Gameplay Notes[]
- From steps 1 to 8, the player will be in a Special Story Mode.
- If the player leaves this mode, they will be teleported to the main overworld in front of a rift at the crossroads between Vimara Village, Gandharva Ville, and Sumeru City. Entering the rift will resume the special story mode from the most recent step, and the player will spawn near the objective. During the Special Story Mode, the sky will be set to sunset and will not change regardless of the time spent.
- The Paimon Menu button is replaced with an exit button (as in Domains) which displays a notice when used:
- Hint: You are currently in a special story mode. You will be able to continue it even if you leave. Do you wish to leave?
- Most other menus are also not accessible through the UI, hotkeys, or Shortcut Wheel, including the Party Setup, Map, Time, and Settings menus.
- The minimap:
- Displays a temporary red world border.
- When approaching the border, Paimon will prevent the player from going further while saying a unique voice line.
- Will always be lit up, regardless of whether or not the player has unlocked the Statue of The Seven.[verification needed]
- Does not show the map icons for Teleport Waypoints or Waverider Waypoints, as they are not present in the special story mode world.
- Does not show the player's map pins, even if they have some set in the bounded area on the normal map.
- Displays a temporary red world border.
- This mode has its own set of collectible items (Harra Fruit, Zaytun Peaches) and wildlife, independent of those found in the main overworld. Some entities are only found in either the special story mode or the main overworld, while others are present in both.
- Collecting items or killing wildlife in one will not affect the presence of any entities in the other.
- Wildlife do not drop anything other than their normal amount of energy particles and orbs.
- Wildlife respawn when the special story mode is re-entered. No items respawn.
- Hitting trees will not yield wood.
- Enemies typically found near Vimara Village (Fungi, Rishboland Tigers, etc.) are removed in this mode.
- Teleport Waypoints, Waverider Waypoints, Four-Leaf Sigils, and Fishing Points are removed in this mode.
- If the player's party falls, they will respawn at the beginning of the area (near the Hilichurls).
- Most gadgets cannot be used. Gadgets that can be used include: Wind Catcher, NRE (Menu 30), Memento Lens, Peculiar Pinion, Red Feather Fan, Windblume Festival Commemorative Balloon, Jumpy Dumpty Party Popper, Adepti Seeker's Stove, Warming Bottle, "Special Analysis Zoom Lens," most "equipment" gadgets, and gadgets that are not located in the "Gadgets" tab of the Inventory, such as the Aranyaka gadget and Case Records.
- When attempting to use the Dendro Treasure Compass, it will state that the player is "not currently in Sumeru."
- Although the Seed Dispensary cannot be "used," its contents can still be viewed (which is what "using" the Seed Dispensary does) from the Inventory screen. Additionally, having the Seed Dispensary equipped will still allow the player to obtain seeds as usual.
- Most Vimara Village NPCs have their standard dialogue when spoken to, and can be targeted by Nahida's All Schemes to Know.
- At step 4, Amadhiah changes to his quest-exclusive dialogue and loses his All Schemes to Know dialogue.
- As the Time menu is inaccessible, the time of day cannot be changed until the story advances.
- During step 10, the active party will be limited to the Traveler.
- The player cannot sprint, jump, climb, attack, or access menus.
- If the player leaves this domain, they will be teleported to the main overworld in front of a rift at Atossa's tree, and the active quest step will change to "Enter the realm of consciousness".
- Completing step 9 grants the Wonders of the World achievement The Proof of Existence.
- Completing the quest grants the Wonders of the World achievement Bedtime Story.
Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionAs Dainsleif guessed, the "false memories" are a trap laid by the Abyss Order. The Ley Lines are disturbed again. Something is probably underway once more...
- (Continues from previous quest)
- Paimon: The Abyss Order's on the move... The Ley Lines are all out of whack...
- Paimon: We better hurry back to Vimara Village and see what's going on!
- (Attempt to go Out of Bounds)
- Paimon: Where are you going? We still haven't finished what Dain asked us to do!
- (Approach the Hilichurls)
- Paimon: Hey, look at those Hilichurls over there...
They seem strangely... calm?- Paimon: Weren't they acting super agitated just a little while ago? Why are they so calm all of a sudden?
