Memories of the Forgotten

 Rest on the sofa
Chat with Remie before bed

---

That's the plan for tomorrow. Tonight, let's just rest on the couch.

(Restricted Area) Backflow Zone

(Idle)

Remielle: How'd you sleep on your first night as a wanted criminal?

(Talk to Remielle)

Remielle: After a crisis like today, I figured sleep wouldn't come easy for you. You doing alright, dear fellow wanted criminal?

Not bad... you?

Remielle: Me? Well, I'm clearly used to this situation already... so I'm fine, of course.

That's not what I'm talking about...

I'm talking about your physical condition...

Remielle: ...

Remielle: ...Heh, are you worried about me because I mentioned my Enchainer transformation?

Remielle: Relax. I'm tougher than you think. I can feel myself slipping slowly and irreversibly toward the abyss of an Enchainer... but I'm not about to turn into some monster anytime soon.

Remielle: You can rest assured I won't snap and attack you while we're working together~

Will using Thaumiel's Strength...

...Worsen your Enchainer transformation?

Remielle: Well... I'd be lying if I said it doesn't. The more I use Thaumiel, the stronger the Creator's Corruption. But I need that power, so there's no reason for me to hold back.

Remielle: Don't worry, (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / MissMissText for Belle‍) Worrywart~ My companion provided me with some specially-made medicine. When the Corruption gets too gnarly, I'll hide myself in this little room, use the calming medicine, and ride it out.

...Just like a week ago?

Remielle: ...Is this just your perceptiveness coming into play, or are you holding a grudge? But you're not wrong. A week ago, the back-to-back fighting pushed me right to the edge and I could barely keep the Corruption in check.

Remielle: The Corruption will show on my skin... and trust me, you don't wanna see it. Honestly, I don't want anyone seeing me like that either... all monstrous and ugly.

Remielle: I'd rather die.

Remielle: So, sorry for running. Took a week, but I finally got the symptoms under control.

Remie...

Remielle: ...Feels like we got way off track! Maybe your brooding vibes are rubbing off on me, (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / MissMissText for Belle‍) Sour Face. Anyway, I'm fine, at least for now.

Remielle: You should get some rest and take better care of yourself. We're counting on you tomorrow. If you really can't sleep, I don't mind giving you my bed.

(Talk to Remielle again, optional)

Remielle: What, actually can't sleep? Want me to give up the bed for you? It's super comfortable. You were sleeping like a baby on it earlier after passing out...

Remielle: ...Nah, never mind that. Between the rain and all the sweating today, the bed probably smells. Head home and get some sleep. If you really want to try out the bed, best save it for next time.

(Idle)

En-Nah Gang Bangboo: That's scary...

(Talk to the Guardboo by the Sofa, optional)

En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Ennah. (...Just barged right in.)

En-Nah Gang Bangboo: En-nuh-ehn (When I saw her coming over, I thought I was done for...)

Who are you talking about?

What's wrong?

En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Enneh! En-ehn-neh-nah... (Lady Sigrid, of course! I was standing guard by the phone booth elevator when I saw her walking straight toward me...)

En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Neh, ennah-neh... (She was muttering something like: "Last time, this is where we crossed paths. Maybe I can find some clues...")

And then she found the elevator...

So that's how she found this place...

En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Ennah... en-neh-nah! (No, actually... She spent forever poking around the phone booth, and it seemed like she totally missed the hidden elevator switch. I thought I was in the clear, but she'd actually figured it all out from the start!)

En-Nah Gang Bangboo: En-nah-nehne! (She stumbled on her way out, and that sent her crashing right through the floor of the phone booth, dropping straight down the elevator shaft! She must've clocked this as the entrance earlier and decided to skip the switch!)

En-Nah Gang Bangboo: En-nuh-nuh... ne! (No wonder they call her the legendary Sigrid... She's so sharp and so scary! Scared the circuits outta me!)

... ... ...

(I think she probably just slipped and fell...)

(Interact with the Sofa)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Feels like way too much happened today... My brain can barely keep up...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (There's no way I'm making it back to Amber Hall... I guess I'll (‍havehaveText for Wise / just havejust haveText for Belle‍) to stay here for the night...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (I hope (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) and the others won't worry... No, (‍of course theyof course theyText for Wise / they definitelythey definitelyText for Belle‍) will...)

