03:16Relax, young man...
03:19Life's only just unfurling its sails for you...
03:23Why sit there like one of those Dua statues in the Order's halls?
03:28Don't be afraid to show a little spark...
03:33I...
03:35I...
03:35I...
03:35I was just thinking about my future...
03:38Is Raguna truly lost to me forever?
03:43Ah, some have found their way back...
03:46But under the Order's watchful eye...
03:49Is that really what you want?
03:52A life without freedom?
03:56Listen...
03:56Listen...
03:56You don't need a grand stage to leave your mark...
04:00A true Raganese can turn even a ragged tent into the finest theatre...
04:05That's what I'm preparing to do...
04:08I might be an old man now...
04:11I might be an old man now...
04:11But don't let that fool you...
04:13I was once crowned with the laurel, you know...
04:18You...
04:19Are...
04:21Are you...
04:22Mr. Bardolino?
04:25In the flesh...
04:27Ha ha ha ha!
04:31As I took my final bow on stage...
04:35A bright light pierced through the clouds...
04:38Shining down from the sky...
04:40And then...
04:41A radiant laurel descended upon me...
04:44And I heard a voice...
04:46It was the Sentinel's voice...
04:48Ringing in my head...
04:52I asked them a question that had puzzled me since childhood...
04:56The ultimate philosophical riddle...
04:59What should I eat tonight?
05:03And they answered...
05:05The body is the temple of the mind...
05:09To keep your mind sharp...
05:11Do consume healthy food...
05:14Such as...
05:16The Loras Salad...
05:21But why Loras Salad?
05:23I was baffled...
05:25And the meaning still eludes me to this very day...
05:28I've never been quick-witted though...
05:30And the Order's doctrines never quite took hold...
05:34Acting, however...
05:36That is where my true passion lies...
05:43But...
05:44Why did a blessed laureate like you get banished by the Order?
05:48Back when I won the Loras...
05:51Raguna was led by the Holy Maiden...
05:53She promoted all sorts of grand celebrations during the Carnival...
05:59An unceasing tide of revelry...
06:04Stages sprang up on every corner of the city...
06:08Performances dancing through the streets...
06:10And shops adorned in vibrant hues...
06:14Even on rainy nights...
06:16You could still hear music playing in the square...
06:20Some performers wove their critiques into their acts...
06:24Sharp as she was...
06:26The Holy Maiden noticed...
06:27She refined city policy with each whisper of dissent...
06:32Ah, those were the golden days, my friend...
06:36The Holy Maiden once said that if she were to leave this world...
06:40She'd want no majestic tomb...
06:43Solemn funeral...
06:45But the grandest carnival as her final farewell...
06:50And then...
06:52She really did leave us...
06:55The current Primus took her place...
06:58And in the name of mourning the Holy Maiden...
07:01Issued all sorts of bans on the Carnival...
07:05But is that really what she would have wanted?
07:09The Order's grip tightened...
07:12And the Carnival performances were reduced to dull...
07:16Monotonous shadows of their former selves...
07:19One year...
07:20I strung a wire from a gondola...
07:23To the top of the clock tower in Liberty Square...
07:26And another...
07:27From the tower to the Vesalia's mansion...
07:31Then...
07:32I disguised myself as one of the LaGuardia...
07:35To fool the Acolytes...
07:36And climbed to the roof along the wire...
07:41Midway through the Order's performance...
07:44I hopped on a wing-ray with a Cloudcaster...
07:47Showering the entire city with flowers...
07:51Yes...
07:52It was a magnificent sight...
07:54The wing-ray soared higher than the Acolytes could reach...
07:58They couldn't do anything but watch golden pink petals rain from the sky for three whole days...
08:05They struggled to clean up the flowers from the streets...
08:08And it took a downpour to wash them all away...
08:11That Cloudcaster...
08:13Adapted from a music van...
08:15Became the prototype for the one we use on stage today...
