Unexpected

Video Summary: A haunting figure that doesn't even look back.

Story Description: While working, Grace was attacked by Ethereals. Koleda was more worried about Grace's safety than retrieving the prototype, but Grace insisted finding the prototype was the top priority.

Anton: Alright! All three machines have been delivered to their designated locations!

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Grace, do you copy? It's time to start sending signals to the prototype.

Grace: Roger that! The rest is up to you, my children! It's time to call your elder!

Grace: ...

Grace: I've got it. We're getting a message back from the boring machine... All three machines are receiving a signal from the prototype!

Anton: Haha, awesome!

Anton: What's going on? What's that noise on your end, Grace?

Grace: It's nothing, just some Ethereals. I'll deal with them in a minute. It seems the high-frequency signal from the transmitter not only affects the prototype, but gets Ethereals riled up too.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): No, Grace, wait! I'm detecting multiple individuals with high Ether activity approaching you.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): I'm afraid you and the pile driver may have trouble fending them off!

Koleda: Stop transmitting the signal, Grace! You and the pile driver have to get out of there! Don't provoke the Ethereals!

Grace: No can do, sweet pea. Didn't the Proxy say we can't let the transmission be interrupted until we decode the signal?

Koleda: I'm ordering you to stop transmitting immediately! We'll try again after we've dealt with the Ethereals!

Grace: I'll be frank, Koleda. The prototype is sending a signal, but the time interval between replies is getting longer and longer.

Grace: That means the prototype's communication module no longer has the power to send confirmation replies for every message. If we stop now we won't get a second chance.

Grace: The prototype's logic core is vital to Belobog, so I can't give up that easily.

Koleda: Don't be stupid, Grace! It's not about whether you give up or not! You can't handle that many Ethereals by yourself! Even without the prototype, we can still develop new tech—

Grace: That'll have to do, Koleda.

Grace: My guests have arrived. I can't greet them properly while talking to you.

Koleda: Wait, don't go! Grace! Sis!

Koleda: Damn it! Why does nobody ever listen!

Koleda: Proxy, we have to go save her!

Glad You're Alright

Video Summary: A haunting figure that doesn't even look back.

Story Description: After a successful rescue, Grace and Koleda reconciled. Though deeply caring for each other, they still struggle to be completely honest with one another.

Anton: The Ethereals have all been dealt with.

Koleda: Grace? How's the situation?

Grace: Don't worry, communication with the prototype wasn't broken...

Koleda: That's not what I'm asking! I mean are you hurt?!

Koleda rushes in—

Grace: Ugh—!

Grace: Ow ow ow... Koleda, what was that for?!

Koleda: That's what you get! Why did you disobey a direct order from your president?! You even cut communication!

Koleda: Even a hopeless tech geek like you must have limits to your madness!

Koleda: You say it's for the benefit of Belobog? If anything happened to you, even if we found the prototype, who's gonna do the research on it?!

Grace: Hold on, Sweet Pea, let me explain—

Koleda: I don't want to hear it!

Koleda is right, Grace.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Koleda is right, Grace. We shouldn't risk our lives.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): We all know you're doing this for Belobog Industries and Koleda, but if something happened to you... How would Koleda face all of this?

Grace: ...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have disconnected. All I was thinking about was how I could possibly deal with the Ethereals while staying in communication.

Grace: I was confident I could hold off until you arrived, but I didn't explain myself clearly, nor did I consider your feelings. For that, I'm sorry.

Calm down, Koleda...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Calm down, Koleda. Grace's decision to cut off communication may not be commendable, but she wasn't acting recklessly.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): We were monitoring the situation from a distance, and she remained calm while fighting off the Ethereals. It's precisely because of her that our search for the prototype hasn't failed.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Grace knew the situation here, but things were urgent and she didn't know how to explain it to you.

Koleda: ...I get it. I should have listened to what she had to say.

Grace: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made you worry.

Koleda: It's over now. I'm just glad you're alright.

If you guys could just be honest with each other.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍You two actually care about one another. If only you could just be honest with each other. / You two clearly clearly care about each other. If you could just be honest with each other.‍)

Koleda: Proxy, we can move onto the next step in finding the prototype, right?

Koleda: Let's go. Grace went to great lengths to maintain that signal. We can't let her efforts go to waste.

Old Haunts

Video Summary: The prolonged silence stems from the fear of loss.

