1 There was a time when the currents swept us into the jaws of uncharted waters, where relentless storms and voracious waves awaited. But after weathering such trials, they revealed to us a hidden gem—the Shores themselves.
1 You're talking about the Black Shores.
2 My family has always been drawn to the thrill of a new voyage. One stormy night, fate decided to play a hand. What we discovered there on that island, the technology and novel ideas, was nothing short of a blessing in disguise.
2 You sent the troupe to pick me up? (Jump:3)
2 You sent that invitation? (Jump:4)
2 But what's in it for your family? I assume you seek more than just a "free market"? (Jump:6)
3 There exists only one relatively safe route from the Black Shores to Ragunna—a path known solely to the Montelli family. As long as you stayed on this course, you were bound to encounter the troupe.
3 (Jump:2)
4 Exactly. When we heard the Black Shores were hunting for a legitimate entry into Ragunna, I thought, why not bring them into our little venture? Hence, the invitation.
4 (Jump:2)
6 Our intentions might not be as grandiose or ominous as you think. We seek liberation, and to achieve it, we're pursuing the truth behind Rinascita's origins.
6 (Jump:7)
7 Legend has it that when people first arrived on this island, Genesis Nexus(The first beacon in Rinascita) was already here, welcoming them.
8 The prevailing belief is that the Sentinel gifted us this technology, and despite nobody ever seeing the Sentinel in person, we talk with Them through supposed "telepathy." Notice anything strange about that story?
8 The first beacon…
8 The Sentinel…
9 Terminals conjure up Echoes, and the Genesis Nexus allows the Ragunnesi access to Common Echoes.
10 If the Genesis Nexus was present when the first settlers arrived, who built it?
11 And really, if no one's ever laid eyes on the Sentinel, how can we be so sure that statue really represents Them?
12 It seems to me the Order might have spun us a tale, hiding the true origins behind their grand myths.
12 Does the Montelli family seek to rule?
12 Are the Montellis turning away from Rinascita's beliefs?
13 No, we have no ambitions to rule or to renounce our faith. And really, this city should not be ruled by any one entity.
14 The hour grows late. I have arranged accommodations for you at Palazzo Agrotta in the south. Let us walk there together, and I can share a story along the way.
15 Think of it as a bedtime tale. I learned it from the troupe. It is about Fleurdelys, the Blessed Maiden.

1 Please, follow me.
2 Where are we going?
3 Ah, please allow me to keep that a secret for now—I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. But here's a hint: you've been there before.

1 Ragunna, the tempest's jewel, the sapphire that crowns Solaris...
2 The waters of Ragunna serve as a mirror, reflecting the countless faces of this city—much like our own reflections.
3 The people of Ragunna possess a temperament akin to the tides, ever-changing. We like to describe ourselves as drifters of currents.
4 For, to us, drifting is not a negative attribute. It speaks to opportunity, to potential. I find it quite charming, much like your name—Rover—seems to promise.
5 Our founders went with the flow and discovered these islands. Centuries later, the Montellis too drifted with currents, acquiring new technologies from distant lands.

1 I believe the same.
1 The divine is always beyond our comprehension.
1 Perhaps, the true intention of the Sentinel isn't to rule their people by faith.
2 The people of this island came from diverse civilizations now lost to time, but through plays and tradition, they sought to preserve memories of their heritage.
3 In the past, while the clash of cultures led to conflict, the Ragunnesi united through faith, restoring balance, even if precarious.
4 To maintain this unity, we have always needed both a Sentinel and a "play" based on a shared legend that gives us roles.
5 Yet, this play has endured for so long that we have become defined by our roles—noble, commoner, believer, merchant. What was meant to unite us now stifles us.
5 Integration was the past.
5 Liberation is the present.
6 Now, we yearn for a day when we can truly set aside our identities and positions, express our true selves, and join together in celebration...
6 So, this is the true purpose of the Carnevale.
7 Yes, born from hope and idealism, it reminds the Ragunnesi of our initial vision of equality and freedom. It also affirms our true worth.
8 While the Order's true intentions remain unclear, we are certain their influence has already eroded the very foundations of our society.
9 People revere the divine figure the Order has constructed, yet they also live in fear of punishment.
10 Legends become accomplices in fostering ignorance, and faith becomes the loyal executioner of cruel punishment. An invisible cage has trapped us all...
11 Speaking of freedom within a cage is absurd. Fear and ignorance are our foremost enemies.
12 This year's Carnevale will spark a flame fierce enough to burn down that cage.
12 Freedom is in our nature.
12 Our future is in our own hands.
12 I'll stoke the flames even higher.
13 Rest well, and tomorrow, we shall take the stage together at the Carnevale.
14 Good night. May your dreams be sweet.

