00:17You there, Appster?
00:22What's up?
00:24It's taking longer for Abby to react.
00:29Hey, there's nothing to worry about.
00:32I'm just a little beat, that's all.
00:36Oh, earlier, when I was half asleep, I came up with this great idea for finding the Sentinel.
00:42Let's hear it.
00:44Didn't the Sentinels say they're locked up in some kind of tower in the sky?
00:48Well, how about I just fly up there and look for it?
00:53Easy as pie.
00:55The tower is either too far to see, or it's totally covered by clouds.
01:00Otherwise, we would have seen some sign of it on the ground, in the shape you're in.
01:05Are you sure you could fly that far?
01:08Hey, come on!
01:09It won't hurt to try.
01:11The cliff at Agla Town would be a perfect launch pad!
01:14There.
01:24What?
01:27What?
02:06Music itself holds no emotion.
02:09It's the heart that grants it meaning.
02:11So, dear listener, tell me, what feelings did my peace evoke in you?
02:31Wow. A very valuable insight. Thank you. That brings me closer to completing my peace.
02:42Salutations, Rover. My name is Dracona, a wandering bard. I'm glad to have met you.
02:53I was sent by Lady Carlotta to find you. As I passed that abandoned house, I suddenly felt this, well,
03:00you know, rush of inspiration that just can't be ignored.
03:04So I stopped to compose a piece.
03:09Surprise, surprise, the melody led me right to you.
03:15Well, I suppose this won't count as me getting distracted, right?
03:22If Carlotta asked you to find me, has something happened?
03:28Lady Carlotta told me you encountered the supposed martyred maiden, Cartithea.
03:35She dispatched search teams soon after, but there's been no sign of Cartithea since.
03:44That's why she asked me to use my forte to recreate the frequency you experienced at the time.
03:49To see if any details you might have missed become clearer.
03:54Recreate the frequency?
03:57Well, it's a little tricky to explain in words.
04:00Think of it like being in an immersive portrait.
04:04Can you tell me about your meeting with Cartithea?
04:08The more details, the better.
04:10Even the smallest things count.
04:29Let's see here.
04:31Tweak a few notes here.
04:33Some emotions there.
04:36Textures.
04:38That should do it.
05:09Now then,
05:09Rover,
05:11Time for you to tune in to your memories.
05:15Back row in塵 first page.
05:34L evision.
05:36Okay.
05:44Everything we really care about it,
05:50Tune in to my memories.
05:53Does that mean I'm supposed to see the past from another perspective?
06:04Laureate.
06:22Our tacit marks are glowing again. It appears there is a special connection between them.
06:36What is the meaning of this?
06:40Someone used their resonance ability to help me relive this moment.
06:45But this seems... unexpected.
06:50How did you first come to notice me?
06:54The Sentinel. Imperator's voice guided me to you.
06:59You heard the Sentinel's voice? Then tell me, am I their resonator?
07:12Well, Imperator called you the Lost, and Primus Fenrico claims you are the resonator for Leviathan, the Thranodian.
07:26But you really don't have any idea?
07:37I... I've actually been searching for the answer to this question, too.
07:44My memories are... fragmented.
07:47I remember becoming a resonator.
07:50And the moment I was given the name Fleur Delise.
08:00I also remember fighting... something.
08:05But the details and the outcome of that battle are lost to me.
08:10You seem deeply concerned about the Sentinel.
08:14Tell me, why is that?
08:23You rang?
08:30Whoa! Check it out!
08:33Our frequencies got split apart!
08:48Basically, we're sort of in that hover mode you once joked about.
08:53Nothing new to me, though.
08:57This must be the frequency that's entangled within you.
09:01Is it some kind of echo?
09:11Yes.
09:12I'm experiencing a similar kind of frequency split.
09:16No, there is little that remains of my resonance powers.
09:22I feel its frequency weakening.
09:25I understand why you're eager to find the Sentinel.
09:30You said you heard the Sentinel's voice.
09:33Was there anything else they said?