08:20Ah, but that's all in the past...
08:22To this day...
08:24I'm still not sure what crime they pinned on me...
08:27Maybe...
08:28Walking the wire without protection...
08:30Ha!
08:34Anyway...
08:34I'm just an old relic now...
08:37But you lot...
08:39You're the main characters of this era...
08:42Facing down every obstacle...
08:45With fire in your bellies...
08:47But isn't our fate already sealed?
08:50Without the so-called salvation the Order preaches...
08:54We're doomed to our banishment...
08:58Just...
08:58Lost souls...
09:00Dying in obscurity...
09:04Life is short...
09:05And we weren't born just to atone...
09:08The Order may banish us...
09:09But they can't take away our right to sing...
09:12Death is one of many possible ends...
09:15But it's certainly not the worst...
09:17Perhaps being forgotten is what the Order wanted for us...
09:21They want to erase all traces of our existence...
09:25Grind us into dust and drag us into the abyss...
09:28But we'll fight the tide and live our lives to the fullest...
09:35Members of the Troop may come and go...
09:37But they never truly left us...
09:39Their deeds and songs are passed down through the ages...
09:45One day...
09:47Our voices will echo across every land...
09:50Our words will reach every corner of the world...
09:53And by then...
09:55Even the tacit discords in the stormy sea will know our names...
10:01That's the spirit, boy!
10:04Even if I can't earn myself a proper title...
10:07I'll become Rinna Sita's most enigmatic legend...
10:12When I'm gone...
10:13I'll leave behind a coffin that sings...
10:17Or maybe...
10:18Turn into a lark...
10:21Singing every day and night!
10:37To all theinery..
10:40As of mercy...
10:41To all the퍼...
10:44That's it...
10:46It's so powerful...
10:46Ha, ha, ha, ha...
10:48What say you, Brad?
10:49You like this stage design?
10:52It could be used for this year's carnival!
11:06Ah, our little chat reminded me of those good old days.
11:11So why not relive that scene I just mentioned?
11:15I still remember that famous line.
11:19Even without wings, we can still soar to the heavens.
11:25Now that you mention it, that is a very good question.
11:34Please don't mind him.
11:37We like our performances big and bold, after all.
11:53That fight with the dragon probably messed with the mountain's stability.
11:57If Bartolino keeps moving around up there, it could get dangerous.
12:02We need to find a way to get him down, and fast.
12:08We might need your help with this.
12:11Paro should have some useful items in our box.
12:18We've got a cloud caster that can conjure up some fluffy cloud cushions.
12:22That make the perfect stairs to reach Mr. Bartolino, or catch him for a soft landing.
12:28But some of its parts have been borrowed by other troop members.
12:56Sailors cheer as hearts ignite.
13:00Soon, we'll break these chains so tight.
13:04Oh, hello.
13:06I'm writing a sea shanty.
13:08Did you know, Raguna Gondolier songs are usually in 3-4 time.
13:12Matches the flow of water perfectly.
13:14When they row, their strokes go slow dip, quick lift.
13:18Which fits that rhythm.
13:19But for our troop, we use a 4-4 signature with strong and weak beats.
13:24It's catchy, and perfect for sailors to sing along to as we work together to tackle the waves.
13:30Sailors cheer as hearts ignite.
13:33Soon, we'll break these chains so tight.
13:38Set the course.
13:40Embrace the storm.
13:43Sailing on till light is born.
13:46Actually, boarding the pilgrim sail was my choice.
13:52I used to compose hymns for the order.
13:55Sounds prestigious.
13:57But the same old rhythm and lyrics started to wear on me.
14:01Music should be alive.
14:03So, I decided to take the pilgrimage.
14:08Believing I'd find new inspiration from the divinity.
14:11Hmm.
14:12You probably already know what the pilgrimage really is.
14:16I was foolish to believe the order's lies.
14:19But luckily, the troop found me and brought me in.