- (TravelerTraveler): (Wait... I hear something...)
- ...In the new world, they bade farewell to the shrouded sun.
At last, they no longer needed to dwell on their suffering, or try to differentiate between various thoughts of blasphemy.
Such was the price they paid, and thus their souls became cleansed and pure. - Paimon: ...Did you hear that? What was that sound just now...?
- You heard it too, Paimon?
It was someone's voice...- Paimon: It sounded so gentle. Could that voice be... comforting the Hilichurls in some way?
- Paimon: This is weird... Let's check if this is happening anywhere else.
- (Approach the next group of Hilichurls)
- Paimon: Looks like the same thing is happening over here too. The Hilichurls are calm...
- ...You see? We're both still here.
We've reclaimed an endless amount of time to love.
Release your tears. You no longer need to hold back your sorrow. - (TravelerTraveler): (It's that voice again...)
- (Approach the next group of Hilichurls)
- Paimon: Over there! It looks like they're sleeping...
- ...In the end, he whispered softly,
"Sleep well, Father. Sleep well, my beloved people."
"When you awake, that which differentiates us shall be no more." - Paimon: ...It almost sounds like a poem, or some kind of story.
- Paimon: Well, now that the Hilichurls have calmed down, Vimara Village should be safe at least.
- Paimon: Let's put this situation to the side for now. Dain said this might be our chance to find the missing villager, so we should head back to Vimara Village before it's too late.
- (Talk to Amadhiah)
- Paimon: Grandpa Amadhiah, is everyone alright? The Abyss Order seems to be up to something nearby...
- Amadhiah: The Abyss Order? This is the first I'm hearing of it...
- Amadhiah: Thank you for your concern, but as far as I'm aware, it's been business as usual here in the village.
- Paimon: Well, that's good to hear.
- Paimon: Oh! Also... You didn't happen to come across any clues about the missing villager while we were gone, did you?
- Amadhiah: Huh? Someone's gone missing, you say? Who would that be?
- Paimon: Huh...?
- You don't remember?
- Things just got even more complicated.
- Paimon: You know... The young guy from Vimara Village... The one you've been looking for all this time. You posted a commission with the Sumeru Adventurers' Guild...
- Paimon: That's kind of the whole reason we're here, actually... Your missing person's commission.
- Amadhiah: Ah, I do apologize, you two... I hope I'm not worrying you too much. I'm sure it's just my age making me forgetful again...
- Amadhiah: At least right now, I can't seem to recall whatever it is you're referring to... Perhaps you should try asking someone else?
- Paimon: But, how is that... *sigh* Alright. Thanks for your help, Grandpa Amadhiah.
- (The Traveler and Paimon leave)
- Paimon: Something's definitely not right. We just talked to Grandpa Amadhiah about the missing villager. There's no way he could've forgotten all about him just like that...
- Paimon: What do you think, (TravelerTraveler)? Could everyone's memories of the missing villager have been erased again?
- It's too early to say.
- We should check in with the others first.
- Paimon: You're right. We should narrow down the possibilities first... Let's go ask someone else, then!
- (Talk to Amadhiah again, optional)
- Amadhiah: A missing villager... Did I really forget something so important? As the chief, I can't afford to be so negligent.
- (Talk to Bahram)
- Bahram: Someone's gone missing? Who?
- Paimon: *sigh*... Just as expected...
- Paimon: Um, that guy you said a bunch of nice things about earlier? The one you always used to chat with...
- Paimon: He's around twenty years old... You said he was a kind, warm-hearted sort of person...
- Bahram: Oh! I know who you're talking about...
- Paimon: Really? You remember?
- Bahram: There aren't many young people who've earned that kind of praise from me. If you're certain that's what I said...
- Bahram: Then, there's only person who fits the bill — no doubt about it... But, why'd you say he's gone missing?
- Have you seen him recently?
- Do you know where he went?
- Bahram: Yeah! I just saw him leave the village. There was someone else with him too. They couldn't have gone far.
- (The Traveler and Paimon leave)
- Paimon: Strange... Bahram seems to remember him... And, apparently, he just saw him?
- Paimon: Do you think maybe... It's not that there's something wrong with people's memories, but that we've somehow returned to a time before he went missing?
- (TravelerTraveler): (I doubt returning to the past would be that simple.)
