Lady de Winter: 3

Lady de Winter: 2

(Meanwhile, Wise makes a break for the control room)

Wise: There's no time! If the engines get damaged...

Lady de Winter: 1

Lady de Winter: Everyone, welcome to my late husband's funeral

(The Starloop's thrusters explode)

Astra Yao: You will NOT hurt my fans!

(Astra uses her microphone to stabilize the falling tower)

Astra Yao: I'll use my singing...

Astra Yao: To protect everyone!

Evelyn: Miss Yao!

Lady de Winter: How rude of you—

Lady de Winter: It's not over yet!

(A Terror Raptor descends onto the stage and destroys Starloop's power supply)

Astra Yao: No! The Harmonic Core!

Bangboo (Belle): The Starloop's lost power. Wh—What do we do?!

Lady de Winter: The only song fit for a funeral—

Lady de Winter: Is a requiem for the dead!

(Cinematic ends)

(Reach 75% of health)

Lady de Winter: I see...

Lady de Winter: Your singing only has power thanks to Joran's legacy!

Lady de Winter: So, you will fall!

(Reach 50% of health)

Lady de Winter: Hailed as a genius, but you're nothing more than a cheap imitation of Joran.

Lady de Winter: Have you ever felt the endless darkness behind the stage?

Lady de Winter: Every note in your song is a final rest in Joran's life!

Lady de Winter: I won't let you continue to desecrate his dreams on this stage.

Lady de Winter: What Joran lost, you too will savor!

(Reach 25% of health)

Lady de Winter: I will make you and everyone else understand...

Lady de Winter: The glory under the spotlight is nothing but a fleeting shadow!

Lady de Winter: It was you who pushed him into that abyss!

Lady de Winter: It was you who deprived him of his last breath!

Lady de Winter: Cut the hypocrisy. You can never understand my pain.

Lady de Winter: I will make all lies and hypocrisy vanish at this funeral!

Video Summary: We've clung to a strange sense of joy, enduring one wave after another.

Story Description: Despite protecting the audience from the Terror Raptor, Starloop falls. Evelyn reveals her true identity to Astra, but Astra doesn't mind. She inspires everyone with her firm belief. As Starloop falls, Astra calls for her friends to face the possible destruction with a beautiful melody, spreading hope and courage in the face of despair.

Whoosh, whoosh whoosh—bang!

Seeing the Terror Raptor about to crash, Lady de Winter suddenly pulled out a pistol and, without hesitation, aimed it at Astra.
At that moment, Evelyn rushed forward and shielded Astra with her body.

Lady de Winter: Hah, still pretending? My plan couldn't have gotten this far without your help!

Evelyn: Hmm...

Astra Yao: Evelyn! Are you okay? Speak to me!

Lady de Winter: Do you really think she's protecting you? Hah, how laughable. Your so-called "bond" is nothing but a facade.

Astra Yao: What do you mean?

Lady de Winter: She's not the loyal partner you think she is. From the very beginning, she's been a spy sent by Fugue to watch you.

Evelyn: No... that's not true...

Lady de Winter: Do you think she truly cares about you? No, you're just a tool she used to complete her mission.

Astra Yao: ...The trust between us is something you could never understand.

Lady de Winter: Naive! Surrounded by endless manipulation and tangled interests, do you really think there can be any genuine trust or real feelings between you?

Lady de Winter: Absolutely sickening. You're all lapdogs serving the interests of capital.

Lady de Winter: While Joran was alive, all of you fed on his soul. Now that he's gone, you're still exploiting his final voice for profit...

Lady de Winter: He belongs to me! Give me back Joran's legacy!

Astra Yao: It's not what you think! Starloop Tower's Harmonic Core is powered by my singing. It has nothing to do with Joran's works.

Astra Yao: I've been searching for this record because Joran's voice holds an incredible power to connect hearts.

Astra Yao: His voice is a bridge, crossing all divisions and suffering.

Astra Yao: In our fractured, disconnected era, this kind of voice can mend the cracks and bring back long-lost resonance.

Astra Yao: You know exactly what I mean! I know you do!

Lady de Winter: ...

Astra Yao: That night I heard Joran's voice live was one of my most cherished moments. His voice carried us into another world — a sacred land of music.

Astra Yao: Before the concert started today, I told you this performance was my tribute to Joran. You said he was someone who lived in the past.

Astra Yao: So now, I'll bring him into the future!

Lady de Winter: Stop dressing it up with fancy words! You have no idea what he went through!

Astra Yao: Perhaps you're right. I never truly understood his inner world. But maybe you didn't either!