14:23Ah, have you seen any of our performances, perhaps?
14:26We don't do those lofty soliloquies that give you existential dread.
14:31That doesn't mean our plays are shallow.
14:33They're just more hopeful and speak directly to the heart.
14:37We do Commedia Improvisal.
14:40A style of play that's all about those fleeting, beautiful moments of everyday life.
14:45We sing of love that endures.
14:47Enemies who become allies in the fight against evil.
14:50The order may scoff at such stories, but they're real, human stories.
14:55Full of ambition, dignity, and everything that makes us human.
14:59Traveling with the troop, I've learned to see the beauty in the small things.
15:04And I've met people facing similar and unique life struggles.
15:09Only those who walk in the fields can really see how the crops grow.
15:13It's the same with music.
15:15You can't truly know it until you've listened.
15:19That's why I'm always chatting with the crew.
15:21Gathering ideas for my ballads and shanties.
15:24The true rhyme of our time.
15:27Sailors cheer as hearts ignite.
15:30Soon, we'll break these the Cloudcaster.
15:34Oh, I use its base as a desk.
15:37Our first mate lent it to me so I could write more comfortably.
15:40Here it is. Careful, it's heavy.
16:02I'd rather be a wild flower, ignored by all in my own power, than a rose that
16:12bends and sways.
16:14Bathed in grace, but lost in dismay.
16:19Isn't it obvious?
16:20I'm practicing for the carnival.
16:23I'm the troop's soprano and helmswoman.
16:26Steering Rina Sita's Echo Ship isn't just about strength.
16:30It's about resonating with the echoes.
16:32After years at sea, I've learned that some echoes are sensitive to our songs and will react to them in
16:39different ways.
16:40The Order warns of sirens lurking in the stormy sea's mists.
16:44But they don't scare me.
16:46I'll show them who the real siren of these waters really is.
16:49I'd rather be a wild flower, ignored by all in my own power, than a-
16:58Who knows?
16:58Ask the Order and they'll give you a hundred reasons.
17:01I can't even remember how long I drifted on that pilgrim sail.
17:05But the troop found me just in time and took me in.
17:09What's past is past.
17:11It's the present that counts.
17:12Let go of the bad days and enjoy the moment.
17:14This is the way to live, hmm?
17:17I'd rather be a wild flower, ignored by all cloud caster.
17:24Hmm, it does ring a bell.
17:25Here, the resonance unit.
17:28It helps me find the right pitch and rhythm.
17:30Works like a charm.
17:32You should give it a try too.
18:01Come on fish, come to my net.
18:04Me?
18:05Just prepping dinner.
18:06The storm's passed so it's the perfect time for fishing.
18:11The captain once told me a secret.
18:13The fiercer the storm, the more fish it brings.
18:17Sometimes, we even see fish swept up by the wind, raining down from the sky.
18:25Usually, yeah.
18:26But when we dock on an island, the captain and first mate will buy some other food from the locals.
18:31Come on fish, come to my net.
18:33Back in Raguna, I was just a fledgling fisherman.
18:36When I accidentally caught an erasti.
18:39Turns out, it's a sacred fish.
18:42Only meant as an offering to the sentinel.
18:45But mortals aren't allowed to catch it.
18:47But it swam right into my net.
18:50Not really my fault, was it?
18:51Though, the order didn't see it that way.
18:54They banished me out here.
18:56Like, tossing the fish onto dry land.
18:58Luckily, the troop found me.
19:00I can still fish like I used to.
19:03Otherwise, I'd probably be dead.
19:05Or living as a pirate.
19:08Though, to be honest, life here ain't too different from a pirate's.
19:12Except, we're not hunting for treasure.
19:14But for smiles and cheers from our punters.
19:17Come on fish, come to my net.
19:20Yeah, I borrowed the reel for me fishing rod.
19:23We scavenge all sorts of stuff from the beach.
19:25And fix them up as needed.