09:36They spoke of being ensnared in an inverted tower suspended in the sky.
09:52I'm sure you've noticed that I was drawn here only as a frequency.
09:59My true form currently resides inside an inverted sonorosphere suspended high in the sky.
10:06At its center stands a tower, its gate locked by three seals.
10:13I've sensed a voice calling out to me from behind them.
10:16Could it be the Sentinel?
10:21Say, it's really faint so I barely noticed earlier.
10:25Is that a...
10:26Threnodean smell I'm getting from ya?
10:33The scent of a Threnodean.
10:36You can perceive the Threnodean.
10:42It's not an exact one-to-one with that big Ova Thraxula meatball I had.
10:48But I'd never mix up a flavor I've already tasted.
10:54Abby has a nose for these sort of things.
10:57We came across Threnodean powers before in Jinjo.
11:01So, it's safe to say Abby can be trusted.
11:06Do you think I'm the Threnodean's resonator?
11:11If we're making assumptions, let's err on the optimistic side first.
11:17Given your current situation,
11:20it is possible you were affected by the Threnodean's powers during your battle alongside Imperator.
11:31That could be the reason behind losing all your power, too.
11:38Hmm.
11:39I take it this theory would benefit you as well.
11:51After all,
11:53that unique Echo of yours needs the Sentinel's powers for treatment.
11:57Does it not?
11:59Even in adventure tales,
12:01it's not always the witch who loses her memory.
12:04It could also be a blessed maiden,
12:07trying to regain her powers.
12:09Hmm.
12:10In that case,
12:11it appears we share the same goal of finding the Sentinel.
12:22Spending so much time alone in the Sonorosphere
12:25gave me plenty of time to consider company.
12:31I've braced myself for whatever may come
12:33until I find the answers I'm seeking.
12:38I want to know what's going on with Imperator in that tower.
12:42And I want to speak with you in person.
12:45How can I reach your Sonorosphere?
12:49A part of the Sonorosphere is actually on land,
12:53though its outer perimeter is surrounded by a barrier.
12:57I cannot leave,
12:59and no one can enter.
13:06I'm afraid that won't do.
13:08That barrier also acts as the power source
13:11that maintains the Sonorosphere's integrity.
13:14If it's destroyed,
13:15the entire sphere will collapse.
13:19And the ruins,
13:20along with the tacit discorted houses,
13:22would come crashing down on Raguna.
13:25It would be catastrophic.
13:28You said no one can get in.
13:31Has anyone tried?
13:35Yes.
13:37I've occasionally sensed someone wandering outside the barrier,
13:41as if searching for a way inside.
13:45Perhaps they know something.
13:49Any distinguishing features?
13:53Um,
13:54almost
13:55like
13:56a deep-sea jellyfish.
14:10I...
14:11I wasn't able to get a clear look.
14:14I can only describe the feeling I got from her as a resonator.
14:30It would seem this resonance ability
14:32can only last for so long.
14:35I'll look for a way to find this person you mentioned.
14:40Hmph.
14:42Something tells me you will keep your promise.
14:46No matter the outcome,
14:48this may be my chance to find the answers I've been looking for.
14:59Mova?
15:00Mova?
15:02Mova?
15:03Oh, thank goodness.
15:05You're finally awake.
15:08How are you feeling?
15:10Any
15:10headache?
15:11Tingling feet?
15:12Upset stomach?
15:12What?
15:19Phew.
15:21I tried everything,
15:22but you just wouldn't wake up.
15:23I thought you were...
15:28Wait a second.
15:29Did you
15:30actually fall asleep
15:31listening to my music?
15:33Oh.