Story Description: You discovered the location of the prototype, which happened to be the Pioneer's Memorial Plaza constructed by Belobog Heavy Industries during Khors time as president.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), your current location is the most suitable one to amplify the signal. Wait a second, Fairy and I will soon have the prototype's position.; Fairy: Calculating coordinates... Prototype location found — generating a map of the area.; Fairy: Reminder. Since there are no working cameras in the Hollow, the map was generated using street camera images from many years ago based on the coordinates.; (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): I'm sending you the map Fairy has (‍createdcreatedText for Wise / drawn updrawn upText for Belle‍).; Meanwhile—; Grace: Got it! Let me see...
(Obtain Site Diagram): Grace: Hmm, it's not very clear, I can just about make out a strangely-shaped tower...; Ben: Grace — Let me see that!; Ben: Ah, this is—; Koleda: What's wrong Ben? Is there a problem with the prototype's location?; Ben: President, back then...; Ben: Just before the former president disappeared, Belobog was awarded construction rights for a project in a new development area: the Pioneer's Memorial Plaza.; Ben: This isn't a tower... It's a monument in the center of Memorial Plaza!; Koleda: What?!; Koleda: The prototype is located in the plaza that the old man never finished?! But...but why?; Ben: I don't know what's going on... But looking at the picture, I have a bad feeling about it.; Ben: The prototype's sudden appearance — it's like the president is trying to tell us something.; Anton: Right! Didn't Friday say Khors was calling it?; Koleda: You're overthinking it.; Koleda: It might've brought up the name Khors, but an "Enlightened Sinner," "stabilizing the seal"? It's all nonsense.; Koleda: But I am curious about what the prototype is doing here. We should go check it out.

Said Out Loud

Video Summary: The prolonged silence stems from the fear of loss.

Story Description: Koleda tells Grace her memories of the day her father left home. Deep down, Koleda doesn't really want to believe her father is a bad person.

Anton: The monument is just ahead. We're almost there! This is a pretty rough path, so watch your step.

Koleda: Anton, let the Proxy sit on the machine. Grace, is something wrong? You're so slow.

Grace: Me? I was just thinking about something.

Koleda: Good. If you're hurt and trying to hide it from me, you'll be in for it!

Grace: Hey, sweet pea, we're family, don't be mean.

Koleda: What...

Grace: When I was in danger earlier, you called me "sis," right?

Grace: *sigh* Memories... I haven't heard you call me that since you became the president of Belobog.

Koleda: Really? I didn't notice. I must've yelled it without thinking... in the heat of the moment.

Koleda: I saw the danger you were in, facing those Ethereals, and my mind went blank. I could only think of one thing: I don't want to lose another family member.

Koleda: You risked your life for Belobog's future, but as president, there was nothing I could do... I haven't been a very good president.

Grace: Keep saying that and I'm going to get angry, sweet pea. I know better than anyone how hard you've worked these past years.

Grace: You're still growing, but you work from early in the morning to late at night. Am I gonna need to be the one to tell you you're not a machine?

Grace: You say you're not interested in technical stuff, but your desk is all stuffed with my well-worn technical papers...

Grace: Even though they're well-written, a kid your age... I don't know, shouldn't you be reading comics or something?

Grace: Compared to you, maybe it's me who's incompetent. I said that I was doing it for the future of Belobog, but perhaps I was just trying to salvage Uncle Khors' legacy.

Grace: I thought if you could just see the prototype in person, you'd understand what an amazing man he was.

Grace: It's sad to think someone that outstanding is rejected by his own daughter.

Koleda: Sis...

Grace: But, ever since that day you said I knew nothing, well, I noticed some clues and started connecting the dots.

Grace: Koleda, have you been hiding something about Khors?

Koleda: I...

Koleda: The night dad went missing... I saw him leave with my own two eyes.

Koleda: It was late at night, and I was woken up by the sound of a phone call from the living room. I came out of my room to see what was going on, and I saw him clutching this bulging bag. He was planning to leave without saying goodbye.

Koleda: I had a bad feeling about it, so I ran over to stop him. I asked him where he was going, but...

Koleda: His bag was yanked open and I saw it was filled with stacks of banknotes... I learned later it was the money missing from Belobog's accounts!

Grace: I had no idea something like that happened...

Koleda: Heh, yeah... After that, plus the Public Security report, I just can't believe in him as much as you guys do.

Grace: So you suffered alone all these years?

Grace: Why didn't you tell anyone? Wouldn't it have been easier to just get it out?

Koleda: Who knows. I guess I thought if I said it out loud, that'd officially make him a bad person.

Koleda: Ha... But you're right, I do feel better.

Grace: Just promise me one thing, sweet pea, okay? Whatever happens in the future, we face it together. Belobog is your home, even without Khors. Me, Anton and Ben, we're all your family.

Koleda: Okay, I promise.

Grace: Besides, how's that saying go... "Facts aren't always the truth." Maybe Khors had another reason for leaving that day.

Grace: I'm not asking you to accept my point of view, but the mystery surrounding Khors will always haunt Belobog, so we'll keep looking for answers.

Grace: Right now, our priority is finding the prototype. Let's get going.