19:27Nothing goes to waste.
19:29Don't be fooled by appearances.
19:31This stuff can be pretty versatile.
19:35Good. We have all the parts now.
19:37Time to work, Pero.
19:53Everything's set for takeoff.
19:55Let's position a cloud cushion beneath Mr. Bartolino.
19:58Then we'll pop the balloons and bring him down safely.
20:01Although we might need a bigger cushion.
20:04The cloud caster's resonance unit responds to song.
20:07The louder our singing, the more powerful the effect.
20:10But, in that case...
20:13Hmph.
20:13Alright.
20:14Friends, old and new.
20:16Come and join this sing-along!
20:41Oh, thank you, dear boy.
20:45You helped me complete this performance.
20:48And for me, I'm going to do it.
20:49To fulfill one of my dearest wishes.
20:51Please.
20:53I'll gladly give you my most prized possession.
21:18sauver
21:18Apologies for my late arrival to such a magnificent performance.
21:23Did I miss anything?
21:27Oh my, oh my. What an honor to witness the beauty of our generous benefactor.
21:36Thank you, my lady, for rescuing this humble soul in this moment of need.
21:47You flatter me. The family's protection extends to all who stand by us.
21:57Might I say what a pleasure it is to see you again, Miss Carlotta.
22:01You have my heartfelt gratitude.
22:09Is everything going smoothly with your family, Miss Carlotta?
22:14Yes, thank you. The order's scheme was uncovered as planned.
22:19Uncle Capele was rescued, and grandfather has handled the rest.
22:24I still owe you thanks for improvising with me in front of that priest.
22:39You've got a sharp mind. No pain, no gain, as grandfather used to say.
22:44I'm pleased we're on the same page.
22:50Your kindness is much appreciated. The Montellis won't forget this.
22:56In return, I'll share everything I know.
23:02I believe you've noticed that the order has been undermining the family under the guise of its doctrines.
23:09Alienation, monopolization, just a few tricks up their sleeve.
23:14Their true motives, however, run deeper.
23:18Their alliance with the Fraxidus speaks volumes.
23:22While we don't know the full extent of their conspiracy, one thing is clear.
23:27Their sights are set on this year's Carnival.
23:32The Carnival is likely where you'll find clues about the Sentinel.
23:37Legend has it that the Sentinel, Imperator, has been secluded in the heavens, cut off from the mortal realm.
23:46The last record of the Sentinel is from the Carnival a decade ago.
23:51At that time, the entire city was shrouded in mist.
23:55Ghosts roamed the streets.
23:57A dragon roared from the sky, and a sea behemoth raged, summoning towering waves.
24:04Do any clues come to mind?
24:13The mist might be coming from the remnant clouds in the Nimbus Sanctum.
24:17Lorelei has the power to purify and control them.
24:21But the Fraxidus interfered.
24:24Remnant clouds corrupted by evil will disrupt Echoes' frequencies.
24:28If the mess had spread to the city, it would have stirred the Echoes into chaos.
24:35We are lucky that you and Zani, along with that acolyte, awakened Lorelei in time.
24:41You prevented the mist from spreading and averted the waveform.
24:46The Fraxidus must still be licking their wounds.
24:51At that time, the entire city was shrouded in mist.
24:55Ghosts roamed the streets.
24:57A dragon roared from the sky, and a sea behemoth raged, summoning towering waves.
25:04Do any clues come to mind?
25:07The Order has allied with the Fraxidus to control the dragon.
25:12From what I saw when I connected with its frequency, they might be planning to command it to attack Raguna
25:18during the Carnival.
25:19After the Tacit Discords took over this isle, the Order used them as an excuse to forbid any entry.
25:27It might be their way of concealing the dragon's existence.
25:31But without the Lycoris, the Dragon of Dirge is now off the table.
25:37At that time, the entire city was shrouded in mist.
25:42The Montelli traders used Lycoris in experiments to turn Echoes back into Tacit Discords.