Let's sleep.

Wait a moment.

Exhaustion soon overtakes you, and you fall asleep...

You toss and turn all night through a tangle of restless dreams, until Sigrid's voice cuts through the haze.

 Meet up with Sigrid

---

Sigrid's here. Go meet up with her.

(Restricted Area) Backflow Zone

(Ongoing)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Sigrid's here so early... I'd better go take a look.

(Approach the target location)

 Preparations Before Departure

---

Video Summary: End every sentence with "rawrr", rawrr!

Story Description: Early the next morning, Sigrid arrives at the En-Nah Gang's hideout with everything she needs to disguise herself for infiltrating Scamall Hollow. But something feels off about that crate...

---

---

Sigrid: Good morning. I have secured a Carrot for the Roswick area. As promised, I will escort you there.

Remielle: How do you intend to get us there? Surely not under the pretense of transporting newly captured fugitives?

Sigrid: ...

Sigrid: Of course not. I brought this.

(She definitely thought about it...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍(That hesitation was very telling... She really did consider taking us there as prisoners.)(That hesitation was very telling... She really did consider taking us there as prisoners.)Text for Wise / (That pause was too suspicious. She must have actually considered taking us there as prisoners...)(That pause was too suspicious. She must have actually considered taking us there as prisoners...)Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: So, what's inside?

Sigrid: Costumes and props. They should allow you to accompany me openly into Scamall Hollow.

Remielle: Ah, I see. Airspace Patrol uniforms... Hm, not a bad idea.

Now that's Sigrid for you.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Right.Right.Text for Wise / Right!Right!Text for Belle‍) If we're disguised as Airspace Patrol soldiers (‍and accompanyand accompanyText for Wise / accompanyingaccompanyingText for Belle‍) you in the Hollow, this (‍shouldshouldText for Wise / couldcouldText for Belle‍) work. (‍Thank you, Sigrid.Thank you, Sigrid.Text for Wise / Thanks, Sigrid!Thanks, Sigrid!Text for Belle‍)

Sigrid: Uh... hmm... ah... yes. That is the plan.

Sigrid: In—In any case, please hurry and change. Time is short. We must depart as soon as possible.

Before long, the three of you arrive at the port outpost near Booastrum...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...

Remielle: ...

Sigrid: Um... Is something the matter? Why have you fallen silent? Is... the size incorrect?

Remielle: It's, uh... not just the size... though the size is certainly part of the problem...

Remielle: Sigrid, are you serious? You expect this... to fool the Airspace Patrol soldiers?

Sigrid: Yes, I believe... it should serve well enough.

Remielle: No, no, no! There's no serving here! The Deputy Director of the Airspace Patrol traveling with Mr. Roar — two Mr. Roars, no less?! Is there anything in Roscaelifer more suspicious than that?!

Sigrid's decision...

She must have her reasons...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Remielle, calm down.Remielle, calm down.Text for Wise / Easy, Remielle, easy.Easy, Remielle, easy.Text for Belle‍) I'm sure Sigrid has her reasons for this.

Sigrid: Um... In truth, it was already rather late by the time I returned yesterday, and I had no time to prepare...

Sigrid: As luck would have it, one of our squad members found a Mr. Roar mascot suit near Beckford Street during yesterday's routine patrol... so I brought it with me.

Near Beckford Street...

Could it be from the day before yesterday...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Beckford Street... Remielle, is (‍this...this...Text for Wise / thisthisText for Belle‍) the one you left there the day before yesterday?

Remielle: ...

Sigrid: Oh? So you are fond of Mr. Roar, too, Remielle?

Remielle: I am not! How did you even arrive at that conclusion... Wait. There are two mascot suits here. Don't tell me...

Sigrid: Uh... The other one is mine.

Remielle: ...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...

Sigrid: Ahem... In any case, once we enter the outpost, I ask that you both cooperate and play your parts as Mr. Roar properly. Do not do anything that would reveal your identities.

Okay, rawrr~

We're the Roar-Roar Twins, rawrr~

Sigrid: (‍Understood,Understood,Text for Wise / Okay,Okay,Text for Belle‍) Deputy Director Sigrid. From now on, we're the Roar-Roar Twins, rawrr~~

Remielle: You seem rather pleased with yourself...

