00:08Have you also come to repent and seek forgiveness?
00:14The Sentinel has revealed a path to resist temptation and corruption.
00:18We need only devote ourselves wholly to Lorelei.
00:24We're just here to see Lorelei.
00:28Patience.
00:30I see your eagerness for enlightenment, like our new brothers.
00:34You've removed your masks, but your hearts, they're still veiled.
00:40Everyone here wears a mask.
00:43Everyone in the Brunner.
00:44Without exception, never unmasked.
00:47This is the source of our suffering.
00:49The mask veils our hearts.
00:53Like our new brothers, they wear peculiar masks of madness.
00:58Poor souls tormented by evil desires.
01:03May they find peace in Lorelei's embrace.
01:13Yes, their masks are filled with madness.
01:17But even wrongdoers can seek redemption from Lorelei.
01:21The Sentinel granted Lorelei this authority, and no one can take it away.
01:28Follow Lorelei's song and your heart, and you may meet Our Lady.
01:32But if your transgressions are beyond redemption, you'll be lost in the sea of clouds forever.
01:40So what should we do to see Lorelei?
01:44Do you seek an audience with Lorelei?
01:47Sadly, you've come at a bad time.
01:50Lorelei is furious, and our mortal bodies can't withstand her wrath.
01:54We've sealed the path to her domain.
01:59We appreciate the explanation, but we believe Lorelei is in danger.
02:04We're here to help her.
02:07Someone's planning to exploit her powers.
02:16The path has been closed.
02:19You must leave.
02:24Doesn't look like we'll be talking our way past him.
02:27Let's find another way, Robert.
02:56Let's find another way.
03:15Mistleteen!
03:16Mistleteen!
03:17You're here!
03:25Mistleteen!
03:26This is Mistleteen!
03:27One of the missing echoes!
03:30They probably followed the singing.
03:34Mistleteen, do you know how to remove the barrier?
03:38Now how would an echo know that, Phoebe?
03:48They say that we just need to sing a specific song.
03:56You can understand what it's saying?
04:00A specific song, huh?
04:03That's a direct lead.
04:04But which one?
04:21Oh, I have been cleansed of my impure thoughts.
04:25I can finally escape from my wrongdoings.
04:30Sing!
04:31Sing!
04:32Dance!
04:33For we have been granted peace and freedom!
04:37Yes.
04:38We only need to relish this moment.
04:42Oh, you've also come to rid yourself of your misdeeds.
04:47Then join us.
04:48Sing!
04:49Sing with us!
04:51The door has been shut.
04:53Simply sing along and it will open before you.
04:58Just sing.
04:59It doesn't look like we'll get more out of them.
05:02Let's go check somewhere else.
05:13These inscriptions and markings on the Stella seem to say something.
05:18But most of these are worn out and don't look like a modern Rinasita script.
05:23Phoebe, can you read any of it?
05:25Let's see.
05:28This seems like an ancient holy script dedicated to recording the deeds of Sentinel Imperator.
05:35As for its content, I shall grant this power to...
05:41The Knight Queen.
05:45May she...
05:47During the day...
05:52Sea of Clouds...
05:56Much of this text is illegible.
05:59However, the adjacent drawing is mostly intact.
06:04It shows Sentinel Imperator speaking to a massive creature.
06:09And the creature slowly shifts from an immense amorphous form into a humanoid shape.
06:19Hmm...
06:20Could it be Lorelei?
06:22After all, no other being that large lives above the Sea of Clouds.
06:28Actually, I'm not sure if the other figure is the Sentinel.
06:32It looks a little different from the Cathedral statues.
06:37Maybe it's just the lack of clarity in the drawing.
06:41Anyway, does it mean Lorelei and the Sentinel are somehow connected to each other?
06:49Nothing about the barrier, though.
06:51Are there any other clues?
06:53We should investigate further.
07:05We should investigate further.
07:17I don't know.
07:17You're the only one!
07:18What?
07:19We should see it.
07:19You're the only one!
07:20You're the only one!
07:21You're the only one!
07:21You're the only one!
07:22What is it?
07:23I wanna not wait for you, though.
07:25I don't know how to do this, though.
07:25I want to wait for you to go.
07:26I don't know.
07:27I don't know.
07:30I want to wait for you to remove all the aliens.
07:37I guess singing is our only option for clearing that barrier.
07:44But which song?
07:48The stela we saw mentioned the sentinel, and we're in the ruins of the seminary.
07:55Meaning it should be a chorale.
07:57There is also the inscription in front of the barrier.
08:01We mourn the martyrdom of the Blessed Maiden.
08:07Any chorales you know ring a bell, Phoebe?
08:12The martyrdom of the Blessed Maiden.
08:16Could this be the aria of the Blessed Maiden?
08:20It's a chorale rarely used these days.
08:24I doubt most priests even know of it.
08:28The Blessed Maiden?
08:30We met a playwright named Christoforo earlier.
08:33He shared some stories about her.
08:39Phoebe, if you know this chorale, why not give it a try?
08:43It might just clear the barrier.
08:51Me?
09:05Oh, okay then.
09:07I suppose it's our best option at the moment.
09:11I'll give it a try.
09:12I should've horrified my slight clicker.
09:12I'll give it a try.
09:16Eat it like a M-Cleaf plank that needs everyone.
09:35I'll give it a try.
09:41I'll give it a try.