25:48If they were successful, the ghosts seen ten years ago may have also been created this way.
25:55Ghost is just a dramatic name given by the Raganese for Tacit Discords.
25:59They look nearly identical to Echoes, especially in the mist.
26:04With your help, Grandfather has thwarted their plan.
26:07No Corrupted Echoes will appear at this year's Carnival.
26:12At that time, the entire city was shrouded into-
26:15The permanent clouds spreading, experiments to turn Echoes, and the Dragon's manipulation.
26:20The Order plans to recreate these disasters at this year's ceremony.
26:25The Order and the Fraxidus are allies.
26:27To prevent the Carnival's sabotage, we must stop them.
26:31But, what is their motive?
26:41The Primus called it a divine punishment, and took the opportunity to appear as a savior.
26:47A perfect way to build legitimacy.
26:54The Order relies on the people's faith in the Sentinel.
26:57For the Sentinel's ten year absence, faith in the Order has waned.
27:01They must be desperate to restore that trust.
27:06It is for this reason that the Order has been forced to revive the festival.
27:13Let's consider the implications.
27:16If the Carnival proceeds unhindered, how would it affect the Order?
27:26The current Primus claims to be the Enlightened One, the Sentinel's Resonator.
27:32However, based on the prophecy we found in the Ruins, this role is meant for the young Maiden who is
27:38destined to heed the Divine Oracles during the Carnival.
27:42The Carnival is the only time humans can directly communicate with the Sentinel.
27:48Normally, it's the Primus who conveys the Sentinel's words.
27:54A successful Carnival offers a chance for citizens to meet the Sentinel in person.
28:00But for the Primus, and possibly the Order, it poses a threat if they've been fabricating the Oracles.
28:10To sabotage it while still maintaining their authority, they partnered with the Fraxidus.
28:18The Fraxidus will cause chaos during the Carnival, and the Order will swoop in as the Saviors, restoring public trust
28:26just as they did before.
28:31So far, you've helped us crush three of their schemes. But one remains.
28:41We have evidence that the Cetus is being manipulated, and the Fraxidus are setting up their final plan.
28:48With their whereabouts unknown, we'll need to adapt our strategy as the Carnival unfolds.
28:55From what I've noticed, you're not one to act passively or pin your hopes on others.
29:00You prefer to strike first and steer events in your favor.
29:06Winning the Laurel might give you the chance to talk with the Sentinel.
29:10The Sentinel's Resonator may also be present.
29:14So...
29:22Our aim has always been clear.
29:25To restore the Carnival to its former glory with a performance for the ages.
29:33If the Divine truly exists, would they wish to see their people living without freedom?
29:39Or witness a festival twisted into a tool for tyrants?
29:45If we win the Laurel, we'll show that such punishment is absurd.
29:51But, if that's truly their design, we shall break those Divine shackles ourselves.
30:00Whether Divinity exists or not, we will fight for Raguna's freedom.
30:05Where everyone has the right to live and pursue a future of their own choosing!
30:11The Montellis share this vision.
30:13Only in a free society can a fair and open market thrive.
30:20However, the troop alone is too weak.
30:24The family is under close watch and our enemy hides in the shadows.
30:29We need your strength to find our way forward.
30:38I'm pleased we've reached an agreement once more.
30:49Alright.
30:50What should we do now?
30:52Any plans?
30:54Since the Order intends to sabotage the Carnival and incite chaos amongst the guests,
31:00confronting them directly only plays into their hands.
31:04You've seen the troops' unique approach to combat, haven't you?
31:09That's precisely why we're allies with them.
31:12We will turn any disturbances into a theatrical performance.
31:18I can see our friend here is still a bit confused.
31:22No worries, my dear boy.
31:24We'll have a quick rehearsal before the Carnival begins.
31:27Speaking of which...
31:29Ms. Carlotta, would you honor us by joining our performance?