Sigrid: Stay in character, Remielle. Every sentence Mr. Roar says must end with "rawrr~"

Remielle: ...Understood, Deputy Director Sigrid, rawrr.

Sigrid: Very well. Since you are both prepared, let us move out!

 Negotiate with the outpost soldiers

Work with Sigrid to negotiate with the soldiers at the outpost and earn their trust.

 Legendary Misunderstanding Magnet

---

Video Summary: End every sentence with "rawrr", rawrr!

Story Description: Their advance is halted by Airspace Patrol soldiers stationed at the port outpost. Faced with questioning, Sigrid keeps a straight face and spins a web of nonsense, and somehow, the soldiers buy every word without a hint of suspicion. Suddenly, it all makes sense why Sigrid is the stuff of legend in Roscaelifer...

---

---

Suspicious APD Soldier: Good morning, Lady Sigrid! Up and about early as always, huh! Uh... they are...?

Sigrid: Mr. Roar...s.

Suspicious APD Soldier: I know it's Mr. Roar, but... why plural?

Sigrid: Obviously, Mr. Roar... has a twin.

Suspicious APD Soldier: Huh? Since when did that become part of his backstory? I've never heard of that before...

Sigrid: Hm? Did you really think Roscaelifer's massive pancake demand could be handled by a single Mr. Roar?

Sigrid: Mr. Roars, please tell my subordinate the truth.

I... I'm the Mr. Roar on odd-day shifts!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I... I'm the Mr. Roar who works on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays! Rawrr!

Remielle: I... I'm the Mr. Roar for the Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday shifts. Rawrr!

Suspicious APD Soldier: That signature catchphrase... yeah, that's definitely Mr. Roar. Wait, no, no! That's not the point here!

Suspicious APD Soldier: Lady Sigrid, why have you brought Mr. Roars out here?

Sigrid: ...For pancakes.

Suspicious APD Soldier: Huh? Pancakes? Is that some kind of mission codename...?

(Oh no, he's getting suspicious...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (whispers) Oh no, he's definitely suspicious... And why pancakes? Who would bring Mr. Roar into the Hollow just for pancakes?

Remielle: (whispers) I can't believe I actually went along with this absurd disguise plan...

Suspicious APD Soldier: Ah! I get it now, Lady Sigrid!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle) & Remielle: Huh?

Suspicious APD Soldier: The pancake ingredients were lost in the Hollow, weren't they? That's why you rushed two Mr. Roars in to help search for them!

Suspicious APD Soldier: I understand completely! Roscaelifer needs pancakes just as much as Airspace Patrol needs you and Lady Lindverne!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (What is this guy even talking about...? How did he get from pancakes to that?!)

Sigrid: ...

Sigrid: Affirmative... That is correct.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (No, no, no! That is definitely not what you meant! That pause was way too obvious!)

Suspicious APD Soldier: I understand everything now! Lady Sigrid, please wait a moment. I'll let you and the two Mr. Roars through right away!

Remielle: ...I don't want to think about how any of this makes sense anymore. Rawrr.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Agreed... My head hurts too. I'm starting to think a second brain might be necessary.Agreed... My head hurts too. I'm starting to think a second brain might be necessary.Text for Wise / Same here... My head hurts so much it feels like my brain is trying to grow back.Same here... My head hurts so much it feels like my brain is trying to grow back.Text for Belle‍) Rawrr.

Sigrid: The route is ready. We may depart whenever you are prepared.

Let's go!

Just a second

 Enter Scamall Hollow

---

Get the soldier to stand down and enter the Scamall Hollow.

Booastrum District

(Talking to Suspicious APD Soldier again repeats the same dialogue)

(Enter the Hollow)

Roswick

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

 Roswick

---

Video Summary: A "miracle" was born here once.

Story Description: The trio arrives at Roswick — a town swallowed by the Hollow. Sigrid gains a new understanding of Remielle's character.

---

---

Together, the three of you enter the Scamall Hollow. After a long journey, you finally reach your destination, Roswick...

Sigrid: Alright. From here on, there is no need to worry about being spotted by my subordinates.