1 After all you've been through, your body aches for rest. As you sink into the soft bed, you let your thoughts settle and drift into a peaceful sleep, preparing yourself for the excitement and challenges of the upcoming Carnevale.

1 Once, the Blessed Maiden was just a simple peasant girl. During the Sentinel's Gratitude Rite, the young Fleurdelys managed to sneak past the guards and drink the sacramental wine—every drop.
2 Perhaps it was the intoxicating wine in Egla Town or simply her lack of experience with spirits, but she soon found herself quite drunk.
3 Swaying on her feet, she ascended the ceremony's grand platform, lifted her threadbare dress, and began a rather ungainly dance.
4 Seizing the sacred horn, she played a carefree folk tune, dodging the guards and weaving through the crowd with surprising agility.
5 Remarkably, the crowd, as if drawn by an unseen force, followed her lead, transforming the solemn ceremony into a wild parade of cheers and revelry.
6 Naturally, the Order was less than pleased. The Pilgrim's Sail did not yet exist, so Fleurdelys faced three days of confinement. During that time, she used her prison walls as a canvas.
7 That unforgettable day of disordered revelry left a lasting mark on all who witnessed it.
8 Is it not remarkable? A rebellious girl, chosen by the Sentinel to become the Blessed Maiden.
9 If the Sentinel indeed permitted such a girl to serve as Their spokesperson, it suggests that all this joyous revelry is not something They disdain.
10 Perhaps They too enjoy poetry, painting, tears, laughter, romantic tales of knights, and dancing amidst crowds—much like ourselves.

1 Were you awake, {PlayerName}? I trust you had a restful sleep?
2 We have uncovered some new information about the Sentinel. Please join us at the family's safe house.
3 I have sent the address to your Terminal. Brant and Roccia are also here. We are awaiting your arrival.