- (TravelerTraveler): (Given everything Dain mentioned about disturbances with the Ley Lines, I'd say it's far more likely this is related to memories in some way...)
- (TravelerTraveler): (I need to think carefully... What's really going on...?)
- (The Traveler enters Contemplation)
- (What's really going on...?)
- (Interpret — People have forgotten about the missing person)
- (TravelerTraveler): Just like what happened with Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, no one remembers him, because there's been a change in people's memories.
- (Interpret — We've returned to a point before the disappearance took place)
- (TravelerTraveler): If we really did travel back to a time before he disappeared, that could explain why the villagers said he hadn't gone missing.
- (Interpret — We are presently traversing someone's memories)
- (TravelerTraveler): If this person only exists in people's memories... Maybe we're in someone's memory right now...
- (Submit the wrong conclusion — People have forgotten about the missing person)
- (TravelerTraveler): No... Bahram still remembers him. He just forgot about the fact that this person went missing.
- (Submit the wrong conclusion — We've returned to a point before the disappearance took place)
- (TravelerTraveler): Time travel is extremely difficult to perform. The current situation probably has something to do with the disturbances in the Ley Lines...
- (Submit conclusion — We are presently traversing someone's memories)
- Paimon: Right! Paimon totally forgot about the Ley Line disturbances. We're in someone else's memory...
- Paimon: Just like how you entered your sibling's memory last time!
- Paimon: That would also explain why we seem to be at a time before he went missing... It's a memory, after all.
- If we really are in someone's memory...
- Then this is our chance to find him.
- Paimon: Right! If he's someone who only exists in people's memories, then we're finally on the same turf!
- Paimon: But, didn't Bahram just say he saw him leave the village with someone? Where should we go look for him...
- Paimon: Who knows how long this Ley Line disturbance is gonna last... We might not have that much time. And we don't even know whose memory this is...
- Let's go through what we know so far...
- Paimon: Good idea! That'll help us narrow things down.
- Paimon: We pretty much figured out that the missing villager has the ability to...
- Implant memories into the minds of others.
- Paimon: Right, that! Could we try to figure out a bit more about him using what we know of his ability?
- Paimon: Like, does it maybe leave a trace that would somehow give him away?
- (TravelerTraveler): (Hmm... Implanting memories into the minds of others must be an imperfect process. There's no way the new memories could perfectly blend in with the old ones. There has to be some kind of tell...)
- (The Traveler enters Contemplation)
- The weakness in the missing person's ability is...?
- (Interpret — Scenes from false memories will not change)
- (TravelerTraveler): All the memories seem to be set in or near Vimara Village, but I'm still not sure if they're restricted to this location.
- (Interpret — Time does not pass within false memories)
- (TravelerTraveler): If time was allowed to pass within the false memories, there's a higher chance they might conflict with someone's original recollection. That would make it much harder to avoid suspicion.
- (Interpret — False memories are easily forgotten)
- (TravelerTraveler): There's a difference between memories that arise from lived experiences and those that are implanted into the mind. Perhaps it has something to do with time.
- (Submit the wrong conclusion — Scenes from false memories will not change)
- (TravelerTraveler): No... Based on what we know so far, there isn't any evidence to support that conclusion.
- (Submit the wrong conclusion — False memories are easily forgotten)
- (TravelerTraveler): Maybe not... We don't have any way to prove whether certain memories were simply forgotten, or never existed in the first place.
- (Submit conclusion — Time does not pass within false memories)
- Paimon: No wonder! All this time, and the sky hasn't changed a bit. That must mean... Time isn't passing!
- Paimon: That's the tell of the fake memories!
- Paimon: The implanted memories are basically taking place outside the regular twenty-four hours of the day.
- Paimon: If the memories included the regular passage of time, it would be easy for people to tell that something was off.
- Paimon: Like, there could be overlap or something... People might start to wonder why they remember doing two different things at the same time of day.
- Paimon: That's why he makes sure the memories take place at a specific moment in time, rather than over a period of time.
- (TravelerTraveler): (If we consider this in conjunction with what we already know, then the question of whose memory this is... seems to have an obvious answer...)
- (The Traveler enters Contemplation)
- In whose memory is this place?