Sigrid: There are no scheduled patrols in Roswick today... uh, what are you two doing...?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Pffft... (‍Finally got this headpiece off. I was beginning to wonder how much longer I could last in there.Finally got this headpiece off. I was beginning to wonder how much longer I could last in there.Text for Wise / finally... finally got this headpiece off... I was about to suffocate in there.finally... finally got this headpiece off... I was about to suffocate in there.Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: See? I told you. This costume is way too tight and stuffy. Getting stuck in it the other day was definitely not my fault.

Sigrid: ...

Remielle: It's not very polite to stare, Miss Deputy Director. Or is there something on my face?

Sigrid: No. Nothing like that.

Sigrid: I merely thought you seemed... somewhat more lively than I had expected.

Sigrid: You're quite different from the Remielle described in the records of the first-generation Void Hunters.

Remielle: Hmm... let me guess. In those records, we all come across as rather stern and proper, don't we?

Remielle: Well, I suppose that can't be helped. We were Void Hunters, after all. We had to look the part, especially the sort of Void Hunter people expected to see.

Remielle: The head of the Hoshimi family gets lost at the drop of a hat. Sunbringer is a bit socially awkward, and Joyous spends every other day nursing a hangover... You wouldn't expect any of that to make it into the official records, would you?

Sigrid: ...Indeed.

Remielle: But that was who they really were... nothing like the people described in those records.

What about you, Remielle?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What about you, Remielle? What's the real you like?

Remielle: The real me?

Remielle: Isn't she standing right in front of you already?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Knew it... (‍That's about what I expected.That's about what I expected.Text for Wise / I figured you'd say that.I figured you'd say that.Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: Oh my. Then we really are in sync.

Remielle: But let's save the gossip for later, shall we? Don't forget why we came here.

Sigrid: Yes. The central district of Roswick is just ahead. The device we are looking for should be there.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Okay, let's keep moving.

 Confirm the plan with Remielle

---

Now that we're at Roswick, ask Remielle about the situation, and confirm the mission target.

(Hollow) Roswick

(Ongoing)

Sigrid: Let us pass through this tunnel first.

Sigrid: Roswick should be just ahead.

(Approach the tracks)

(A short cutscene plays, the trio walks towards the town)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So this is... Roswick...

Sigrid: What a spectacle!

Remielle: Roswick... I never imagined this place would end up like this.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Huh? You've been here before?

Remielle: Yes. Back when there was still only one Sunbringer, over a hundred years ago.

Sigrid: ...

Remielle: That enormous building in the distance is called Meridian Hall. It was once a research facility personally overseen by Sunbringer.

Remielle: And the main focus of that research... was to work with Joyous and the others to verify whether the Rosetta Data computational model was viable.

Remielle: But as for how this place ended up in the Hollow... that I don't know.

Remielle: Of course, the research institute back then didn't look like this. At the very least, it wasn't so... twisted

After all that happened...

Does the equipment inside still work?

Remielle: Hmm... It should be fine.

Remielle: Many of the facilities inside Meridian Hall were made of Porcelloy, so they should be pretty Ether resistant.

Remielle: As for the spatial structure... we'll have to rely on the backdoor that Sunbringer left behind.

Backdoor?

Remielle: Hehe. You'll see when we get there.

 Head to Meridian Hall

---

We'll need the equipment at Meridian Hall to get the data. Head there first.

(Hollow) Roswick

(Enter the tracks)

Sigrid: Uh... (‍Mr. Wise,Mr. Wise,Text for Wise / Miss Belle,Miss Belle,Text for Belle‍) did you ride along the tracks like this last time as well...? Ugh...|

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Sorry, Sigrid. The first ride can be rather difficult to adjust to...Sorry, Sigrid. The first ride can be rather difficult to adjust to...Text for Wise / Sorry, Sigrid... Yeah, the first ride can be pretty rough...Sorry, Sigrid... Yeah, the first ride can be pretty rough...Text for Belle‍)

(Detach from the tracks)

Sigrid: Hm? What is that glowing over there?

Remielle: Well now, I never expected it would still be right where I left it.

 Obtain the glowing item in fromt of Meridian Hall

---

Defeat the enemies blocking your path and obtain the glowing item in front of Meridian Hall.

(Hollow) Roswick

(Enter combat)

(Opens [Character Intro] Sigrid (I) tutorial)

(Ongoing)

Sigrid: Looks like the nearby Ethereals spotted us... they are starting to gather.

Remielle: Call me any time you need my help.

Sigrid: There is no need. This is barely even a warm-up.