1 Raise your glasses! Shout it loud, friends!
2 To us, to the Carnevale, and to our very own Laureate, {PlayerName}!
3 A name that echoes through the world, destined to roam the skies before shaking the earth!
3 Hear, hear! That's me!
3 Please, stop. You're making me feel embarrassed…
36 Hahaha! There you are, my friend! A compliment, if too subtle, loses all its charm!
5 Don't be fooled by how he looks. Brant is already deep in his cups, drunk as a skunk.
6 Oh, let him enjoy himself. The taste of victory is still fresh, and after such a battle, we should celebrate to the fullest!
7 Drink your fill, everyone! This round's on me!
8 HOORAY!!!
9 Hmm, I see… Someone's been eavesdropping.
9 Looks like we've attracted some unwanted attention.
9 Aren't we in your family's safe house?
10 A devout Acolyte wouldn't enter such a place without a good reason.
11 The Montelli family is known for its hospitality, but freeloaders... will not find us so welcoming.
12 Friends, let's keep the mood lively!
13 Come, let's discuss the information we've gathered so far.
14 During the Carnevale, you heard the Sentinel's voice and found a girl named Cartethyia. We've dug up some information on her.
15 In the Order, every high-ranking Acolyte is given a new name.
16 We contacted the Acolyte, Phoebe. After some digging in the Order's records, she confirmed that before taking on her holy title, the Blessed Fleurdelys was called... Cartethyia.
16 So, she is the Sentinel's Resonator.
17 But the Blessed Maiden... she martyred herself twenty years ago...
17 There must be more to it than that...
17 I just saw a ghost?!
17 Did someone pretend to be her?
17 Did the Blessed Maiden suddenly come back from the dead?
18 The family will uncover the truth. The only remaining clue is the "inverted tower" you mentioned hearing about from the Sentinel, but even that feels elusive...
19 Judging by your expression, you must have discovered something new, right?
20 Do you recall what we learned from the stained glass in the Tower Ruins? There were two divinities at the dawn of Rinascita.
21 If one refers to the Sentinel, then the other, who could stand alongside Them, might be the Threnodian.
22 The two are undoubtedly linked, so uncovering one could lead us to the other.
23 Remember Gilberto, from the Fisalia family? It took a lot to get him to talk, but we finally got some information from him.
24 As he tells it, the Fisalia family's long-revered deity is none other than... Leviathan, the Threnodian from the sea's depths.
24 They worship the Threnodian…
25 It's hard to believe, I know. But recent events have only reinforced what we discovered from the stained glass.
26 The Fisalia family has been on this island since the founding of Rinascita, so their worship of the Threnodian may have persisted for centuries.
27 We will attempt to establish contact with the Fisalias to build an alliance and gather more intelligence.
27 Do you think they'll be willing?
28 Rest assured, negotiation is what we do best. If necessary, we'll present them with an offer they can't refuse.
29 Excuse me for the interruption. Greetings, esteemed guest.
30 The Primus wishes to invite you for a conversation at the Cathedral of Mercury. Would you be so inclined?
31 How curious. Since when has the Primus become so interested in social calls?
32 It could very well be a trap.
33 I'm merely conveying the Primus' invitation. The choice is yours.
33 Don't worry, he wouldn't dare do anything to me.
33 Perfect timing. I have many questions for him.
34 Remember, you're not alone. If anything happens, just let us know.
35 Very well, please follow me to the Cathedral of Mercury.

1 Ah, {PlayerName} and Lady Phoebe! I've been capturing the Carnevale's many beautiful moments! What brings you all together here?
2 Hmm? You took this picture? Look at that composition and lighting! Who knew you had a knack for photography!
3 Buddy, you look so happy! Whatever the reason, thanks for making this moment special!
4 *Humph!*
5 It's all thanks to {PlayerName}. She fulfilled C-MOSS's wish.
6 Just like us, C-MOSS wants to savor every moment of the Carnevale and leave with no regrets.
6 You seem excited about the Carnevale too.
6 Why not join us in the celebration?
7 The Sentinel cherishes Their people, and as followers, we find joy in witnessing everyone's happiness.
8 But we have our duties, ensuring order during the Carnevale. I'm sorry I can't join in the festivities.
9 I wish you a wonderful time at the Carnevale!

1 Ah, you're here.
1 It's quite lively. (Jump:2)
1 Anything unusual? (Jump:3)
2 For the Ragunnesi, the Carnevale has always been an occasion to revel with abandon. It's what they truly desire.
2 (Jump:5)
3 All seems well for the moment.
3 (Jump:5)
5 The family is prepared. They'll support our plan should the need arise.
6 We must remain vigilant. The Fractsidus may be lurking, observing our every move.
7 It's nearly time. The troupe should be arriving at the harbor shortly.
8 How do you feel? Ready to step into the spotlight?
8 I couldn't be more ready. (Jump:9)
8 I'm still a bit nervous. (Jump:10)
8 I'm tired of all the formalities. (Jump:11)
8 I have something else to attend to. (Jump:12)
9 Excellent. We have the skills. Now it's all about improvisation.
9 (End)
10 It's only natural. It's your first show. If it helps, I'm a bit nervous myself. Let's consider it a rehearsal, shall we? There are grander stages yet to come.
10 (End)
11 Then let's cast aside all inhibitions and dance to the rhythm of this grand celebration!
11 (End)
12 I'll be waiting here for you.
12 (End)

1 (That woman… she's with the Fractsidus.)
2 (I need to follow her and find out what she's planning.)