- (Interpret — Atossa)
- (TravelerTraveler): The color of the sky... coincides with the moment in time she described.
- (Interpret — Dainsleif)
- (TravelerTraveler): Dainsleif had memories implanted into his mind... Could it be that it's happened more than once?
- (Interpret — Amadhiah)
- (TravelerTraveler): We thought Chief Amadhiah forgot about the missing villager, but it turns out we're at a moment in time before the village issued the commission.
- (Submit the wrong conclusion)
- (TravelerTraveler): No... That doesn't seem right... I need to think about this some more.
- (Submit conclusion — Atossa)
- Paimon: Oh, right! That's exactly what Atossa described!
- (A flashback begins)
- Atossa: Come to think of it, every time we talked, it always seemed to be around dusk, just like right now.
- Atossa: Time always passed by really slowly. Even when it felt like we'd been talking for hours, the sun would still be at the same position in the sky...
- (Flashback ends)
- Paimon: Yep, that has to be it! This is definitely Atossa's memory!
- Let's go.
- To the tree.
- Paimon: Yeah! That's where they'll be!
- (Approach Atossa)
- Atossa: ...So, you see, Granny Jehiet was a mercenary when she was younger. She just talks like that out of habit. She's not trying to scare the children on purpose, hehe...
- Atossa: Oh, there I go again... always talking about my own things. Do you, maybe, have anything you want to share?
- Atossa: Um... It's okay if you don't. You could also just... Talk about what you think of me?
- ???: Oh, I... I think you're an incredibly strong and thoughtful young woman.
- ???: You'll meet many amazing people and live a very happy life... You won't miss someone like me...
- Atossa: Huh...? Are those your friends over there?
- (TravelerTraveler): (We finally found him. But why does he look kind of familiar...?)
- Paimon: Oh, right. This version of Atossa hasn't met us yet...
- ???: Friends? I guess you could say that. It must have taken them a lot of effort to find me...
- ???: So... I should see what they need. I'm sorry, Atossa. We'll have to continue this conversation another time.
- Atossa: Another time, huh... Um, yeah! Okay! I'll head back to the village, then. Talk to you... some other time!
- ???: It's nice to see you, (TravelerTraveler). I believe this is the first time we've met.
- You're...
- (TravelerTraveler): (Factoring in the memories, the Abyss Order, the Loom of Fate, and everything else, I need to think of the one person that can connect all of this together...)
- (The Traveler enters Contemplation)
- The true identity of the "missing person" is—
- (Interpret — Chlothar Alberich)
- (TravelerTraveler): The founder of the Abyss Order, the man who broke the curse of immortality.
- (Interpret — Caribert Alberich)
- (TravelerTraveler): "Born into abject sorrow, he shall now become the Loom of Fate."
- (Interpret — "The Visionary" Vedrfolnir)
- (TravelerTraveler): Dain's brother, one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah, the one who stole the power of the Abyss.
- (Submit the wrong conclusion)
- (TravelerTraveler): No... That doesn't seem right... I need to think about this some more.
- (Submit conclusion — Caribert Alberich)
- (TravelerTraveler): You're... Caribert Alberich.
- Caribert: Oh... You know me? That's quite the surprise. I don't believe I've met you before...
- Caribert: Ah, I see. It was the memory, wasn't it? Your sibling's memory. You saw... the me from back then.
- Caribert: This is Atossa's memory. I came here to say goodbye to her...
- Caribert: But, I suppose I'll just leave her a message instead. Come, let's find somewhere else to talk...
![[Note 1]](/wiki/File:World-Order_Narration_Caribert_Note_to_Atossa.png "World-Order Narration Caribert Note to Atossa.png (559 KB)")
- (Talk to Caribert)
- Caribert: *panting*
- What is this place?
- Caribert: I suppose you could call it the realm of my consciousness. I'm someone who no longer exists in the real world, after all... as you well know.
- You look quite exhausted.
- Caribert: Ah, it's nothing. I still have enough strength to play the part of a good host. I've always hoped that I'd get the chance to talk to you like this, and now, the time has finally arrived.
- (TravelerTraveler): (This is a rare opportunity for me as well. I should try to learn as much information from Caribert as I can.)
- What exactly happened to you?
- What exactly is the Loom of Fate?