15:35It
15:35kind of
15:36breaks my heart
15:37to know you reacted like that when it wasn't even a lullaby no it was really
15:44helpful helpful for your sleeping troubles hmm
16:03wow so my forte created a special connection that led to some unexpected developments
16:11the girl is she friend or foe what truths lie behind the seal and who is that mysterious
16:18wandering figure oh i have a feeling this is going to be a very exciting song
16:46i'll pass this information on to lady carlotta
16:50so what do you plan to do next
17:02pardon the intrusion my lord
17:08my name is sebastian as per milady's instructions i have been entrusted with the honor of inviting
17:15you to the phasalia estate for a discussion
17:20the phasalia family the one that's likely worshiping the threnodian
17:27why does she want to talk with me
17:32milady has expressed a desire to clear up some unfortunate misunderstandings that occurred previously
17:43tell her i accept the invitation but at a later time
17:54i will convey your message to milady
18:06didn't expect the head of the phasalia family to come looking for you
18:10especially while they're still in the middle of negotiations with lady carlotta
18:17she's just as unpredictable as the rumors say
18:22i suppose you would want to know more about her before taking up her invitation hmm
18:28she's known to be a recluse and rarely makes public appearances
18:33no one outside the family even knows her real name
18:36they just call her the head of the phasalia family
18:41i've heard quite a few rumors which one would you like to hear first
18:46i have shadow of the ancient lady bane or maybe entangler of hearts
19:01hello that's why they're called rumors
19:04i'm just doing my due diligence by being faithful to the source material
19:10so ready to dive right in
19:21well long story short the phasalia family was one of the first to set foot on these islands
19:28and establish order in renicida their lineage even predates the order of the deep
19:35and their craft of extracting toxins from aquatic plants is a legacy passed down through generations
19:43word is they select the new head of household by having candidates ingest each other's poisons
19:50and wait to see who's still breathing when it's all over
19:55stories about the current head of the phasalia's get even wilder
19:59they say she didn't go through the usual selection process
20:03instead she took the throne by poisoning her predecessor
20:10others say she's a master in the art of manipulation drowning her victims in hallucinations
20:17until they agree to her terms without even realizing it
20:32in any case the phasalia family aside she's someone you definitely want to handle with care
20:41if you're set on meeting her i'd be extra careful if i were you
20:48the way she describes the head of phasalia reminds me of how cartacea spoke about the wandering figure
20:55by the barrier i can't rule out the possibility that they're the same person looks like i'll need to pay
21:03to pay her a visit
21:05so
21:05so
21:19so
21:21Oh, my God.
22:17Oh, my God.
22:19At your disposal.
22:21Oh, my God.
22:51They invited you and you alone.
22:54As a Montelli, I'm in no position to intervene.
22:58That being said, if the Phaselios try anything against you, I'll get you out.
23:03Even if it means storming through their front gates.
23:06In the meantime, I'll keep looking for more information than the person Cartathia mentioned to you.
23:12I'll call you as soon as I find anything.
23:16Got it.
23:36Now, if you'll please, just follow me.
24:06I'll see you next time.
24:07I'll see you next time.
24:17One moment, please.
24:19I shall inform milady of your arrival.
24:22That won't be necessary.
24:30To keep our honored guest waiting would be most improper.
24:35Especially when it was I who extended the invitation.
24:53Cantarella Vesalia, 36th matriarch of the Vesalia family.
24:59I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.
25:03Honorable laureate, the new crown of the carnaval.
25:14The laurel is a gift of the divinity.
25:18What claim have I to crown one as distinguished as yourself?
25:29I should be the one to apologize for not understanding our guest's attempt at lightening the mood.
25:39Very well.
25:41You may also call me Cantarella.
25:47Now, shall we proceed to my study?
25:50How shall we proceed?
26:11What shall we do?
26:15What shall we do?
27:08Won't you have a seat?
27:18I hope you'll accept this tea as my way of apologizing for the incident with Gilberto.
27:28Members of the family may have troubled you, but there is no stain that can't be washed
27:34away.
27:35Every sorrow has its own way of fading, don't you think?
27:42You still hold a grudge.
27:44Hmm.
27:46Won't you accept my apology?
28:07I see.
28:09Let's set aside such past unpleasantness for the time being.
28:17I invited you here to ask that you might serve as a mediator.
28:24Before we get into that, there's something I want to know.
28:28I imagine it concerns the Vesalia family's true beliefs.