1 Hehe, right this way.

1 (I've lost her again. Where is she trying to lead me?)

1 Ah, we've arrived. Such a small world, isn't it, {PlayerName}?
1 I remember you. (Jump:2)
1 Why did you run? (Jump:3)
1 What is the Fractsidus doing here? (Jump:4)
2 Oh, what an honor to be remembered! Let's continue our conversation somewhere lively and grand, a place worthy of the Carnevale, not some dreary, dull corner.
2 (Jump:5)
3 They say the thrill of the chase surpasses the joy of the catch. And with this view of Ragunna, one can truly savor its splendor.
3 (Jump:5)
4 Oh, don't fret. I've been invited to this grand feast as a conductor.
4 (Jump:5)
5 Decadence, indulgence… Hehe, that's the Carnevale—a vivid daydream and grand illusion for all.
5 Tell me what you really came to say.
5 Whatever you're plotting, I won't let it happen.
5 Just so you know, your predecessor's gibberish landed him in prison.
6 No need to worry, I won't disrupt their little daydream. Besides, we still have business to do here.
7 Now that you know what makes the Sentinel so unique, you should know we seek the same thing. That extraordinary Resonator.
8 How about I share a little story with you? A gesture of goodwill for our cooperation.
8 Go ahead, tell me. (Jump:9)
8 Not interested. (Jump:10)
9 Now, now. Patience is a virtue. A story is best enjoyed with a captivating performance, and this stage is perfectly set for it.
9 (Jump:11)
10 It's fine. I do appreciate the noble lady's sentiment—a wise investment often bears fruit in the most unexpected ways.
10 (Jump:11)
11 We're simply spreading the truth through a tale. I'm certain it will pique your interest, so consider this a heartfelt invitation to you and your companions.
12 Join us, pour your essence into this endless play, and use your humble strength to defy the raging current of fate!

1 As anticipated, the Fractsidus is on the move.
2 Now, remember the rehearsal we did yesterday? All our preparations have led to this very moment.
3 She intends to use those Lycorises to summon and control the Tacet Discords. If we destroy the Lycorises, we can neutralize them.
4 Everyone is in position. We'll manage the west plaza.
5 Phoebe is stationed at the east plaza, keeping an eye on things.
6 The main stage is all yours for the grand performance.
6 To ensure the performance runs smoothly...
6 ...we'll need a host.
7 I'll take care of the lighting and create the mood to make the performance stand out.
8 Leave that to me.
9 Ready? The spotlight will be on you two.
9 Let's go, partner.
9 We're already part of the play.
9 As actors, we can't afford to have cold feet.
10 The curtain has been lifted. We can't keep our audience waiting.
11 Then...
12 Ladies and gentlemen! The grandest and most spectacular performance of the Carnevale is about to commence!
13 Let us give a warm round of applause as our actors now take the stage!

1 An unending darkness cloaks the kingdom as monstrous beasts ravage the land.
2 The Holy Maiden has been captured by the Demon King, and chaos descends...
3 But lo! Two valiant heroes step forth, accepting the minister's quest, vowing to vanquish the beasts and rescue the Holy Maiden!

1 The heroes breach the first barrier, sweeping away the monsters within the city!
2 Now, they advance towards the Demon King's castle, where perils await at every corner... What trials lie ahead?

1 No wall can deter these free spirits, even the stars seem to cheer on their bravery!

1 Exercise caution. New enemies have appeared.
2 The Demon King unleashes its minions, long awaiting these audacious intruders...

1 Don't confront them head-on!

1 Watch out!
2 Now!
3 Ah! A sudden twist unbalanced the heroes, then at this crucial moment, a mysterious figure enters the fray!
4 A Divinity-sent emissary? Or a spirit from the shadows?
5 She seems moved by their passion and righteousness, see her join the heroes' ranks!
6 Ah, how delightful! I await your challenge with bated breath...
7 It seems the Demon King anticipated the heroes' arrival and has gladly extended an invitation...