(On-screen tip)

Control Sigrid and press or launch the 4th hit of Basic Attack: Frost-Tipped Spear to enter Aerial Patrol Spear state. While in Aerial Patrol Spear state, hold to unleash Basic Attack: Converging Spear.

(After defeating the enemies)

Sigrid: Dealt with, for now.

Sigrid: Let us go see what that glowing object is.

(Interact with the "Key" Component)

Sigrid: This object... bears a strong resemblance to certain devices within the CCD...

Remielle: Yes. Both are Sunbringer's creations, after all.

Remielle: I'm surprised this "key" hasn't been affected by the spatial distortions. It remains intact... Guess we're pretty lucky.

Remie... what's this?

What does this key open?

Remielle: It's the key to Meridian Hall, the backdoor that Sunbringer left.

 Place the key component into the device

---

Place the first key component into the device

(Hollow) Roswick

(Ongoing)

Sigrid: This is a key, you say? But where is the door?

Remielle: For that, I'm afraid you'll have to ask Sunbringer herself.

(Interact with the "Key" Sensor Slot)

Remielle: Aside from Meridian Hall, most of the buildings here were residences and other facilities prepared for the researchers who worked here.

Remielle: In other words, even if they were swallowed by the Hollow, it wouldn't matter. There was nothing important inside them to begin with.

Remielle: But Meridian Hall is different. The prototype used to verify Rosetta Data is stored inside.

Remielle: Sunbringer... she always believed these instruments might still serve a purpose someday.

Remielle: So she designed a dedicated emergency restoration system for the entirety of Meridian Hall. That's the backdoor I mentioned.

Remielle: Once activated, it will rapidly restore the space both inside and outside to the uh "default state" recorded when the device was configured, allowing people to enter and leave.

So what are we waiting for?

Remielle: Hold your horses there, my impatient friend... Let me finish first. There's actually two parts to this key, and we need both to enter.

Remielle: Back then, Sunbringer gave each of us Void Hunters a copy of the key, just in case the unexpected happened.

Remielle: But... you know me. I thought it was quite troublesome, so... well... I simply hid both pieces of the key she gave me somewhere nearby.

Remielle: I mean, people hide spare keys under doormats or in flowerpots all the time, right?

So this was your own doing...

So the other part is here too?

Remielle: At least it worked out, right? If I had taken it with me back then, we'd be at a loss now.

Remielle: As for the other part of the key... hmm... if memory serves, I hid it somewhere... rather high up? I think.

Huh?

That is way too vague...

Remielle: *sigh* It was over a hundred years ago. Surely it's natural for me to have forgotten?

This feels suspicious...

You... didn't just toss it somewhere, did you?

Remielle: ...

Remielle: You sure are sharp... but careful there, Detective (‍Wise,Wise,Text for Wise / Belle,Belle,Text for Belle‍) or someone may just turn you into a static background asset with all RGB values set to 255.

Sigrid: You two, let us cut the chatter. Since this part is still here... it stands to reason that the nearby spatial structure has not changed too drastically.

Sigrid: Let us check the high ground nearby first. Perhaps we will find other clues.

Remielle: Okay, but before that, let's put this part of the key into the device.

(A short cutscene plays, the key component floats into the device slot)

 Look for the second key component

---

Search the nearby area for the second key component Remielle mentioned.

(Hollow) Roswick

(Ongoing)

Remielle: Only half the key was inserted, so only about that much of it was restored?

Sigrid: This way. It seems there is a path leading higher up.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Right. Let's take a look.Right. Let's take a look.Text for Wise / Yeah, let's go check it out.Yeah, let's go check it out.Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: That's... Sunbringer.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Sunbringer...? But (‍how...how...Text for Wise / how...?how...?Text for Belle‍)

 Hack into the robot to clear the path

Found the key component, but the path ahead is blocked. Try using the nearby robots to clear the way.

(Hollow) Roswick

Remielle: Let's take a look around here.

(Go up the stairs)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍I see it.I see it.Text for Wise / Ah, there it is!Ah, there it is!Text for Belle‍) The other half of the key is over there!

Remielle: See? Hehe... I told you it was hidden somewhere high nearby, did I not?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I should be able to unlock this path if I hack the robot.

(Hack into the robot)

Sigrid: I did not realise you were capable of such things.