28:37It would seem Gilberto's mind is beyond saving.
28:43But let's not dwell on that.
28:45What is your opinion on the current state of Raguna?
28:55So you've noticed something is amiss?
28:58As expected from someone who's felt the weight of a Thranodian invasion first-hand.
29:05And what exactly do you find most unsettling?
29:09Why haven't the Thranodian and the Sentinel ever shown themselves?
29:15Because the Thranodian's invasion of Raguna has long since concluded.
29:24The Thranodian, so named Leviathan, possesses the power to merge and assimilate.
29:31It uses distorted beliefs to spread a spiritual plague that slowly devours civilizations from within.
29:41Though the previous two attempts were thwarted, the tall mast of the galleon that is Raguna has already been snapped
29:49in half.
29:51Now the blissfully ignorant masses walk hand in hand toward an abyss they cannot see.
30:02Friend or foe, as a newcomer to this land, can you really tell them apart?
30:26Yes. And no. On one hand there's the truth of the order's beliefs. On the other there's our family.
30:39The Thranodian doesn't take kindly to those who know the truth.
30:43We've always been under its whispers.
30:48Once the soul fractures, the mind will follow until only a puppet remains.
30:55Now that we've come this far, there's nothing for me to hide.
31:02My only hope is that once you learn everything, you will carefully consider my request.
31:12Come, the truth you seek lies in the deepest part of the castle.
31:28It's thick with dust.
31:30Hard to believe they're truly worshipping it.
31:35Curious about that statue.
31:37It represents the unbroken friendship between the Thesalius and the Order.
31:43But in the eyes of outsiders, it is more a symbol of defeat and submission.
31:55The aroma from these plants.
31:57It's the same scent that was in the study.
32:01These are violacas.
32:04They produce a unique fragrance, wouldn't you say?
32:09Violacas are a vital ingredient.
32:11This is it.
32:21Are you prepared?
32:24Yes.
32:27Now that we're here, I'm afraid I can't let you leave.
32:32Even if you want to.
32:43What do you mean?
32:46What?
32:48What?
32:52What?
32:55What is it that is?
33:19Just as I expected, the Thranodian took notice of you the moment you learned the truth.
33:28What you see in the Sanctuary is the Sentinel in their true form, a majestic steed that galloped
33:45with the wind, not a creature of the ocean's depths. The Order worships a half-horse, half-sea
33:53creature divinity, a form the Sentinel assumed only after being corrupted by the Thranodian.
34:00Although the Sentinel's will has yet to fade, who knows how much longer they can endure.
34:07I wish to ask you to persuade the Sentinel of Jinjo, Jue, to come to Riniceta to save Imperator.
34:24In return, I will agree to whatever condition or request you make.
34:49Piano music plays
35:01I understand the position you are in.
35:04Word has it that you're currently staying at a hotel and are at odds with the order.
35:13Perhaps a stay at my estate would suit you for the remainder of your time in Rinnecita.
35:19I can offer you a glimpse into Rinnecita's past, and you'd be spared the order's unwelcome attention.
35:30There might still be a path forward.
35:36Carlotta once helped me interpret some stained glass images.
35:40The story it told was very similar to what you've described, only more biased towards the order.
35:47It mentioned a maiden who would emerge as the sentinel's resonator, and later save Rinnecita.
35:56Do you think that's also a lie?
36:00Care to elaborate?
36:10The part regarding the maiden isn't entirely fiction.
36:15The sentinel does indeed appoint a maiden to be their resonator, though not in the way the Carnival would have
36:22you believe.
36:23No.
36:34That's because Imperator wields the power to split and manipulate space.
36:41With it, they can withdraw a portion of power.
36:45That power's frequency will match the Imperator's own.
36:50This is how the Sword of Divinity, Turvin, came to be.
36:55A blade sealed with the very powers of the sentinel, and the artifact used to select their resonator.
37:04To resonate with the sword is to resonate with the sentinel.
37:10Only the chosen one may hope to draw it.
37:15Then, what about Cardathea?