1 With unyielding determination, the heroes accept the challenge!
2 The Demon King reveals itself at last, exposing its hideous visage and sharp fangs. The final showdown is nigh!

1 The Demon King summons its foul army, poised for a climactic battle with the heroes... The victor will soon be revealed.

1 Amidst the clashing swords and the cries of the minions, the heroes face the Demon King—victory belongs to the righteous and the brave!
2 And now, we await the Holy Maiden's return...
3 And so we arrive at the "happily ever after," yes?
4 But we do not live in a fairy tale. There is no playwright to script a happy ending for us... What lies behind the curtain is but a cruel jest, a dark satire.
5 Let me reveal the truth behind that idyllic ending. The Holy Maiden has long succumbed to darkness, drawing power from a heretical force and leading her people into depravity.
6 And the minister, having uncovered this truth, has vowed to root out this corruption himself.

1 Ah, come now. Let us embrace the grand climax of this revelry!

1 You should take center stage for the final bow, {PlayerName}.
2 Hear that? The thunderous roar of applause! It has been far too long! This is the true essence of the Carnevale!
3 At last, the crisis has been resolved.
3 It's our hard-earned victory.
3 They're cheering for us all.
4 Lady Arbiter… I have heard… thy call…
5 I have awaited thee… for what seems like an eternity…
5 I have many questions for you.
5 How are you holding up?
5 Where can I find you?
6 Lady Arbiter… I am ensnared...
7 Beyond the clouds and among the stars... thou shalt find an inverted tower suspended in the sky—I am there, watching over Solaris from above.
8 The Lost... doth wander briefly amongst thy kind...
9 Seek her out… She, too, doth move within the folds of this festival...

1 How can that be? That Blessed Maiden... could she really be the Threnodian's Resonator? What if the Primus's words were a bunch of baloney?
2 But we saw Cartethyia following the Sentinel's instructions... They wouldn't mix up Their own Resonator, right?
3 Ugh, now my head hurts... Who was she really with? The Sentinel? Or the Threnodian?
3 He didn't seem like he was lying.
3 He definitely seemed like he was hiding something important.
3 Ugh, my head is starting to hurt too...
4 Well, probably won't get any more answers from him...
5 All the clues we've gathered so far point to the Threnodian.
6 And the Fisalia family worships the Threnodian. We'll have to wait for Carlotta to arrange an audience with them.
7 Something tells me this Carnevale is just the beginning. There's more ahead, I'm sure of it.

1 The next move is… hmm, am I getting this right? It feels a bit off...
1 Hello.
1 Try stepping back with your left foot first.
1 Dancing is not in rigid steps. Let your heart lead the way.
2 You are…
3 No, never mind… Anyway, your performance was splendid!
4 I'm here for the Carnevale as well. It's been ages since I've seen something as grand as this.
5 I love hearing the laughter and cheers of a crowd, no matter the occasion.
6 Kind stranger, could you show me those final steps from your curtain call?
7 Your Tacet Mark is glowing.
8 I'm sorry, but I can't stay here any longer. I must return...
8 Can you tell me your name before you go?
9 My name? It's… um…
10 Fl… No, I'm Cartethyia… Yes, that's right. Cartethyia.
11 Farewell, Laureate! I hope that someday, I might stand on stage with your troupe.
12 Are you alright, {PlayerName}? Some family members mentioned you were speaking to a wall… I'm worried you might still be under Phrolova's spell.
12 A wall? You didn't see her?
13 See who? Are you truly alright?
14 There was a girl here just now. She called herself Cartethyia.
15 The Sentinel led me to a girl just now.
16 Cartethyia… I'll make a note of it.
17 If she was indeed here, she is likely still in Ragunna. I will have my family start searching.
17 Let's not alarm the public just yet.
17 We should let the Carnevale continue as planned.
18 There are still many unresolved questions regarding the Order and the Sentinel. We need time to sort through what we've gathered.
19 Rushing into action now might only alert the Order's spies and disrupt what we've worked so hard to protect.
20 You're right.
21 Cartethyia... I will have my family find out more about her.
22 If we find anything, I'll contact you, and we can discuss our next steps together.
23 Until then, as you suggested…
24 Let's keep this Carnevale going.