- Caribert: Extreme sorrow and pain... Hope and regret coursing through your veins... and a degree of Abyssal power that defies comprehension...
- Caribert: Father told me that once I possessed all those elements, I would become the Loom of Fate.
- Caribert: But, despite his intentions for me, I never truly became the Loom of Fate. I was merely used as a means for its "construction"...
- Caribert: In truth, I died the moment I set everything in motion.
- Caribert: The "person" you see before you now is nothing but a remnant of consciousness leftover within the Loom of Fate.
- (TravelerTraveler): (Caribert is dead... That's why he no longer exists outside of people's memories.)
- Caribert: As for your question... The Loom of Fate is a device capable of weaving Ley Lines.
- Weaving... Ley Lines?
- Caribert: In its primitive form, it can only be used to create and implant memories. But, as more of it is completed, its power becomes stronger and stronger... Until finally, it has the power to weave real Ley Lines of its own.
- Caribert: Once fully completed, the moment it gains the power to weave Ley Lines, it loses the lower-level ability to influence memories...
- Caribert: ...But it also becomes a tool that can change the entire world.
- So that was the source of your ability to implant memories?
- Caribert: Yes. I have the ability to control the Loom in its semi-completed form. I suppose you could think of it as a form of compensation...
- Caribert: ...After all, its existence cost me my life.
- (TravelerTraveler): (So the memories that suddenly appeared in Dain's mind were implanted by Caribert through the half-finished Loom of Fate...)
- (TravelerTraveler): (That makes sense... But, I'm still lost as to why he went so far as to "introduce" himself to all the residents of Vimara Village...)
- But why did you implant memories of yourself...
- Into the people of Vimara Village?
- Caribert: Ah, that... I was wrong to implant those memories. I'm sorry I caused so much trouble, not only for everyone in the village, but for you as well.
- Caribert: I just... wanted them to feel like I once existed in this world...
- Caribert: As if... I had a chance at life.
- (TravelerTraveler): (So that's why... I would have never guessed.)
- (TravelerTraveler): (But... is there any kind of meaning to this?)
- (TravelerTraveler): (Does only existing in people's memories really count as living?)
- Caribert: ...Heh, I know what you must be thinking...
- Caribert: Why would I do something so meaningless...
- Caribert: ...
- Caribert: But I just... I just couldn't accept it.
- Caribert: I had to know what it would be like if I had my own life — what kind of person I would be, what other people would think of me...
- Caribert: Chief Amadhiah, Bahram, Granny Jehiet... Atossa...
- Caribert: What would it be like if I could live alongside them — no cataclysm, no curse, just a quiet life in a peaceful village.
- Caribert: I was curious, so I selfishly... tried to have my own life.
- Caribert: Even if... Even if that meant piecing together the version of myself that could have been... one memory at a time.
- Caribert: I know it sounds stupid, hehe...
- Caribert: After all... my life ended a long time ago.
- ...
- Caribert: Any chance at living was stripped away from me when I was eight years old, my consciousness left to mature in an illusory world of nothingness.
- Caribert: Even the form you see before you is nothing but an invention based on my father's appearance — an imagined version of what I would look like if I had had the chance to grow up.
- (TravelerTraveler): (...In the end, this all stems from the tragedy that occurred in Khaenri'ah back then...)
- You know...
- Everyone is looking for you.
- Caribert: I know... But, there's nothing I can do to make them find me.
- Caribert: If I could exist in the real world, I would return without a second thought and surprise them with the suddenness of it all. But, well... That's not possible for me.
- As I understand it...
- Even though you only appeared in their memories...
- Your existence was a great comfort to them.
- Caribert: ...
- They all believe you once lived among them.
- Caribert: I know.
- Well, now that I've found you, let's continue this conversation some other time.
- Dain might still need my help...
- Caribert: Captain Dainsleif, Twilight Sword, you mean? Ah, no need to meet up with him. Things should already be settled on his end.
- Settled?
- Caribert: Exactly. As someone who could only exist in people's memories, the fact that I'm able to talk to you in my consciousness like this can only mean one thing...
- Caribert: The Loom of Fate has already been completed.
- What!?
