Wrong PathVideo Summary: Beyond the darkness lies an even deeper darkness.
Story Description: You've been surrounded by the rebels, and your fake identities have been leaked. Soldier 11 stayed behind to hold back the rebels, and asked you to help her lost comrades.
- Soldier 11: ...Mr. Mole, Phaethon has guided me to the meeting place, but your leader isn't here.
- Soldier 11: And... there are soldiers everywhere. What's going on?
- Mr. Mole: Hahaha, BWAhahaha!!
- Mr. Mole: Does my laughter sound full of rage, Sergeant?
- Mr. Mole: Because I can hardly contain my anger!
- Mr. Mole: You dare take advantage of my admiration for Phaethon with this impostor!
- Soldier 11: Calm down, Mr. Mole. I don't know what you're talking about.
- Mr. Mole: Don't treat me like a fool! I know you don't intend to defect!
- Mr. Mole: Does the name "Crimson Twilight" sound familiar to you?
Nope.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Doesn't ring a bell.Doesn't ring a bell. /
Not really...Not really...) - Mr. Mole: You see, that crafty broker Shepherd's intelligence network has long since been compromised.
- Mr. Mole: I'm not interested in personal grudges between intelligence brokers, of course. All you need to know is... this is the end for you!
- The rebels gradually close in around them, but Soldier 11 stands still, as if frozen. The only audible sound is her light breath rushing through the hair next to her cheek, making subtle murmurs through the microphone.
- Soldier 11: "We don't wage wars unprepared." I don't expect bugs scavenging in the dirt to understand matters of military integrity.
- Mr. Mole: What are you talking about?
- Soldier 11: You're not the only ones who planned ahead. Our elite soldiers are on their way right now.
- Soldier 11: Surrender your weapons while you can. Otherwise, you'll become nothing but martyrs.
- Soldier 11: —Trigger, current position status— What? It's not going through...
- Mr. Mole: Don't bother, Sergeant and impostor!
- Mr. Mole: I'm sure you're familiar with signal jamming, right? This equipment belongs to the Defense Force, after all.
- Mr. Mole: That's right. It's the transmission device you tried bugging me with last time... You modified it to record any messages it sent, but you never expected it to have already been modded — by me!
- Mr. Mole: Now, across the entire Hollow, only our troops can communicate...
- Mr. Mole: Your dear comrades in the Defense Force are like headless flies right now.
- Mr. Mole: But they won't be waiting long. We'll send them to their deaths right after dealing with you—
- Soldier 11: You're fooling yourselves, traitors!
- Soldier 11: Leave these fools to me. I'll hold them off to buy you some time.
- Soldier 11: Now fake Phaethon. Please go help my lost allies.
- (After the cutscene)
- Soldier 11: Run! I'll hold them off!
- (Soldier 11 has left the squad.)

- Fairy Scanner: "I've detected the enemy signal has disappeared."
- Fairy Scanner: "Given the client's difficult situation, I suggest you get in touch with the Defense Force as soon as possible."
- Starting Point: You retreat under Soldier 11's protection, but this isn't the end. Faced with the immediate crisis, the legendary Proxy Phae— Crimson Pepper chooses to—
- Get in touch with the Defense Force?
- Let's do it.
- ...What should we do?
- The Almighty Fairy: "You needn't worry, your all-powerful assistant has located a nearby Defense Force contact station."

- Defense Force Contact Station: ...You finally arrive at the contact station.
On the table, there are scattered cards and bags of red bean bread. It seems that someone was here not long ago, and there's a high chance that the communication device is still functional. - Start contact with the Defense Force!
- Start from an encrypted channel—
- Open all receivers!

Story Description: Fairy suggests rebuilding a new communication network. Soldier 11's teammate Trigger made contact with you, and provided sniper cover so you can return to Soldier 11.