1 Wow! Is this real? Pinch me. I can't believe how different everything looks! So this is the Carnevale, huh?

1 Having just finished their dance, the two Echo actors are already preparing for their next performance.
2 The dedicated duo bows to you, a gesture of welcome—like a rose bending to greet the morning dew. Welcome!

1 With the crisis behind you, you and your companions spend the day basking in cheers and applause.
2 Later, back at the Palazzo Agrotta, you drift off to sleep, replaying the day's memories from the Carnevale.

1 You should take center stage for the final bow, {PlayerName}.
2 Hear that? The thunderous roar of applause! It has been far too long! This is the true essence of the Carnevale!
3 At last, the crisis has been resolved.
3 It's our hard-earned victory.
3 They're cheering for us all.
4 Lady Arbiter… I have heard… thy call…
5 I have awaited thee… for what seems like an eternity…
5 I have many questions for you.
5 How are you holding up?
5 Where can I find you?
6 Lady Arbiter… I am ensnared...
7 Beyond the clouds and among the stars... thou shalt find an inverted tower suspended in the sky—I am there, watching over Solaris from above.
8 The Lost... doth wander briefly amongst thy kind...
9 Seek her out… She, too, doth move within the folds of this festival...

1 They launch a fierce assault, intent on crushing the heroes and grinding them to dust...

1 Phrolova, you do have a knack for indulging in... pointless little chores.
2 Why, there's no rule against an actor making good use of the intermission.
3 Besides, I haven't disrupted your arrangement, have I?
4 "The one from a faraway land who discerns the truth dares to raise their sword against the divine. In response, the slumbering gods break free from their shackles, revealing their true forms..."
5 The possibility of the Second Resonance Awakening is now a certainty. So we just need to see if that special Resonator truly exists.
6 Was the Blessed Maiden a Resonator for the Sentinel or the Threnodian?
7 Or both? If so... Oh, a Resonator capable of wielding both powers... I am eager to see how this story ends.
8 Cristoforo, if you don't want to spoil the next act, I might have to give your carefully crafted plot a little nudge.
9 Speaking of which, {PlayerName} shines brighter than anyone else in your play. Do you find her interesting as well?
10 Phrolova, it seems we walk different paths. I don't share your fondness for that sort of... puppet theater.
11 I merely place the characters on their stage and they act out their fates, driven by their own volition.
12 To remain courageous amidst absurdity, to pursue a spark of divine grace—this, to me, is the truest essence of humanity, don't you think?
13 Even the most pristine cadence of death pales beside the untamed, fervent, and tenacious spirits of the living.
14 In their journey, they resolutely overcome all obstacles: they pursue, they tear, they burn—simply because they desire to.
15 I think you should leave your secluded mansion. Take a walk and listen to the voices scattered across the world.
16 …Perhaps.
17 From Huanglong to Rinascita, she has indeed added a few unexpectedly beautiful notes to my symphony.
18 I am certain that, even without any direction, she will walk the path that destiny has laid before her.
19 All things ascend towards a singular point of convergence, and what awaits at the end is... immortality.
20 Before the tides of fate, we are all but…
21 …humble servants.

1 Here's another "C-MOSS"! You scrutinize his appearance, trying to pinpoint the differences... Oh! Did you block his lens?
2 This "gentleman" shakes his body, signaling you are positioned just right. He then projects his Echo friends and invites you to join in their performance.
3 With more pressing matters at hand, you kindly refuse his offer: Maybe next time!

