- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, I guess it's good to leave early. Starloop Tower's downtown, city center, so just the journey there will take quite a bit of time.
- (SiblingSibling): (That's what I was thinking too! I know I'm being impatient, but I'm just so excited! Great that you understand how I feel, Wise.That's what I was thinking too! I know I'm being impatient, but I'm just so excited! Great that you understand how I feel, Wise. /

- ???: Seriously, the inspections are always so strict.
- ???: Whatever, as long as it gets done ASAP.
- ???: Since they agreed to come spend the New Year's with me...
- ???: That must mean... I have a chance, right?
- ???: But it could also be that they just like Astra...
- ???: Ahh, I can't tell at all!
- ???: Should've just bought a ticket for some second-rate idol instead...
- Sound Mixer: Today should be pretty chill.
- Sound Mixer: After all, Astra's voice is pure perfection.
- ???: Since we got the tickets, let's just enjoy the show.
- ???: Hey, it's the New Year, we deserve to treat ourselves right.

- ???: I'm so excited, what could it be?
- Man Proposing: I... I have an important question that I wanna ask you.
- Woman Being Proposed To: Huh? What? Could it be...
- Woman Being Proposed To: Hold on, ask me later! I need to go freshen up first!
- ???: The stage setup looks amazing!
- ???: A bit too gold, but it works for the New Year vibe.
- ???: Good thing I followed your advice and came early.
- ???: After the tour, we'll take a photo and have a drink, then it'll be about time.

- (Talk to Starloop Staff, optional)
- Starloop Staff: Sorry, the elevator's not available at the moment~

- (Talk to Astranauts Leader, optional)
- Astranauts Leader: Is everything ready?
- Astranauts Member: Of course, no worries.
- Astranauts Member: I'll never fail the Astranauts!
- Astranauts Leader: The day of Astra's Starloop debut... has finally arrived!
- Astranauts Member: Huh? Leader, are those tears in your eyes?
- Astranauts Member: After following Astra since her debut... I guess the Leader must be feeling emotional. Aww...
- Astranauts Member: Even you... Ah, now you've got me doing it too...
- Astranauts Leader: Alright, time to pull it together! Let's make sure we're all in sync later!
- Astranauts Member: Got it!
- (Talk to Astranauts Member, optional)
- Astranauts Member: I just saw someone sneaking around here.
- Astranauts Member: Huh? Over by the poster? I didn't see anything.
- Astranauts Member: Guess I must've been imagining things... after all...
- Astranauts Member: Astra's just too stunning!
- (Talk to (Belle/WiseBelle/Wise))
- (SiblingSibling): (Wow! This is it! The legendary Starloop!Wow! This is it! The legendary Starloop! /

Look! Even the glow sticks are designed to match Starloop. Astra is so thoughtful.Look! Even the glow sticks are designed to match Starloop. Astra is so thoughtful.) - Astra-nomical Lightstick
- A custom-made lightstick designed for Astra's New Year concert.
This unique stick combines a microphone with a Harmonic Core. When activated, the Harmonic Core causes the red section of the stick to rotate slowly, making it feel more like a magical wand than an ordinary lightstick.
- (SiblingSibling): (Spending the New Year with my brother and Astra. Is this real?! I'm not dreaming, am I?Spending the New Year with my brother and Astra. Is this real?! I'm not dreaming, am I? /
I'm so happy I can spend the New Year with Belle and Astra.I'm so happy I can spend the New Year with Belle and Astra.) - Your jaw is on the floor.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Your jaw is about to reach the floor. You look so funny, I have to take a photo to record this.Your jaw is about to reach the floor. You look so funny, I have to take a photo to record this. /
Your jaw's practically on the floor. Haha, Wise, you look so funny, I gotta take a picture!Your jaw's practically on the floor. Haha, Wise, you look so funny, I gotta take a picture!) - (SiblingSibling): Sure, let's take one then. Although I've already set Eous to real-time recording mode.
- (SiblingSibling): Everything that happens today, every minute and second, (I'll make sure to record it all!I'll make sure to record it all! /
I'll make sure to record it all.I'll make sure to record it all.) - Eous: Ehn-ne-ehn-na! (Spending the New Year with Belle and Wise! Must record it all!)
- Eous: Ehn-ne-ehn-ehn, nu-na-ehn! (Eous wants to be in the shot too, can we ask someone for help?)