31:34Me?
31:36I do have some stage experience, though...
31:40I must confess I may be a bit out of practice.
31:44We don't know what challenges we'll face, so your help will be needed, Ms. Carlotta.
31:49Plus, it's a chance for you to get to know our methods.
31:53If you insist.
31:55Wonderful!
31:56As the festivities continue, if you're both ready, please join us on the stage of the Troopliner.
32:26Our rehearsals are rather straightforward.
32:29No scripts, just pure intuition and our senses guiding us.
32:33That's what makes Comedia Improviso truly come alive.
32:38For our improvised comedy, we start with a theme.
32:42From there, we build our lines and act on the fly, responding to the unfolding show and audience reactions.
32:50But with the limitless capacity for human creativity at play, the plot can sometimes veer into the... well, unconventional.
32:59To prevent things from spiraling too far, we set an anchor for the performance.
33:06Pardon my interruption, but I'm quite curious. What sort of bizarre plots have you encountered?
33:14Well, something like a humble craftsman from a small town sets sail on a rainy night, stumbles upon ancient ruins,
33:24is reincarnated with superpowers, and then decides to conquer the galaxy, becoming the emperor of the stars.
33:35So, we draft a basic outline that assigns roles and guides the plot's direction.
33:42And this time, our outline is...
33:45A kingdom is attacked, monsters run rampant, and the Demon King has kidnapped the Holy Maiden.
33:51A few brave heroes accept the Minister's quest to defeat the Demon King and rescue her.
34:07This outline holds special meaning. We want to pay tribute to the play once performed by the Blessed Maiden herself,
34:14which was also about a hero facing a Demon King.
34:18Good people have their wishes fulfilled, heroes appear in a time of crisis, justice triumphs over evil, and united friends
34:27are undefeatable.
34:30This is the tale the Blessed Maiden once told, and it's a universal story we want to portray.
34:37To me, the world is a stage, and performing is much like combat. Coordinated movements, quick thinking, sharp reflexes, and
34:46above all, trust in your allies.
34:51What I'm getting at, is that you both are very skilled and capable. We don't have many do's and don'ts.
34:57So relax, and express yourselves freely on stage.
35:03This rehearsal is to help you get familiar with basic stage movements, techniques, and the troupe's style, and to build
35:09good rapport.
35:12Exactly. I'll handle the stage lighting, Brant will narrate, and the rest will take on the role of the audience.
35:20If you're ready, let's begin.
35:23Everyone, a big round of applause to welcome the Rover and Miss Carlotta on stage!
35:42All right, next I'll spin the prologue of our tale, setting the scene for how our brave heroes first crossed
35:49paths.
35:55Once upon a time, a hero roamed the world. Undaunted by the lack of a divine vessel, he embarked on
36:03a perilous journey across tempestuous seas.
36:09Alone in the dark, a young girl of untethered spirits soared against towering barriers with wings of defiance.
36:19The winds of fate brought them together.
36:28As the world teetered on the brink of absolute darkness, they found solace in each other's gaze.
36:38Together, they became unshakable allies, standing strong against the tides of fate.
36:53Even if light were to fade from the world, and the stars ceased to shine, they would still blaze like
37:00the sun.
37:05Two thousand ships have Keeling добru…
37:06a couple hundred you!
37:09Enchanted path to death.
37:10The frustration between the two gases are toweringudding, and there were none.
37:56Bravo, bravo!
38:00Seeing your chemistry, I decided to take a little creative liberty with the story.
38:05Anyway, it didn't stray too far from the outline, right?
38:09The thrill of improvisation is in its unpredictability.
38:13There's always a rush of excitement with every twist and turn.
38:17Your movements were seamless, elegant, and powerful.
38:20I'm confident you'll shine at the carnival.
38:25It was all thanks to you.
38:27You inspired me and kept my spirits high.
38:34You'll master it in no time, I'm sure.
38:37All right, that's enough for today.