- (TravelerTraveler): (The Loom of Fate is already complete? That means the eye of the first Field Tiller must have fallen into the hands of the Abyss... Could something have happened to Dain?)
- Caribert: No need to worry about Captain Dainsleif. He's absolutely fine. The only reason he lost the eye was because I happened to guess exactly what he was planning.
- Caribert: Captain Dainsleif has had the eye inside his body this whole time, hasn't he?
- Caribert: His plan was to lure the Abyss Order to a false location, capitalizing on their pursuit of the eye in order to have the chance to confront the (princessprincess/
princeprince)... - Caribert: He would then hand the eye to you, and tell you to take it away from that location.
- Caribert: That way, Captain Dainsleif could accomplish his own goal and ensure the safety of the eye all at once — a very thorough plan.
- But...
- Dain never handed me the eye.
- Caribert: That's right. Because, in his mind... he had given it to you already.
- (TravelerTraveler): (Wait, does that mean he gave Dain a... false memory!?)
- You made him think that! When?
- Caribert: Before you two entered that false location...
- Dainsleif: (TravelerTraveler), wait...
- (TravelerTraveler): Hm?
- Dainsleif: ...
- Dainsleif: ...We've no time to lose. Let's head inside.
- (TravelerTraveler): (So when Dain froze up back then, it was because a false memory was being implanted in his mind... No wonder...)
- Caribert: That was when I implanted the memory of him handing you the eye.
- Caribert: Given the tense situation at that time, Captain Dainsleif failed to notice anything out of the ordinary and took that memory to be real.
- Caribert: ...I'm sorry, (TravelerTraveler), but I needed the Loom of Fate to be completed, and to do that, we had to retrieve the eye.
- (TravelerTraveler): (So, Dain had the eye this whole time... until the Abyss Order took it away. I'm not sure there's anything we could have done.)
- Now that the Loom of Fate is complete...
- What are you planning on doing with it?
- Caribert: I promise I'm not trying to conceal anything from you... But, I truly have no idea what the (princessprincess/
princeprince) is planning. - Caribert: Teyvat's Ley Line system is deeply entrenched in the planet. Creating new Ley Lines can neither "replace" nor "extend" the ones that already exist...
- Caribert: In the face of everything they could be planning, I fear I'm too insignificant to even get a glimpse of the bigger picture.
- Caribert: In any case, I had my own use for the Loom of Fate, and my goal, at least, has been achieved.
- Your goal?
- Caribert: You remember my father, don't you? Chlothar Alberich. I believe you saw him in your sibling's memory.
- Caribert: After he used the power of the Abyss to restore consciousness to my Hilichurl form, I suffered from an indescribable level of mental anguish.
- Caribert: To comfort me, my father told me a story... That this was a fairytale world, where I had to take on the form of a little monster...
- Caribert: That story managed to dispel my fears... even if just for a moment.
- Caribert: My goal was simple — to use the Loom of Fate in its near-completed form, when its ability to create memories was at its strongest...
- Caribert: To implant a specific memory into the minds of the Hilichurls.
- Caribert: In that memory, I would tell them a story... just like my father did for me. It was a story of fairy tales and love... But, more than anything, it was the story of us.
- (TravelerTraveler): (So the thing that caused the Hilichurls to calm down back then was Caribert's story...)
- (TravelerTraveler): (So that was his goal... That was the only thing he wanted.)
- (TravelerTraveler): (He had a device as powerful as the Loom of Fate at his disposal, and all he wanted to do with it was to offer the Hilichurls a moment of comfort and peace...)
- Caribert: I can't change the world, not when I lost the very right to exist within it. Implanting those memories... that was the most worthwhile thing I could offer.
- Perhaps.
- I think... It was very meaningful indeed.
- Caribert: All that's left of my existence is a wisp of residual consciousness tied to the Loom of Fate. In truth, that trace of my consciousness should have dissipated long ago... My goal was the one thing that allowed me to hold on all this time.
- Caribert: But now, the bedtime story... is finished, and it's finally time to rest.
- Cutscene's Travel Log summary:
- (A cinematic plays)
-
- (As soon as Caribert dissipates, the Traveler's Sibling enters the space)
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): ...Ah, looks like I was too late to see Caribert one last time
- (The Traveler reaches out to touch their sibling, but their hand passes right through)
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Caribert's consciousness is gone, and this space will soon disappear along with it
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Neither of us belongs here. That's why we are not tangible
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Were that not the case... I'd love to hug you too
- (Cinematic ends)
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Well... How about a conversation?