37:19The martyred maiden.
37:21The nature of her resonance is unclear to me.
37:26Perhaps she resonated with the Thranodian, or perhaps with the sentinel in its corrupted form.
37:34But choosing her could not have been the sentinel's will.
37:39That's because the maiden was already dead.
37:51In the past, each year the Vesalia family would hold the Divine Trials to select those with the strongest will.
38:00These young women would attempt to resonate with Turvin's powers.
38:05While overclocked, of course.
38:07Though none succeeded, some saw fragments of the truth hidden within the resonance.
38:16I was one of them.
38:18There was a moment where I glimpsed the sentinel's corrupted form, and the inverted ruin suspended in the sky.
38:27I also learned that only Turvin can break the barrier of that sonorosphere.
38:36When I awoke from that vision, I discovered a line of words inscribed onto my hand.
38:44I would never mistake my own handwriting.
38:48That is precisely why I'm searching for other possibilities.
38:52The words were...
38:55An inverted ruin suspended in the sky.
38:59Her and Cartithea's descriptions bear many similarities.
39:05If Turvin is the key to entering the sonorosphere,
39:08it stands to reason that Imperator may have played a role in the sphere's creation.
39:13If I can confirm that Turvin was truly left by Imperator,
39:17at least it would prove that neither are lying.
39:23Cantarella said she was overclocking when she tried resonating with Turvin.
39:28That's exactly what happened with Genshi.
39:31Could Imperator be trying to restore their power through a second awakening?
39:37If that's the case,
39:39my permission should cause a reaction.
39:42That's one way to confirm what they're saying.
39:51I suppose all that's left is its symbolic value.
39:56However, do handle it with care.
39:59It is a family heirloom.
40:02I've heard of your unique methods and formidable strength.
40:34I hope for her.
40:54Rover? Who are you, really?
41:04The Sentinel's Arbiter?
41:09Well, I have some information and theories of my own. Care to hear them?
41:15Please, enlighten me.
41:31I would never have imagined someone already considered a martyr could still be alive.
41:38What surprises me even more is the connection you have with the Sentinel.
41:45We Vesalias revere Imperator as our one true divinity.
41:50And yet, here you stand, the Arbiter of the Sentinel.
41:55Would it be more fitting to address you as Master?
42:05Then, I present my request once more.
42:10Are you willing to help rescue our Sentinel and pull Rinocita back from the brink of Chaos?
42:30Tervin can only serve its purpose while in your hands. You should have it.
42:37The only question now is how we reach Cartithea and Imperator's Sonorosphere.
42:43We can discuss it on the way.
42:47So you're the one that Cartithea sensed wandering outside the Sonorosphere?
42:52A question that you already know the answer to.
42:55Why bother asking?
42:58Although being described as a jellyfish.
43:06There is a cable car in the lower levels of the Vesalia estate that leads directly to the Sonorosphere.
43:13The mechanism beside that wall can activate the lifts.
43:18Are all these mechanisms really necessary?
43:22Convenience isn't the only reason for having them.
43:26Some were specifically built in case an outsider decided to visit.
43:48Why do the Vesalias have a cable car that leads directly to the Sonorosphere?
43:52Before it became a Sonorosphere, it was a seminary known as the Avonolium.
43:59The martyred maiden once pursued her studies there.
44:03A superficial harmony needed to be maintained between the Vesalias and the Order.
44:09And this underground cable car was intended to send scions of the family to school.
44:15The elevator is merely a later addition I had built for easy access.
44:40You seem perturbed.
44:42Are you still gathering your thoughts?
44:45Everything that's happened has all lined up so perfectly.
44:50It makes me think it's too good to be true.
44:53I'd like to share a different perspective.
44:58Rivers eventually converge into the same ocean.
45:02If a goal is mutual, then it's only a matter of time before they meet.
45:07Our choices and our will have led us to this situation.
45:12Not the wishes of fate.
45:15You are quite different from what the rumors say.
45:19Oh.
45:20And what rumors have you heard?