(Hollow) Roswick

(Ongoing)

Echoes of the Past: ...Is that how one delivers good news... nearly gave me a heart attack...

Remielle: I truly do miss... who I used to be.

(Enter combat)

Sigrid: The Ethereals in this area are gathering again.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Is it just me or do the Ethereals seem interested in the Meridian Hall key too?

Remielle: Perhaps... that's just because it sparkles?

(After defeating the enemies)

Remielle: ...Go and take the key.

(Interact with the "Key" Component)

Remielle: You've been left here all this time... poor thing. Now, I'll take you to fulfill your purpose.

Echoes of the Past: ...The beginning... of a miracle...

Echoes of the Past: ...Rosetta... miracle... celebration...

Remielle: ...I know. A moment like this does call for celebration... just as it did back then.

Remielle, that voice...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remielle, that voice... Is that...?

Remielle: Yes. That's Beli.

...

Remielle: Alright, we have the key. Let's head back.

 Place the second key component into the device

---

Place the second key component into the device to unlock the door to Meridian Hall.

(Hollow) Roswick

(Ongoing)

Remielle: Goodbye... my old friends.

(Enter the tracks)

Echoes of the Past: ...Today's success... the first step... toward taking back the world...

Echoes of the Past: ...Be honest... joy...

Remielle: The echoes in the Hollow... They really know how to ruin the mood.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...Are you okay?

Remielle: ...Yes.

(Interact with the "Key" Sensor Slot)

(A short cutscene plays, the second key component floats to fit into the first)

Sigrid: It worked... The Meridian Hall has been fully restored!

Remielle: Well... that went rather smoothly. Let's hope everything inside is fine as well.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So this is where the Rosetta Data was born...

(Interact with the "Key" Sensor Slot again, optional)

A truly imaginative "key," and that sensor slot... You can't help but marvel at Lady Sunbringer's design genius.

Whether it's the shape of the "key" or the twisted, warped Meridian Hall itself, both bear a striking resemblance to a magic cube in constant rotation. Restoring a magic cube that's scrambled yet still follows certain patterns... it aligns perfectly with what Rosetta Data does. Maybe that's the true nature of Hollow navigation.

(Enter the Meridian Hall)

 Enter Meridian Hall

---

Enter Meridian Hall and find a device capable of accessing Hollow observation data.

(Hollow) Roswick

(Ongoing)

Sigrid: The space here is still shifting... The entire building should have returned to its original state by now, should it not?

Remielle: Yeah... Perhaps there's a delay? The device is over a hundred years old, after all. A little instability is to be expected, I suppose.

(Interact with the Door to the Interior)

Remielle: It seems the environmental changes won't affect our exploration much.

Sigrid: Mm. Let us keep moving forward.

(Enter combat)

Sigrid: Why are there Ethereals here as well...?

Remielle: If you aren't paying rent, I'm afraid I must ask you to move out.

(Second wave)

Sigrid: The space was hidden... No wonder so many Ethereals gathered here.

(Third wave)

Remielle: Is this the last one?

Sigrid: I was expecting something a little tougher.

(After defeating the enemy)

(A short cutscene plays)

Remielle: There it is, the device we're after

 Activate the prototype

Boot up the prototype and run the Rosetta Data decryption.

(Hollow) Roswick

(Ongoing)

Remielle: Let's go, (‍Wise.Wise.Text for Wise / Belle.Belle.Text for Belle‍) What comes next... only you can do.

(Interact with the Rosetta Data Terminal)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So this is the prototype they used to verify Rosetta Data...?

Sigrid: The equipment was not damaged in that fight, was it?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): It looks (‍intact on the outside.intact on the outside.Text for Wise / fine!fine!Text for Belle‍) It's a prototype, but the modules aren't that different from modern (‍systems.systems.Text for Wise / ones.ones.Text for Belle‍)

This is it...

Prototype, boot up!

(A short cutscene plays, the data terminal lights up)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): We did it!

Video Summary: The "Miracle" reboots here and now.

Story Description: The prototype boots up without a hitch. Now it's the Proxy's time to shine. (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍) locks in and begins calculating the critical path.

Remielle: Seeing these screens light up again after all this time... feels strange. Well? Can you work with it? Anything unclear?

It's surprisingly easy to use.

