???

What a mess, Gura.

Gura

You were sent to meet me, not scorn me.

???

I'm not scorning you. Just the opposite. They have a new plan for you.

Congratulations. Your contribution is still very much valued.

Gura

... what plan?

???

Behind me.

Gura

What are they?

???

Leaving the Sacrifice in Bifrost is a bit risky, don't you think?

Gura

You plan to dig up the Echo Crystal encasing the Sacrifice?!

I guess you came prepared.

???

Of course, we cannot do everything ourselves. That is why we need you.

Brother...

Awakener

Rayna?

Rayna (?)

Why...

Do! Not! Save! Me!

Awakener

Rayna!

Sova

You're awake.

Awakener

I thought I was still in solitary.

Sova

Yeah? Well, I guess this intel about Rayna can wait until you're out.

Awakener

Intel about Rayna?!

Sova

It's not good news. Raspartans were sighted. According to the reports, they're carrying heavy equipment.

Our agents suspect they're planning to dig up your sister and the crystals encasing her.

Awakener

What?!

Sova

It's okay. They haven't reached her yet. There's still time.

Awakener

I understand. What do you want me to do?

Sova

Stay put and do a bit of training.

3. Stage 37-1, after the battle

Sova

You look like you're in good shape.

Awakener

Are we going?

Sova

Everything is ready.

Awakener

And solitary confinement?

Sova

It ended when you saw me.

4. Stage 37-3, before the battle

Gura

Something's not right.

Raspartan Soldier

Is there something wrong, Commander?

Gura

Are you certain we haven't been seen?

Raspartan Soldier

We have been very careful, and our scouts have not seen anyone, not even civilians.

Gura

Surveillance devices?

Raspartan Soldier

Our route only takes us through abandoned towns. All the CCTVs date from before the Calamity.

But as a precaution our scouts have been destroying any surveillance cameras they find.

Gura

Really. So why do I get the feeling we are being watched?

I hope I'm just being paranoid.

5. Stage 37-10, before the battle

9 lines
Sova

Back here again.

Eriri

The price we paid last time will be repaid with interest!

Snezhana

Huh? The price we paid last time?

Eriri

Yeah! We got our butts kicked, remember?!

Snezhana

But our plan worked, Rasparta... Oh. Sorry.

Awakener

It's fine.

Rasparta was behind it and that's a fact.

Sova

Enough chatter. I see the Raspartan support force.

Get ready.

6. Stage 37-10, after the battle

8 lines
Eriri

That's it! Their supply lines are cut off!

Snezhana

That was a lot easier than I expected.

And we learned something interesting too.

Awakener

What?

Sova

The person in command of the Raspartan force is our ''old friend'' Gura.

Awakener

Gura? Uh-oh.

There's no way she will let an attack on her supply lines go unpunished.

Sova

It's all for a good cause.