38:39Let's save the grand reveal for the carnival.
38:42Oh, and speaking of which, there's still something we need to prepare for you, isn't there?
38:48You mean the essential item for the carnival performance?
38:54Don't worry.
38:56I've taken care of everything.
38:59Oh, so it's handled then.
39:01I can't wait to see it.
39:07I have a small gift for you.
39:10Let's head back to Raguna together, shall we?
39:26Please, follow me.
39:30Where are we going?
39:34Please allow me to keep that a secret for now.
39:37I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise.
39:40But here's a hint.
39:42You've been there before.
39:53Oh, dear Lady Carlotta.
39:55Thank the Sentinel you are finally back.
39:58I was just about to close up shop to prepare for tomorrow's carnival.
40:03You have completed my request, haven't you?
40:08Of course, Lady Carlotta.
40:10You should have more faith in my skills.
40:14Here you are.
40:20A small token of my appreciation.
40:24Abby, I have something for you as well.
40:30Wow, really?
40:31I get a gift, too?
40:33You're so nice.
40:36Ah, so that's why Lady Carlotta was so insistent on using only the finest materials and meticulous craftsmanship for this
40:45piece.
40:50For a moment, I feared she lost faith in my skills and was plotting to hand over the shop to
40:56someone else.
41:00But now I see why this little creation was so important to you, Lady Carlotta.
41:11Niala, you do have a flair for dramatics.
41:17Anyway, why don't you unwrap it?
41:29I took the liberty of having Niala custom-made this mask based on my impression of you.
41:35I hope it suits your taste.
41:47I'm pleased you like it.
41:51The carnival is a splendid reverie, and the mosque is its passport.
41:58May it help you navigate the carnival with ease, and let you enjoy it to your heart's contend.
42:07We will, for sure.
42:12May I take a bit more of your time?
42:14Walk with me through Raguna tonight.
42:19I have some additional information to share with you.
42:28Raguna.
42:37This jewel, the sapphire that crowns Solaris.
42:45The waters of Raguna serve as a mirror, reflecting the countless faces of this city, much like our own reflections.
42:58There was a time when the currents swept us into the jaws of uncharted waters, where relentless storms and voracious
43:06waves awaited.
43:08But after weathering such trials, they revealed to us a hidden gem.
43:13The shores themselves.
43:16My family has always been drawn to the thrill of a new voyage.
43:21One stormy night, fate decided to play a hand.
43:25What we discovered there on that island, the technology and novel ideas, was nothing short of a blessing in disguise.
43:34There exists only one relatively safe route from the Black Shores to Raguna, a path known solely to the Montelli
43:41family.
43:43As long as you stayed on this course, you were bound to encounter the troop.
43:48My family has always been drawn to the thrill of a new voyage.
43:52One stormy night, fate decided to play a hand.
43:57Exactly.
43:58When we heard the Black Shores were hunting for a legitimate entry into Raguna, I thought, why not bring them
44:05into our little venture?
44:07Hence the invitation.
44:10My family has always been drawn to the thrill of a new voyage.
44:15One stormy night, fate decided to play a hand.
44:20What we discovered there on that island, the technology and novel ideas, was nothing short of a blessing in disguise.
44:28Our intentions might not be as grandiose or ominous as you think.
44:33We seek liberation.
44:35And to achieve it, we're pursuing the truth behind Riniceta's origins.
44:41Legend has it that when people first arrived on this island, Genesis Nexus was already here, welcoming them.
44:49The prevailing belief is that the Sentinel gifted us this technology.
44:54And despite nobody ever seeing the Sentinel in person, we talk with them through supposed telepathy.
45:02Notice anything strange about that story?
45:08Terminals conjure up echoes.
45:10And the Genesis Nexus allows the Raganese access to common echoes.
45:15If the Genesis Nexus was present when the first settlers arrived, who built it?