Ask the audience member to help take a photo
- (Idle)
- (SiblingSibling): (Make sure to include Eous in the picture too, a New Year's family photo!Make sure to include Eous in the picture too, a New Year's family photo! /

BelleBelle) didn't catch my goofy face just now!
- (Talk to Passerby Girl)
- Waiting Audience Member: Astra Yao, what a queen she is! I wonder if she'll get annoyed if I ask her to sign my album later.
- Passerby Girl: That's a common misconception! The company just uses "The Queen" as a way to package her and establish an interesting character for her~
- Passerby Girl: Of course, it's also related to her professionalism on the stage.
- Astra is a super-cute in real life!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Yeah, she really is cute.Yeah, she really is cute. /
Yeah, she really is super cute!Yeah, she really is super cute!) She's super friendly and down to earth. - Passerby Girl: Yup! That's exactly it!
- "Too bad, I actually like the prideful and aloof kind more."
Seeing the other person walk away, the girl seems a little down... How about asking her to help take a picture? - Passerby Girl: *sigh* ...But I think Astra is super cute like that already! But it's nice to have at least one person who agrees with me!
- Would you mind taking a group photo for us?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Excuse me, could you please help us take a photo? We'd like a group picture.
- Passerby Girl: You must be an Astranaut, too! I know it 'cause you arrived early, just like me.
- Passerby Girl: You got it! Leave it to me!
- (Talk to Passerby Girl after exiting the camera without taking a picture, optional)
- Alright, it's time to take a photo!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, (we can take the photo now!we can take the photo now! /
please take the picture!please take the picture!) - Passerby Girl: Three, two, one, cheeeeese!
- (After taking a picture)
- (SiblingSibling): (Wow, you made Eous look so cute in the photo! Even I look great!Wow, you made Eous look so cute in the photo! Even I look great! /
Your photography skills are amazing! You made Eous look so cute, and Belle looks great too.Your photography skills are amazing!

Other people can take cute photos of me! How come you can't! /
Much better than the photos I take, looks like we found the right person.Much better than the photos I take, looks like we found the right person.) - Passerby Girl: Hehe~ Of course, I've collected quite a few of Astra's photos! I'm real good at photographing people!
Unexpected Surprise

"Unexpected Surprise"Video Summary: When the duties of a bodyguard clash with those of a manager...
Story Description: On the day of the concert, Evelyn welcomes the two of you at Starloop Tower's lobby and uncovers your true identity as Phaethon. Astra bursts in, being chased by the enraged music director for failing to complete her final song...
- Just as you're looking through the photos you'd taken, Astra Yao's manager Evelyn strides over to you two...
- Evelyn: You must be Belle and Wise. Astra's told me so much about you. My apologies for missing the chance to thank you both in person last time.
- Evelyn: Welcome to Starloop Tower, my esteemed guests... or should I say, Phaethon.
- Why, you... How did you know?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh?... Wait, how did you...? Only, like, one, two, three... it doesn't matter! (Not many people should knowNot many people should know /
There shouldn't be that many people whoThere shouldn't be that many people who) who we are in the first place!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh?... Wait, how did you...? Only, like, one, two, three... it doesn't matter! (Not many people should knowNot many people should know /
- Huh? Pha-what now?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh? Pha-what now? I don't really follow what you're saying.
- Evelyn: You've been pretty careful, although in my opinion, there's room to be even more cautious.
- Evelyn: Please rest assured, my intel does not come from anyone who knows your true identity.
- (SiblingSibling): Then... how did you...?
- Evelyn: Just simple logic. Syncing with a Bangboo isn't technologically difficult, but maintaining connection once you're inside a Hollow...
- Evelyn: The only one capable of that level of in-Hollow communication is the legendary Proxy, Phaethon.
- Evelyn: Of course, the reason I could draw that conclusion was because Astra knew you were inside that Bangboo. As long as you're skilled enough at impersonating a Bangboo, you don't have anything to worry about.
- Skilled at impersonating a Bangboo, eh...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hmm... guess I'll have to get more tips from Eous on how to be a cute Bangboo...
- (SiblingSibling): (You're already too good at being a cute Bangboo, Wise... If you get any better, it might start to get on people's nerves...You're already too good at being a cute Bangboo, Wise... If you get any better, it might start to get on people's nerves... /
Honestly, Belle, you're already a pro at being a cute Bangboo. If you get any better, it might be a bit too much...Honestly, Belle, you're already a pro at being a cute Bangboo. If you get any better, it might be a bit too much...) - (SiblingSibling): From an outside perspective, I often think, "Sheesh, (this guythis guy /
sheshe) really has no shame moving like that in Eous's body"... - Eous: Ehn-nah ehn-nah. (I strongly agree.)