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): The chance to just stop and talk like this is certainly not easy to come by... Wouldn't you agree?
- Yeah.
- I almost can't believe it's real.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): That battle earlier was tough...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): The one against Dain, I mean.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): I didn't expect that after everything, he would still hesitate to raise his sword against me...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Were it not for that... Perhaps I'd still be no match for the Twilight Sword. Even after five hundred years.
- What exactly are you planning?
- What are you going to do with the Loom of Fate?
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): The Loom of Fate, huh... I still haven't found a way to utilize it to its full potential, but there's still time...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): ...Before the Heavenly Principles "awaken."
- The Heavenly Principles are still asleep?
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Yes, for five hundred years now, ever since the cataclysm in Khaenri'ah. There's been no sign of activity...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Not long ago, you witnessed the Hydro Archon destroy her divine throne, yes?
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Such a flagrant disregard for the "rules," and still Celestia took no action... I suppose that's proof enough of the Heavenly Principles' situation.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): However, the Heavenly Principles will awaken... We just don't know when that will be, or what might trigger it.
- You really hate the Heavenly Principles, don't you?
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): You could say that.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Just look at Caribert. He was so pure and single-minded... The space we now find ourselves is a perfect representation of who he was — quiet and peaceful.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Even as a Hilichurl, seeing the terrible sight within the mirror wasn't enough to taint his spirit.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): He brought comfort to the people of this world... even though he was denied the very right to be a part of it...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): So, ask yourself this... Who was it that deprived him of that right to exist?
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Of course, that's only one example. My feelings about the Heavenly Principles are too complicated to explain in just a few words...
- ...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): ...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): ...(AetherAether/
LumineLumine)? - (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): You're the only one in this world who calls me that. - (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): There's so much I wanted to ask you, but for some reason, I'm not interested in asking those questions right now. - (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): There's just one thing I have to ask, one thing I could never understand... - (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): Why... Why can't we continue our journey together? - (The camera briefly cuts to the carved statues of Atossa and Caribert)
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): ...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): At the end of my journey, I arrived at a place known as "The Sea of Flowers at the End."
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Do you remember? A long time ago, when we traveled between worlds together...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): You told me... You wanted to find a place in the universe where that one flower was in full bloom.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): To have a place like that suddenly appear before me...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Well, would you think of that as a coincidence?
- (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): You mean... - (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): I miss you too, (AetherAether/
LumineLumine). - (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): But as this war continues to rage, and as I continue to seek that final answer...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): I don't even know how to face myself sometimes... let alone my own (brotherbrother/
sistersister). - (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): ... - (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): What's going on? - (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): This space has lost its tether... I doubt it'll be able to exist much longer.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): In fact, aside from our inability to physically interact with each other, there's something else you should know about this space. With Caribert gone, we won't be able to remember anything that happened here...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Everything in this space will be wiped from existence... including all memory of our reunion.
- (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): You're only telling me this now... - (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): ...! - (AetherAether/
LumineLumine): ...!!! - (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): "..."
- Paimon: *yawn*... So sleepy. Paimon's head still feels all fuzzy...
- Paimon: Paimon woke up a little earlier than you, so Paimon will fill you in. The villagers said they saw us sleeping near the village yesterday. They couldn't wake us up no matter how hard they tried, so they decided to just bring us back here.
- Paimon: Oh, and Dain came by just now. It looked like he was injured...
- Paimon: He didn't say anything, though. Just made sure that you were alright and left... Kinda seemed like he had a lot on his mind... But, that's Dain for you...
- He never changes, does he?
- I'm having trouble thinking straight right now...
- Paimon: Hmm, let's think for a second. We were in that memory, and we saw that guy you called Caribert...
- Paimon: He was the missing villager we'd been trying to find, right? And after that... Paimon doesn't remember what happened...
- Caribert and I talked for a while...
- He told me about the Loom of Fate.
- Paimon: Wait, really? What a score!
- (TravelerTraveler): (I guess our commission is complete, then. The missing villager, the person who only existed in people's memories, was Caribert all along...)