This system feels a lot like the HDD...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍No issues so far. If anything, it's been suspiciously smooth. This system... feels remarkably similar to the HDD.No issues so far.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Next, I'll connect to Prophetboo. He'll act as a relay node and mask our Rosetta Data request as normal traffic.

You establish the connection to the outside of the Hollow...

Griff: Ehn... gah... gah! (...Ah... Lady Rem...? Mast... oxy?)

Remielle: Oh, that's Griff. Looks like it worked!

Griff: Ehn... gah, ehn-ne-gah! (I'm... assist... phetboo. We can... now!)

Remielle: ...Need anything from us, (‍Wise?Wise?Text for Wise / Belle?Belle?Text for Belle‍)

Thanks, but not right now.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Thanks, but not right now.Thanks, but not right now.Text for Wise / Not for now, thanks!Not for now, thanks!Text for Belle‍) I've got this.

Sigrid: Understood. We will keep watch for any Ethereals and keep the area secure.

The Unreached Destination

 The Unreached Destination

---

Video Summary: We chased after miracles, yet none of us made it to the end.

Story Description: Watching (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍) focus on Hollow data, Remielle finds herself overlapping (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)'s image with the Sunbringer of the past, her thoughts drifting back to those days. She once had companions, once had dreams... yet in the end, neither she nor the other Void Hunters ever reached the promised destination.

	Sigrid: As expected of a Hollow specialist... The aura is completely different.
	Sigrid: Watching (‍him,him,Text for Wise / her,her,Text for Belle‍) it truly occurred to me that Rosetta Data was born here. Remielle: Yes, exactly.
	"Sunbringer": ...Link bandwidth stable. Verification unit synchronization complete. Professor, can you hear me? We can begin with data extraction.
	"Sunbringer": Everyone, I believe... I must now inform you of a major situation:
	Remielle: What?!
	"Sunbringer": The theoretical verification of Rosetta Data is complete. It was a resounding success.
	Remielle: Oh...! Is that how one delivers good news? You nearly gave me a heart attack! "Swordmaster": I believe this is due to Miss Sunbringer practicing the "composure training" I recommended.
	Remielle: How many more people do you intend to torment with your family's strange tradition?! "Joyous": *yaaawn...* So loud...
	"Joyous": That's quite the commotion... I take it the experiment was a success?
	Remielle: Yes, very much so. It would have been even more successful if the core technology provider had simply stayed asleep. "Joyous": Even a little nap earns me that much grief...? I was merely showing full confidence in my colleagues' professional competence.
	"Joyous": Besides, today's success is only the first step toward taking back the world.
	Beliora: Alright, alright. At a time like this, why not be honest and express a little joy? Beliora: Even if the Rosetta Data is only the beginning, it is still the beginning of a miracle. Let us celebrate properly, shall we? And Professor Arche, don't even think about skipping it.
	"Joyous": Then... let's throw a party, like the one Mayflower treated us to last time.
	Remielle: Don't tell me you're planning to drink until the next morning again... Beliora: The Professor will throw him out, just like last time. "Sunbringer": Hmm... Then let us hold a ball with soft drinks only.
	"Joyous": Hey, you people...
	Remielle: Back then, we thought taking back the world was only a matter of time.
	Remielle: As long as our companions were by our side, there was nothing we couldn't do.
	Remielle: We could even go anywhere...
	Remielle: But in the end, none of us reached the promised destination.

Video Summary: We chased after miracles, yet none of us made it to the end.

Story Description: Path Data processing complete. The next step is to head back to Roscaelifer and prepare the next move. But even as the plan unfolds, Remielle's mind is already brewing something new.

Time passes...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Phew... finally. This should (‍take care of it.take care of it.Text for Wise / do the trick.do the trick.Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: No, I'm alright. I simply... wanted a little more time to look around. This place brings back memories of some old friends.

Are you sure you're okay?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Are you sure you're okay, Remielle?

Remielle: I'm perfectly fine, really. Now that the calculations are done, let's head back.

Remielle: If we stay much longer, we'll miss tonight's banquet.

You successfully upload the complete path data to Prophetboo.
Afterward, you change back into the Mr. Roar costume and return together to the En-Nah Gang's hideout...

Entrusted Trust

 Entrusted Trust

---

Video Summary: Trust what's right in front of you, trust your instincts, trust the eyes of those two.