- Evelyn: Anyway, Astra is very lucky to have your help. I hope we can continue working together. Given her position, she needs all kinds of talented individuals to--
- Hobson: Talented individuals? And these two are...
- Evelyn: Mr. Hobson, what brings you here in person?
- Evelyn: These two are Miss Yao's esteemed guests, Belle and Wise. Allow me to introduce the Chief Governance Officer of Odeum Entertainment Group, Mr. Hobson.
- Hobson: Guests of Miss Yao? You both seem so young and promising. May I ask which business you're associated with?
- ...I guess our video store on Sixth Street counts as business...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We run a video store on Sixth Street...
- We're just freelancers...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We're just freelancers. We run a small business, that's all...
- Hobson: I see. Well, Evelyn, since Miss Yao's esteemed guests are here, why don't you go attend to them?
- Evelyn: But what about the security...?
- Hobson: I'll handle it.
- Evelyn: ...Understood. Alright, dear guests, please follow me.
- Evelyn guides you through Starloop Tower, giving you a bird's-eye view of the entire skyline—it's stunning.
But, you feel a pair of piercing eyes fixed on you the whole time... - (SiblingSibling): That gentleman over there keeps staring at us, it's a bit unnerving...
- Evelyn: Well, today's performance is unlike any before, with far too many variables to track. Hobson, ah, I mean, Mr. Hobson, is naturally a very meticulous person.
- (SiblingSibling): So, what's so special about today's performance?
- Evelyn: That's a secret. Just sit tight and wait for Astra's "big surprise."
- (SiblingSibling): (Uh oh,Uh oh,) he's glaring at us again. So intense... It must be tough working under someone like him.
- Evelyn: Not at all. In fact, I don't work for him. I serve Miss Yao.
- (SiblingSibling): He even asked where we worked. When I told him it was just a small business, (his face immediately froze. So intimidating...his face immediately froze. So intimidating... /
his expression went completely cold. Honestly, it was pretty intimidating.his expression went completely cold. Honestly, it was pretty intimidating.) - Evelyn: If you had told him you were Phaethon, you might've gotten a big smile out of him.
- Evelyn: For someone at his level, quickly judging others based on their usefulness is second nature. Anyone deemed "useless" won't get a sliver of his attention. It's practically a survival skill for someone in his position.
- Astra isn't like that.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Astra isn't like that. If we're talking about level, then she's technically above him.
- Evelyn: That's right. Despite her position, she never looks down on anyone. With all that talent, she never sees herself as special. That's why she's so precious.
- Evelyn: To be honest, before meeting her, I didn't think someone like her actually existed.
- Evelyn: At first, I kept waiting for her to "show her true colors."
- ...I know exactly what you mean!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (...I know exactly what you mean....I know exactly what you mean. /
I know exactly what you mean!I know exactly what you mean!) Who'd have thought the brightest star in New Eridu wasn't putting on a facade and was genuinely such a pure person. - (SiblingSibling): Is it just me, or is anyone else worried that Astra might get hurt by being her genuine self?
- Evelyn: I won't let that happen.
- Evelyn turns her face slightly. It's like she isn't saying this to anyone else, but softly reassuring herself.
- Speaking of surprises.
"Eve!" A familiar voice comes rushing in our direction. - Astra Yao: Eve, help! Belle, Wise, you're here too!
- Evelyn: What happened?!
- Astra Yao: I just got scolded by the music director. He was furious! It was terrifying!
- Evelyn: ...I'm sure it's not the director's fault. How's your final song coming along? You've blown through 20 deadlines we set for you, and today is the absolute final submission day.
- Astra Yao: Huh? Well, I can't just put out something ordinary for everyone, right? Once inspiration hits, it'll be fine!
- Evelyn: So, until inspiration hits, you need me to take on the director?
- Astra Yao: Eve, you promised to protect me from any danger, right? Now's the time to save me from this "berserk deadline-chasing director"!
- Evelyn: Heheh. Sorry, but that monster's outside my jurisdiction.
- Astra Yao: How could you!!