45:22And really, if no one's ever laid eyes on the Sentinel, how can we be so sure that statue really
45:29represents them?
45:30It seems to me the Order might have spun us a tale, hiding the true origins behind their grand myths.
45:39No, we have no ambitions to rule or to renounce our faith.
45:44And really, this city should not be ruled by any one entity.
45:50The hour grows late.
45:51I have arranged accommodations for you at Palazzo Ogrotta in the south.
45:56Let us walk there together, and I can share a story along the way.
46:01Think of it as a bedtime tale.
46:03I learned it from the Troop.
46:05It's about Fleur-de-Lys, the Blessed Maiden.
46:13Once, the Blessed Maiden was just a simple peasant girl.
46:19During the Sentinel's gratitude rite, the young Fleur-de-Lys managed to sneak past the guards and drink the sacramental
46:26wine.
46:28Every drop.
46:30Perhaps it was the intoxicating wine in Eglatown, or simply her lack of experience with spirits.
46:37But she soon found herself quite drunk.
46:41Swaying on her feet, she ascended the ceremony's grand platform, lifted her threadbare dress, and began a rather ungainly dance.
46:53Seizing the sacred horn, she played a carefree folk tune, dodging the guards and weaving through the crowd with surprising
47:01agility.
47:03Remarkably, the crowd, as if drawn by an unseen force, followed her lead, transforming the solemn ceremony into a wild
47:13parade of cheers and revelry.
47:16Naturally, the Order was less than pleased.
47:21The Pilgrim's Sale did not yet exist, so Fleur-de-Lys faced three days of confinement.
47:27During that time, she used her prison walls as a canvas.
47:33That unforgettable day of disordered revelry left a lasting mark on all who witnessed it.
47:42Is it not remarkable?
47:45A rebellious girl, chosen by the Sentinel to become the Blessed Maiden.
47:50If the Sentinel indeed permitted such a girl to serve as their spokesperson, it suggests that all this joyous revelry
47:58is not something they disdain.
48:02Perhaps they too enjoy poetry, painting, tears, laughter, romantic tales of nights and dancing amidst crowds.
48:12Much like ourselves.
48:28A rebellious girl, chosen by the Sentinel to become the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:30only one who is the one who is the only one who is the only one who is the
48:45The people of this island came from diverse civilizations now lost to time, but through
48:51plays and tradition, they sought to preserve memories of their heritage.
48:56In the past, while the clash of cultures led to conflict, the Ranganese united through
49:02faith, restoring balance even if precarious.
49:07To maintain this unity, we've always needed both a sentinel and a play based on a shared
49:13legend that gives us roles, yet this play has endured for so long that we've become defined
49:20by our roles.
49:21Noble, commoner, believer, merchant.
49:26What was meant to unite us now stifles us.
49:38Now, we yearn for a day when we can truly set aside our titles and positions, express our
49:45true selves, and join together in celebration.
49:55Yes, born from hope and idealism, it reminds the Ranganese of our initial vision of equality
50:02and freedom.
50:04It also affirms our true worth.
50:08While the Order's true intentions remain unclear, we are certain their influence has already
50:15eroded the very foundations of our society.
50:19People revere the divine figure the Order has constructed, yet they also live in fear of punishment.
50:28Legends become accomplices in fostering ignorance, and faith becomes the loyal executioner of
50:35cruel punishment.
50:37An invisible cage has trapped us all.
50:40Speaking of freedom within a cage is absurd.
50:44Fear and ignorance are our foremost enemies.
50:48This year's carnival will spark a flame fierce enough to burn down that cage.
51:05Rest well, and tomorrow we shall take the stage together at the carnival.
51:20Good night, may your dreams be sweet.
51:35Good night.
51:52Vicky, don't let it burn.
52:02Welcome.
52:04Lady Carlotta already notified us of your arrival.
52:07We are prepared to check you in whenever you're ready.
52:11Understood.
52:12We will be ready for you when you return.