Story Description: The action path and item preparations are complete. Faced with a request for assistance from (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍) and Remielle, Sigrid ultimately chooses to trust them and sees things through — the understanding they have built through working side by side finally gives her the confidence to believe that those before her are no villains.

---

---

Back at the hideout, you immediately head to Remie's room to start crafting and calibrating small devices for triggering Singularity Leakages. After an intense grind, you manage to put together enough of them just before the welcome banquet.

While calibrating the devices, Remie and Sigrid quietly slipped out, then slipped back in just as quietly sometime later. Though you're curious what they said... you need to focus and hurry to make sure the plan goes smooth.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍This should be everything. Here, Sigrid. You got my instructions earlier, right?This should be everything. Here, Sigrid. You got my instructions earlier, right?Text for Wise / Yeah, this should do it... Here you go, Sigrid. I explained how to use everything earlier, right?Yeah, this should do it... Here you go, Sigrid. I explained how to use everything earlier, right?Text for Belle‍)

Sigrid: Yes, (‍Mr. Wise.Mr. Wise.Text for Wise / Miss Belle.Miss Belle.Text for Belle‍) I simply need to place these devices at your designated locations, correct?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Yeah. Once the impostor appears, I'll activate the devices and create a small Singularity Leakage at the venue.

Remielle: Meanwhile, I'll use Thaumiel's power to immobilize both it and everyone at the venue.

Remielle: Then, before it has time to react, I'll drag it through the leakage and into the Hollow.

Remielle: Finally, we subdue it and rescue Dracaene.

Sigrid: ...

Sigrid: Very well. Understood. I will do everything in my power to help you enter the venue unnoticed.

Sigrid: However... if the worst-case scenario occurs...

Sigrid: If, in the end, our conclusions are proven wrong, and this was all fabricated by (‍Mr. Wise...Mr. Wise...Text for Wise / Miss Belle...Miss Belle...Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: Then the banquet will become the place where you arrest both the "fugitive who attempted to assassinate Eldreda" and the "fugitive who attempted to assassinate Dracaene."

Remielle: I imagine (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍) would have no objections to that, would you?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): No. I promise.

Sigrid: ...

Sigrid: Then... may none of us betray the trust we have placed in each other.

Let's go!

Hang on, let me get ready.

 Head to the banquet

---

When you're ready, head on over to the banquet.

(Restricted Area) Backflow Zone

(Talk to Remielle, optional)

Remielle: Even after getting this far... it's still kinda hard to believe, honestly.

Remielle: What I can't wrap my head around is how Roscaelifer could spiral into such a mess with Sunbringer in charge.

You mean...

Remielle: It's nothing, just a feeling.

Remielle: The Sunbringer I know is sharp, calculated, brilliant... I find it rather unbelievable she's just watching this all happen from the sidelines.

Remielle: Beyond the case here, I get the feeling that something's happened, something still shrouded in mystery, involving Roscaelifer and Sunbringer alike.

...

Remielle: But thinking about that right now won't get me anywhere. Let's deal with this first.

Remielle: Hey, don't get too nervous. I've got your back, and I won't hold back.

(Interact with the Small Singularity Leakage Device, optional)

A small Singularity Leakage device hastily cobbled together from scraps found in the Retroflux Zone, under extreme time pressure. It draws inspiration from the cause of the previously fallen Bangboo's Corruption... as well as the viral program from the corrupted mech deep within the Retroflux Zone.

The device simulates the structure of a Bangboo's Logic Core as closely as possible, with potent Ether from a Singularity Leakage in the Retroflux Zone implanted inside. A timed program has been written into the device that automatically activates at a set time, causing the potent Ether to rapidly leak out and form a Singularity Leakage.

The Ether it holds within is limited, and the device itself is crudely made, so the Singularity Leakages it creates are tiny... But as long as you can make sure the areas of different Singularity Leakages overlap just enough, you can use the passages they form to send Girtablullu back to the Scamall Hollow.

This last device needs to be placed at the banquet venue and manually activated with Pyrois' recently awakened power... Here's hoping the plan goes as well as we hope.

(Talk to Sigrid again if exited dialogue)

Sigrid: We should get ready to go, you two. The banquet will begin shortly.

Let's go!

Hang on, let me get ready.