- You guys are so close.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): You two are so close. (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) and I always squabble like that, too. - (SiblingSibling): But I have to admit, we do have our fair share of actual complaints, too.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): You two are so close. (BelleBelle /
- This kind of back-and-forth feels oddly familiar, doesn't it, (BelleBelle /
WiseWise)? - (ProtagonistProtagonist): This kind of back-and-forth feels oddly familiar, doesn't it, (BelleBelle /
WiseWise)? - (SiblingSibling): Totally! Conversations like that happen every day between an unreliable (brotherbrother /
sistersister) and (hishis / herher) sharp, capable (sistersister / brotherbrother).
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): This kind of back-and-forth feels oddly familiar, doesn't it, (BelleBelle /
- Suddenly, a deep, booming shout interrupts their conversation.
"Evelyn! Stop covering for her! She doesn't have anything ready! Not a single piece! What are we supposed to do for the final song? Improvise? Huh?!" - Faced the enraged director's outburst, Astra grabs Belle and Wise by the hands and runs without hesitation.
Evelyn follows closely behind, letting out a wry smile. Work always comes with unexpected crises beyond one's job description...
He... Is Irreplaceable
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"He... Is Irreplaceable"Video Summary: An artist's perspective always carries a distinctive touch.
Story Description: The group hides in a VIP lounge to avoid the music director. However, they unexpectedly meet Lady de Winter, the widow of Joran. Lady de Winter states that no one can replace Joran, but Astra insists on paying tribute to him with a performance. In the end, Lady de Winter gives her blessing.
- After a close game of Hide & Seek, the enraged supervisor loses track of their target... Evelyn leads everyone to hide in shadows as she watches the supervisor leave.

- After wishing Astra a successful performance, Lady de Winter leaves.
- Evelyn: (This VIP room offers the best view and is usually reserved for special guests. To prevent company staff from interfering, I booked it under Astra's name.)
- Evelyn: (Was it really just a coincidence that Lady de Winter was here just now? Could their other insider in the company really be...)
- Evelyn: (Hmm... The best way to dispel suspicion is to uncover the truth.)
Tell Miss Yao you're leaving first
- (Idle)
- Astra Yao & Belle: That was Mrs. Joran de Winter!
- Wise: Why do you suddenly sound like a fangirl, Astra?
- Astra Yao: Because that was Mrs. Joran de Winter!
- Belle: Wow, awesome!
- Astra Yao: Excited? Wanna shout with me?
- Belle: Hell yeah~
- Astra Yao: 3, 2, 1!
- Astra Yao & Belle: Woohoo—!
- Wise: ...
- (Talk to Astra Yao)
- Astra Yao: Eve? Where are you going? The performance is about to start.
- Astra Yao: Is it just my imagination? Or does something seem to be weighing on your mind?
- Evelyn: Hm... I've just been with our two guests all this time, and there's still a lot of work to go over again.
- Astra Yao: Wow, Eve is so serious... Actually, there won't be any issues even if you don't go over it again. How about you leave that and come backstage with me instead?
- Evelyn: ...
- Astra Yao: Hehe, just kidding. The only reason I can focus on my creative career is because you've been helping me with all those troublesome tasks. So, let's go with your plan.
- Evelyn: ...Miss Yao.
- Astra Yao: Hmm? You go ahead with your work, I'll play with Belle and the others for a bit and then head backstage. The director may not have calmed down yet, so we better not go too early...
- Evelyn: Alright, see you tonight.
- Astra Yao: Okay!
- Evelyn heads off in the direction Lady de Winter went.
Investigate suspicious items
- Evelyn: She's so fast... I thought I could catch up with her even though I was delayed.
- Evelyn: Huh? There wasn't a food cart here when we came up earlier, was there?
- (Interact with Food Cart)
- Evelyn: Could it be a lead left by Fugue? Hmm, as expected.
- Evelyn: I already conducted a thorough inspection of all the VIP guest items for the concert beforehand.
- Evelyn: This note must have been slipped in not long ago.
- Evelyn: "Radiant and dazzling, though not pure gold, it illuminates the world."
- Evelyn: It's a code, and the answer seems to be related to a golden object? But the entire Starloop is resplendent with gold...
- Evelyn: Seems there's quite a few places that need to be checked...
Investigate the Gold Record statue
- (Approach the marked location)
- Evelyn: It's a Gold Record sculpture, a famous music award.
- (Interact with "Gold Record" Sculpture)
- Evelyn carefully examines the "Gold Record" sculpture—
- Evelyn: There are a total of eight discs, and they don't seem to be anything special...