09:42millise compra-
10:09You
10:38A song of false meaning.
10:42Nature.
10:49A twisted view.
10:52Tear it to shreds.
10:59Uh, did you get the corral wrong?
11:03I'm sure I sing the Aurea of the Blessed Vegan.
11:07Not good. She doesn't seem too clear to that one.
11:20Shadow descends. You will obey.
11:27That time again.
11:30Stay behind me.
11:38Load it per face.
11:41Leave it to me.
11:43Okay.
11:47Okay.
11:48Load it.
12:13That flower looks like the petals we found in Whisper Windhaven.
12:18That flower looks like the petals we found in Whisper Windhaven.
12:21It's the Fraxodus. I've dealt with them before. And I've seen a flower just like this.
12:30How long have I been in slumber? This nightmare. How long was I trapped in it? Are you also part
12:42of the dream?
12:46No. We are not. Might you be Lorelai?
12:52I am travelers from afar. I sense the kindness pulsing in your hearts. You must be the ones who broke
13:04the chains of my nightmare.
13:08The Oathbreakers.
13:10The Oathbreakers. Hiding behind their masks of madness. They tainted the nimbus sectum with corrupted blooms. Drowning me in rage
13:21and sorrow. Endless nightmares became my prison.
13:28Masks of madness. I recall those people at the entrance of the atrium mentioned it.
13:35Had you not freed me from my nightmare, I would never be able to fulfill the sentinel's task. The tides
13:46of the nimbus sanctum would have engulfed the whole of Raguna. Just as they once claimed the sacred temple.
13:53Now lying in ruins beneath you. Wait. The sentinel. Does that mean...
14:03Yes. The sentinel molded me from a mindless being to the form you see. And bestowed upon me the most
14:15precious gift. A soul.
14:19They commanded me to restrain the clouds and prevent the remnant energy within it from dissipating.
14:27Dissipating.
14:29Can you contact Imperator? I need to meet with the sentinel.
14:34Unfortunately, it lies beyond my power. The sentinel's link to the mortal realm is severed. Only through collective prayer and
14:48a rite of the height of the carnival. Only then can mortals briefly commune with them.
14:54Sigh.
14:56Alright. You mean the carnival?
15:01No. That's impossible. The current primus, Fenrico the Enlightened One, was given a direct oracle from the sentinel. The sentinel
15:11has always been with the people.
15:17I'm afraid the sentinel's current state transcends mortal understanding.
15:24Your Primus is no exception.
15:33Should doubt linger in your mind, I implore you to await the rites completion.
15:38The sentinel will surely answer the people's call, not your so-called enlightened one.
15:49One last thing, those oath breakers wearing masks of madness you mentioned, do you know who they are?
15:58All that I know is that they are not from Renesita.
16:04In the whispers between dreams, I heard them speak of their leader, a woman they called the Conductor.
16:17Conductor.
16:21It is time I return to my slumber.
16:25Their wicked acts have scarred the sea of clouds, and I must mend it within my dreams.
16:42The song shall guide you out of this domain.
16:46Farewell, visitors.
17:01What a wild turn this job's taken.
17:04Seeing the legendary Lorelai up close, almost makes it worth the trouble.
17:15Hmm?
17:17Are you alright, Phoebe?
17:21Hmm?
17:23I...
17:24I'm fine.
17:26I...
17:26I'm just...
17:27Processing Lorelai's words.
17:30Forgive me.
17:31I...
17:32I...
17:33I need a moment to reflect.
17:37In any case, we managed to stop their plot in time and found the missing Vitrium Dancer.
17:47Speaking of that Vitrium Dancer, what brought it here?
17:51Lorelai's song?
17:52Or maybe the Sentinel's guidance?
17:56But those wearing the masks of madness.
17:59The Fraxidus, right?
18:01I'm curious about their role in all this.
18:05I think they supplied Liberto with the flowers that turn echoes into tacit discoids.
18:19What's our next move, Rover?
18:24You're right.
18:25Those snakes lurked in the shadows, using Gilberto as their fall guy.
18:30We can't expose them just by ourselves.
18:35Oh, another thing.
18:37Since the Fraxidus is conspiring with the Vesalias, that makes them an enemy of the Montelli family.
18:44There happens to be an auction at Averardo Vault today.
18:48The top members of the family will be there.
18:53We should tip off the family about the Fraxidus scheme.
18:57The Montellis can't afford to ignore this threat.
19:04What about you, Phoebe?
19:08I intend to return to the Order first.
19:11While I believe Lorelai is truthful, I can't imagine the Primus would deceive our people.
19:18He is, after all, the Enlightened One.
19:24According to Lorelai, the Sentinel will deliver an Oracle during the Carnival.
19:30That's when the Truth will come to light.
19:34Speaking of which, are all Primuses called the Enlightened One?
19:39No.
19:41Only Lord Fenrico has ever directly communicated with the Sentinel.
19:46Previous Primuses were merely indirect representatives, not the Enlightened One.
19:53Silence and composure are gifts from the Great Imperator.
19:58I'll keep today's events between us, locked away in my heart.
20:05Then I believe this is where we part ways.
20:10The Codex reminds us, it is not the Lighthouse that guides us through the storm to safety,
20:16but our own eyes fixed on the shore.
20:22I'd like to offer these words to you.
20:26May your eyes always shine bright with clarity.
