe Lady Dracaene was nearly devoured and assimilated by Girtablullu...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Remielle... Don't tell me this was all for...)

Lindverne: I did not expect you to admit it so readily... You understand what your actions mean, do you not?

Remielle: *labored breathing* Of all times... now is when I've reached my limit...?

Remielle: What a pain... It's not... over yet...

Sigrid: Remielle, do not attempt to resist!

Remielle: *huff* No... I won't resist...

Remielle: I'll simply... vanish... right before your eyes... in an instant...

Accomplice Act

Video Summary: Villains just naturally come in pairs, don't they?

(A cinematic plays): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Sorry; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): But I'm done being a spectator; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): This performance of yours...; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You wouldn't mind one more joining, would you?; Remielle: ...You want to share the stage with someone like me?; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Let's finish this act together; Owen: What are you trying to do?!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Rescuing my partner in (‍crimecrimeText for Wise / crime~crime~Text for Belle‍); (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Until we meet again; Owen: Catch them!
(Cinematic ends)

With a weakened Remielle in tow, you flee to a hidden corner somewhere in Booastrum...

Remielle: *labored breathing* No... look away...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): It's okay now, Remielle.

Remielle: Please, don't... don't look at me.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Okay. I promise. I won't look.

Remielle: ...Thank you.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So... why didn't you tell me sooner? About your plan with Sigrid... and (‍Lady / even‍) Lindverne?

Remielle: Because... you and I are different.

Remielle: You still have somewhere to return to. But, I... I do not.

Remielle: The era I knew, the people I loved. Those memories... they are all long gone.

Remielle: So... I can't drag you into this...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You really are impossibly headstrong, Remielle.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You're the one who called me your "partner-in-crime." You're the one who held me together on that rainy night. And now you're leaving me behind?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Did you forget you're over a hundred years old already... How long are you (‍going to / gonna‍) keep acting like a cranky (‍child? / kid?‍)

Remielle: ...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I get it. Sometimes... someone's (‍has step up and do what must be done. / gotta step up and do the hard thing.‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What happened to Dracaene, and to Truvia... someone has to answer for all of it.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): But that doesn't mean you have to shoulder (‍the burden all / all of it‍) alone.

Remielle: ...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Didn't you call me your "partner-in-crime"? Then act like it! Doing bad things together, running away together, getting ourselves wanted together... That's what partners do!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What kind of partner takes all the heat alone?! What kind of... What kind of friend does that?!

Remielle: ...

Remielle: You really are getting more silver-tongued by the day, (‍Wise. / Belle.‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm not trying to sweet-talk you... Can't you tell I'm really mad right now?

Remielle: Mm, I can hear it, (‍Wise... / Belle...‍) I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, my dear partner-in-crime.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So... what are you gonna do now?

Remielle: I... think I'll return to my refuge and rest for a while.

Remielle: The signs of the Enchainer transformation seem stable for now. Mmh... there shouldn't be... any major issues.

Remielle: As for what comes next... I'll leave that to Lindverne and Sigrid. I'm... a little tired.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Then I'm going with you.

Remielle: There's no need for that. I can walk on my own now.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...

Remielle: I know what you're thinking: "I can't let Remielle out of my sight again, or who knows what outrageous thing she'll do on her own." Right?

Remielle: I promise, this time I won't go anywhere... really. I only want to rest by myself for a while.

Remielle: Once I've recovered a little more... I'll come see you again. I promise.

Before you can answer, you hear the sound of wings beating behind you.
You two... will see each other again, right?

Lindverne and Sigrid pay a visit to express their gratitude, explain the reasons behind concealing the plan from (‍Wise / Belle‍), and deliver Remielle's invitation to meet.

Later, back at Amber Hall, you explain in detail to (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) and the others what happened...

Perhaps because you are too exhausted...
When you wake again, it is already early the next morning.

Cissia: (‍Wise, / Belle,‍) over here! Have some bacon!

Billy: Ketchup or mayo, Manager? I've got motor oil on the table too, if that's more your thing!

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Would you like an egg, (‍Belle? / Wise?‍)

Is it just me or...

Are you guys being overly friendly today?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Is it just me or... are you guys being overly friendly today?

Cissia: How can you say that? It's only been a day, and you're already skin and bones!

Billy: Manager, breakfast is a sacred tradition at Amber Hall, and everyone's gotta have their fill! Besides, when Velina and Norma stopped by last night, they were just as worried as the rest of us!

Cissia: Seriously, that was way too close! I was SO worried...! Thank goodness everything worked out!

Yeah... I guess so...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Yeah, thankfully...

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): You're (‍still worried / worried‍) about Truvia, aren't you? I think she's still in intensive care...

The doorbell rings at the entrance...

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Ah, come in!

Sigrid: Please excuse the intrusion.

Lindverne: Hey, everyone. Sorry for dropping by unannounced.

Cissia: L—L—L—Lady Sunbringer!

Lindverne: Oh, please, Lindverne is fine. I can never get used to being "Lady" this and "Lady" that. Do I really look that old?

Lindverne: Whoa, now that's a breakfast spread I'll have to try myself sometime! But first, let's get down to business.

Sigrid: Forgive the early visit, but we bring good news — Miss Truvia has been stabilized! She is still unconscious, but no longer in critical condition!

Really?! Thank goodness...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Really? That's a relief... I'm glad to hear that. / Really?! Thank goodness... I'm so glad to hear that...‍)

Lindverne: And, allow me to formally thank you on behalf of Roscaelifer. It's because of your efforts that we get to have peaceful mornings like this one.

I only did what I had to do.

And I owe all of you, too.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I can't take all the credit. I only did what I had to do.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): And I owe all of you, too. (‍Sorry / My bad‍) for not thinking about what would happen after everything.

Sigrid: (‍Wise, / Belle,‍) I owe you an apology. Remielle and I kept our plan from you, but it was not because we doubted you, rather...

I know.

You were just worried about me.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I know. You were just worried about me and didn't want anything bad to happen.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): But there's something I need to ask. Now that Remielle's cooperating with you, what's going to happen to her?

Lindverne: Actually, we'll be taking her to Vyrium soon. Oh, relax — not as a criminal, but as a friend who needs our protection.

Lindverne: As for her ongoing Enchainer transformation... we can treat it with Porcelloy. In return, she'll help us stabilize Dracaene's condition with her unique ability.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): How is Lady Dracaene doing now?

Cissia: Why does this all sound so serious...

Lindverne: ...

Lindverne: Her condition... isn't great, but Flint Workshop is keeping things under control. For now.

Lindverne: Oh, right. Remielle knew we were coming, so she asked me to pass along a message: she's already waiting for you at the "usual spot."

Really? Then I'll go see her right now!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Really? Then I'll go (‍meet / see‍) her right now!

Huh? Right now?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍R—Right now? / Huh? Right now?‍) She really does love catching people off guard...

Cissia: Hey, (‍Wise, / Belle,‍) aren't you going to see Remielle? Why are you going upstairs?

Lindverne: Cissia, curiosity isn't always a virtue, you know~