- Evelyn: But this sculpture almost perfectly fits the riddle... Wait, could it be—
- Evelyn: Is the answer the number "8"? The lady Astra's concert also starts at 8:00 PM, this can't be a coincidence.
- Evelyn: I'm almost certain the first clue is the number "8."
Investigate the golden potted plant and Miss Yao's poster
- Evelyn: There's nothing else nearby that matches, just ordinary decorations.
- Evelyn: Better check downstairs.
- (Interact with Camera Control Panel, optional)
- After entering the administrator's password and connecting to the camera's control panel—
- Evelyn: The cameras are all fine. No suspicious individuals spotted.
- Evelyn: Speaking of suspicious individuals, I probably seem like the most suspicious one right now...
- Evelyn: Hobson must have deliberately sent me away when Belle and Wise were around. He's probably already wary of me.
- Evelyn: As expected of an old fox from Odeum. He's no easy opponent.
- Evelyn: But despite his suspicions, he has yet to revoke my admin privileges. That means that's all he's got.
- Evelyn: There's no way I can fully entrust Miss Yao's safety to the company.
- (Interact with Passage Door, optional)
- You push hard on the passage door and find that it is locked.
- Evelyn: Hmm, good. It can only be opened through a remote control from the main control room.
- Evelyn: This should give Fugue's people a hard time if they try anything.
- Evelyn: I need to double-check the security facilities in other areas.
- (Interact with Golden Grille, optional)
- Evelyn: The grille is also gold, but this one's actually gold-plated.
- Evelyn: The code clearly says it's an object that shines like gold but isn't gold.
- Evelyn: So this grille probably doesn't have any clues.
- 'Just to be sure, Evelyn carefully inspects it again. It really is just a regular decorative item.
- Evelyn: Hmm, let's go search other places and see what we find.
- (Approach Golden Potted Plant)
- Evelyn: Hmm? Why are the leaves of this plant tied in a knot?
- (Interact with Golden Potted Plant)
- Evelyn: The leaves of the potted plant have been tampered with. Looks like I was right. This is the secret message they left for me.
- Evelyn unraveled the tangled plant leaves, revealing the word "landing" carved into them.
- Evelyn: "Landing"?! Could it be that Fugue's planned operation... is to sabotage today's New Year's concert?
- Evelyn: When you contacted me before, you were always vague... Was that just to delay letting me know until now?
- Evelyn: This is bad. Although Odeum has made extra preparations to guard against Fugue...
- Evelyn: Hobson and the others... Urgh... I'll check everything again before notifying Hobson.
- Evelyn: Let's see if there are any other clues.
- (After investigating either Golden Potted Plant or Astra Yao's Poster)
- Evelyn: I should investigate further.
- (Interact with Astra Yao's Poster)
- Evelyn: Miss Yao's poster.
- Evelyn: "Radiant and dazzling, though not pure gold, it illuminates the world."
- Evelyn: Miss Yao may not be made of gold, but she shines just like it.
- Evelyn: But I've been keeping things from her... What does that make me?
- Evelyn: I had an opportunity in the private room just now, and I let it slip through my fingers again...
- Evelyn: ...
- Evelyn: Hmm, this poster must be hiding a clue.
- As expected, the word "upstairs" is vaguely visible on the dark part of the poster.
- Evelyn: Upstairs? Could it be... referring to the atrium?
Double Agent
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Double Agent"Video Summary: It's time to uncover the truth that can no longer be hidden...
Story Description: Evelyn suspects that Lady de Winter might be the mole and goes to investigate. That's when she receives news of Fugue's attack. To stop Fugue's attack, she decided to work as a double agent and lure Mr. Hobson to the landing site of Fugue's attack and set up a trap.
- Evelyn: The clue from the coded message points to 8:00 PM, atrium landing.
- Evelyn: Wow, such trust. They won't reveal the meeting details to a "traitor" like me until the last moment.
- Evelyn: It seems Fugue never fully trusted me from the start. No surprise they'd plant another mole in Odeum.
- Evelyn: I'd do the same thing if I were in their shoes. With a double infiltration setup, if one gets exposed, the other one is ready to step in as a backup.
- Evelyn: Whoever made these arrangements is certainly a capable individual.
- Evelyn: I'll just notify Hobson about the Fugue attack. His people should be enough to handle it.
- Evelyn: There's still time. If I set up everything before Fugue arrives, I can block them off.