1 I can't wait to explore! Oh, by the way, it's been a while since we last saw Zani and Phoebe. Wonder what they're up to right now...
2 Alright, let's go. We should also keep an eye out for anything unusual along the way.

1 Never before have I seen a day so steeped in both shadow and light.
2 The birds sing, the flowers bloom… yet this world knows neither true joy nor eternity.
3 Come closer, Righteous One, there's no need for hesitation.
4 I am Fenrico, the Primus of the Order of the Deep. Your deeds have reached my ears, and I have long wished to meet you. Alas, the burdens of this world delayed our meeting until now. I beg your pardon for the wait.
5 Please accept my respect for you—you and your troupe have shown great talent and ambition, breathing new life into Ragunna.
6 I ask you to deliver this message to your companions: from this day forth, the troupe shall have permanent rights to perform within the city.
6 I surely will.
6 Even if they're all Fools?
7 All mortals stumble, but through pilgrimage, they have cleansed their souls and atoned for their transgressions. They have earned their right to return to this divinely blessed land.
8 I understand that questions weigh on your heart. In the presence of a just Divinity, speak freely, and I will answer with all the honesty I possess.
9 By the great Sentinel Imperator, I swear to you. There shall be no deceit in my words.
9 I want to meet the Sentinel Imperator.
10 You have walked a path similar to Theirs. Indeed, you have the right to meet Them.
11 However, due to the Dark Tide two decades ago, the Sentinel's body was gravely wounded and remains in a state of recovery.
12 If you wish to meet Them, I will convey your request.
13 I see the thirst for truth in your eyes. It is clear that doubts still linger in your heart. Please, voice your concerns.
13 Tell me about the Blessed Fleurdelys.
14 Fleurdelys... She was the emissary of the Sentinel, and we are grateful for her contributions.
15 Twenty years ago, during the Dark Tide, she sacrificed herself to seal the calamity. She fulfilled her duties in this world and returned to the divine embrace.
15 Returned to the divine embrace?
16 Do you know how the Dark Tide came into being?
17 In Rinascita, wars were waged in the name of faith, tearing apart the Sentinel as our faith divided, weakening Their divine power.
18 The Dark Tide's true essence is the divine blood shed from the Sentinel's wounds.
19 That tragic past left deep scars, and with Their divine power drained, They could not prevent the Dark Tide's surge twenty years ago.
20 The Blessed Maiden chose to martyr herself. She once again resonated with the Sentinel and, through her sacrifice, restored some of Their divine power, bringing an end to the Dark Tide.
21 Yet, the Sentinel remains in a state of healing and still requires a mortal representative. Following the Blessed Maiden's departure, I was granted new authority to cleanse the aftermath of the Dark Tide.
22 I received the Divinity's blessing and became the new Enlightened One. By Their will, I fulfill the tasks left unfinished in this world.
23 Therefore, we must unify all beliefs, ensuring the purity and unity of our will to prevent another tragedy...
23 (Reflect on the Blessed Maiden's Second Resonance with the Sentinel.)
24 (He said she "once again resonated with the Sentinel," was that really a Second Resonance Awakening? Sentinel Jué had a trial with Jinhsi, but my permission was needed to transfer the Sentinel's power...)
24 You're hiding things from me.
25 I swear, my words are without deceit.
26 I see in your eyes that you have walked further on the path of justice than I anticipated.
27 O dear Sentinel… please forgive my transgressions.
28 The Dark Tide brought us a bloodstained lesson. To keep our people from faltering, I bound myself to silence, locking away what I witnessed on that fateful day.
29 Fleurdelys, the Unrighteous, deceived us all. She was not the Blessed Maiden chosen by the Sentinel... The true maiden has yet to reveal herself.
29 Why did people believe she was the Blessed Maiden?
29 Where did her power to seal the Dark Tide come from?
30 You must know that a being capable of rivaling our Divinity exists in this world—humanity's eternal adversary, the evil of all civilizations... the Threnodian.