- (TravelerTraveler): (But, now that he's gone, I'm not sure how to explain things to the villagers...)
- Paimon: Well... What happened after that?
- After that...
- Huh, I can't seem to remember...
- (TravelerTraveler): (Maybe I'm just tired? I feel like something else happened, but why can't I remember...?)
- (TravelerTraveler): (I'm not sure why... But, it almost feels like I lost something...)
- Bahram: Ah, there you are! Haha, sleep well?
- Paimon: Bahram? You sure seem happy. Did something good happen?
- Bahram: Something good? Hm... wasn't anything good or bad, I'd say.
- Bahram: It's just that, well... The village organized another search party yesterday. It didn't feel right to leave all the searching to the adventurers.
- Bahram: So there we were, searching away, when suddenly this one guy said it all came back to him...
- Bahram: According to him, one day around dusk, he was passing by this one tree outside the village, and he saw our missing villager.
- Bahram: There he was, sleeping under that tree all by himself. His parents came a little later to wake him up, and they all left together. They looked like quite a happy family, apparently.
- Bahram: And, after that, well... We all started to feel like that really is what happened... Kinda strange that we forgot all about it for so long...
- (TravelerTraveler): (So, that's how Caribert said his goodbyes... That was the last memory he gave them.)
- Bahram: Oh, and we also remembered his name — Caribert. Now, that's not a name you hear everyday. Would've been helpful if we remembered it sooner.
- That is a unique name.
- Make sure you remember it this time.
- Bahram: Well, I hope he's happy wherever he is. And we're all relieved now that we know what happened.
- Paimon: Seems like everyone thinks Caribert left the village. That's probably for the best... At least they have some sort of explanation now.
- Caribert is gone. The Loom of Fate is now complete...
- And no one else will try to change the villagers' memories.
- Paimon: Hmm, Paimon wonders how Atossa's doing. Maybe we should go check on her? If she hasn't "remembered" like everyone else, we can tell her what happened.
- Paimon: Paimon didn't see her in the village just now, so... She's probably at the tree! C'mon, let's go talk to her!
- (Approach Atossa)
- Atossa: ...
- Paimon: Hey, Atossa! How's it going?
- Atossa: Oh, it's you two. I was just about to go looking for you. I wanted to thank you.
- Atossa: I was part of the search party, so I... remember what happened to Caribert now.
- Atossa: Honestly... I just... can't believe I forgot something so important...
- Maybe he wanted you to forget him.
- Atossa: He always seemed to appear out of nowhere, and now... he left just as quickly...
- Atossa: If Caribert wants me to forget about the time we spent together, then I'm willing to try.
- Atossa: I relied on him for a lot of things. But, I'm sure with enough time, even the deepest of attachments can fade.
- I'm sure he wouldn't want you to forget him.
- Atossa: It's funny, but... I have this feeling he told me the same thing. I just can't seem to remember when...
- Atossa: I guess it doesn't really matter, anyway. Life is made up of a series of memories. As long as I hold onto our time together... He'll always be a part of my life.
- Atossa: I'm just happy I got to meet him. So, who cares what happens in the future, right?
- Atossa: ...
- Atossa: Okay, I'll admit, I'm just putting on a brave face.
- Atossa: I was dumped.. wasn't I?
- Atossa: ...Otherwise, why would he just leave like that without saying goodbye?
- I'm sure... he had his reasons.
- Atossa: Hehe, you don't need to comfort me. I'll be okay.
- Atossa: It's just like Caribert said... It's the things we overcome that make life more precious.
- Atossa: And, y'know... If he has a heart, maybe he'll come back and see me one day.
- Atossa: Anyway, thanks for all your hard work, you two. I promised I'd help Granny Jehiet with something, so I should head back. Goodbye!
- Paimon: Well... That should be it, right? Everyone's lives can go back to normal now...
- Paimon: Oh, right! Weren't you about to tell Paimon what happened after your conversation with Caribert?
- (TravelerTraveler): (Right... What was it that happened...? I can't remember...)
- (TravelerTraveler): (Huh? It feels like there's something in my pocket...)
- Paimon: Uh. A picture? Where'd that come from? Let Paimon see...
- "You must get along with each other, the two of you."