- Evelyn: I need to confirm the identity of "the other mole" as soon as possible.
- At that moment, the communicator buzzed.
- Evelyn: Mr. Hobson...
- Hobson: There's a security breach. It must be addressed immediately.[Note 1] Where are you?
- Evelyn: I need to speak with you as well. I've uncovered quite a few Fugue-related leads.
- Hobson: Oh? Related to Fugue, you say? That's unexpected. Where are you right now?
- Evelyn: It's a little hard to describe, so...
- Evelyn: (If my guess is correct, Hobson probably wants to take me out. I might as well use this opportunity to draw him and his men to the atrium. That way, we can block Fugue's attack.)
- Evelyn: Why don't we meet in the atrium?
- Hobson: The atrium? Alright, I'll wait for you there.
- After ending the call, Evelyn exhales deeply.
- Evelyn: Finally... I can't hide it any longer. It's time to reveal the truth.
- Evelyn: Now that I've got Fugue's intel, I'll deal with the issue at hand first.
- Evelyn: As for who "the other mole" is... I'll have to play it by ear.
- The beginning of the concert creeps quietly closer...
Evelyn takes a deep breath and heads toward the atrium... - We can't go too hard on Hobson and his crew. We still need them to hold off Fugue.
When they start fighting, we'll have time to figure out what the mole is plotting.
Go to the second floor of the atrium and meet with Hobson
Scheele's Green
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Scheele's Green"Video Summary: A celebrated elite of the spy organization.
Story Description: Hobson, the Chief Governance Officer of Odeum HAE, accuses Evelyn of being a spy for Fugue, codenamed Scheele's Green. However, Evelyn states that she is not loyal to Fugue, but to Astra. Hobson doesn't believe her and orders his men to capture her. A conflict is about to erupt.
- Hobson: Evelyn A. Chevalier, former producer of Ridu Lucky Star, then assistant director at Parcae Factory Films for three years, joined our company two years ago on Monica's recommendation...
- Hobson: Very impressive credentials. Too bad it's not the real you, is it, Scheele's Green?
- Evelyn: ...
- Hobson: An elite spy from The Organization, infiltrating the inner circle of our company's most valuable asset — how unsettling.
- Hobson: Fugue's spy needs to be removed immediately, wouldn't you agree?
- Evelyn: Is this order from Miss Yao?
- Hobson: Ha. You don't actually think that woman has "free will," do you?
- Hobson: Like I said earlier, she's nothing more than a valuable asset of our company. There's no place for her input in the company's decisions.
- Evelyn: ... I'm the one who has no place here.
- Hobson: Oh?
- Evelyn: (I know she'd never issue such an order. But still... I can't help but doubt. I can't help but be suspicious. I just had to ask...)
- Evelyn: Even under the sunlight, what crawls out of the darkness is still just a shadow...
- Evelyn: You're not wrong. I am, in fact, the spy planted by Fugue.
- Hobson: Hmph, I thought you'd deny it. Good, that saves me a lot of trouble.
- Evelyn: But, I'm not your enemy.
- Evelyn: Fugue simply hired the organization I work for. My relationship with them never involved any "loyalty."
- Evelyn: Listen, I'm not the only spy Fugue has planted within Odeum.
- Hobson: Wh—What?
- Evelyn: You must know that the grudge between these two conglomerates runs deep. Do you really think Fugue would gamble everything against Odeum on me alone?
- Evelyn: I only learned about their plan of action moments ago, and this is nowhere near the full scope of their strategy. What we should be doing now is g—
- Hobson: "We"? I'm not interested in figuring out whether you've actually switched sides or if you're just faking it. As for your intel, how can anyone know if it's legit or a trap?
- Evelyn: But Miss Yao's safety...
- Hobson: That's none of your concern. Odeum will protect its assets. We don't need outsiders to get involved.
- Hobson: I'll look into the "intel" you mentioned. In any case, thank you for your service these last two years.
- Hobson: Now!
- Evelyn: Tch! If it's not an order from Miss Yao herself, I'm afraid I can't comply!
- (If combat is exited or if defeated, approach the top floor of the atrium)
- Evelyn: I'm a little nervous... But this should work.
- Evelyn: We can't go too hard on Hobson and his crew. We still need them to hold off Fugue.
- Evelyn: When they start fighting, we'll have time to figure out what the mole is plotting.
- Before you know it, the concert is already in full swing...
Evelyn takes a deep breath and walks towards the atrium...