Lady de Winter: ...!!

Bangboo (Belle): The Starloop is falling faster than earlier! Even if Astra can get the remaining thrusters to work, they might not generate enough power to keep us afloat!

Bangboo (Belle): Based on the calculations, we... we might crash!

Lady de Winter: Hehehehe... Hahaha—! Do you hear that? If Joran's spirit is out there, he's finally answered my wish!

Lady de Winter: Fall! Fall! Starloop will shatter, and the false dream will plunge into oblivion! Hahahaha—

Lady Tessa de Winter dropped her pistol, her curses dying away as silent tears rolled down her face.
"Joran, I'll wait for you where the starlight dims. Will you... be there?"

The pistol fell from her hand as her eyes glazed over with madness.
Laughing like a maniac, she disappeared into the panicked crowd...

Evelyn: I'm sorry, Astra. I never had the courage to tell you — I'm a spy for Fugue. My codename is "Scheele's Green."

Astra Yao: What! But your hair is clearly golden leaf colored.

Evelyn: You're not bothered? I've been deceiving you from the very start. My entire existence is a lie.

Astra Yao: What lie? That you didn't tell me your real name?

Astra Yao: You are you. The person in front of me is the Eve I trust.

Astra Yao: No matter what your name is, you're still the one who shielded me from all the noise, the one who protected me with kindness and resilience.

Astra Yao: I hear the purest melody in you.

Evelyn: If only I hadn't been too afraid to tell the truth... If I weren't so selfish, maybe none of this would have happened today...

Astra Yao: There's no "if." Everyone makes mistakes, but that doesn't decide our final destiny.

Astra Yao: The past is behind us, the future is still unwritten, and the only thing we can firmly hold onto is the present.

Astra Yao: Even if destruction is inevitable, we must face it in our own way — without regrets! Even if we're walking towards the end, we will greet it with the most beautiful melody.

Evelyn: The most beautiful melody... to greet destruction?

Astra Yao: Yes! With fiery hope, using our final breath to shout and to sing!

Astra Yao: This is New Eridu, the last hope of human civilization. Even in desperate situations, we've survived time and again with inexplicable joy.

Astra Yao: Fate has favored us, after all. This time, we'll surely make it through again.

Astra Yao: Belle, Wise, Eve, will you sing the final song with me?

Evelyn: Improvising like this... it's not really my strong suit.

Astra Yao: Huh?

Evelyn: You know I've never been good at singing.

Evelyn: But fighting for you? I've never hesitated.

Evelyn jumps down. Off the stage, no matter Fugue, Odeum HAE, or the people from the organization, everyone was panicking, sent into chaos from fear.
So long as those three Harmonic Cores are reactivated, then there's still hope...

(Enter combat)

Raging Enforcer: We're stalling! We're going down! We're all gonna die!

Raging Enforcer: It's all because of her! Scheele's Green!

Raging Enforcer: You betrayed the "organization" and led us to a dead end!

Raging Enforcer: Kill her!

Evelyn: My name is Evelyn!

Evelyn: I always thought...

Evelyn: I was destined to wander in the shadows, unable to find a way out.

Evelyn: Like I was merely a pawn in the hands of fate.

Evelyn: And fate sealed off the path ahead of me a long time ago.

Evelyn: Until her radiant starlight pierced through the darkness.

(After defeating the enemies)

Eous: Still plummeting... Insufficient power...

Eous: We need to restart the Harmonic Core!

(Interact with Harmonic Core)

Eous: Harmonic Core 1's power output restored.

(Approach the marked location)

Eous: I—It's shaking again...

(Approach the Harmonic Core)

Evelyn: Perhaps I'm no longer trapped by the secrets and lies of the past.

Evelyn: Perhaps I can make my own choices too?

Evelyn: Not just for myself, but for so much more, for everything we cherish.

Evelyn: Yes, I am already carrying so many burdens.

Evelyn: But the weight I bear isn't an excuse for me to stop.

(After defeating the enemies)

Eous: It's falling slower! There's a Harmonic Core ahead!

(After interacting with Harmonic Core)

Evelyn: This time, no orders, no schemes — only me.

Evelyn: I won't let fear keep me captive any longer.

Evelyn: Perhaps the me of the past wasn't worthy.

Evelyn: But the person I am now doesn't need to run and hide.

Evelyn: You can make the ones who walk in the shadows start to believe again.

(Approach the marked location)

Eous: That was scary...

(After defeating the enemies)

Evelyn: There is magic in the world.

(After interacting with Harmonic Core)

Evelyn: Brilliant, radiant, incredible miracles.