45:22That you're a recluse.
45:25That you're a recluse.
45:26A mystic.
45:27Obsessed with the crafting of poison.
45:30Oh, and that you poisoned your predecessor.
45:33Those kinds of rumors.
45:35A recluse.
45:38A recluse?
45:38On the contrary.
45:40I've been searching for a solution to the Sentinel's plight.
45:43And rarely returned to Rinnecita.
45:48After most of my leads fell short, a friend at Mingting in Huanglong introduced me to the stories they were
45:56telling of you.
45:58A friend?
46:01All the affairs of Huanglong's states eventually land in one person's hands.
46:07Would you care to take a guess at the identity of this friend of mine?
46:12Hmph.
46:13Why not put the other rumors to rest?
46:16Because the rest of them are all true.
46:22I see it'll take more than that to rattle you, huh?
46:26I assure you, this is no jest.
46:33We Thesalias have lived under the Thranodians' whispers for generations.
46:39Once the soul fractures, the mind will follow until only a puppet remains.
46:46When the soul of the ruling head falters, Thesalia tradition dictates that the successor
46:53usher them into eternal slumber with a poison of their own making.
47:00My succession ritual?
47:02Well, an unforeseen incident gave rise to whispers that sparked those rumors.
47:10How long has this been going on?
47:14For centuries.
47:16Every generation.
47:20For centuries.
47:28Outside, they call me the Bane.
47:31But historically, every head of the Thesalia family has carried such a title.
47:36It just so happens that I am the most potent one yet.
47:53We've reached the old seminary's undercrypt.
47:57The gateway into the Sonorosphere itself lies at its center.
48:01We shall continue on foot from here.
48:21It is true, however.
48:36Hmm, strange. This area was clear of tacit discords in my last visit, and there's no tacit field nearby. Could
48:49they have come to Miss Amara's sleep, Sam?
49:03I didn't think there would be goldpuffs here.
49:09Interesting. I've never seen such little creatures before. Would you mind smiling for me?
49:16I'd better not ask what she plans to do with them.
49:25The road ahead will not be an easy one.
49:29What exactly happened here?
49:33The second dark tide. It occurred right here at the Avonoleum, the largest seminary ever built by the Order.
49:42It arrived on the very day the Blessed Maiden passed her trials and was crowned by the Order.
49:48A day when belief burned brighter than ever. And when the darkness came.
49:55Now the spirit. These days what most people remember is the seminary disappearing into the sky.
50:04But in truth, the dark tide that should have spread across the Unicita vanished from the river.
50:12Yet due to a lack of records the second dark tide slowly faded from memory.
50:18I was there when it all happened. Still an ordinary member of the family, watching it unfold from a boat
50:25just outside the seminary.
50:27It wasn't until later, when I attempted to resonate with Turvin, that I gained a partial glimpse of the Sonorosphere's
50:37interior.
50:38It sounds like someone inside the seminary did something to stop the spread.
50:43Precisely. It could very well have been Kartithia's doing.
50:47But, as with the first time, there's also the chance it was the sentinel who turned the tide.
50:56I can sense the conflict within you. The temptation to trust your maiden.
51:02But it's best to keep those thoughts to yourself for now.
51:07But the Thranodian knows where the heart is weakest. And it is there it strikes the hardest.
51:20Of course, it's never too late to place your trust when the evidence is clear.
51:27But, now is not the time, is it?
51:45The gateway into the Sonorosphere is just on the other side of this bridge.
51:50This is the furthest I've ever managed to venture.
51:55Judging from the bits of information the sentinel gave me, Turvin is the key to entering the Sonorosphere.
52:03And who can wield the Sword of Divinity but a Blessed Maiden?
52:08But you said you left yourself a message saying that the Maiden was dead.
52:13That's why I sought aid from the other sentinels.
52:18It's a shame they all refused.
52:22Luckily, you've brought me a new hope.
52:37I think I might want to know.
52:38Obamacate.
52:39But I'm definitely terrified of the Holy Spirit.
52:40I'm sorry.
